REGULAR MEETING October 26, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />a good business venture that’s fine, then he should already be in a position to fund that himself <br />with him and his partners going forward. We can’t afford to subsidize every business person in <br />this city when $900,000 could go a long way to solving a lot of problems for us. We got a <br />chronic homeless problem. We have a very serious crime problem. That we have no real <br />solution to but $900,000 gives a lot more resources. I hope when we go through we consider, that <br />let’s say this time we are not paying back this political figure. Instead we are going to put the <br />people of the City of South Bend ahead first. <br /> <br />Samuel Brown 2222, I am requesting five (5) minutes, three (3) minutes won’t do it. <br /> <br />Samuel Brown request was approved by a voice vote of seven (7) ayes. <br /> <br />Mr. Davis has a good point. The area that he was talking about being shot up and nothing is <br />being done is that nobody of prominence lives in those areas. If that area was in the commons <br />and it was going on, it’d be shut down over night. I feel sorry for the home owners that are in <br />those areas. Hardworking people just trying to hang on to their homes but it goes on a deaf ear <br />and hope that we get behind Mr. Davis and move toward making our City safe. I have been <br />fighting a drug house at 2229 Sadie St. and for some reason that particular house is protected by <br />some body. The word I hear is “Shhhh” they are working on something. The drugs are still <br />being sold. I don’t know what the answer is but we going to keep the fight up trying to get a safe <br />neighborhood. The Council and the Mayor of South Bend came together on a resolution to <br />rename MLK Drive but there has been no action on it. I sit on that board to rename that street, <br />the Mayor said he sent a resolution of his people to the Council and we, every day sit silently and <br />receive no action. I don’t know if this is just a tactic to just let this pass by and be dropped but it <br />won’t be dropped. We are going to keep fighting like we do to save neighborhoods. I wish the <br />Council would contact the Mayor and find out why we can’t meet and get a resolution on this as <br />far as renaming the street. Like we can’t get the crime out of the street. Every time over there in <br />that west side second district it’s a shooting gallery. We shouldn’t have to live like that. We <br />don’t have a lot of money over there so I guess we have to have some people with money to have <br />some safety. I appreciate you giving me the time to talk to you. We need help. I hope it isn’t <br />falling on deaf ears. You are the only people we can talk about our problem to. <br /> <br />John Schafer 402 Bison Ridge, Nappanee, IN – A few weeks ago we rented The State Marquee <br />to send a message to Mayor to the City of South Bend, to the City itself including the Common <br />Council. That message was we wanted a bed for every homeless. First lady Michelle Obama <br />earlier this year created a mayor challenge. That challenge was to encourage mayors to take <br />action to end homelessness with the emphasis on ending veteran homelessness. The Mayor of <br />South Bend is challenged to pull together all resources with the community including the non- <br />profits agencies, shelter, and churches in an effort to collaborate together to end homelessness in <br />this City. The winter is soon approaching us and during extreme weather a few warming stations <br />will open but most will close at 9:00 p.m. Turning the homeless out into the cold at the worst <br />possible time of the day. We feel a twenty-four (24) hour warming station needs to be <br />established during extreme weather. <br /> <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, President Tim Scott adjourned the <br />meeting at 8:05 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />____________________________ ____________________________ <br />John Voorde, City Clerk Tim Scott, President <br />11 <br /> <br />
