<br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
<br />Mrs. Janet Allen, 125 West Marion Street, expressed her feelings to the Council that the privilege
<br />of the floor should be moved up on the agenda so that the citizens could speak if they desired.
<br />She indicated that it was not fair to the citizens to let them speak last when, at meetings such
<br />as this one, time get so late. Council President Nemeth indicated that this should not prohibit
<br />the citizens from writing or calling their respective councilman if they so desired. Councilman
<br />Horvath indicated that it was only fair to take care of the department heads also. He indicated
<br />that it was something that the Council allowed the citizens to do, and he mentioned that he had
<br />seen the privilege of the floor go on quite long. Mrs. Allen felt that it could be controlled.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski suggested that perhaps the Council limit the time for the citizens to speak.
<br />Councilman Taylor indicated that on more than one occasion, the Council has had public hearings on
<br />ordinances that were quite important that had taken a long time and there was no time for the
<br />citizens to speak. Mrs. Allen felt that the Council should move up the privilege of the floor and
<br />allow a specific time for the citizens to speak.
<br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS
<br />Council President Nemeth indicated that an ordinance amending the zoning ordinance of the City of
<br />South Bend, which was referred to the Area Plan Commission on December 4, 1972, should be stricken
<br />from the record. Councilman Taylor made a motion that the ordinance be stricken, seconded by
<br />Councilman Kopczynski. The motion carried.
