REPORTS FROM CITY OFFICES UPDATE: AMNESTY AND HOUSING – JORDAN GATHERS, DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF Jordan Gathers, Deputy Chief of Staff with offices on the 14th floor. Gathers presents an update on homelessness. CE (coordinated entry) List ensures that people will receive assistance on a timely manner and aids the most vulnerable population. St. Joseph County number of homeless looked as if it was decreasing but do to State errors compounded with pandemic caused for an actual increase. The Mayor’s Implementation Group convened from August to December 2020. There were various city leaders and members to implement strategies for homelessness. Department looked to break up group into subcommittees (Health and Sanitation, Weather Amnesty, and Permanent Supportive Housing). The department subcommittees look to address the homelessness in the city partnering with Transpo and shelter accommodations. The department created a homeless coordinator position for the city to address needs through facilitation and efforts. CDBG/ESG CV Funding includes Motels4Now, Emergency Shelters, Weather Amnesty, and Off- site Meals but not re-imbursement of COVID-19 costs. County ARP supported projects include exploration of a low-barrier shelter, behavior crisis center, youth services bureau and the Center REGULAR MEETING April 11, 2022 3 for the Homeless. The city is looking to see permanent supportive housing, continuation of Motes4Now partnership, continued exploration of a low-barrier shelter with county, finalize community education campaign, develop a multi-year services plan with city facilitators and reconvene implementation group to assist city facilitators. President Sharon McBride requests council for additional questions. Councilmember Karen White states the presentation was helpful in showing how to serve the most vulnerable in our community. Vice President Sheila Niezgodski asks what the primary use of the Epworth facility is. Jordan Gathers responds the center will be used for emergencies to utilize the facility. Councilmember Canneth Lee requests for more information on the low barrier center in Portage Manor. Jordan Gathers responds that no site has been determined with conversations around Portage Manor. Councilmember Eli Wax states the information is valuable. Wax asks how confident the decreasing PTI numbers over the years versus less attractive tracking are. Jordan Gathers replies there are errors in the State report. There are unaccounted homeless and will fluctuate historically. Councilmember Wax states anecdotally will there be a reduction in the homeless population. Jordan Gather states the 2020 number is the most accurate however the number will decrease based on the initiatives that have been created. Councilmember Wax asks what the city is doing to address homelessness outside of assisting. Jordan Gather responds that the city does not provide direct services but will continue to provide a social network for the most vulnerable population. Gathers states that the department has followed the recommendation of the Mayor’s Implementation Group and will continue to address the needs of homelessness. Councilmember Lori Hamann responds there has been three (3) studies to approach homelessness in South Bend; these studies show the need for a full-time homelessness coordinator position. Hamann asks why there is hesitation to fill the full-time position based on the recommendations under the leadership of the city. Jordan Gathers replies contracted positions are a “great start” to coordinate efforts; conversations with the county over homelessness will be had to urge placement of the full-time homelessness coordinator position. There is currently a countywide coordinator match in the budget. Councilmember Hamann responds with support for the Amnesty program, however not having a 12-month Amnesty program is not addressing concerns of this community and requests for the city to discuss this option. Hamman requests for the report from Anne Mannix. Jordan Gathers replies that the file is being reviewed and the Mayor’s Implementation Group is reconvening. Presentation is forthcoming. The department is committed to transparency and will share the report to the council. Councilmember Henry Davis Jr. inquires on how the prevention plan for homelessness will have success due to the unidentified number of homeless citizens. Davis notes that a prevention plan REGULAR MEETING April 11, 2022 4 was drafted several years ago through a resolution, but no action has occurred. Davis states the plan does not have an exact goal or date. He states the re-election will focus on the discrepancy in this plan. The goal should be to solve homelessness, not to win. Davis states the conversation around homelessness continues but the plan seems suspect. President McBride responds that she is on the homelessness task force and supports the report and the low barrier crisis center. McBride supports the efforts in moving forward with efforts supporting homelessness. Any further questions are to be directed to President Sharon McBride and/or Jordan Gathers. UPDATE: COMMUTERS TRUST TEAM – DENISE RIEDEL, DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY Denise Riedel, Chief Innovation Officer for the City of South Bend, offices located on the 12th floor states the program originated in 2018 over barriers to employment. Riedel stated the Bloomberg Philanthropies created the Mayor’s Challenge; to solve a systematic problem that would have transferable solutions