AS AMENDED, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ZONING
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
(CHAPTER 21, MUNICIPAL CODE) (SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF ST. JOSEPH ST., AND IRELAND ROAD).
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and op-
ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Dr. Elmer Graber 52690 Brooktrails, made the pre-
sentation for the ordinance. He indicated this rezoning was approved by Area Plan with a sug-
gestion that the Council approve this subject to granting an easement. He said he would like to
have the rezoning without the easement, because the property was narrow. Council Member Horvath
asked that a representative of Area Plan explain the situation. Mr. Tony Molnar, of Area Plan,
explained why the easement was needed. Council Member Adams asked if the stipulation was not
granted would this have to go back to Area Plan. Mr. Molnar indicated it would. Dr. Graber in-
dicated he would like to have the land zoned commercial and at a later date come back with a final
site plan. Council Member Miller asked if Dr. Graber had someone interested in the land who did
not want the easement. Dr. Graber indicated he did not have an interested party at this time.
Council Member Miller indicated that if they approved this ordinance with the easement and stipul<
it would be a minor change it would not have to come back through the Council. Council President
Parent indicated that if they did not include the stipulation then it would have to go back to
the Planning Commission. Mr. Molnar indicated it would have to go back, but not necessarily for
a public hearing. Dr. Graber indicated it would greatly diminish the use of this property if
the easement was granted. Council Member Taylor indicated that because of traffic on Ireland it
would be a mistake for Council to remove the stipulation. Council Member Serge asked how wide the
easement would be, and Mr. Molnar indicated it could be 25', or as small as 20'.
Council Member Taylor made a motion this ordinance go to Council favorably with the stipulation
included in the ordinance, the period after the word District be made a comma and subject to the
approval of a final site plan, which indicates an access easement which is aligned with commercial
development to the east, be added. This motion was seconded by Council Member Serge. The motion
carried.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 1,
SECTION 2 -10 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA, 1976, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS
THE STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
BY THE ADDITION OF CITIZEN MEMBERS TO SUCH
COMMITTEES.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and op-
ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Roger 0. Parent, Fourth District Councilman,
made the presentation for the ordinance. He explained that this would allow standing committees
of the Council to have up to one -third of their members be citizens. He indicated he felt this
would establish a relationship between the citizens and elected officials. He indicated it was
very important that new methods be devised for citizens to relate to their elected officals. He
said the citizen members will not be able to vote or serve as chairman of a committee.
Cathy Barnard, 1957 Malvern Way, President of the League of Women Voters, indicated they felt thi;
ordinance was a step in getting citizens to take active participation in their government. She
indicated that citizens will serve one year terms and they felt it takes at least that long to
understand what they are doing, and perhaps the terms should be two years.
Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, indicated she agreed that this was a good step. She said that many
times the Council can get bogged in technicalities. She said that something has to be done to
get people interested in their government.
Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, indicated they supported
this ordinance. He said the ordinance indicates that you have to be a resident of the city for oz
year and he thought this stipulation should be removed because the Council might be denying them-
selves of the talents of someone who has just moved into the city and is experienced.
Council President Parent indicated that Council committee members are appointed for only one year
and that was the reason why citizen members would serve one year terms. He indicated the ordinan
should be amended regarding residency. He made a motion to cross out "for not less than one year
prior to appointment" from the ordinance, seconded by Council Member Miller. The motion carried.
Council Member Adams made a motion to amend the ordinance so that citizen members shall be appoint
by Council Members of the standing committee, seconded by Council Member Miller. Council Presider
Parent indicated he thought the citizen members should be appointed the same way the Council Memb(
is appointed, by the Council President. Council Member Adams indicated she felt it would be good
to have the committee choose the citizen member. Council Member Kopczynski indicated he would
like to speak against this ordinance. He indicated there were many commissions and boards in the
City and two districts, the sixth and second, are not being fairly represented. He indicated he
would like the ordinance to be sent to committee. A vote was taken on Council Member Adams' motic
and it lost. Council Member Adams made another motion to amend the ordinance in paragraph (b)
that citizen members shall be appointed by the majority of the Common Council, and on page 2
paragraph (2) change the word president to members, seconded by Council Member Miller. Council
President Parent indicated he thought this was a good idea and it would allow greater participatic
by the Council Members. The motion carried with Council Members Taylor, Horvath and Dombrowski
opposing. Council Member Adams made a motion to amend page 3 paragraph (m) by adding A copy of
each report shall be filed with the City Clerk, seconded by Council Member Miller. Council Membez
Kopczynski indicated he would not vote on this ordinance.

ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, attorney, made the presenta-
tion for the ordinance. He indicated the Economic Development Commission had approved this. He
said they presently had a business in the City which they would continue to operate, however,
they were going to build a new business in Industrial Park He said this was an expansion of th
tax base and additional employment in our community. Council Member Szymkowiak asked if they
were going to operate the new business the same as they were operating the business on Werwinski
St., and if they were he felt sorry for the Industrial Park. He indicated they were in violation
of the City ordinance on Olive st., and in general they had messy housekeeping. Mr. Jack Dunfee
attorney for Acra Tire, indicated there was no offstreet parking on Werwinski, and there would
be adequate parking in the Industrial Park. He indicated that there had been four hearings re-
garding the fence on Olive St., and there has been no order issued to remove the fence, and in
his opinion the fence is not a violation of the law. He indicated that there would be no messy
housekeeping in the Industrial Park, since it was not allowed. Council Member Kopczynski said
that Mr. Dunfee had alluded to the fact that they will operate their,business differently in the
Industrial Park because someone is making sure they do, and does this mean the City is not en-
forcing the law. He wanted to know who enforced the law in Industrial Park. He was informed
that Industrial Park does its own enforcing. Council Member Miller made a motion that this
ordinance be recommended to the Council favorably, seconded by Council Member Serge. The motion

the City's abatement of urban blight in four target areas that have demonstrated a need for
neighborhood preservation. Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, questioned Mr. Crighton regarding the
qualifications to receive this aid. Council Member Adams asked how a violation in an assistance
program is dealt with. Mr. Crighton indicated that suit would be brought against the violator.

incorporate that in the guidelines, seconded by Council Member Adams. The motion carried.
Council Member Horvath questioned the last sentence of the guidelines which read "Money remaininl
in the account after final inspection shall belong to the non - profit group. Mr. Crighton in-
dicated that many times there will be a balance of $20 or $30, and because they are a non - profit
group it has been determined that small balances should be returned to their account. Council
Member Horvath indicated that it would be better for the money to revert to the rehabilitation
program. Council Member Dombrowski asked what type of groups would qualify under this program.

Dombrowski made a motion that this ordinance be recommended to the Council favorably, as amended,

fact that the letter indicated replacement and Mr. Mullen in his presentation had indicated it
would be repaired. Mr. Mullen indicated it would be repaired not replaced. Mr. Evans questioned

sentation for the ordinance. He indicated the City was faced with an extreme health problem
caused by an excessive population of rats, in the LaSalle Park area and in certain other areas o:
the City. He indicated the City, in cooperation with Health Department, is undertaking a major
clean -up and extermination project in this area to try and solve this problem. Mrs. Jane Swan,
2022 Swygart, indicated that the solution is going to have to be a tax supported trash pickup
service. Mr. David Wells, 5104 Bloomfield, indicated there was a section of town that did
have a City trash pickup and it worsened the problem with rats, because the rats moved in with
the people, so trash and rats do not necessarily go hand -in -hand.
Council Member Szymkowiak indicated he agreed that there should be a City pickup of trash. He

ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Peter Mullen, City Controller, made the pre-
sentation for the ordinance. He said this ordinance was to amend Ordinance No. 5957 -76. He
said they were presently using an insurance consultant, out of Chicago to put specifications
together, and in working with them he recommended this amendment. He said this would make it
easier to bid on this business. Council Member Kopczynski asked the amount of claims the in-
surance company paid in 1976 vs. the amount of premium. Mr. Mullen indicated he was at a loss
to tell him right now, however, he did have those figures in his office. Council Member Kopcyzn:
indicated he would like to know the figures. Council Member Adams indicated that on page two of
the insurance consolutant's letter it indicates the City may not have coverage in January, how-
ever, it was her understanding that the City is in its second year of a three year contract so
whatever happens there will be coverage. Mr. Mullen indicated that was correct. Council Member
Adams asked when they were going to be putting the specs out. Mr. Mullen indicated they were
out. Council Member Adams asked if the committee approved them and Mr. Mullen indicated they
had not approved them. Council Member Adams indicated she would like to propose an amendment
under part 1, to take out the word periodically and insert, each year. Council Member Horvath
indicated he did not think a company would want to submit a bid every nine months since it would
be expensive to prepare. Mr. Mullen agreed that it would be too much work and expense.

it would be his suggestion that the Council did not pass this ordinance, but rather that Council
wait until next year and take a look at the thing again. Council President Parent made a motion
that this ordinance be recommended unfavorably to the Council, seconded by Council Member Dom-
browski. Council Member Miller wanted to know if there was any guarantee there would be insurance
next year. Council Member Adams said that if we do not receive any bids for insurance January 1

carrier must insure us but it does not say at what rate. Kathy Cekanski, Council attorney, asked
Mr. Mullen if the specifications had been filed with the Clerk of the Board of Public Works. Mr.
Mullen indicated they had not been filed, but were in the process. Council President Parent in-
dicated that if this ordinance was passed they would negate the previous ordinance. Council Membe
Adams indicated she would like to propose that the insurance specifications committee hold a
meeting this week and report back to the Council. She asked Council President Parent to withdraw
this motion, he agreed to withdraw, and Council Member Dombrowski withdrew his second. Council,
Member Adams then made a motion that the insurance specifications committee hold a meeting this
week and report back to the Council with their findings, and she would recommend this be tabled

This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and op-
ponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Glenn Terry, Division Chief made the pre-
sentation for the ordinance. He indicated the wounding of Cpl. Maurice Woods has precipitated

could be used toward this purpose. He indicated there would be a surplus in the 110 account avai:
able for transfer to make up the $27,000. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Plan-
ning Association indicated he had hoped to hear that this matter had originated with the police
officers. He said that if this was the request of the individual officers we would have some in-
dication that the $22,000 being spent on vests was for a good cause and they would be worn. Chie:
Terry said they ran a questionnaire and practically one hundred percent feel body armor should be
available in our department.
Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, asked if they had any idea how much the treatment for Corporal Wood!
was going to cost. Chief Terry said he would venture to say the cost was going to exceed $22,000
and he thought this was a small amount to pay for future protection. Council President Parent in-
dicated that the Council wanted every officer who wanted a vest to have one. He said the Council
did not want to be placed in a situation where any officer did not have a vest. He said he would
like to receive a signed statement from each man who did not want one. Council President Parent
made a motion that this ordinance be recommended favorably to the Council, seconded by Council
Member Dombrowski. The motion carried.

A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Wayne Brownell, Executive Director
of Redevelopment, said that the purpose of this resolution is to secure the Council's approval
of the Redevelopment Commission's proposed change of the LaSalle Park Project, Ind. R -57, Urban
Renewal Plan. He said the substance of the change is the deletion of certain parcels of land
from the Plan's acquisition list. He said the Commission feels that it would take an undue amoun-
of time, effort and money to acquire these parcels in relation to the benefit to be derived. He
said this would further time spent acquiring the properties which would unduly delay the close
out of the Project. Council Member Kopczynski asked if the lots were adjacent to each other and
if they were suitable for building. Mr. Brownell indicated they were not adjacent and some were
suitable for building. Council Member Kopczynski asked who owned the lots. Mr. Brownell indicat(
they were owned by individual citizens. Council Member Serge made a motion that the resolution bf
adapted, seconded by Council Member Dombrowski. The resolution was adopted by a roll call vote
of nine ayes (Council Members Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Taylor, Kopczynski, Adams, Dombrowski,
Horvath and Parent).
