REGULAR MEETING <br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR <br />June 27, 2016 <br />Jesse Davis, P.O Box 10205 South Bend, expressed concern regarding a property near Frank's <br />Tavern and possible drug and nefarious activities taking place. Mr. Davis stated you could smell <br />marijuana and also witness a couple engaging in sexual intercourse. That property needs to be <br />looked into especially on the weekends. Mr. Davis stated he will bring the photographs to the <br />Clerk's Office proving his charges. <br />Janice Suter, 18211 Kern Road South Bend, submitted a document to the City Clerk's Office <br />regarding Bill 16 -57. <br />Samuel Brown, 222 East Navarre Street South Bend, thanked Randy Wilkerson for the good job <br />he is doing at Code Enforcement. For over a year the Drewery's Plant has been a hazard to the <br />City and the City has fought very hard to get him to take care of his property. Mr. Wilkerson did <br />a great job getting the owner to fly into South Bend and take care of the property. We need more <br />people like him in City government. <br />Kathleen Gains, 59030 Ironwood Trail South Bend, spoke in opposition for the proposed fire <br />station at Potawatomi Park. She has sat on a board to establish a sensory garden at the park. The <br />plan is currently to have it near the conservatory. To date the group has $13,000 for the creation <br />of the park. It will be a calming and peaceful atmosphere for children and adults alike with <br />physical and mental disabilities. The creation of a fire station would ruin the point of the sensory <br />garden and be counterproductive. The sole purpose of the garden will be diminished if a fire <br />station is built a few hundred feet away. <br />Mike Mitchulski, 1117 South 31St Street South Bend, spoke against the proposed fire station at <br />Potawatomi Park. According to the City of South Bend Parks Five (5) Year Plan we need to <br />preserve the natural environment and protect our valuable natural resources while providing <br />opportunities to local residents. These parks are essential to our local economy and also provide <br />relief from our urban environment. This citizen driven plan to keep the Fire Department out of <br />our parks, establishes a direction to guide City staff, advisory committees, and elected officials. <br />Mr. Mitchulski asked the Council to please protect our parks. <br />Kendra Fox, 1418, Milburn Blvd Mishawaka IN, spoke against the proposed fire station at <br />Potawatomie Park. The sirens from the fires station would bother the children who have autism <br />and would also bother the animals in the park. The loud sirens would harm the peaceful setting in <br />the park. <br />Jason Banicki Critchlow, 3822 West Ford Street, stated he loves the new app that the Innovation <br />Office developed and we need to find a way to integrate that to be used for overgrown lots and <br />properties in terms of both grass and other violations. We also need to preserve our park space at <br />Potawatomi. Mr. Banicki Critchlow stated as a citizen of South Bend every park is his business <br />even if he doesn't live in the River Park Neighborhood. We need to stop as a City viewing our <br />green space as a way to save or make money. There are plenty of places in River Park where we <br />can find another place for the fire station. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, President Tim Scott adjourned the <br />meeting at 8:46 p.m. <br />14 <br />