to other cities. Innovation was brought on by addressing challenges in transportation across the city. Lynn Wetzel, Executive Director of Commuters Trust, 1165 Franklin St from the Technology Resource Center. Wetzel reports that transportation and accessible childcare are an obstacle in employment and the city has participated in the Bloomberg Mayor’s Challenge and won a one- million-dollar ($1,000,000.00) grant being one of the nine innovative winning ideas. Wetzel states the solution from the innovation idea was to test transportation as a benefit package totaling over ten thousand (10,000) rides, over six thousand (6,000) free bus rides, and over four thousand (4,000) free or discounted Lyft and Uber rides for the community. Commuters Trust hopes to continue to provide fully subsidized rides through the CNPP program, providing a gas card program for assistance with car repairs, as well as gas in addition to car loans through On the Road Lending. The goal of the employer sponsored program is to make it easy, increase productivity, and decrease absences and stress. The Workforce Development Program’s goal is to boost new hires and trainee numbers for partnered workforce development agencies. The goal for the Community Nonprofit Partner program is to increase self-sufficiency. Community Agencies are helping families settle in the community. Wetzel reports that Commuters Trust partnered with Notre Dame to study program impacts on absenteeism, childcare, transportation, and quality of life. The transportation Security Index promotes self-reporting questions every thirty (30) days. Councilmember Lori Hamann inquires on the connection between the bus passes provided in the homeless program and the rides provided by the program. Denise Riedel responds that she thinks this is a separate program but will confirm. Councilmember Hamann inquires about the study and if the results are being provided to Maycog and Transpo. Denise Riedel confirms that both entities are on the Commuters Trust board. Councilmember Canneth Lee supports the impact on the lives that have benefited from the program. Lee asks if there are plans for expansion of the program. Denise Riedel responds that Commuters Trust is transferring from a pilot philanthropic phase to an operational phase engaging with partners. Councilmember Lee supports the program’s benefits for the residents in the community. President Sharon McBride supports the program and the path to sustainability. Councilmember Troy Warner inquires of the overall benefit of the program and if it can expand to all employers. Lynn Wetzel states the cost is split between Commuters Trust and the employer as well as the resident paying a copay for the rides. Employers were offered an eight (8) week no cost trial to evaluate the program as well as Commuters Trust offering webinars. Wetzel urges residents to REGULAR MEETING April 11, 2022 5 reach out for program assistance. Most employers that participate in the program have converted to partners of Commuters Trust. Councilmember Warner supports the program. Vice President Sheila Niezgodski supports the benefit package program and inquires about the timeframe that will produce results (in a year or so). Denise Riedel responds to the timeframe being accurate. Councilmember Rachel Tomas Morgan supports the update of the presentation to the Council. Tomas Morgan inquires about South Bend being a medium sized city and being one of the few that participates in this program. Denise Riedel responds that South Bend is the only city doing this type of program. The board is committed to being open about the lessons learned as well as communication with other cities of the same size that have similar assets and challenges. Council Tomas Morgan supports the efforts of communication in the program. Tomas Morgan inquires about if Commuters Trust have identified with employers of any ongoing obstacles that they have to increase access within their clientele. Denise Riedel responds that when working with a transient population there are cases that residents may change their number. The program offers digital benefits however residents can struggle with technology. However, the program does offer a thirty-one (31) day bus pass that is easier to use along with fully subsidized Uber rides that operate on Sundays. Community partners collaborate with the residents to help sign up for the program as well as providing an SMS system that answers any questions or help the participants in need. Councilmember Karen White mentions the sustainability of the program. Councilmember White inquires while providing transportation, childcare has become an issue as well and asks and if there are conversations with childcare providers. Denise Riedel responds that conversations have existed but were not able to convert those providers into full-time programs; a few have enrolled in the no cost trial. Uber and Lyft have added stops to the ride to work to get children to childcare. President McBride entertains a motion to entertain to resolve to the Committee of the Whole.

Yolanda Young-Smith, Executive Director of the Human Rights Commission, 319 N. Niles Ave, South Bend, IN 46617. Aladean De Rose, City Attorney, offices located on the 12th floor of the County City Building. De Rose states that the ordinance requires all members of the Commission to be residents of the City of South Bend.

The residents of Mishawaka were looking for South Bend to support what was not happening in Mishawaka. Davis will support the amendment.

