0CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> aware and have worked with the City. I believe given the options, this is an acceptable place. I <br /> support this so that this may happen. <br /> Committee Chair Davis asked, What happens to issues of weekends and holidays? <br /> Mr. Vanderveen replied, We are open every day. <br /> Committee Chair Davis replied, No, no, no, no. Are they required to leave at 8:00 a.m. on those <br /> days too? Or, what? <br /> Mr. Vanderveen replied, Yes. So, there are some challenges, certainly, for some folks, we know <br /> that. We try to, if it is extremely cold out, we try to open space up at Hope Ministries and The <br /> Center for the Homeless and different agencies. Of course there is an emergency plan in place for <br /> warming centers in extreme cold but, again, Weather Amnesty is a life-safety service. It is not a <br /> comfort service. So some folks end up doing a lot of walking around the street during the day. It <br /> is not what we want. <br /> Committee Chair Davis stated, But it is better than nothing, I understand your point. I appreciate <br /> it. I'm at peace. <br /> Committeemember Broden asked, So if there is a weather emergency announcement in the City <br /> of South Bend, can this space be utilized for that entire day? <br /> Mr. Vanderveen replied,Other than us having to pay additional staff to be there, there is no reason <br /> other than that for it not being used. Our default is our waiting area in our kitchen during the day <br /> because folks typically are there anyways and so that would make more sense than having <br /> additional staff over at this new location. That is what we have done in the past. <br /> Committee Chair Davis stated, That is good to know. <br /> Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 53-18 to the full Council with a favorable <br /> recommendation. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote <br /> of five (5) ayes. <br /> With no further business, Committee Chair Davis adjourned the Zoning and Annexation <br /> Committee meeting at 5:36 p.m. <br /> Re ml <br /> ' ly Submitted, <br /> 0 *f-: i vis, Commit e- Chair <br /> I <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 Ti-D 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 14 <br />
