0CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK online website works really well because I know it creates workorders directly to you guys. So, we have to preach that as well. Councilmember Broden stated, I have three (3) quick ones. Back to the East Bank trail, there has been a lot of tree clearing on Hillside. So,if you're up at Niles Avenue, and then we have a wooden trail that ramps up to Niles Street, and then, of course, the asphalt trail. I don't know if you guys are responsible for that clearing but it appears that it goes all the way down to Angela Boulevard. But, since that is bank area, and it's actually a rather steep slope, I'm just wondering about plans to replant vegetation there for stabilizing that slope. I've had some concerns and have had some constituents ask about that. And then similarly, and I think this is you guys, along the railroad tracks behind the Armory by the YMCA, I'll get you a map, but there is an area, and it is kind of similar,the same thing is going on, I think on both sides of an elevated railroad track. That crosses Twyckenham Avenue. But when you are in the neighborhood and you pass that, either way, you get the same denuding on both sides of that. Again, it is a sharp slope. It could be railroad work, but I thought maybe you all would be responsible for that in looking at the overall lines. And then my last question is with regard to off of Portage Avenue, Elwood, are there houses adjacent to that to the north? Councilmember Scott replied, There's a lot. There is a backyard that comes up to it. Councilmember Broden followed up, I'm just questioning the adjacency of that house and what type of buffering or muffling could be provided to those residents. Thank you. Committee Chair Teshka stated,And Maggie,if you want to email me as you gather these answers, I'll get them back to Council. One(1) last thing, if you would, we talked a lot about I&M's Green Energy Initiatives, could you send those updates to Council? Ms. Beggs replied, I can send you that information. With no further business, Committee Chair Teshka adjourned the Utilities Committee meeting at 4:35 p.m. R ectfully ubmitted, leop ake Teshka, Committee Chair EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 227W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov 4
