REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 26, 2001 <br />MUNICIPAL CODE TO REVISE PROVISIONS FOR THE <br />SCHEDULING OF LICENSE RENEWALS AND FOR THE <br />LICENSING OF RUBBISH AND GARBAGE REMOVAL <br />VEHICLES <br />Councilmember Ujdak announced that the petitioner has asked that this bill be continued until the <br />December 10, 2001 meeting of the Council. Therefore, Councilmember Coleman made a motion <br />to continue this bill until December 10, 2001. Councilmember Varner seconded the motion which <br />carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />BILL NO. 108 -01 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL OF THE COMMON <br />COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, <br />AMENDING CHAPTER 13 OF THE SOUTH BEND <br />MUNICIPAL CODE BY THE ADDITION OF NEW <br />ARTICLE 2 ENTITLED PANHANDLING AND <br />SOLICITATION REGULATIONS <br />Councilmember Ujdak reported that the Health and Public Safety Committee and the Residential <br />Neighborhoods Committee jointly met on this bill and sends it to the Council with a favorable <br />recommendation. <br />Councilmember Coleman made a motion to accept the substitute version of this bill. <br />Councilmember Aranowski seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />Councilmember Karl King, 4t' District, Room 455 County -City Building, South Bend, Indiana, made <br />the presentation for this bill. <br />Councilmember King advised that he and Councilmember Pfeifer j ointly introduced substitute bill <br />No. 108 -01 which would amend Chapter 13 of the South Bend Municipal Code by adding a new <br />Article 2 that would be entitled "Panhandling and Solicitation Regulations." He advised that they <br />propose this ordinance because of numerous complaints and growing concerns for the safety, <br />protection and sense of security of people who use public forums arising from ongoing <br />confrontations between panhandlers and citizens of the City. For example, in the course of their <br />participation in the South Bend Downtown Partnership, they have been hearing for many months <br />of a growing number of complaints about panhandlers operating in the downtown. The proposed <br />ordinance would first prohibit panhandling in South Bend's Central Business and Entertainment <br />Area. This area is part of the City in which great amounts of public and private effort and moneys <br />have been invested in redeveloping properties to create a Business and Entertainment District. In <br />the past twenty (20) years, investments totaling $436 million ($295 million in private and $141 <br />million of public) have been made in new business, entertainment and residential projects in the <br />South Bend Central Development Area. <br />Councilmember King also advised that the City government has especially emphasized the <br />development of entertainment venues and events that are intended to attract both local citizens and <br />out -of -town visitors into the area by supporting the Century Center, the College Football Hall of <br />Fame, the Coveleski Stadium, East Race Waterway, the Morris Performing Arts Center, the soon <br />to be renovated Palais Royale, the South Bend Regional Museum of Art, the Studebaker National <br />Museum, Seitz Park, Howard Park, and special events such as the Ethnic Festival, outdoor concerts, <br />and many other events involving citizens in the central area. Also, the City and the South Bend <br />Downtown Partnership are currently working with the South Bend Civic Theater on the possibility <br />of a new location for that organization on the site of the former Avon Theater in the 300 block of <br />South Michigan Street. Doing all of these things at the same time that other uses including office <br />users have rediscovered South Bend's downtown, has been part of the City's concerted effort toward <br />establishing our downtown, once again, as the center of St. Joseph County and a regional center for <br />-3- <br />