Councilmember Lee requests that the petitioner state their name and address and share key points before the council. Casey Gergely, Mayor Mueller’s chief of staff with offices on the 14th floor of this building. It is my honor to present Bill No. 18-22 to council tonight. This ordinance is requesting that we amend the South Bend Municipal Code to officially recognize Juneteenth as an official city holiday. This day is rich in history, and last year was declared a federal holiday by President Biden. We are hoping to follow in his footsteps and follow that precedent. The ordinance is requesting that we increase the number of city holidays from nine (9) to ten (10). If the council chooses to pass the REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 4 ordinance tonight, the next step is to present this to the board of Public Works, which will set the actual holiday with the intent to recognize Juneteenth as a city holiday. We will then follow up with Council with a resolution acknowledging the completion of the process and the hope is that this year Juneteenth will be recognized as an official holiday (this calendar year). Acknowledging the question that we got in committee about the potential budgetary impact of this ordinance and this charge and according to our estimates. Salaried workers there wouldn’t be a finance component but a slight production impact. As far as the financial component, we’re estimating the impact to be about fifteen to twenty thousand dollars ($15-20,000.00) which accounts for overtime and holiday pay. I will open to the council for questions. Councilmember Lee calls for Councilmembers’ questions for the petitioner. Councilmember Hamann inquiries about paid holiday for full time holiday hourly workers. Kacey Gergely, responded for hourly workers, if work on holidays is given, they are paid for the holiday and then time and half. I will confirm that. Councilmember Hamann inquires if they don’t work, it’s paid regular time as a holiday. Kacey Gergely states I believe so. Councilmember Rachel Tomas-Morgan follows up with asking if this is a paid holiday; how many holidays does the county employees have. Kacey Gergely responds that county currently has fourteen (14) paid holidays where the city has nine (9) paid holidays and this request is to increase that to ten (10). Councilmember Lee opens the floor to public portion; Clerk Jones anyone speaking in favor in Bill No. 18-22. Clerk Jones responds Latorya Green is wishing to speak in favor of Bill No. 18-22 making Juneteenth a holiday for city employees. Latorya Green, 1028 Ebeling Dr., South Bend, Indiana on behalf of the South Bend Chapter Indiana Black Expo and on behalf of our 80 plus members, we have celebrated Juneteenth annually for over twenty (20) plus years in the community. Celebrating not only the history of Juneteenth, but also the African American community. And so being able to have this holiday recognized on the federal level last year, it was truly an honor for us, especially to be able to get this final recognition. We are in favor of this being recognized as a holiday for city employees. One of the things that we did want to stress is that we encourage for it to not only be a day off, but a day on. To be able to volunteer in any local events that are taking place, something that we've had every year at LaSalle Park, but just a flow for it to be an opportunity for volunteerism. And like I said, not to have a day off, but actually a day on in the community. Clerk Jones responds with no one else expressing interest from the public. Councilmember Lee requests anyone in opposition of this bill. Public portion is now closed for Bill No. 18-22. Any Councilmembers wishing to speak? Councilmember White responds with supporting Ms. Latorya Greene comments and in support of Bill No. 18-22. This community for over twenty (20) plus years has had programs and activities for this holiday. I can recall all the work that to be done to recognize Dr. Martin Luther Kings Day as well. I would encourage all our citizens to partake in all the activities that will be held within our city. Time to recognize some past struggles but also time to recognize the progress that has been made. Councilmember Davis responds with I’m going to support but point to some inconsistencies. I never knew about Juneteenth. I went to the LaSalle Park and did not know of Juneteenth this is recent. I do want to point out that President Biden made this a federal holiday but there is a drawback that African Americans are still doing poorly in this country. African Americans have a high instance in every bad category that you can name. I want to point out what progress is and has been for us. Celebrating this being an official city holiday, the council passed a resolution for Indigenous People’s Day, we still have seen that happen. We’ve seen reports back from the EPA about Becks Lake in that area being contaminated, but not as contaminated but still bad with a REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 5 horrible history behind it. We’re talking about black people. It’s great to celebrate the end of slavery but it should be coupled and celebrated if we can see a brighter day within the African American community with affordable housing, better schools. A school being closed that is predominantly black on the west side of South Bend. The work ahead of us is not done. We are still fighting the same battles. Put a spotlight on things. If we are going to celebrate than let it be for the actual win of a better quality of life here in South Bend. We have the ability as elected official leaders of this city. Thank you for the bill but the number speaks for themselves. There were three (3) murders last week, all were black. The school in talks of being closed is a Black school. Anguish is usually colored in black. We can celebrate but we have a tremendous amount of work to do. President McBride speaks in support of the bill and emulates Latorya Greene’s comments as well. I’ve been a part of the activities for Juneteenth for over twenty (20) years and grew up at the Charles Black Center. I’ve been very active and familiar with the activities and church services out there as well as other activities. I’m excited about the mayor bringing this bill in front of us for acknowledging