COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
Be it remembered that the Common Council of the City of South Bend,. Indiana met in the Committee
of the Whole in the Council Chambers of the County -City Building at 8:05 p.m. with nine members
present. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Odell Newburn who presided.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH BEND, IDENTIFIED AS ORDINANCE NO. 4990, ORDINANCE
NO. 3702, AS AMENDED, TO THE EXTENT IT IS STILL EFFECTIVE,
AND THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, SECTIONS 40 -1
TO SECTIONS 40 -43, AS AMENDED, TO THE EXTENT IT IS STILL
EFFECTIVE (Southwest Corner, Eddy and Jefferson)
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Arthur Frisk, Attorney for Associates
Family Services Center, spoke for the ordinance. This ordinance is asking that the same zoning
approved by the Council for the original petition filed by Associates now be approved again.
The site plan filed with the original petition was for a two -story building. However, the build-
ing constructed on the site is a three -story building. Mr. Frisk said that this was a technical
difference. The site plan did provide for a possible third story and this is the way the con-
tracts were let. The Cl Commercial zoning would allow for a building with up to seven stories
so it is not a question of any violation of the zoning. They are asking that the Council approve
an amended site plan allowing for a three -story building. The amended site plan has been
recommended favorably by the Area Plan Commission. Mr. Frisk said they are respectfully request-
ing the Common Council to approve this amendment so that the site plan for this particular tract
of land might conform to the law. Miss Fanny Grunwald, 227:S. Francis Street, said that she
objected to the fact that this whole matter came up because she complained to the Council about
employees of Associates parking on the street all day so that residents of the neighborhood had
no place to park. She said the names of all the commissioners, inspectors, contractors, and
others involved in this project should be made public. She said that someone must have been
aware that the building was not being built according to regulations, and that it should not be
legalized now. She said allowing this corporation to disobey the law is not setting a good
example for our young people. Mr. Thomas Maloney, Catalpa Drive, said that approving this tech=
nical error would be legalizing a flagrant violation of zoning laws. He said he does not think
it is right that a corporation can go ahead and ignore the dictates of the Council and then the
Council give its blessing to the actions of the corporation. He said it is a testimony to the
power of Associates in South Bend. Mrs. Patricia Maloney, Catalpa Drive, said that, if the
Council approves this rezoning, they are sanctioning an illegal act by a corporation. This
This irresponsibility should be treated the same as an individual would be treated, yet no
punitive measures have been suggested and no apology has been received from Associates. Mrs.
Grunwald said that consideration should also be given to the fact that Associates employees who
are parking in the nearby church parking lot are parking on tax -free property. Councilman
Serge commented that this Council came into existence in January and that this problem arose
from the actions of a previous Council. He said that this corporation employs over 900 people
in the area and pays taxes. Councilman Miller said he wished to clarify one point. The Council
is not determining the legality of this matter. Its' only purpose is to determine whether this
building does meet the plans for the City of South Bend. Since the zoning allows for a seven -
story building, Mr. Miller said that in his opinion the building does meet the zoning require-
ments. Councilman Parent said that he has been working on this matter since February in an
.attempt to see how these errors could have been made. There were two major errors. The building
site that was planned, for the three -story or the two -story building, never did have enough
parking available. A petitioner is allowed, when not enough'-on -site parking is available, to go
before the Board of Zoning Appeals for approval of off -site parking. They did not get prior
approval for this. They made a major modification of the site plan and did not petition the
Common Council again to approve the change.. It is difficult to see how this could happen. Mr.
Parent said that he thought Mr. Miller was correct. The Council is not here to try Associates
on whether what they did was legal or illegal. He said that he would like to see the City
Attorney take steps if they wish to prosecute. In the meantime, the Council is in a dilemma.
Mr. Parent continued that he was in favor of giving Associates the proper zoning for the build-
ing. A three -story building could have been built on the site if they had used the proper
procedures. What happens when someone without resources breaks the law on two points? Mr.
