REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 1980
REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED (CONTINUED)
RESOLUTION NO. 784 -80 A RESOLUTION REQUESTING AND ENPOWERING THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, TO
PETITION.THE ST. JOSEPH COUNTY DRAINAGE BOARD FOR THE
ADMISSION OF THE MUNICIPAL DRAIN COMMONLY KNOWN AS
"BOWMAN CREEK ", INTO THE COUNTY DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF
ST. JOSEPH COUNTY AS A LEGAL DRAIN.
There is no City agency with the mission, the resources or the expertise to address the
ongoing problems of the Bowman Creek. These problems include cleaning, dredging, maintenance
of undergound structures such as culverts, and maintenance of aboveground structures such as
railings.
The Bowman Creek enters the City on Ireland Road east of Olive Street. It then flows
northeasterly through the AM General plant, north of the Sibley Foundry, past the First Bank
and Trust Company branch at Ewing and Michigan, through the Riley High School field, through
the Studebaker Golf Course, through the Studebaker School field, through Ravinia Park, through
the Northern Indiana Public Service Company facility on Pennsylvania Avenue, under the Conrail
and Grand Trunk tracks, past the fire station at Lincoln Way East and finally into the St.
Joseph River somewhat south of Sample Street.
If the Bowman Creek is designated as a legal drain, the St. Joseph County Drainage Board
could then levy an assessment on the property owners of South Bend. This assessment would not
be limited by the "frozen" tax levy. The proceeds from the assessment would then be used to
address the maintenance problems of Bowman Creek.
The costs, damages and expenses of the improvement of said drain within the county drainage
system will be less than the benefits that will be derived by the land likely to be benefitted
by such improvements.
The improvements to such drain will improve the public health by draining lands owned by
the City of South Bend and its citizens. Proposed improvements to structures will improve the
public safety by correcting deficiencies in guard rails which are in gross repair.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the Civil City of South Bend that:
SECTION I. The Common Council of the CIty of South Bend petition the St. Joseph
County Drainage Board for the admission of the municipal drain, commonly known as "Bowman
Creek" into the St. Joseph County drainage system as a legal drain.
SECTION II. The Board of Public Works is hereby requested and given the authority to
file such peition before the St. Joseph County Drainage Board.
SECTION III. This resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption
by the Common Council and approved by the Mayor.
/s /John Voorde
Member of the Common Council
A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Patrick McMahon, Director of
Public Works, indicated that Bowman Creek has never been designated as a legal drain, therefore,
the City has very limited, if any, power or jurisdiction to effect improvements or maintenance
in the area. He indicated that if the City if successful in this application, the question of
jurisdiction and authority to effect improvements will be resolved. Council Member Dombrowski
made a motion to adopt this resolution, seconded by Council Member Szymkowiak. The resolution
was adopted by a roll call vote ofnine ayes.
