REGULAR MEETING JULY 28, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />equipment and between $50,000 and $150,000 for information technology equipment. It <br />is estimated that the project, by itself, will not create additional full-time and part-time <br />permanent jobs within the first year of the project, but will enable Stanz to maintain 162 <br />existing permanent full-time jobs and 9 existing permanent part-time jobs with an annual <br />payroll of $7,251,439, including existing permanent full-time minority employment of 12 <br />positions. <br /> <br />A Public Hearing was held on the Resolution at this time. <br /> <br />The following individuals spoke in favor of this bill. <br /> <br />Mr. Jerry Niezgodski, 2930 Bonds Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, stated that sometime <br />last year there was a meeting with the neighbors and members of the Lincolnway West <br />Gateway Association, which he is the Chairperson. He stated that Councilmember’s <br />Dieter and Rouse were in attendance. At that meeting the association agreed to support <br />Stanz efforts to expand in the area adjacent to the neighborhood association. Basically, <br />they needed some variances so that they could build and everyone worked together to get <br />a win/win situation out of this project and come to a good conclusion. He stated that <br />Stanz has worked well with the neighbors, they thought about the neighbors first, and <br />reached out. He noted that you don’t always get that kind of cooperation from <br />company’s these days. Mr. Niezgodski urged the Council for their favorable <br />consideration. <br /> <br />There was no one else present wishing to speak in favor of this bill and there was no one <br />present wishing to speak in opposition to the bill. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dieter made a motion to adopt this Resolution. Councilmember White <br />seconded the motion and the Resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine (9) ayes. <br /> <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. 3887-08 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL <br /> OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, <br /> DIRECTING A PUBLIC QUESTION ON <br /> WITHDRAWAL FROM IURC JURISDICTION <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of South Bend owns and operates a water utility; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, this Council has determined that it would be in the best interests of <br />the City and its citizens for the City’s water utility to be removed from the jurisdiction of <br />the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) so that the citizens of South <br />Bend will have more direct control of the utility’s rates; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, pursuant to Ind. Code §8-1.5-3-9, a municipal legislative body that <br />wishes to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission <br />may submit such withdrawal as a public question to the registered voters of the <br />municipality. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF <br />THE CITY OF SOUTH END, INDIANA, as follows: <br /> <br /> SECTION I. The following public question should be submitted to the registered <br />voters of the City of South Bend the next election in the form prescribed by Ind.