Parent concluded that he would like to see the administration take another stance on such
matters in the future. Councilman Kopczynski said that Associates is a credit to the community
and it is unfortunate that this happened. He then asked Mr. Frisk if the building permit was
issued for a two or a three story building. Mr. Frisk said that the contract was let for a three
story building and that the building permit fee paid was $198.50 and was paid on the contract for
a three story building. Councilman Parent said that he had a copy of the application for the
building permit and it was for a two -story building with a fee of $198.50. It would appear that
this fee was not paid for the third story and that Associates might owe a balance of another
$100 which should be paid. Councilman Nemeth asked Mr. Douglas Carpenter of the Area Plan Com-
mission if this was not spot zoning. Mr. Carpenter said that this zoning was recommended for
this area. Councilman Nemeth asked Mr. Carpenter if he did not tell the Council two weeks ago
that the Plan Commission does not approve spot zonings. Mr. Carpenter said they did recommend
approval of this. Councilman Szymkowiak asked Mr. Frisk if the engineers and contractors on a
project do not check to see what type of building permit has been issued. He said he feels very
strongly about this matter since he was a member of the Council which approved the plans for a
two -story building. He said he feels this is not fair to the past Council. Mr. Frisk intro-
duced Mr. William Weist, of the Hickey Construction Company, who gave a lengthy explanation of
the process of obtaining a permit from the State of Indiana for construction of a public build-
ing. Councilman Miller made a motion that the ordinance go to the Council as favorable,
seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. Motion carried.
REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1972
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (CONTINUED)
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE FOR ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION IN
THE GENERAL PARK FUND FOR $56,453.50.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on this ordinance, proponents and opponents
were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. James Seitz, Superintendent of Parks, said that the
Park Department had received a Federal grant of $107,000 from HUD for land acquisition, demo-
lition and relocation expenses for the Linden Park project. A $56,000 partial payment has been
received and has been deposited in the Park General Fund. There are six homes to be demolished
and two condemnation suits pending. They are asking that this money be appropriated from the
Park General Fund to Services Contractual in the amount of $54,453.50 and to Properties for land
acquisition, $3,000.00. This procedure has been recommended by the State Board of Accounts.
Councilman Szymkowiak made a motion that the Ordinance go to the Council as favorable, seconded
by Councilman Parent. The motion carried.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $11,250.00 FROM THE
LOCAL ROAD AND STREET FUND TO THE ACCOUNT "SERVICES
CONTRACTUAL" WITHIN THE LOCAL ROAD AND STREET FUND.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. William J. Richardson, Director of Public
Works, explained that this ordinance is for two intersections; R & S 52 - Angela and Michigan
and R & S 53 - Sample and Walnut. The money appropriated for the Angela project will be used to
develop final plans and specifications for the project, making right -of =way determinations. An
agreement will have to be reached with the University of Notre Dame for some land from the golf
course to complete this project. The Sample - Walnut project is identical and the money will be
used for final plans and specifications and right -of -way determinations for this intersection.
Councilman Nemeth questioned Mr. Richardson about the wording of Section II of the ordinance
which states that the following sums of money have been appropriated. Mr. Richardson said there
is some confusion about this. The Council has set apart certain line items in the Cumulative
Capital Improvement Fund for Services Contractual. Formerly it was just a matter of using a
purchase order to take money out of this line, but now the State Board of Accounts says the
Council must appropriate the money by ordinance. Councilman Miller said he agrees with the pro-
gram and the purposes for using the money but is concerned that it not be overcommitted and that
other projects are being missed. Mr. Richardson said that he does not have written proof that
we are not overcommitted but that is something he watches very closely. He said that priority is
given to all projects shown on the Transportation Map. Councilman Horvath asked Mr. Richardson
if priorities are being considered, if the Olive - Sample project is being taken into consideration.
Mr. Richardson said that the Olive- Sample project will be very much a part of the overall
Sample - Walnut project. Councilman Nemeth made a motion to amend the ordinance as follows: In
Section Two, strike the words "have been" and substitute the words "are hereby ". Councilman
Taylor seconded the motion to amend and it carried. Councilman Nemeth made a motion that the
ordinance go to the Council as favorable as amended. Councilman Kopczynski seconded the motion
and it carried.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $61,875.00 FROM THE
LOCAL ROAD AND STREET FUND TO THE ACCOUNT "SERVICES
CONTRACTUAL" WITHIN THE LOCAL ROAD AND STREET FUND.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on this ordinance, proponents and opponents
were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. William Richardson, Director of Public Works, explain
that this ordinance covered two more Local Road and Street Fund projects, R & S 50 - Elwood and
Angela and R & S 51 - Sample, from Mayflower to Greenview. The Elwood- Angela pavement improve-
ment is at the five -point intersection including Portage, Diamond and Leland. The transportation
study included the straightening of Elwood from the intersection at Portage to Riverside Drive.
