CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK are dealing with weather amnesty issues. So, I would like for our attorney to come up with the wording that is being suggesting to this Council to add along with this and we can proceed. Bob Palmer, Council Attorney, stated, Because of the tension between making the building look more presentable, yet maintaining the most possible funding for providing for the homeless, we had to have something that did not require the City to invest in an expensive replacement, but yet try to do something to make it look more presentable. The language that we came up with is at the end of section four (4), take out the period and add the following language; And with the understanding that the City will vigorously pursue reasonable options for façade improvements to this building. Pam Meyer, Director of the Department of Neighborhood Development for the City of South Bend, with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City building stated, We will be making the necessary changes needed to improve the façade of the building.Also, I'd like to say that the sheets and the blankets and the other things in front of the windows of the building are going to be removed and replaced with appropriate window treatments. Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked, Could someone please address the changes to the commitment number four (4)just for clarity and enforcement where we were going to define the wording, and staff? Mr. Wyatt replied, So, for the record, we will be adding this line to that, which refers to the Building Department and staff so that they will be able to enforce this. Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked,And the Administrator too? From the South Bend Plan once that takes effect, right? And that's on your end, right? To change that commitment? Mr. Wyatt replied, Yes, I will change that before it gets to the Board.
