CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> is $3.9 million and then going into 2019, you'll see $4,027,000 which is a two percent (2%) <br /> increase, or, $69,000. <br /> Committeemember Williams-Preston asked, How did you project the revenues from the Home <br /> Program? <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied, The Home Program is going to be, basically, and I know they'll get into it <br /> later, but it is a landlord rental inspection. What we'll do is go out and do a home inspection on <br /> the property. The first (1st) inspection is free, the second (2nd) is free based on the follow-up of <br /> violations that might have been written on the first(1st) one (1),then if we have to go back a third <br /> (3rd) or fourth (4th) time to mitigate pending violations, there will be penalties assessed to it. I'm <br /> not one hundred percent(100%)familiar with that ordinance as it has been written but essentially, <br /> that is what they are working toward. <br /> Committee Chair White asked, How much is being spent on illegal dumping? I think you call it <br /> something else like uncontrolled dumping. <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied, We can get that to you just by talking to the vendors we take it to for <br /> disposal. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott stated, On Landlord Registration,you had a revenue of$8,475 on page <br /> nine (9). That is revenue brought in on that? <br /> Mr. O'Connor confirmed, That is revenue. <br /> Councilmember Scott followed up, And that is five dollars ($5). Were there any fines or fees <br /> associated with that beyond the five dollars ($5)? <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied,No, there were no fines or fees that were penalized to any of the landlords <br /> that registered in the first(0). And that is per owner and not per property. <br /> Councilmember Scott followed up, So that means 1,695 people registered? <br /> Mr. O'Connor replied, Yes, that is correct. <br /> Ms. Johns stated, I will go over the tickets first (0). These tickets include, on the left side <br /> (referencing a slide in the presentation), Code Enforcement and what would be, essentially, put <br /> through by the Parks Department and the NEAT Crew. And then on the right side is what Animal <br /> Control wrote. So on the left side you can see that we actually issued fewer tickets this year as well <br /> as a less dollar amount. The main reason for that,as Tracy alluded to earlier,was that we had fewer <br /> properties on continuous enforcement than we had before. A big portion of this is that we have <br /> fewer properties that have been on for repeated years. Once they get past that one (1) year mark <br /> the fee goes up to five hundred dollars ($500) or more. We saw seven hundred and four(704)less <br /> tickets issued for that five hundred dollar ($500) mark. On the Animal Control side, they have <br /> done an excellent job on increasing their tickets issued. The main one (1) they issue is Failure to <br /> License, followed by Failure to Vaccinate for Rabies. Theirs actually increased about three <br /> hundred and fifty-six percent(356%). That was really impressive to see. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld l South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 f574.235.9173I TTD574.235.5567Iwww.southbendin.gov <br /> 6 <br />
