Attorney Kuchel respectfully requested that the Board consider a suspension of the enforcement activity so that Mr. Ziola can conclude the transaction of sale to the new owner who can complete the restaurant; further stating the contract is a warranty sale contract, and that he cannot close the sale with the enforcement action pending as the buyer does not want to take title to a property that has a lien or enforcement action against it and may not be able to develop the property as is.

REQUEST TO HOLD WALK – Christine Kiser requests approval for the 4th Annual “Runnin for Prestin and All Children 5K/10K” on Saturday, September 19, 2015 starting at 8:00 am The following correspondence was received in the City Clerk’s Office on December 10, 2014 from Christine Kiser, 6666 W. Michael Place: Type of Request: 5K/10K to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. We are requesting that the Michigan City Board of Works consider a request for the 4 th Annual Runnin’ for Prestin and All Children 5K/10K event to be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015. This event is held in honor of Prestin Butcher, a local 14 year old boy who was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 10 years old. He is currently cancer free, but not finished in his fight against cancer. The proceeds from this event are donated to Dr. Shih of Riley’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis for pediatric cancer research. Pediatric cancer is the least researched cancer in the U.S. Every day, 46 children are newly diagnosed and 7 children die from cancer. This is why we are compelled to continue with this endeavor. The proposed route would start and end at Washington Park and is not changed from previous year’s run. Anticipated road closures would be at the following intersections: Lakeshore Drive/Kreuger, Kreuger/Fogarty, Lakeshore Drive/entrance to Beachwalk, Lakeshore Drive/Lake, East turn around point on Lakeshore Drive (Turner), Washington Park Blvd./Lake. As with previous runs, we will secure volunteer police and fire department employees to commit to providing emergency support as well as traffic control and road closure safety on the course. This will not incur any additional cost to Michigan City. We intend on starting the race at 8:00. Road closures will start at 7:45 and we will open each road as the last walker/runner passes each point. We anticipate that all roads will be open by 9:30. We hope that you will consider this petition. We strongly appreciate the Board of Works support in the past in this endeavor. We feel that holding this event is an honor to Prestin Regular Meeting – January 5, 2015 Page 6 and all those who struggle with cancer. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request. We may be contacted at the phone numbers and email below with any questions or concerns regarding this petition. Christine Kiser, 6666 W.

Michael Palmer made the motion to approve the request for the 4th Annual Runnin’ for Prestin and All Children 5K/10K on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 8:00 a.m., provided the Liability Insurance is received prior to the event.

REQUEST FOR CITY PROPERTY – The Washington Park Zoological Society is requesting two (2) City owned lots to start an apple orchard The following correspondence was received in the City Clerk’s Office on December 29, 2014 from Johnny Stimley, Vice President Washington Park Zoological Society: The Washington Park Zoological Society is requesting some city owned land to start an apple orchard. We have had a discussion with the assistant city planner for assistance on possible land sites. Over the year the zoo will go through about a ton of apples, they are a staple in many of the animal diets. They are mainly purchased from local supermarkets. The zoo pays around a $1 a pound for a total of somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000 for the year. This project would have many benefits to the city. If given the property the Zoological society would clean it up, plant the trees and oversee the care of them. Over time this will help save the zoo and city money in the budget. This would create a green space that can be used to educate the public and improve the quality of life in Michigan City. Many people come to the zoo wanting to volunteer with small children which they have to turn away. This would be a perfect opportunity for the families to volunteer. We understand that this project would be the first of its kind in the area. We are requesting 2 lots for a starting project. I will be contacting the city forester for assistance and taking the next steps. This will be a long process but acquiring the land will be the 1st step in this matter. Thank you for your time and consideration. Craig Phillips, City Planner addressed the Board regarding the request stating the Planning Department inventories the city properties and handles all the record keeping. Mr. Phillips asked that the Board provide him with contact information for the Zoological Society and his department will be happy to work with them. Johnny Stimley, Vice President for the Washington Park Zoological Society addressed the Board regarding the request, explaining they would prefer something closer to the zoo and that this would be the first step in the long process to get this started; asking the Board for their consideration. Regular Meeting – January 5, 2015 Page 7 Mr. Phillips addressed the Board stating he will work with Mr. Stimley to see if there are any properties suitable for their needs, and that the City doesn’t have any use for or plans to sell. Mr. Phillips reminded the Board that the Planning Department is in the process of determining which properties they would like to sell. Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Phillips regarding any possible sites the Redevelopment Commission may have available for this use. Mr. Phillips will approach the Redevelopment Commission as well to see what could be utilized for this request. 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.

Traffic Division addressed the Board providing them with a map of the street/intersection with proposed signage that will be installed; further explaining when the accidents for this area were looked at involving this intersection, several of them happened because east and west traffic assumed there was a four (4) way stop and that north and south traffic has to stop – which they didn’t – therefore they pulled out into cross traffic and got struck and to cure that signs will be placed that state “cross traffic does not stop” signage below each one of the Stop signs for east and west traffic. Lt. Loniewski stated other signage that will be installed will be to put a “Slow Curveside Ahead” on each side of the north and south sides of the intersections so that north and south traffic would be aware that there is an intersection ahead and also a curve. Lt. Loniewski informed the Board that if the implementation of these signs do not help they will look at putting a “Curve Ahead” sign with an advisory speed limit of 20 mph. Discussion ensued between the Board and Lt. Loniewski regarding his report and the site view on Barker Avenue heading east where there is a hill/grade to the road, and what can be done to help this situation, i.e. removing trees. Lt. Loniewski addressed the Board stating the process that will be followed will take into account the steps that are being implemented with the signage. Michael Palmer made the motion to approve the recommendations by Lt. Loniewski for adding the signage on Ohio Street. The motion was seconded by President Janus and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus and Palmer (2). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. President Janus stated the item could be removed from the Pending Item list. Pending Item – 1720 Franklin Street, Panini Panini requests street light in alley, bike racks and garbage cans Craig Phillips, City Planner addressed the Board stating since this issue was brought up one possibility has been the development of the mid-town area; and rather than go to the City Regular Meeting – January 5, 2015 Page 9 Council at this time for funding for new bike racks the Planning Department will need to decide whether or not they are going to go through that planning process, which would ultimately end up with recommendations for streetscape type of improvements which would include things like bike racks; further explaining there are no bike racks available in the City’s inventory. Mr. Phillips further stated garbage cans might be easier for them to install, but again it would be something that they already have in the City’s inventory not something they are going to purchase. Mr. Phillips suggested the item be moved to the quarterly report as this will take some time to determine whether or not the Planning Department will pursue this plan.
