CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> more than just facilities. I mean that is one (1) of the possibilities but I think one (1) of our <br /> outcomes, maybe a more inclusive term would be services, in my opinion. <br /> Councilmember Davis interjected, I would rather that, too. I'm ok. <br /> Committee Chair Broden followed up, And if you continue in that same sentence, I think we need <br /> to strike out that period after for homeless populations and maybe put a comma. <br /> Councilmember Davis interjected, I see. <br /> Committee Chair Broden continued, And then my last thoughts, I just want to make sure that as a <br /> Committee, first (1st), as a Council and then with the Administration that we all feel comfortable <br /> having looked at this document and had a chance to amend it. <br /> Councilmember Davis stated, I see the issue of services as a particular agreement because it is <br /> more than just funding a place. The comma is corrected. The only issue that we would have, if <br /> there are any suggestions I have, does anybody have suggestions other than October 1? <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott stated, For some reason when all this was going, I had the idea of <br /> August in my head. One (1) of the things we thought about, and it came up here, was actually <br /> having a location. I know Mr. Matthews stepped up to the plate but there were concerns with that. <br /> One (1) thing I stated during comments was I want it close to services but it might not be in the <br /> same location. Who knows with the transition of the trailers and that whole housing issue, it could <br /> be somewhere else. There was a lot of conversation, especially in Councilmember McBride's <br /> neighborhood about where this was going to be located. Those meetings were in September and I <br /> think that kind of pushed the wall, too. I'm thinking August would be a better date. And honestly, <br /> I think it's good to have people starting awareness when it is still warmer. <br /> Committeemember John Voorde stated, I would make that motion. <br /> Councilmember Sharon L.McBride asked,Historically,despite the winter starting earlier,weather <br /> amnesty opened December 1 instead of November 1, correct? Was it always November 1? I <br /> thought it was December 1 but I thought due to the strange weather,the last year or two(2)it went <br /> to November 1. I just wanted to make sure. I believe that was one(1)of the concerns or comments <br /> that I had. I think working and partnering with the Administration is great but also I didn't know <br /> the knowledge until I started having these meetings. I heard a lot of the negative feedback which <br /> we should definitely do something about. Of course. But I just wanted to make sure. I thought it <br /> began December 1 but it moved up that last year. <br /> Councilmember Davis interjected,My issue is that the last couple of years,we have said we would <br /> target people in the community. <br /> Councilmember McBride followed up, No, I'm wholeheartedly for it. I just wanted to make sure <br /> because, like I said, people need to have the right information out. Some people I know, and even <br /> my neighborhood, they have said it started December 1'so I guess just for clarification. I'm down <br /> with November 1St,but I just wanted to make sure, for the record,that I believe it started December <br /> 1St but because of the unusual weather, it was pushed up, which I'm totally in agreement with, but <br /> I wanted to follow up with that. <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 TTD 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov <br /> 3 <br />