The project covers engineering planning and specifications, property acquisition and relocation
of citizens. At the present time, 14,000 vehicles per day cross the Portage Avenue bridge. It
is anticipated that when the new link from Portage to Riverside is completed, it will carry
20,000 to 23,000 vehicles per day. This will be a high type improvement with four lanes, curbs,
gutters, drainage and will be a semi - limited access road. Project 51 will be a continuation of
the four- laning of Sample Street started in 1956 at Chapin Street through the Redevelopment Pro-
gram and will include widening, drainage, curbs and gutters. Mayflower Road is a State Road and
under state jurisdiction. The state may abandon Mayflower back to South Bend and St. Joseph
County and will reconstruct Mayflower prior to abandonment. Councilman Kopczynski asked if it
might be given just to the city. Mr. Richardson said that there would have to be an agreement
with the county and that it would be better if either the east or west right -of -way line were
extended so that it would be under the jurisdiction of either the city or the county, not both.
Councilman Nemeth made a motion to amend the ordinance as follows: In Section II, strike the
words "have been" and substitute the words "are hereby ". Councilman Kopczynski seconded the
motion and it carried. Councilman Serge asked Mr. Richardson if the project concerning Elwood
Avenue would extend as far west as LaSalle High School. Mr. Richardson said that would depend
on what is going to happen to the Drewry's plant. This is where the bottleneck is and it will
take a lot of salesmanship to get the necessary right -of -way to widen Elwood. It will involve
moving the curb back and eliminating parking. Councilman Kopczynski made a motion that the
ordinance go to the Council as favorable as amended. Councilman Szymkowiak seconded the motion
and it carried.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF $70,000 FROM
THE CUMULATIVE SEWER BUILDING AND SINKING FUND.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on this ordinance, proponents and opponents
were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Mr. William Richardson, Director of Public Works,
said that this ordinance covers engineering plans and specifications for the Model Cities sewer
project. The city has received a sewer grant from HUD for $600,000 for matching funds for this
project which will involve $1,300,000, and which is for the separation of sanitary and storm
sewers. This separation throughout the city is a major program that was started in 1960. The
Cumulative Sewer Building and Sinking Fund does have adequate money to finance this program.
Separation of storm and sanitary sewers has been mandated by the Federal Government. The project
would direct the water into a retention basin southwest of Linden Park. Councilman Szymkowiak
REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 25 1972
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (CONTINUED)
questioned Mr. Richardson about the exact location and asked if another site could be found.
Mr. Richardson said they have made an extensive study and this is the only site. It will be dry
90 to 95% of the time and can be used for other purposes when it is dry. It will be landscaped
and maintained by the Park Department. Councilman Parent made a motion that the ordinance go to
the Council as favorable, seconded by Councilman Taylor, and carried.
ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE
AND TRUST INDENTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVENUE
BONDS AND THE FORM AND TERMS OF THE LEASE AND TRUST
INDENTURE AND BONDS AND THE ISSUANCE OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS PERTAINING TO METALSTAMP, INC.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, Attorney for the Economic
Development Commission, said that the Commission;had'.filed ah'application in June of 1972 for
this issuance of revenue bonds. He then introduced Mr. Robert Klotz, President of Metalstamp.
Mr. Klotz said that he was one of two owners of the company and lived in South Bend. He said the
company has been in existence for five years, with their plant situated in Walkerton. They are
presently operating at full capacity and potential new business creates the need for expansion.
They are planning a building with 1500 square feet to be located in Greene Township on Indiana
23. They will be hiring both skilled and unskilled workers, tool and diemakers and press oper-
ators and anticipate hiring about 50 people within the next two to three years. This will be of
benefit to the city and he said they are hoping for Council approval of this project. Council-
man Kopczynski asked the capacity of the largest press the company operates and Mr. Klotz
replied that it was 750 tons and this would be the largest press after`-the expansion program.
Councilman Taylor made a motion that the ordinance go to the Council as favorable, seconded by
Councilman Kopczynski. Motion carried.
Councilman Parent made a motion to rise and report to the Council; seconded by Councilman Taylor.
The motion carried.

CITIZENS REQUESTS - MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
Mr. Nemeth, speaking as a resident of the city, asked Mr. Richardson about the new leg of Jeffer-
son Street. He said that he is concerned that with the icing of the roads this winter, eastbound
cars may slide into the westbound lane. He asked if any type of a divider is plannes; if so,
when and if not, why not.- Mr. Richardson said he did not believe any kind of a divider was
planned. He said the city uses a 100% chemical ice control in the downtown area and that he
would hope we do not have a problem. He said they could put up a median guard rail but he
doubted whether it would be a safety feature. He said he would investigate this matter and
report to Mr. Nemeth.

NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR YEAR OCT. 1, 1972 TO SEPT. 30, 1973 - Dated Sept. 15, 1972
Binder No. 17 - Filed in the City Clerk's Office September 20, 1972.
