Mr. Richard Johnson, Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission, made the presentation for the ordinance. He referred to an overlay of the area which was proposed to be rezoned as initiated by the Area Plan Commission.

Council President Nemeth made a motion to amend the ordinance as requested by Mr. Farrand, seconde by Councilman Taylor. Councilman Miller wondered about the problem of advertising the ordinance title if certain words in the title were changed, and Mr. James Roemer, City Attorney, felt there would be no legal problem. Councilman Szymkowiak asked if South Shore was in agreement to the easement and if the problems in that area regarding the tracks and traffic would be corrected. Mr Farrand stated that the ordinance refers to the portion of Westmoor Street (running east and west) along the north side of Bendix Drive. He indicated that the area had been a problem area for quit some time. The street is presently a 60 -foot plus street with the tracks down the middle. There are two lanes of traffic on both sides of the tracks. The city was approached by the railroad in order to coordinate efforts to improve the situation. It was suggested that it might be possible to relocate the tracks outside the streets. This would eliminate further maintenance problems and general problems of the street itself. The easement would be granted so that if the track was abandoned, there would be no problem. Mr. Farrand stated that, if the Council acted favorably on the proposed ordinance, he would have to come back before the Council for funds for the improvemen , He concluded by indicating that this would be a definite asset to the city and the railroad. Councilman Horvath wondered who would remove the tracks, and Mr. Farrand indicated that the railro � would locate the new tracks. He stated that it has not been determined if the old tracks would be salvaged and who would remove them. The motion to amend the ordinance carried.

Mr. Robert Goodrich, Director of the Public Recreation Department, made the presentation for the ordinance. He explained the various summer REGULAR MEETING MAY 13, 1974 11 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (CONTINUED) programs sponsored by the Park Department.

Approximately 44 persons would be needed for a cost of $17,000. The second program concerned the summer track program with sites at Adams /Notre Dame, Jackson, LaSalle, Riley and Washington.

Mr. Goodrich stated that about 75 or 80 additional summer jobs would be created; however, there wer certain qualifications for some of the positions, such as lifeguards, etc. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, wondered about the use of revenue sharing funds for salaries, and Mr. James Roemer, City Attorney, stated that the.funds could be utilized fo salaries if the necessary requirements were met. Mr. Evans stated that some of the salaries would be paying approximately $4.26 per hour. He questioned whether or not the hourly rate was more than necessary to attract the people to a summer program. Mr. Goodrich felt the hourly rates were not too high. He reminded Mr. Evans that some of the salaries to be paid would be paid to custodians for their work and would involve time and a half because.the work was required in the evenings. Mr Evans wondered if the equipment purchased each year was expended in one summer. Mr. Goodrich state that the equipment used out -of -doors usually does not last longer than one season. He felt there was a need to replace a portion of the equipment. Mr. Evans then asked if the equipment purchased would be used year- round, and Mr. Goodrich stated that some of the equipment is used year -round and not just during the summer months. Councilman Serge wondered about the number of players that woul have to be dressed on the track team. Mr. Goodrich answered that, for a local meet, there might be 300 to 400 South Bend entrants. Several age groups were represented in the track program. He stated that there were five locations and about 150 to 200 people at each location. Councilman Taylor wondered if the Jackson School pool was open during the summer. Mr. Goodrich stated that the pool was used during the day for instructional swimming and then it was rented out for a couple hours in the evening. He indicated that, at one time, the pool was open to the public but it was not a great success because of the number of private pools in the area. Council President Nemeth wondered about the eligibility requirement in the bowling program. Mr. Goodrich stated that this Iwas geared for children and the city pays the fee. He thought the fee was about 40� per child. lCouncilman Szymkowiak made a motion that the ordinance go to the Council as favorable, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. The motion carried.

The amount of spa allotted to the city was 26.515 %; however, in the past, this space was not available. Now certain offices had been moved and space was made on the 12th floor for the relocation of the Deputy Controller's Office, Personnel and Purchasing, Manpower and the Print Shop.

