0CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Mr. Dressel replied, It has. We did a study of other communities and I think we were trying to find <br /> a niche that we fit given that we're not going to consider the other kind of charges. It may seem <br /> high compared to communities that may be a little bit above our size, but it's more of a fixed <br /> number. Certainly, I think we find it appropriate with the kind of business that we're trying to do <br /> and the kind of work that we want to do with some of these things. So,it was the result of a process <br /> where we studied the fees in other communities. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott stated, Am I correct in saying that this ordinance just dictates the <br /> guidelines for any mobility company that would come in here? Because the fact is that there is <br /> much confusion with Lime Bike with people thinking that the City owns all the Lime Bikes and <br /> the City is responsible for all that, but these are for actual private companies to come in and set up <br /> and do business, correct? <br /> Mr. Dressel replied, You are correct Council President Scott. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott replied, Thank you. I want to make that absolutely clear to the public <br /> that we are not the owners of any bikes or any scooters and the City hasn't put out any tax dollars <br /> for any of that right? <br /> 1 Mr. Dressel replied, That is correct. <br /> Committeemember John Voorde stated, I just have one (1) comment. A lot of this as it evolves, <br /> both as the industry evolves and this ordinance and it's application, I would urge that our 311 <br /> Center be brought up to speed regularly and routinely on this kind of thing so they just don't <br /> discard calls that might come in about this for one (1), and then number two (2), I sure like the <br /> idea of maybe even a separate insert in the water works bills.That seems like an awfully easy way <br /> to get the word out, but you can consolidate that along with this other issue that we'll consider <br /> later tonight as a way to educate the public. <br /> Mr. Dressel replied, Yes, thank you. That's taken under advisement. I wholly agree. <br /> Committee Chair Jo M. Broden asked if there was anyone from the public wishing to speak in <br /> favor or opposition to Bill No. 49-19. Seeing none, the meeting was turned back to the Committee <br /> for a vote.Committee Chair Jo M.Broden made a motion to send Bill No.49-19 to the full Council <br /> with a favorable recommendation. The motion was seconded by Committeemember Karen White <br /> and carried with a voice vote of four(4) ayes. <br /> Re dui S fitted, <br /> Re <br /> .
