REQUEST FOR STREET LIGHT – Sharon Carnes on behalf of the Eastport Neighborhood Improvement Group is requesting the placement of a street light mid-block in the 300 block of Dickson Street Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 3 The following correspondence was received in the City Clerk’s Office on August 22, 2014 from Sharon Carnes: Two residents at the Eastport Neighborhood Improvement meeting requested a street light in the 300 block of Dickson. There is a light on the corner, but mid-block it is very dark. There is a utility pole across the street from 315 Dickson where a light could be installed. Vice-President Carnes addressed the Board regarding the request; explaining where the light should be placed. Vice-President Carnes stated she would like to hear from the City Engineer. Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board stating he went out and looked at the area; asking that the Board confirm the location is 315 N. Dickson Street; explaining there are street lights at both intersections, and there is a power pole across the street from 315 N. Dickson Street. Mr. Peller informed the Board that currently the City is spending approximately $40,000.00 per month for electricity to NIPSCo., and these lights cost roughly $500.00 per month. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Peller regarding reconciliation between the street lights throughout the City and the NIPSCo bill. Mr. Peller stated the Inspection Department goes out twice a year at night to check the lights to be sure they are lite. Mr. Peller stated the Inspection Department is not tasked with physically checking the pole numbers with the NIPSCo bills. Mr. Peller stated if the Board wants a street light he will put the request in to NIPSCo to take care of the installation of the light. Further discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Peller regarding street lights that may no longer be needed within the City and having them turned off; the wattage of bulbs/lights used; and the City putting up their own street lights. Mr. Peller stated that is one of the items he is looking at with the “Right-of-Way Program” that he has in place; explaining the Engineers are going out and working with the Michigan City Police Department primarily to see where lights are that may no longer be needed and where lights are needed, which is an on-going investigation. Corporate Counsel John Espar asked Mr. Peller to look into the Engineering Standards for the separation between street lights. Mr. Peller explained it is dependent upon the power/lumens of the light. Mr. Peller stated the City uses a standard light throughout the City; and the Engineering Standards for the separation between the street lights is a part of the report that is being prepared for the “Right-of-Way Program”, and he will look into that and report back. Vice-President Carnes stated that given the fact that this area has been a hot spot recently in terms of crime; the “Engineering Standards” may not be applicable in all areas. Vice-President Carnes made the motion to approve the street light installation for the 300 block of Dickson Street. The motion was seconded by Michael Palmer and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Carnes and Palmer (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. REQUEST FOR MINOR SERVICE CHANGE M.C. TRANSIT DEPARTMENT - Robin Tillman, M.C. Transit Director is requesting a “Minor Service” change to transit routes Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 4 The following was received in the City Clerk’s Office on August 25, 2014 from Robin Tillman, M.C. Transit Director: Michigan City Transit Department Policy # 305, System Service Change II. (B) Minor Service Change. The requirement for this policy comes from the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Circulars 4702.1B Title VI Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients and 9030.1D Urbanized Area Formula Program. The purpose is to establish the threshold that defines a major service change and the procedure to take to promote adequate notice, provide avenue for public comment, and the opportunity for Michigan City Transit to consider the views of the public prior to the implementation of any changes. Item #1. Proposed Minor Service Change, Returning service to Springland Ave. Between Liberty Trail and Karwick Road. On May 6, 2013 a minor service change was made due to long term road construction on Springland Ave. between Roeske Ave. and Karwick Rd. Route #1 currently travels via Liberty Trail, East – US HWY 12, North – Karwick Plaza (Bus stop), South – Karwick Rd., Lakeland Estates (narrow turnaround on private property), North Karwick Rd., North – Martin Luther King Dr., West – US HWY 12, South – Liberty Trail. Issues: US HWY 12 is a Non-Service area. The turnaround at Lakeland Estates is too narrow for the new buses to safely navigate the area. The new buses are 35’ long, 3’ longer then the International bus currently utilized and slated to be placed in contingency fleet. Frequency of service in this area is once hourly. Proposed minor service change: Route #1. East – Liberty Trail, Springland Ave., North – Karwick Ave., Karwick Plaza (turnaround), and South – Karwick Rd., Springland Ave. resume the route at Liberty Trail. Frequency of service in this area would be increased to twice hourly. Proposed effective date: October 6, 2014. Item #2. Proposed Minor Service Change, Route # 3 Add service to Wabash St. Providing direct service to Lighthouse Place from both NICTD Stations. Currently Route #3 travels west on 4th street, south on to Washington St., and east on to 9 th St. Proposed Change: Route #3 will travel west on 4 th Street, south on Wabash St. (servicing Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall) and east on to 9th Street. MC Transit currently services Washington Street between 4 th Street and 9th Street 6 times each hour. Wabash St. currently has no service between 4 th Street and 9th Street. The minor service change would widen our service area and connect NICTD to Lighthouse Place. Proposed effective date: October 6, 2014. Thank you for your consideration. Robin Tillman, Director M.C. Transit Department addressed the Board explaining the proposed changes; asking for approval. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mrs. Tillman regarding if the bus service would be going onto Lighthouse Place property. Mrs. Tillman stated it would not, the bus would stop at the corner of 6th & Wabash Streets. Michael Palmer made the motion to approve the minor transit changes as requested. The motion was seconded by Vice-President Carnes and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Carnes and Palmer (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 5 CLAIMS AND PAYROLL Michael Palmer moved that the claims set forth in the Register of Claims (in possession of the City Controller) and appearing in the Register be severally allowed and ordered paid and proper warrants for payment thereof hereby ordered issued in the stated amounts to person(s) and/or firm(s) as set forth, and payrolls approved.

