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 resolution 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.
