A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, URGING THE CITY
ADMINISTRATION TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP IN
AMICABLY RESOLVING THE CURRENT NOISE AND ODOR
PROBLEMS OF THE ETHANOL PLANT
WHEREAS, the Cannon Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, is
very much aware of the public concerns being voiced about current noise
and odor problems of the ethanol plant; and
WHEREAS, the Council is also very concerned that the New Energy
Corporation be given adequate time to investigate and implement changes
which are deemed necessary to correct their current problems; and
WHEREAS, because the Council believes that the City must strike a
reasonable balance between the concerns of our citizens and those of
the economic and business community in order that continued progress be
made in our City; and
WHEREAS, the Council recognizes that the ultimate authority in
this area rests with the City Administration, and therefore encourages
it to cooperate with the Council and the Technical Committee so that it
will provide the leadership necessary to amicably resolve the current
noise and odor problems of the ethanol plant in a timely manner; and
WHEREAS, the Council ultimately believes that through the spirit
of cooperation, the City Administration will be able to protect our
high quality of life and encourage the New Energy Corporation to take
all steps necessary to resolve their noise and odor problems.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City
of South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
SECTION I. The Common Council urges the City Administration to
continue to work through the Mayor's Technical Committee to timely
resolve the current noise and odor problems of the ethanol plant.
SECTION II. Since the Council realizes that the ultimate
authority in this area rests with the City Administration, it requests
that in the event that the problems are not resolved, that it
investigate what legal action may be most appropriate in order to
protect the high quality of life in our community.
SECTION III. The Council urges the City Administration to keep
the Council advised on a regular and consistent basis of all major
issues and of the timetable it believes is most reasonable to correct
these problems.
