REGULAR MEETING JULY 8, 2002 <br />Mr. Gary Gilot, Director, Department of Public Works, 13th Floor, County -City Building, South <br />Bend, Indiana, informed the Council that the Fredrickson Park site is currently a community liability <br />with known environmental contamination. It was originally proposed to transform it over time but <br />due to the amount of methane that is being generated if it is not capped all at once and the methane <br />controlled, it could be pushed out to the houses in the surrounding area. Therefore, it is essential to <br />do it all at once. The revolving loan fund will allow the City to complete the work all at once and <br />spread the payments out over time. Mr. Gilot advised that the plans and specifications for the <br />necessary remediation are prepared and ready to go once funding is secured. He also noted that <br />Councilmember King has been in a leadership role in bringing in partners like the school corporation <br />and Notre Dame to make this project a community asset as an environmental education park. <br />A Public Hearing was held on the Resolution at this time. <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to this <br />Resolution, Councilmember King made a motion to adopt this Resolution.