it as an official holiday. We have struggled for a long time and still have a lot of struggles. Any step that we have made, especially acknowledging that African American community and allowing us to know have it as a celebration, paid day off because I know for years, we’ve been taking it and eating a benefit time. We now have an opportunity to celebrate it and have it taken off without city employees having to use that day for their personal time to celebrate. Thank you for representing the mayor’s office and bringing this bill in front of us. Councilmember Lee states that I am grateful for this being a paid holiday for city employers. The county has fourteen (14) the city has ten (10). In 1863 Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves but wasn’t until June 1865 soldiers went on June 19 in Texas and declared twenty-five thousand (25,000) enslaved people freed that day. That is where the celebration is. South bend does a great job celebrating the history and the heritage. I am very much in support of us receiving this holiday. As Latorya Greene said, it’s not a day off, it's a day on. It’s a great way for everybody to engage in the conversation and look at where we’ve come from and where we need to go and work together so that we can continue to make this a better nation. I am very much in support of this. Councilmember Lee continues, I will now entertain a motion regarding to Bill No. 18-22. Councilmember White motions that Bill No. 18-22 be sent to full council with a favorable recommendation. Councilmember Henry seconded. Councilmember Lee responds with a motion and second. Clerk jones please roll call. Clerk Jones responds with nine (9) ayes. Councilmember Lee responds Bill No. 18-22 will be sent to the full council with a favorable recommendation. Councilmember Lee requests for a committee report from Building. 12-22 PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, TO VACATE THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED PROPERTY NORTH ALLEY BETWEEN NORTH MEADE ST AND NORTH KALEY ST FROM WEST KELLER ST TO MARQUETTE BLVD. Councilmember Lee requests a committee report from building. Clerk Jones states second reading of Bill N. 12-22. Committee Chair Niezgodski responds with the bill that was given to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation. REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 6 Councilmember Lee requests that the petitioner states their name and address and share key points before the council. Regina Preston, 838 Elmer St., South Bend, Indiana on behalf of the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association. We are requesting this alley vacation in order to build four (4) affordable housing units on Meade St. in our neighborhood. It’s an exciting project for us and we have been working on it for a couple of years. Looking forward to being able to bring this much needed affordable beautiful brand-new construction to our community and make sure it’s available to prevent displacement. We are looking to specifically identify those who can purchase it that are currently living in South Bend and maybe even currently living in our neighborhood, possibly as renters. We are requesting that the alley be vacated so that we can have a curb cut but the existing zoning doesn’t allow curb cuts with a through alley. Looking to have it vacated. What is considered an alley is not a throughway; it is overgrown. Property owners have put cement blocks and barricades. Bushes are growing where the cars would normally pass through. It has been maintained for years by all the surrounding property owners act as if it was already part our property. We are looking to make this official. Regina Preston continues with a key point; there is an easement there. Once residents move in there how do we ensure that they don’t fence it off and block access? There is an easement because their utility lines are back there. We are not allowed to completely block that off. That will be opened. Councilmember Lee requests Councilmembers’ questions for the petitioner. Councilmember Hamann asks what the parking situation for the people that live in this block between Keller and Meade and Marquette. Are they parking in the front, have they already put in the curb cuts for themselves with driveways? Regina Preston responds this is the this is an old, well-established block within the neighborhood and there is currently a stretch of habitat homes on the east side of the block. There are older homes on the west side of the block; the northern half and all of those at whatever point in time have curb cuts. People park in their own driveways. There is no parking on the street. They all have driveways. Councilmember Lee responds to the public portion anyone wishing to speak in favor of Bill No. 12-22. Clerk Jones responds Jordan Giger. Jordan Giger 424 S. Michigan St. Unit 660, South Bend, Indiana I’m speaking in favor of the ordinance. I have been following the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association and familiar with the project. They put a lot of work into it. I wanted to speak on the record in favor of it. Councilmember Lee anyone else that wants to speak in favor of the public hearing on Bill No. 12- 22 is now closed. Requests for statements from Council. Councilmember White responds with I wanted to thank the Far Northwest Association for their commitment and dedication to brining this project to the point we have before us. It has been a long time coming and the work that they put into that area of our communities is greatly needed and much appreciated. I want to thank them for staying focused and for their dedication. President McBride states I would like to say congratulations to the petitioner. This has been a long time coming and a great day. Congratulations for getting this far on the project. I can’t wait to see the end result. Councilmember Lee responds, I would like to say that before I became a City Councilmember, I was a member of the Far Northwest Neighborhood Association. They went through a lot of challenges and met at my church in order to get organized. They have been an agent of change for our neighborhood. This project is something that is going to be very impactful; four (4) units of affordable housing is a big deal. It has been a lot of work.

REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 9 Councilmember Lee made a motion to call for passage of Bill No. 22-17. Vice President Niezgodski seconded the motion. President McBride states it has been moved and seconded. Requests roll call from City Clerk Jones. Clerk Jones responds with roll call of nine (9) ayes. President McBride states, Bill No. 22-17 has been adopted. Councilmember Troy Warner made a motion to reject Bill No. 22-17. Councilmember Hamann, Seconded. President McBride requests that Clerk Jones call the roll point of order. Councilmember Warner requests to call for a discussion on the motion. President McBride opens the bill up for discussion. Councilmember Warner states the Housing Authority showed up and spoke against that bill. It was tabled two weeks ago and asked for a two-week extension to make modifications. Those modifications have not happened. We think that the Housing Authority is on board come in opposition to this bill again. This has not been done efficiently or effectively. We should just be done with the bill. Councilmember Hamann reiterates Council Warner. We had this discussion before on council. If we are bringing bills before one another, there’s a level of due diligence and conversation that needs to happen with entities that are named on the resolution. That level of due diligence didn’t occur with this particular bill. Councilmember Davis responds, this particular piece of legislation, this bill, or resolution was a continuation of what this Council had passed over a year ago. It wasn’t aimed to discredit any one entity, including the people at the Housing Authority. It was something to progress the discussion that all of you unanimously voted for. I don’t know where the change of understanding of what this is came in. This Council voted unanimously for a resolution to do work with the South Bend Housing Authority. The mayor still appoints the board over there; it is still city driven. The ordinance that was put forth back in the 1970’s came from this City Council. Your job is for one, to support. Two, the South Bend Housing Authority, the city of South Bend has already given the South Bend Housing Authority eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000.00) American Cares Act money to support the redevelopment. Maybe it is the presenter, maybe something personal is going on here. It is only to further along the discussion about the need for affordable housing. No one said anything when Mayor Pete came knocking down seven hundred (700) homes mostly in the second (2nd) district. No one said anything about what this is going to look like in the second (2nd) district when it’s redeveloped on Western Ave, if or when it does happen. Whatever you have with me personally, I’m sorry, I don’t understand it and I don’t like it. This is becoming part of the culture of this Council. We’re wrecking the opportunity to develop. Wrecking the opportunity to support this community properly or wrecking the opportunity of having great personal relationships and working relationships with each other. If I have offended any of you by trying to represent my district properly to bring something to the table that makes sense for this community, that’s my job. Councilmember Lee responds with the issue has been that when the organization comes and says that this bill is not going to help anything, we’ve already had something in place. We had neighborhood meeting and the city talked about their collaboration with the housing Authority. The two-week extension was given, and the work didn’t develop. We must pass good bills and that is the work that we must do. You must look at all the factors of the people that are involved in it. If something is going to work, that is when you get the votes. Do good bills so that it doesn’t have to be a mess on the floor. We are looking for a level of service to allow these bills to be good bills. If we have people who are affected the most say this is not going to help us or will hinder us, we must take that into consideration. REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 10 Councilmember Davis responds, this piece of legislation is not binding, and it is not going to impact anyone negatively. It is for the council to develop a larger discussion to progress the conversation that unanimously voted for well over a year ago. We are missing the point. Vice President Niezgodski responds this was brought to us about a year ago. We all do support affordable housing in our community, and we have had presentations by the administration about their work with the Housing Authority. Dr. Lamberg has been very detailed and clear about the process that they’re going to be undertaking. From discussions with the developers to discussions that they’re going to have with the residents about what they’re going to be doing about relocation. Once they get through the process so that is clearly understood by the residents, they will put together a number for what the building would look like, which the city South Bend and the administration will be considering the amount of money to support that initiative. It was clear t o me that it was basically telling the developer what they could and cold not do. Then give it two weeks and to come back before us again. We all acknowledge that we support affordable housing. This bill is not ready to come before us. If it is not ready to come before us, it needs to be voted down. President McBride, we have a motion on the floor to reject Bill No. 22-17. Clerk Jones roll call. Clerk Jones responds with seven (7) ayes. President McBride states that Bill No. 22-17 has been rejected. 22-19 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, IN APPROVING A RESOLUTION OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION TO AMMEND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE RIVER EAST DEVELOPMENT AREA AND APPROVE THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE RIVER EAST DEVELOPMENT AREA. President McBride states, we have a presenter. Time Corcoran, Director of Planning for the City of South Bend with offices on the 14th floor of this city building. We’re proposing to adjust the River East TIF district. The purpose of doing this is to adjust the TIF boundary. The city will be able to collect incremental tax increases from this area to help fund future priorities and planning initiatives within the River East TIF district. Priorities may include infrastructure, including streetscape projects, which are currently in the works for LaSalle St., Colfax and Mishawaka Ave as well as projects and infrastructure projects within the expanded area. We know it may be some need to look at Venice and Charles St. based on new developments happening there. The increased revenue can also go towards community assets of Sites Park, East Race, Riverfront parks and trails and zoo which are in the River East TIF district. Potential projects are currently none, and not in the process of going through any developers’ agreements. It does allow us to help incentivize new development projects in the River East TIF area and the expanded area. The map shows the blue area is within the TIF district