Captain Robert Hammer stated that with the new administration in the Police Department staff will be identified and though many issues have been resolved over the last few years - the ones still around will continue to be worked on. NOTRE DAME Tim Sexton stated that there has been good crime prevention at Notre Dame and in late February/mid -March there will be an Art Prints Studio put in at the Notre Dame Center of Arts and Culture on Washington. The dedication /blessing will be on March 26 with a Community Open House on March 27. Jeff Shoup, for Notre Dame Office of Housing, stated he wants to give graduate students more opportunities to live off - campus. The office fell away 10 -12 years ago and they have been trying to get back in place for these services. Graduate students make up 1 /3rd to 40% of the Student Body, but there are few services for them. There was a discussion regarding upgrading the services available and offers to help with mediation, neighborhood complaints and finding housing. There was an emphasis on International students as they may require more assistance. The current site to access is housing.nd.edu /off campus. Brett Rocheleau reported the Chief of Police met off campus on campus safety. There were not many break -ins over the holiday but several pedestrians were struck in the Twyckenham and Vaness crosswalk. There will be a motion detection system there by April that will allow a button to be pressed to warn drivers of pedestrians there — the flashing yellow turns red. There will be two at Vaness and two on Douglas Road. There will be a new Student Body President coming in for the next meeting. M1 Jeff Jones stated that the Chancellor is retiring on June 30, 2013 and the search is on for a new Chancellor. Three candidates have been interviewed and a fourth will visit in future. The recommended candidates will go to Bloomington and the choice will then be made. The retiring Chancellor will continue as an Instructor. NEIGHBORHOODS Mike Carrington stated that the Excise Police have been out during football season and have been doing a great job regarding enforcement including permits and licenses. Matt Costello reported that complaints in the neighborhoods on student housing are way down since,October of last year. 2012's lawn parking program went well noting it is usually the same people and same properties in violation. Khali Anthony stated Holladay properties was developing Belfrey and Darby Row. She is planning an Open House and they are bringing amenities to Student housing geared toward off - campus housing. Marquerite Taylor and Luella Webster both discussed the Northwest Neighborhood Association Conference where they met with Captain Hammer. Looking at crime statistics, theirs are some of the lowest in the City. At the Safety Committee Meeting they ran out of chairs, which had never happened before — things are going very well. Mark Kramer stated there were 0 break -ins over the break and no attempts. Kramer Properties is now leasing for the 2014 -2015 school year. Cathy Toppel reports that complaints regarding student housing are down as were complaints about lawn parking. 2 CITY COUNCIL ISSUES Kathy Cekanski - Farrand announced that the City Council will be hosting a reception for the new Chief of Police at the Kroc Center at 7:00 p.m. on February 7, 2013. They want to work with Tim Scott on social media - networking presence on the web. The Snow Shoveling Ordinance was passed. The Urban Chicken Ordinance was passed but not final — need input on it as it will be passed in a month. Gavin Ferlic apologized for the delay in completing the Student survey — there is funding for I -Pads but still no response from Bethel or Holy Cross. Notre Dame students are working on finalizing the survey. There are proposed new rules for "Bike Michiana" to continue to promote a bike friendly community and maybe get involved in some legislation in this area. Jeff Jones whole - heartedly agreed as there have been some tragedies and the community is becoming more bike friendly and encouraging — particularly around Riverside. Captain Hammer put in that Officers have worked on bike safety and there is sensitivity to any type of action. Becoming more aware is the key to safety. Ann -Carol Nash stated the legislative effort of this group needs to be clarified. There is a real need to view the community as bike friendly — particularly downtown. Captain Hammer pointed out a cyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. There was a Motion made for support of Bike Legislative efforts that passed. Council Member Ferlic thanked everyone for attending. The next meeting was tentatively set for March 20, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. at the new Downtown Sub Station.
