<br />COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE September 22, 1969
<br />ORDINANCE (Linden Annexation Cont'd.)
<br />Councilman Allen objected to the.,ordinance being brought out of the Annexation Committee and
<br />set for public hearing on the same night. Councilman Laven announced the procedure was not
<br />improper and was advised as such by the City Attorney.
<br />Attorney John Humphreys spoke in behalf of "four or five hundred" concerned people he claimed.
<br />He said these were people who lived in the proposed annexed area and around the proposed area
<br />to be annexed. He explained to the Council that the people were not necessarily against annexation
<br />but that they had many questions they wanted answered before annexation was done. Some questions
<br />were "Who initiated this petition? What is the purpose of annexing this area? Is it proposed
<br />that this area is to have Turnkey housing built on it ?" City Attorney Crumpacker stated there
<br />was a separate petition to annex a smaller part of this area for public housing, however, this
<br />Ordinance was introduced before that was brought in. In reply to Mr. Humphreys inquiry as to
<br />whether or not a new school would be built in this area, Mr. Crumpacker said that annexing
<br />will not affect school facilities because the South Bend School Corporation already servesthe
<br />area.
<br />Councilman Allen explained that the City has a long- range, orderly annexation plan to expand the
<br />city boundaries to keep the city from being choked off.
<br />Citizens speaking against the proposed annexation were Mr. Steve Bernath, 2102 Prairie Avenue;
<br />Rev. Thomas Doriot, pastor of St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 58700 Locust Rd.; Robert
<br />Hostetter, 206 Jennings Avenue; Roman Kowalski, Birchwood St., South Bend, Indiana; UissAgnes
<br />Rupel, 211 W. Navarre St., South Bend.
<br />Councilman Wise made a motion that the public hearing be set over at a later date. Councilman
<br />Zielinski seconded the motion. Councilman Wise withdrew his motion.
<br />Councilman Szymkowiak said he favored proper annexation for industrial purposes and low- income
<br />housing ought to be built on tax delinquent scattered lots in the City.
<br />Councilman Laven interrupted the meeting to introduce a group of foreign exchange students who
<br />were living in the city with South Bend families. Mrs-Earl Redden explained the purpose of their
<br />visit to our City. Councilman Laven presented each student with a tie clasp in the form of a key
<br />to the City of South Bend as a gift from the City of South Bend.
<br />Councilman Laven made a motion that the Ordinance go to the Council as favorable. Councilman
<br />Reinke seconded the motion. Motion defeated. 6 nays, (Councilmen Allen, Palmer, Wise, Zielinski,
<br />Craven, Szymkowiak) 3 ayes, (Councilmen Laven, Reinke and Grounds)
<br />ORDINANCE
<br />AN ORDINANCE SUPPLEMENTING CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE III,
<br />DIVISION 2, SECTION 25 - 60, ORDINANCES NO. 3879,
<br />4289, AND 4494, OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY
<br />OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, PROVIDING CHARGES FOR
<br />PARKING METER BAGS,
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above Ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. City Attorney Crumpacker explained
<br />that the Ordinance was specifically for the rates and procedures for'bagging of meters, during
<br />periods of construction. Councilman Allen recommended that Paragraph #7 be deleted. Miss
<br />Virginia Guthrie, South Bend Civic Planning Executive Secretary, claimed the Ordinance gives the
<br />big contractors a break and the little contractors were paying the biggest charges. Councilman
<br />Wise asked if other cities have similar Ordinances. Mr. Alvin Reeder, Parking Meter Supt. said
<br />larger cities have Ordinances providing for bagging of meters and they are enforced. Councilman
<br />Szymkowiak made a motion that the Ordinance go to the Council as favorable but withdrew his
<br />motion. With the assistance of the City Attorney, Councilman Allen proposed a motion that the
<br />ordinance be amended as follows:
<br />Paragraph (2) be changed from Eight ($8.00) dollars to Five ($5.00) dollars
<br />Paragraph (7) be deleted.
