ORDINANCE FIXING THE SCHEDULE OF RATES AND CHARGES TO
BE COLLECTED BY THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, FROM
THE OWNERS OF PROPERTY SERVED BY THE SEWAGE DISPOSAL
WORKS OF SAID CITY, AND OTHER MATTERS CONNECTED THERE-
WITH", PASSED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA ON FEBRUARY 24, 1954, AS AMENDED
BY AN ORDINANCE NO. 4844 PASSED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL
OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ON APRIL 25, 1966.
Councilman Craven moved to amend ordinance by substitution and amendment was read
by Councilman
Craven. The motion was seconded by Councilman Laven and carried unanimously.
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. David Wells, Sanitation Engineer,
spoke on the ordinance revising rates for sewage treatment for the construction of additional
equipment and operating costs of the Wastewater plant of South Bend. Following hearings with
the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board, the City was mandated to chlorinate the final ef-
fluent of the sewage plant by May, 1969, and subsequently the City was directed to remove 80%
of the phosphates. Having applied for assistance,State and Federal funds in the amount of
$4,451,275 are now available. If the facilities are not built, the administration and City
would be in contempt of the Stream Pollution Control Board and eventually, the courts. Re-
payment of the bond and the operation of the new facilities are to be provided for with the
proposed rate. Passage of this ordinance should not be delayed since our time table is quite
short and the loss of these grants would result in approximately 24% increase to the taxpayer.
Eighty per cent of the increased cost is due to the need for five chemicals and additional
power; increased labor and overhead account for the balance. The final minimum monthly
charge will be $3.40. Forty per cent of the rate increase would go into effect on July, 1971,
forty per cent in July, 1972 and twenty per cent in January, 1973. Mr. Wells urged passage
of this legislation in order to keep our river as a recreational area rather than an open sewer.
Mr. William Ogden who resides in Mishawaka and is a representative of the United Auto Workers
retirees in the county, objected to the increased rates and said that provisions should be
made for exemption for people on Social Security and fixed incomes; that old people are never
going to see the river clean. Mrs. Robert Rice of the Rice Enterprises, 1420 So. Michigan St.,
South Bend, referred to an article written by the Industrial Pollution Control Council in the
Department of Commerce regarding several methods of low cost removal of phosphates. She asked
if the new equipment was necessary. Miss Virginia Guthrie, executive secretary of the Civic
Planning Association, asked if limitations placed on phosphate contents in detergents by the
Indiana General Assembly would not affect the requirements for phosphate removal from the
sewage. Mr. Wells referred to a letter from Mr. Perry Miller, Technical Secretary of the
Stream Pollution Control Board, dated May 28, 1971, addressed to Mr. Lloyd S. Taylor, City
Engineer, which contains the following paragraph: "As you know, all phosphorus does not
come from detergents. Human wastes contain considerable amounts and in addition, even with
the reductions required by the Detergent Act, there would still be a significant amount of
phosphorus in compounds used in cleaning, industrial and commercial operations. Therefore,
phosphorus removal facilities will still be required at the wastewater treatment plant." Mr.
Robert Rice of the Rice Enterprises, 1420 So. Michigan Street, South Bend, stated that while
he did not oppose the ordinance, he felt that it was somewhat inequitable in that as compar-
ed to any other public utility, industry pays the same rate as the householder. He wished
to clarify that the launderers and cleaners were not as much to blame for the pollution as
was attributed to them; that since their water goes through steam operations, it is purified.
They now have the added problem of having to pay the higher rate but are not able to increase
their prices because the coin operated machines cannot be changed to 56, increase or 10� in-
crease. The next step is a 501� coin machine which would decrease the use of the laundromats
and increase the sales of the automatic home washers. Mr. Laven thought it was a point well
taken and asked Mr. McCullough to comment on the rate. Mr. Taylor said that the contracts
with the gas and electric companies are risky for the consumer; that since we have a certain bas
fixed cost, we try to make everybody pay for that fixed cost. Mr. Michael McIntire, Notre
Dame Law Professor, opposed the ordinance stating he strongly disagreed with the philosophy be-
hind it, in that it was unfair; that it subsidizes the large users. He suggested the Council
reconsider and referred them to a book entitled "Composition of Industrial Waste ". He stated
that oil and gasoline are a terrific problem that could very well be taken care of in a sur-
charge. Those who create the problem should be made to pay for them. Graduated rates are
highly discriminatory against the property owner, retirees and those on fixed incomes. Heavy
metals and concentrates create problems also. City Attorney S. J. Crumpacker replied to Mr.
McIntire by stating that to say that the step rate schedule system is insane would mean that

