REGULAR MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Samuel Brown – 222 E. Navarre St., South Bend – I would like for the Council to grant me five <br />(5) minutes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Oliver Davis made a motion for five minutes. Councilmember White seconded <br />the motion. <br /> <br />Samuel Brown – When Schoby met with the Mayor, the Mayor jumped up and stated that he <br />would support him. Nothing has been done since then. Until we get some white people to march <br />with us to change Martin Luther King Drive, nothing will ever get done. When MLK Center had <br />drugs and crime they installed cameras. There is no need for the Armadillo, there are different <br />methods to get things done. We need the white people to march with us then we’ll get something <br />done. <br /> <br />Kintae Lark – 307 Chapin St. South Bend – Regarding the Armadillo, I think it is a huge <br />mistake. As a Youth Pastor we need to think of the psychological effect that it will have on the <br />young people that live in those areas. Discipline without relationship breeds rebellion. This <br />relates to me for running for public office; it is the 50 year anniversary that we celebrate the <br />March on Selma and 150 years in South Bend. It would be nice to celebrate more minorities <br />running for office, especially in the news. <br /> <br />Valerie Krause – 4207 Norton Drive, South Bend – I’m following up on the Martin Luther King <br />Drive renaming. I pulled an article from the South Bend Tribune, where the Mayor stated he <br />would support this on the account of two conditions: the businesses and citizens on that route <br />will need to show support, and a resolution from common council in support of the renaming. <br />To take a road like Lincoln Way named after Lincoln and move to another leader is counter- <br />productive. Mayor Pete stated the Public Works has the authority to change the road. Apparently <br />for two years the legal department has not had time to figure this out. It would be nice to have <br />this done in time for the 150 year city celebration. <br /> <br />Volia Sims – 1636 Florence St, South Bend – The city started a sidewalk in my neighborhood, <br />and they skipped a section. There is old concrete mixed with new concrete, so now the <br />sidewalks are uneven. Second item, the Armadillo is an excellent tool, we need more than one <br />Armadillo. For the first time I was able to pump gas in my neighborhood with my grand- <br />daughter in the car. There was no loitering, less activity, and less crime. The Armadillo is a <br />great idea. I’m looking forward to the crime rate going down. <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, Vice-President Derek Dieter <br />adjourned the meeting at 8:04 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Vice-President Derek Dieter requested a motion to reconvene. So moved by <br />Councilmember White. Councilmember Dr. Ferlic seconded the motion which carried by a <br />voice vote of eight (8) ayes. <br /> <br />Lynn Palmer – 4519 Silver Lane, South Bend – I would like for you to reconsider the viewing of <br />electronic devices; I know you tabled this. However, I am an amateur radioist and we do a lot for <br />the community. I would suggest you look into that more and consider allowing for the radioist to <br />be able to use their devices within the city limits. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Council, Vice-President Derek Dieter <br />adjourned the meeting at 8:06 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
