CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committeemember John Voorde stated, That Emergency Response is something the Mayor touched on earlier this afternoon and he was assuring us that we can't just think it's a County thing. We need to integrate City and County services to make sure it's all getting done. I like the idea of building up as much information. A lot of these things don't have easy answers but the more we know the better off we'll be when decision time comes because there is going to be so much transition as we put together the budget. There is going to be a significant number of new Council Members and a new Administration. Councilmember Sharon L. McBride stated, I went to Mom's Demand Action last week in Indianapolis and met with some of our legislators. Actually, I was fortunate to see both Legislator Bauer and Dvorak and also Senator Neizgodski came out of a meeting to speak on a new proposed House Bill on gun safety. He was in the middle of a finance meeting and to his surprise it came to the floor about teachers being armed. I wanted to pass that information onto you all. I told him I would get that information back to you. Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston arrived at the meeting at 4:22 p.m. Councilmember Jake Teshka stated,Just one(1)more thing. I know we had dealt with the Oxford House situation.Again,there were some statements made during that meeting and they are seeking to place up to eight (8) houses in South Bend. So, if Health and Public Safety has the capacity to engage them, I would appreciate that. If we can do anything to be a little more proactive on that front, we should.