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (Continued)
perhaps we have been insane for some seventeen years; it is strange that we have never heard
of it until now. The City of South Bend is competing for economic survival. We are trying
desparately to bring new industries into the community. Industry would leave in a stampede
if the schedules were turned upside down. We do not have all the time in the world to con-
sider this matter, as we have a 90 -day limitation. We must not throw away a grant of over
three million dollars. Mr. Roman J. Kowalski, 802 Birchway, South Bend, admonished that we
are recklessly accepting grants and must remember that we still have to pay for them. He in-
quired how much time we had to pay for this 7.7 million dollars. Mr. Wells said we have until
1985 to pay off the original 1954 bond, then in 1985 we start to retire these bonds at a cost
of one million dollars per year. Chairman Grounds cited a good example about the people of
Atlanta, Georgia who had to pay 80 to 100 million dollars when they were mandated to clean
their river and put in adequate sewers; that we should be thankful for what we have already
done in thet)ast. Chairman Grounds entertained a motion for a short recess, Councilman
Palmer so moved, seconded by Councilman Allen. Motion carried unanimously. Time: 9:40 P. M.
The Committee of the Whole reconvened at 9:50 P. M.
Councilman Szymkowiak stated that he would like to see the small user get a break since indus-
try can take the utility expense as a tax deduction. Mr. John Hunter, Superintendent of the
Water Works, advised that the commercial user will be billed monthly and the householder bi-
monthly at an added expense to the department. Councilman Laven felt that this ordinance had
been discussed quite thoroughly, we should support it as amended thus providing our children
with something very worthwhile. He made a motion that the ordinance go to Council as favor-
able as amended, seconded by Councilman Reinke. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE NO. 5300 -71
AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE USE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SEWERS AND DRAINS, PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL, THE INSTAL-

CHARGE OF WATERS AND WASTES INTO THE PUBLIC SEWER SYSTEM(S):
AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF: IN THE CITY
OF SOUTH BEND, COUNTY OF ST. JOSEPH, STATE OF INDIANA.
This being the time heretofore set fort ublic hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to heard thereon. Mr. Lloyd S. Taylor, City Engineer,
spoke on the Sewer Use Ordinance which has been developed by tte.Engineering Department with
the cooperation of the Superintendent of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Building Com-
missioner and the County Health Office, and reviewed by several local firms and associations.
The ordinance defines and regulates the disposal of water borne waste either by private sew-
age disposal systems or into the public sewer system. It states the materials and concentra-
tions which may not be discharged, the manner in which these concentrations will be measured
and the circumstances under which they may be made acceptable. This ordinance has been under
consideration for approximately sixteen years.

deleting "section 10 of this article" and adding "Article 10, Section 1 of this Ordinance."
Seconded by Councilman Laven. Motion carried.

ORDINANCE NO. 3702. (3525 South Michigan St.)
This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Attorney William N. Farabaugh spoke
for Myron and Rosemary Ferrar who presently own and operate the Seeley Boot Shop, 218 So. St.
Joseph St., South Bend, and are to relocate because of the urban renewal program. They have
looked at sixteen different locations and have now found a site at 3525 So. Michigan Street,
South Bend,, which would be very suitable for the purpose of their long time family type shoe
store and they request that zoning be changed from "B" Residential District to "C" Commercial
District. Mr. Farabaugh presented pictures and sketches of the present and future sites and
buildings. He stated there were no objections from the surrounding householders and that the
attractive decor would add favorably to the area. Councilman Allen requested that considera-
tion be given to saving the trees. Councilman Laven made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Szymkowiak, that following the word "District." there be added ", subject to the site plan
attached hereto." Motion carried. Mr. Douglas Carpenter of the Area Plan Commission said
they had formerly rejected this site because they had felt since it was mostly residential,
it would be more conducive to a type of business with less traffic conjestion. Councilman
Palmer made a motion that this ordinance go to Council as favorable, as amended. Seconded
by Councilman Craven. Motion carried.
