CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Mr. Fahey stated, Consider everything wastewater unless otherwise stated. Councilmember Broden stated, So that is a look back to 2018? 2017? Mr. Fahey stated, It goes back to 2004. Councilmember Broden stated, But then what about just 2019 fiscal year. That would be helpful. Mr. Horvath stated, We have some sewer lining work and other projects. Committee Chair Teshka stated, Like she said,it would be helpful when talking to residents about this issue,to tell them where the money goes. Councilmember Broden stated, I think this meeting helps because it's an update, but I think the context that you provided, this is basically a request. And we're putting our best foot forward in terms of our request and providing the data, but there's also another level that this gets to possibly through the legal channels if we can't negotiate it. And I would assume that the environment has changed considerably at the EPA. Mr. Horvath stated, It feels like it has. I think some people are going to wait things out, stall as much as they can. Committee Chair Teshka stated, What I would like to do through this year,just to keep meeting at whatever interval makes sense,but I think we can do quick fifteen(15)minute updates during our regular Monday meetings. We'll get together on what interval makes sense after the meeting. We would like to know how your meeting went,what we can be doing to help,if we can apply pressure to our Congressional delegation,seeing what works best. To wrap up,we're all going to get a copy of this presentation from somewhere, and it is going to be on the website. Councilmember Broden asked, Maybe we could establish a folder on our website since it is an ongoing thing, people can actually get historical information if we could build in the links that you've shared before. Mr. Horvath stated, I think we should just put them where we've been putting all of them so they are not in two (2) different places. We have a CSO area and put every presentation on there and we'll just add it to that. If for some reason it has been taken down,we'll make sure it gets back up. Councilmember Broden stated, And our Committee Meetings could go there too, our meeting minutes. With no further business, Committee Chair Teshka adjourned the Utilities Committee meeting at 6:24 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Jake Teshka, Committee Chair EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend.Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f574.235.9173 TTD 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov 16