Counsel Espar explained this item is fully closed and can be removed from the Pending Item list. Pending Item – Request for Honorary Street Signs-Leon Coleman Jr. on Karwick Road Corporate Counsel John Espar addressed the Board stating the Honorary Street sign request that was received on behalf of the founder of Coleman Funeral Home does not require the Common Council’s approval; explaining the last request of this nature went before the Common Council for financing only; further explaining if the Board of Public Works and Safety or the Street Department has the funding for this available and this Board is inclined to utilize those funds for that purpose then there is nothing legally required to go through the Common Council, but if the funding is not there then they will need to go to the Common Council. Discussion ensued between the Board and Corporate Counsel Espar regarding funds that would be needed for the printing of the signs and installation, with the City crews doing the installation. Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 6 Anthony Getter and Belicia Hicks, owner/operator Coleman Hicks Funeral Home addressed the Board explaining the Honorary signs for Mr. Leon Coleman Jr. would be placed at the beginning of US Hwy 12 on Karwick Road; another at Tryon Road on Karwick Road; and another at Springland Avenue on Karwick Road. President Janus asked that the City Engineer work with the Street Department and the Mayor to see where exactly the signs could be placed. Ms. Hicks asked what the time frame would be for this. Further discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Getters, Associate Pastor of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church regarding approval for the street signs. President Janus stated the Board should have some definite direction and time by the next meeting on September 15, 2014. NOTE: Craig Phillips, City Planner entered the Chambers and was noted present. Pending Item – Approval of Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation By-Laws President Janus addressed the Board and Corporate Counsel John Espar explaining the Board did approve the Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation By-Laws at the last meeting pending further approval by the legal department. Counsel Espar stated he did discuss this issue with Attorney Price, who is the Enrichment Corporation Counsel; further stating he is not convinced that the Board of Public Works and Safety approval is required, although the original formation documents subjected the original by-laws of the Corporation to the review of the Board of Public Works and Safety. Counsel Espar further stated the Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation was organized to be an independent entity, and to be free from the political pressures of the City, so he wasn’t convinced that this Board has to approve those to the extent that the Board has, and the Enrichment Corporation requested it, and at this time the Board has no further need of the legal department. President Janus stated as a member of the Enrichment Corporation, they felt that if nothing else this would keep the public enlightened as to what their By-Laws are. Pending Item – B.O.W. Policy for placement of blade signs and flags over City right-of-way Corporate Counsel John Espar stated the Board approved that policy at the last meeting; it’s just a matter of reducing that policy to writing. Counsel Espar stated when his office support returns next week it will be forwarded to the City Clerk’s Office; further stating this does not need to come back on a continual basis, as he is sure the City Clerk’s Office can work with Lisa to have that prepared. Pending Item – Placement of signage around Marquette Catholic High School Craig Phillips, City Planner informed the Board that the Historic Review Board has reviewed and approved the placement of the requested signage, but it now needs to be reviewed by the Planning Department before it can come before the Board for formal approval. Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 7 Pending Item – Installation of Trail Creek signs Craig Phillips, City Planner addressed the Board stating he is still waiting on the County and partners involved in that to put together some information with regard to that request, which he has not received yet. Mr. Phillips stated he will follow up with City Forester Frank Seilheimer to see what the status of that is. Pending Item – City Street Signs Craig Phillips, City Planner addressed the Board stating he has nothing new to report at this time; reporting they are nearing the end of the process for the Lake Michigan Gateway Strategy; explaining the Redevelopment Commission has adopted that, but that it now goes on to other Boards and Commissions and the City Council. Pending Item – Request for signage to identify US HWY 12 & Michigan Boulevard Craig Phillips, City Planner addressed the Board stating this is the same as the City Street Signs. Pending Item – 111 Franklin Street (Ice Cream Parlor) Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer addressed the Board stating he has been in contact with Mr. Ziola over the past few weeks, and in his opinion he is making good progress; providing the Board with a recent picture of the structure. Mr. Hatfield informed the Board that NIPSCo will be there this week as their Engineer Department has been out to give him power hook up, and the Sanitary District has been out and did their locates for the taps so he can get the sewer done. Discussion ensued between the Board, Mr. Hatfield, Corporate Counsel John Espar and Mr. Ziola regarding the timeline for the demolition; the Board’s decision to either modify or rescind the Order to Demolish; the progress on the building; all the code violations now being cleared; the Order to Repair that was issued; an occupancy permit being issued; prospective tenant to complete interior; the Board not rescinding the Order to Demolish; completion of the building as per the plans that were submitted to the State for review and approval. Pending Item – No Parking signs on Greenwood Avenue by St. Stanislaus Cemetery Lt. Jeff Loniewski, M.C.P.D. Traffic Division addressed the Board regarding the request, stating he did meet with Mr. Pickford at the site this morning to review his request; explaining when the sewer was installed earlier this year new grass was planted along the St. Stanislaus Cemetery side of Greenwood Avenue and since then the shoulder has remained soft and when people park there they create ruts which tears up the lawn and makes it difficult for the maintenance of St. Stanislaus Cemetery to maintain that greenway. Lt. Loniewski stated there are currently some “No Parking” signs installed there, however they indicate that it’s a “snow route” so there’s no parking during a snow emergency, which kind of implies there is parking any other time of the year and there really is not as it is a greenway and there is a City ordinance which prohibits parking on the greenway. Lt. Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 8 Loniewski stated his recommendation would be to replace the “snow emergency” signs with “No Parking” on this side of the street signs. Discussion ensued between the Board and Lt. Loniewski regarding the property being city right-of-way. Michael Palmer made the motion to approve the recommendation of the Traffic Division and put up “No Parking” signs the length of the cemetery. The motion was seconded by Vice- President Carnes and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Carnes and Palmer (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. Pending Item – Request for Handicap Parking Sign-Effie Lee Williams – 320 Pleasant Avenue Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer, addressed the board stating he is still working with the Task Force looking into alternatives to “handicap parking sign” requests, and when he gets the report he will present that to the Board. Discussion ensued between the Board and Corporate Counsel John Espar regarding the City being liable to put in a new sign, as they are for all the old signs that have been approved. Counsel Espar explained the signs are in a place where the design of the parking place does not conform to the established standards for handicap parking. Pending Item – 202 Hilltop Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board regarding 202 Hilltop stating they are working on design, then it will be put out for bids and the work will be done probably this spring. Pending Item – Burn Em Brewing/Freyer Road pedestrian crossing Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board regarding the request for pedestrian crossing on Freyer Road for Burn Em Brewing, stating he is working with the owner to determine a light that will work for them that they want to place rather than having NIPSCo place a light. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Peller regarding any further Board action. Mr. Peller stated the City will still be putting up a crosswalk and some crosswalk signs, but not installing a street light. President Janus stated the item could be removed from the Pending Item list. Pending Item – CSX request for guardrail and curve ahead signage Mr. Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board regarding the request stating they are working on design and as soon as that gets done then the City will place the guardrail. Regular Meeting –September 2, 2014 Page 9 Pending Item – 210 N. Lake Avenue Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board stating he is still working with the Fire Department and others on that. Pending Item – Crosswalk Michigan City High School Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board regarding the crosswalk project for the Michigan City High School stating as soon as the design is complete they are going to do that; he spoke with the Mayor and they are going to go ahead with that. Mr. Peller stated that it is possible that the City can do work on the school property as a donation if the school cannot pay for that, and the only property we can’t work on is the apartment complex; and when he gets the design he will try to work out something for them to pay for their portion or he will work around that; which is planned for this year. Mr. Peller explained the only thing that could hold the project up is the ordering of the flashing light for the crosswalk, but they can go ahead and do everything else, including the bus stop station. Pending Item – Installation of street light at 1017 Providence Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board regarding the installation of a street light at 1017 Providence, stating NIPSCo has the order and he noticed they have one of their little orange stakes out there. Pending Item – Intersection of Greenwood and Woodland Avenues Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board stating he talked with the Mayor and as soon as AT&T moves their pole, then the City will reconstruct those curbings; and the indication is that AT&T will move the pole at their expense. Old Business – Lake Henry utility pole in lake Michael Palmer addressed the Board stating the utility pole that was in the middle of Lake Henry has been moved. Charles “Spike” Peller, City Engineer addressed the Board stating the Sanitary District went out recently and cleaned up around the lake again.

Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Hatfield regarding how long the dumpsters have be at the site and no demolition activity. Mr. Hatfield stated the permit was issued on either Monday or Tuesday of last week (August 25th or 26th). Pending Item – 915 Green Street Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer addressed the Board regarding the property at 915 Green Street, stating he will still like to bring that before the Board next month; further stating he is putting that off because he is working on 904 E. Michigan Boulevard that was approved for demolition at a prior meeting and he should have bids coming in the first meeting of October. Mr. Hatfield explained this demolition will be quite a project and will be very detailed in its specifications. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Hatfield regarding funding for the demolition at 904 E. Michigan Boulevard. Mr. Hatfield informed the Board he is waiting on the demolition at 915 Green Street due to funding, and that even though the property/structure is unmaintained and does fall within the unsafe premise statutes it’s structurally sound and should not cave in and hurt anyone.