in South Bend and the orange are in the upper right. The addition we are proposing is approximately forty-seven (47) acres and represents point 17 percent (.17%) of the total TIF district. The adjustment area which is bisected by State Road 23 is within the boundary of Ironwood Rd Edison, Twyckenham and Dunn Rd. The River East TIF is defined by the blue area east of the St. Joe River and the River West TIF to the west of Saint Joe River. The area is forty- seven (47) acres. There are eighty-eight (88) parcels and fifty-three (53) unique landowners. A question we had in our committee meeting was when the TIF district expiries in 2035 which is when most of the River East TIF will expire. A few parts in the River East Tiff will expire a few years later. The blue line represents the city boundary as well. Tim Corcoran continues, we know of a couple developments coming. They will be a part of a fiscal impact analysis that is being done by Baker Tilly. One of those developments is the Turtle Creek Redevelopment site which came to Council late last year for an exception for group housing. The Irish Quarter, which is currently under construction right now is a mixed-use development REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 11 project, primarily residential apartments with retail on the ground floor along Charles St. and State Road 23. There is also another commercial development to the east of the recent Drive N’ Shine development by Haji Tehrani. Part of it is a Quick Lube facility, the details of this development are still in the works. It has yet to go through plan review. This area has a lot of areas that were developed in the sixties (60’s), seventies (70’s) and eighties (80’s). There has been a lot of interest in this area over the last couple years (i.e., Mango Café site or the Irish Corridor as well as Mulligan’s Project). People will start to see and perceive this area in a different way and see it as vulnerable areas that they may want to look at redevelopment. Tim Corcoran continues with we had conversations with people regarding the campus court project which initially was going to be tied into the Turtle Creek project but is not now. It does show that there is potential for people to purchase the site. There isn’t an active development project that we know of for this site. I want to bring these ideas before Council. The commercial strip at the corner of Venice and South Bend Ave, the landowners have started to get interest in what they might be able to do with their property long term. This is about getting ahead of some of those projects. The Salvation Army, an older building, is coming to the end of its life span. The Ironwood circle commercial development has a lot of older buildings in it. Places like this, if you put a few properties together, you can start to see them becoming development sites. There is a large area of large lot single family housing. These are some of the properties that are over two acres. Put two or three of these together, you could potentially put together a multifamily apartment complex. This area could have a lot of potential for redevelopment. Together the orange and gray areas start to represent the lot of what could happen over time. The areas that we haven’t covered still has interest along State Road 23. There is a lot of interest in this part of the city. Tim Corcoran continues that each TIF district is a development plan. You have received the existing River East TIF development plan. With this adjustment, we will be AMENDING the River East Development plan in a few important ways. In 2019 we did a comprehensive update to every TIF district in the city. We redid every development plan, we adjusted the TIF boundaries in most of the TIFS in South Bend. Today we’re asking for a very minor adjustment to the River East. The TIF development plan is part of the update process. We will be updating the boundary, the legal description that defines that boundary and the property acquisition list that is associated with the existing development plan. We are in the process of doing a fiscal impact analysis that is being prepared by Baker Tilly. An issue for landowners that come up is why are their parcels or their properties is being added to the acquisition list. Does this mean the city wants to buy my property? The answer is no. We do not want to buy your property. Being on the acquisition list allows the city to negotiate with property owners in ways that make it easier for the both the city and the property to come to an agreement about the price of property. If there is a city project that may be required, something that might be like a streetscape project, a park project, a basically a public good type of project, and this allows the redevelopment Commission to negotiate in more of a market rate way. Otherwise, we are bound by the average of two appraisals for a property, that oftentimes comes in below what people think their properties valued at. It allows wiggle room in that negotiant space. Tim Corcoran continues we intend to do our two public meetings again to engage those fifty-three (53) property owners. We have two meetings set for May 17th and May 19th. We can answer questions about taxes, land acquisition and any other TIF related questions. We talk about what TIF is and how TIF is generated what is means for their property. We will do the public engagement in the weeks prior to the final vote at the Redevelopment Commission which would adopt the adjusted area and TIF development plans. To date, the Redevelopment Commission has recommended favorably for the declaratory resolution and the planned commission on the 18th. The public hearing notice will be published, these dates are subject to change. We are trying to head off the questions before the redevelopment commission meeting. We had the public information sessions even further ahead before. The time difference between the public information sessions and the redevelopment commission led to some confusion. We think this will allow people to be able to ask questions prior to the Redevelopment Commission and allow us to make sure that the meeting runs smoothly. We also have Emma from Baker Til ly who also may be able to answer some of your questions regarding the overlapping taxing districts and impacts. REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 12 Councilmember Hamann inquires about the fifty-three (53) unique properties owners; how many are residentials? Tim Corcoran responds very few. Councilmember Hamann asks if there is potential for property taxes to have people leave their homes. Tim Corcoran responds with being in the TIFF district does not affect one’s taxes. The development that comes is what may change the tax value. The developments are happening now without any assistance from the city or being within TIFF. The reason we are doing this is to capture that value so that we can use that incremental revenue to help with projects that may be associated with some of the developments that are happening anyway. Venice Street has a lot of issues without a sidewalk or curb down parts of it. The intersection of South Bend Ave and Charles St. is very wide, we