Mr. Rollin Farrand, Director of the Department of Public Works,.made the presentation for the ordinance. He stated that, because of recent increases in gasoline, it had been estimated that additional funds would be needed. He indicated that gasoline has increased from 24.9 per gallon to 35.8 per gallon and this had not been antici pated in the current budget. He concluded that the amount of $46,000 would cover the purchase of gasoline for a three -month period beginning July 1, and it would be necessary to request a further appropriation at that time based on the then current price of gasoline. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, wondered about the anticipa gallon usage for 1974. Mr. Farrand stated that it was approximately 35,000 gallons per month; how ever, that figure had been varying from month to month, and he stated that the number of gallons p month has dropped since December.

Mr. Farrand considered this a very important safety project. Regarding the paving of Inwood Road and Denslow Drive, Mr. Farrand stated that the two streets are county take -over streets and severe deterioration has occurred during the last two winters. He also mentioned that both streets have severe drainage problems. He made reference to the resolution on the agenda approving improvements and the impoundment of taxes in the Meadowview Addition.

REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Mr. Rollin Farrand Director of the Department of Public Works, made his quarterly report to the Council. He introduced Mr. James Meehan, the new manager of vehicle maintenance at the Municipal Services Facility. He talked about the building improvements and gave credit for that to Mr. Stanley Przybylinski. He stated that floor drains to eliminate the problem of water at the Municipal Services Facility had been installed. Theft problems have been reduced and keys dis- tributed in the equipment and tool room. Mr. Farrand further stated that there have been some organizational changes within the department. Additional personnel have been assigned to the 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shifts and small labor and repair work is being done within the facility. The slurry machines were rebuilt during the winter months and several vehicle components were being rebuilt. In comparing January through April of 1973 and 1974, the outside repair account was down 53.9 %, repair parts were down 38.9% and other parts were down 32.6 %. He complimented Mr. Meehan for his work done on the vehicles. Councilman Newburn wondered if there was a program of checking the patrol vehicles before being taken out on the streets. Mr. Meehan stated that the inspection of the vehicle is left to the driver of the car. In the event oil is needed, the Municipal Service Facility would add"it. Mr. Meehan also indicated that oil has been made available to the officers at the station for their use on weekends. Councilman Newburn stated that some vehicles, in an emergency run, have run out of gas. He questioned this and felt this should be the responsibility of the driver to make sure the vehicle had a full tank of gas, enough oil, etc. Mr. Meehan stated that in an emergency run, running out of gas cannot be prevented. He indicated that Councilman Newburn was correct in saying that the responsibility of the cars was up to the Police Department. Councilman Kopczynski questioned certain claims submitted to the city for purchase and adding of it to the city -owned vehicles. He felt the cars should not need that much oil, and he wondered by there was so much oil consumed. Mr. Farrand stated that the city has secured warranty service when needed on the cars. Councilman Kopczynski wondered if the fleet of vehicles in the Police Department was adequate. Mr. Meehan was reluctant to generalize. He stated that the detective cars are in excellent shape, and the marked cars were in fair shape. He mentioned that each driver rives a car differently and not all cars were, therefore, in the same condition. Councilman Kopczynski wondered if the new program at the Municipal Services Facility would help to prolong the life of the vehicles, and Mr. Meehan expressed hope that it would. Councilman Szymkowiak could not understand why the police officers did not check their cars for gas, oil, water and air in the tire before each run. He felt that was the responsibility of the driver of the car as Councilman Newburn had stated. Councilman Parent felt the impression that the officers do not check the cars as wrong. Councilman Horvath stated that the average mileage on the vehicles was 24,000. He. indicated that this does not mean that the car has been driven to full mileage capacity at the resent time. He felt there would be many more miles driven by the present vehicles. Council resident Nemeth thanked Mr. Farrand and Mr. Meehan for their presentation.