A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Lloyd Taylor, Executive Director
of the Redevelopment Department, explained that the Neighborhood Development Program came into
existence a few years ago to replace certain Urban Renewal programs which were not working at
that time. The application was submitted previously and was not funded by HUD and their
office in Indianapolis asked us "to re- submit the application in August of this year. The appli-
cation has been revised slightly and the area includes all of the model neighborhood area and
all of the southeast neighborhood area and the present northeast code enforcement project.
REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1972
RESOLUTION NO. 328 -72 (CONTINUED)
The Model Cities area, bounded by Orange Street, Linden Avenue, Olive Street, and Sadie Street.
is a total clearance area. The southeast area, which is two square blocks bounded by the lst
alley East of Michigan, the lst alley South of Paris, the lst alley West of Carroll and the`18t
alley North of Elder is a partial clearance area. Plans are to rehabilitate about nine houses
in that area. The total project has been approved by both the Southeast and the Model Neighbor-
hood Associations. The program will involve relocation of 60 families in both areas. We will
have a total federal capital grant of $1,447,100. This will include $463,000 for relocation
grants and $34,200 in rehabilitation grants. Miss Fanny Grunwald asked Mr. Taylor where the
families will be relocated. Mr. Taylor said that a study is being made of all vacant dwellings
throughout the city and whether or not they can be used as relocation facilities. They will also
work with the Public Housing Authority on relocation. Councilman Kopczynski asked Mr. Taylor if
some of the relocation allowances are quite generous. Mr. Taylor said that they follow the
federal guidelines required under the 1970 Uniform Relocation Act. Councilman Kopczynski then
asked what the allowance would be for a three bedroom house. Mr. Taylor said that, if a family
is dislocated and they need a three bedroom house, federal guidelines established would require
that they be relocated in a decent three bedroom unit in the area at about $15,000. If the
price to acquire their old unit of housing is $7,000, then the relocation payment to them is the
difference between that figure and the $15,000 for the new housing unit, or $9,000. Councilman
Kopczynski asked Mr. Taylor if the relocation guidelines will be used in the work on the Olive -
Sample overpass. Mr. Taylor said that the 1970 Uniform Relocation Act covers all federally
assisted programs. Councilman Parent made a motion that the resolution be adopted, seconded by
Councilman Taylor. The resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of eight ayes (Councilmen
Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Newburn and Nemeth) one nay (Councilman
Horvath).

of the Department of Redevelopment, said that these resolutions authorize the Mayor to enter
into a contract on behalf of the city with the Department of Housing and Urban Development for

the Code Enforcement Projects, in the Northeast Neighborhood No. E -3 and in the Model Cities
Neighborhood, No. E -5. In May of 1971 we entered into an agreement for the E -3 project and
in July we entered into a contract on E -5, funded for a period of one year. Last June
amendatory contracts for both projects extended them for six months. There is a shortage of
funds for code enforcement projects and HUD has been phasing out the funding of these projects.
We feel it is necessary that we ask for additional funding. Both of the resolutions allow the
Mayor to amend the contracts by increasing the amounts. In the resolution on E -5, Section A
would be increased to $300,050, Section B increased to $145,000, and Section C increased to
$8,747. in the resolution on E -3, Section A would be increased to $511,608, Section B increased
to $183,342, Section C increased to $10,022.
Councilman Miller made a motion that the Resolution contained in Item 9B, Project Ind. E -5, be

REPORT OF CITY OF SOUTH BEND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MAKING CERTAIN ESTIMATES
Pursuant to the Municipal Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended, the City
of South Bend Economic Development Commission is required to make certain estimates in
regard to the proposed acquisition of an industrial project by the city of South Bend
which is to be leased to Land Trust No. 29 -5121, the owner of said land trust being
A.G.A. Realty Company of South Bend an Indiana Partnership. The estimates are as
follows:
(1) The number of public services or facilities, including streets, sidewalks,
schools, sewers, street lights, fire and police protection which would be made
additionally necessary or desirable on account of the proposed acquisition are none
and the expenses therefore are none.
(2) The total project cost of the proposed facilities, including all necessary
financial costs, will be in the amount of $1.6 million and not to exceed $2.2 million.
The actual dollar amount is unascertainable at this moment, pending conclusion of
negotiations with potential lessess.
(3) The number of jobs to be created by the proposed acquisition; construction
and leasing thereof will be approximately 50, ranging upwards to a possible high of
75, and the estimated annual payroll will be from $250,000 to $375,000.
The completion of the JMS Building and the addition of the new section on the
land recently bid and purchased from the Redevelopment Commission will all be in
complaince with R -66, the plan for the redevelopment of South Bend, and we are sure
that this will be a handsome addition to the city and provide a welcome increase in
the tax base.