want to narrow because The Irish Quarter Development plans on having a restaurant and a café. The incremental revenue helps up look at the infrastructure improvements. Add revenue to the entire River East TIFF area that we can use in other areas. Councilmember Hamann asks who makes decisions as to how this TIFF money is spent? Tim Corcoran responds, the Redevelopment Commission, part of the land use in place is what is legally able to be done right now. Rezoning in the future. The area in orange has interest. Adjusting the TIF allows us to capture the revenue to use in this area and rest of the River East TIF area. Councilmember Lee asks to explain what a tax increment financial district is for the public. Tim Corcoran responds when a TIF is overlaid across the part of the city, when the new development happens within the district, the incremental growth in taxes goes back to a fund. The taxes that are happening right now continue to go to the other taxing agents like the county, the school Corp, Transpo, and the library. When new development happens, the increment of taxes that are above today gets captured in a fund to allow us to invest in public improvements. In this case all the River East TIF district. Councilmember Lee states, if we don’t expand this and new development happens then we miss out on the opportunity to receive the revenue. The people who benefited from this already are the county, schools, library, Transpo. By us expanding, it is getting ahead of what’s getting ready to happen. If people develop in that area and the taxes go up, that money goes back to further development in that area. If we don’t do this now, we miss out on that opportunity of that incremental income. Tim Corcoran responds with we missed out on the newly generated tax revenue. We have used that revenue again for local improvements like Howard Park that helps pay the bond off for Howard Park. We have Site Park that will be starting construction towards the end of the year. Streetscape projects is typically how we use the majority of our TIF funds. Councilmember Lee states it is important for us to understand that because we get ahead of it, as the redevelopment happens, we got the opportunity to capture that revenue to make the area better. Councilmember Davis states the new dollar only stays in that area until the money in that Tiff District sets. The money won’t be shared with the rest of South Bend. We never miss out on the opportunity for anything, we just actually double up the redevelopment of that area. When we talk about Eddy Street Commons, and how the city invested close to three hundred million dollars in infrastructure dollars, that money never returned to the taxpayers and the citizens of that area stayed in that one area while the area continues to reproduce more dollars to redevelop more and more to provide great services to that area. The taxpayers from the West side of the city that help produce that is night and day. There is a disadvantage and there is also an advantage of a TIF district. We need to be clear that TIF districts don’t always pan out the way we desire them to do because somebody must make the initial investment for that to happen. If you make the initial investment for something to happen, you want something back. You don’t get anything back from that, it stays here. REGULAR MEETING April 25, 2022 13 Tim Corcoran responds the investment that the city has made in Eddy St. Commons and the TIF that is collected goes to pay back the bond that was issued for the parking garage. The development does pay for the bond. Councilmember Davis responds, the money stays there in the area. The money that was initially invested was in 2008. After the bond is paid for based up when the sunset clause is; it continues to stay there. We on the West Side or on the South Side or North Side do not get to share in the development dollar that has happened over there on the east side. I’m not saying it’s wrong or it’s right. I’m just explaining the TIF district. Tim Corcoran responds, the River West TIF does cover much of the west side downtown. Every new development in downtown contributes to the River West TIF. President McBride opens the discussion up to the public wishing to speak in favor of resolution Bill No. 22-19. Clerk Jones states no one is wishing to speak in favor of Bill No. 22-19.

President McBride responds with no opposition, motions carried. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Councilmember Hamann responds with a brief follow-up question in regard to the affordable housing meeting under Residential Neighborhoods. I’ve been in conversation with the County Auditors regarding tax sale concerns. There was a limited ordinance passed down state which only allows Marion County to give priority to local bidders for property purchasing. No other county in the state is allowed to make such restrictions. The option would be for us to find a way to convince the powers that be in the county to take tax sales offline. That’s going to require getting the approval of the Treasurer, the Council and the Commissioners. Councilmember Hamann requests an update under the Education Committee through the South Bend Community Schools and the Common Council; the resolut ion was passed a long time ago. Also requests an update on the selection of the Citizen Review Board members. President McBride states I will make sure Councilmember Warner gets the requests for the school board education. He is sending out an email about the update on the CRB. I concluded the first round of interviews last week and the clerk’s office is finishing up putting all the demographics together. We will have an executive session in the public comments according to the timeline. We will have a public meeting about the demographics outline in the ordinance. NEW BUSINESS President McBride opens for new business.

President McBride states reminder of the Mayor State of the City tomorrow at 6:00 at the main library downtown. Councilmember Davis states that he went to Cultivate Food Rescue, great facility and great services and needed given the amount of poverty in the city. I got an invitation to volunteer at some point along with the council. This will be a great exercise. Much of the food go to surrounding areas. It is a necessary job. They do a lot of volunteer hours. Name is Shelly Al Wine if anyone is interested in volunteering. Councilmember Davis continues, the resolution on the Housing Authority, Dr. Lamberg stated that the property is being worked on by McCormick and Barren. There is no record of a contract between the Housing Authority and the developers which was said to be doing redevelopment efforts for the property on Western Ave. President McBride ask Parliamentarian if discussion can still happen over the Housing Authority since it was talked about as a bill earlier. Bill Palmer states it is not unfinished, it is finished business. It is furthering discussion. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR President McBride requests to the privilege of the floor. Clerk Jones states, Jordan Giger state your name and address. Jordan Giger 424 S. Michigan St. unit 660 South Bend, Indiana.

