REGULAR MEETING March 14, 2016 also brought to the Council his concern for the property of 1408 Elwood Ave. The property owner is not living up to his expectations of making that property safe for the nearby residents. Mr. Brown asked the Council to ask Code Enforcement to look into that property so it is safe for the citizens of South Bend. Sharon Banicki, 3822 Ford St., brought forth a concern she has regarding a police chase that damaged her property. As a result of the police chase her fence was damaged and Code Enforcement sent her a letter stating she has thirty (30) days to fix the fence. It will take longer than thirty (30) days for the lawsuit to go through and fix the fence. Council President Tim Scott and Councilmember Oliver Davis asked her to send the information to them. Jason Banicki Critchlow, 3822 Ford St., stated his appreciation that Elbel is open and will be run by the city this year. He expressed concern about the talk about raising rates and thinks it is a bad strategy to make the course more competitive. Mr. Banicki Critchlow also expressed his concern about the potential of the County and the City to raise the wheel tax from $25 to $75. The residents of South Bend cannot afford those increases and he cautioned the Council against taking that option. Gary King, 730 N Hill St. South Bend, wished to talk about the new flag design but because he can't he will send the Councilmembers emails. Keith D., 750 Idlewood Ln Mishawaka, asked for respect and recognition for helping bring in $250,000 to $500,000 from the Woman's Expo on March 3, 2016. He stated that he sent emails and called the Council many times and never received any type of response. He asked for the Council to set a procedure in place to return phone calls and emails because they were clearly forgotten about. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, President Tim Scott adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m. 11
