REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 10, 2012 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />She stated the door opened, a manager came at her with a shovel. She stated that they made it <br />impossible for her to even get inside her job to punch in on the time clock because of the amount <br />of snow and water. It would take ski boots or waders to get in there. She stated she was put on a <br />month and half to two month’s administrative leave after she reported what was going on with <br />her. She stated that nothing has happened to those people who were responsible for this. When <br />she returned back to work she was put right back into that same environment where this <br />continued to happen. She stated that one man retired even after his retirement he was allowed to <br />come back into the building and do the same things over and over again. She stated that after a <br />while she could not take it anymore and that was when she decided to leave. <br /> <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM MS. JERRI BRUNLEY REGARDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT <br />THE SOUTH BEND HOUSING AUTHORITY <br />Ms. Brunley, 1324 E. Dubail Street, South Bend, Indiana, stated that she came in one day from <br />lunch and as soon as she walked in the door a man grabbed her chest, one of the workers and <br />started shaking her and saying provocative and nasty things to her. She stated that he continued <br />to shake her, a supervisor walked by and she told the supervisor to tell this man to leave her <br />alone and the supervisor said to leave that girl alone and just kept on walking. After a while he <br />let her go and she slumped back into her seat. She stated that she went in the back to swipe out <br />and to introduce herself to the new supervisor who started that day, and went back there to shake <br />his hand and the guy was back there and he grabbed her again and started shaking her. She <br />stated that she repeatedly asked him to let her go and to leave her alone. Nobody said a word to <br />her or the guy or anybody. She stated that she walked out getting ready to leave and go back to <br />her jobsite and he was outside, when she went outside he offered her money. She stated that she <br />filed charges at the Human Rights Commission and gave her statement on what had happened <br />and she stated that she never heard from them again. She stated that she has not received a letter <br />or any contact from the Human Rights Commission on the status of her claim. She stated that <br />she went back to the Human Rights Commission Office to check on the status of her claim and <br />was told that her case has been closed. She questioned who has the authority to do that, she <br />reiterated that she did not receive a letter or a phone call, it seems like everything was just wiped <br />away, and nobody seemed to care about it. She stated this should not happen to anyone, no one <br />should have to go to work and be harassed like she was, touched inappropriately; there are <br />policies in place for that behavior. She stated that a week ago we just had a meeting on sexual <br />harassment. She stated that she had to quit because she just couldn’t work there while he was <br />there. She stated that she was forced to quit because no one should have to go to work to be <br />picked on, said nasty things to, or be laughed at. She stated that she was expected to come back <br />and work with him after that. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM MS. CARI GREEN REGARDING 911 DISPATCHER SALARIES <br />Ms. Green, 1228 Farmcrest, South Bend, Indiana, advised that she would like for the Council to <br />take into consideration the wage disparity between the new 311 operators who will be making <br />between $37,000.00 - $40,000 and the 911 Dispatchers who make between $28,000.00 - <br />$35,000.00. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM MS. BILLIE CROYMANS REGARDING 911 DISPATCHER <br />SALARIES <br />Ms. Croymans stated that there is a great difference in pay for the 311 Operators versus the 911 <br />Dispatchers. She commented on the degree of calls, 311 will be for information regarding where <br />to pay your tax or water bills versus 911 call for life and death emergencies. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM MR. JESSE DAVIS REGARDING THE COMMUNICATIONS <br />DIRECTOR <br />Mr. Jesse Davis, P. O. Box 10205, South Bend, Indiana, questioned the rumor that the Mayor’s <br />Communication Director, Debra Johnson was recently terminated. He asked the Council to find <br />out if she left on her own terms or let go. <br /> <br />COMMENTS FROM REV. GREG BROWN REGARDING WAL-MART SELLING GUNS <br />Mr. Greg Brown, 1238 Diamond, South Bend, Indiana, advised that Wal-Mart is still selling <br />guns. He asked the Council to investigate. <br /> <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br /> <br />