JONES CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, CALLING FOR COMMON SENSE GUN REFORM IN FEDERAL AND STATE JURISDICTIONS WHEREAS, one definition of "mass shooting" is a shooting in which four or more people are shot in the same place; and WHEREAS, as of 12:00 p.m. EST on June 7, 2022, there have been at least 246 mass shootings in the United States this year, including twenty-seven mass school shootings; and WHEREAS, in 2021, there were 692 mass shootings: and WHEREAS, these numbers represent more than one mass shooting each and every day; and WHEREAS, between Friday evening, June 3, 2022, and Sunday evening June 5, 2022, there were at least thirteen mass shootings in the United States leaving more than a dozen dead and seventy wounded; and WHEREAS, overall gun violence has killed at least 18,823 people in the United States this year; and WHEREAS, gun violence does not discriminate, it affects all races, colors, religions, creeds, sexual orientations and socioeconomic classes, the only common factor of the victims is death and injury; and WHEREAS, the statistics well known, they are similar to the statistics from 2021, and 2022; and WHEREAS, polls show that an overwhelming number of Americans are in favor of common-sense gun control measures; and WHEREAS, federal and state legislators continue to fail to pass any meaningful gun reform measures and, in some cases, have actually made access to guns, including assault style weapons, easier; and WHEREAS, among the proposals being considered at the federal level is the strengthening of background checks, including such checks at gun shows and for online sales, enactment of storage and red flag laws and the repeal of the immunity that protect gun manufacturers from liability; and WHEREAS, another proposal would be the reinstatement of the ban on assault weapons, like AR -15s, and the ban on high-capacity magazines, similar to the federal ban passed by Congress in 1993 and signed into law in 1994, but which was allowed to expire on September 13, 2004; and WHEREAS, if such bans are not reinstated, the minimum age for purchase of such weapons should be raised from 18 years to 21 years; and WHEREAS, mental health issues also play a large part in mass shootings and other gun violence and more focus must be devoted to addressing these issues, including additional funding for more school counselors and other mental health services for students and teachers.

DAWN M. JONES CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN CITY OF SOUTH BEND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS June 8, 2022 Sharon McBride President, Common Council of the City of South Bend 227 W. Jefferson Blvd.; Ste 4005 South Bend, [N 46601 Dear President McBride, I am pleased to submit to you amendments to various sections of Chapter 17, Article 10 of the South Bend Municipal Code that address System Development Charges (SDC). These charges cover the cost of connecting new customers to the City's water or sewer utility service and are also applied to existing customers for their new uses that would materially change the demands on the City's water and/or sewer utility. Changes proposed in the attached ordinance are part of Mayor Mueller's strategy to ease the ability of property owners to build residential infill developments in neighborhoods. The changes in the ordinance include, among others, the waiver of SDC for developments of five or fewer residential units. For residential infill developments of five or more units constructed by non -for -profits or supported by low-income housing tax credits, the SDC will also be waived. I will be presenting this ordinance to the Council at its Committees and regular meetings and will be happy to respond to questions at that time. Sincerely, Eric Horvath Director, Public Works EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITYINNOVATION INCLUSION' EMPOWERMENT 1316 County -City Building 227W Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, Indiana 46601 p574.235.9251 f574.235.9171 www.southbendin.gov Bill No. 29-22 ORDINANCE NO. Filed in Clerk's Office JUN 0 8 2022 DAWN M. JONES CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES WITHIN VARIOUS SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE 10 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT The City of South Bend owns and operates a water and sewer utility, and on October 24, 2016, this Council adopted Ordinance No. 10440-16 which repealed and replaced the previously imposed compact fees with system development charges to cover some of the City's cost of connecting new customers to the City's water or sewer utility service. These charges also applied to existing customers for their new uses that would materially change the demands on the City's water and/or sewer utility. The system development charges for both water and sewer service adopted in 2016 were computed using what is known as the "Equity Method." Among other things, they appropriately exempted connections to new structures which replaced an older structure of similar use located on the same property. These changes are part of Mayor Mueller's strategy to ease the ability of property owners to build residential infill developments and in neighborhoods. Among the changes included in this ordinance are the waiver of SDC for developments of five or fewer residential units. For residential infill development of five or more units constructed by non -for -profits or supported by low-income housing tax credits, the SDC will also be waived. Amending Sections of the South Bend Municipal Code at Chapter 17, Article 10 as set out in this ordinance is in the best interest of the City and its residents.
