REGULAR MEETING JULY 28, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The streets are in deplorable shape; just now a section of Western Avenue is getting <br />repaired. He stated that he is directing this to the Councilmember’s that have been on the <br />Council for more than one term. This didn’t just happen; it is erosion over time. Rev. <br />Davis stated that it reminds him of the model city years, nothing, no different. There is <br />no legacy in the neighborhoods, there are no neighborhood schools, there is nothing to <br />reach upon and build a fountain upon. So, people wonder why they are the way they are. <br />They go to bed hopeless and wake up the same way. He stated that he isn’t saying that <br />the Council if the fix all for the entire City, but a part of the solution. Things need to <br />change. There is money to buy the old Sears Building, and then tear it down to make <br />another parking lot. The City needs another parking lot like it needs another hold in its <br />head. That kind of development just doesn’t make sense. Somebody is going to be held <br />accountable of what is happening to this City. Rev. Davis stated that he wants to be on <br />the side that is trying to do something good, something right for the City of South Bend. <br />He urged everyone to come together for the betterment of the City, and this won’t happen <br />ndth <br />until the 2 and 6 District’s are built back up to the way they used to be. <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the President Timothy Rouse adjourned <br />the meeting at 8:53 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />____________________________ ____________________________ <br />John Voorde, City Clerk Timothy Rouse, President <br /> 30 <br />
