Sanitary District Gale Neulieb, City Clerk Kim Sliwa, Deputy City Clerk APPROVAL OF MINUTES President Janus asked if there were any corrections to the minutes of the Regular meeting of July 20, 2015, August 3, 2015 Executive Session Meeting. Virginia Keating made the motion to approve the minutes as presented of the July 20, 2015 meeting. The motion was seconded by Vice-President Palmer and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. REQUEST TO HOLD A 5K RUN – Briana Billups 5K Run on September 12, 2015 President Janus first asked Ms. Billups if she knew she had to have insurance and she stated yes. She was then asked if she was able to buy insurance and she stated she spoke with someone at General Insurance and she has also partnered with the Minority Health Coalition and they are willing to go in with her on the insurance. Vice-President Palmer asked if Ms. Billups could explain what she was doing with this event, is there a fee and so on? Ms. Billups stated there was a $20.00 entrance fee up until the event day, Ms. Billups explained that she is donating in memory of her little brother who passed away last summer of a rare pediatric cancer. Since September is Pediatric Cancer Aware Month she thought that would be the perfect time to celebrate his legacy. Vice-President Palmer asked where these funds were going and Ms. Billups responded Riley Children Hospital in Indianapolis. Vice-President Palmer also asked and would state this would probably relate to Traffic, Ms. Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 2 Billups wants to do this in a residential area which is not really an option. This is because of having to close all the streets off in a residential neighborhood because there is no sidewalks. It was stated that it was believed Edgewood does not have any sidewalks where Ms. Billups wants to hold the walk. This would mean the City would have to provide several officers to help block streets and at this time the city cannot afford to do that. Vice-President Palmers requested that Ms. Billups pick a different route, if possible. Ms. Billups said it is possible to pick a different route, but she also stated she has talked to about five (5) officers who are willing to work that day, being off duty they told her to get a sign in sheet to the Police Department and they would sign up there. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich stated to Ms. Billups that maybe what she should do is refer it to the Traffic Division so they can make a formal recommendation. Vice-President Palmer made a motion to refer this to the Traffic Division for further studying and they can determine if the route is ok to use or if they should use a different route. Then report back by the next meeting in two weeks. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. REQUEST TO PLACE SIGNAGE – Lakefront Art Festival Amy Davis Navardauskas spoke for the Lubeznik Center for the Arts. Craig Phillips stated he was confused by the locations that were listed. Mr. Phillips asked Ms. Navardauskas to explain what 1’s and 3’s mean on her list she provided. She stated that was the number of signs in one location. They are planning on doing a sign, about the size of a political size sign which is not very large. In areas with heavy traffic flow, she would like to place more than one sign in that area. When there is just one (1) sign listed that means she was just planning on putting one (1) sign out. Where there is three (3) or two (2) she is planning to put multiple signs together to get a little more visibility. Mr. Phillips asked if these were going to be placed in the right of way and the response was correct. Mr. Phillips stated they were not going to be attached to poles or anything like that. Ms. Navardauskas stated no, the only sign that they had is the banner, it shows second up from the bottom on page 1, that they were planning to put attached to the black iron fence, Mr. Phillips added that the fence was on private property. All the other signs, Ms. Navardauskas stated she would like to place them on the right of way and in most of the locations, she tried to place them alongside city way finding signs so they would be along where people’s eyes would be on the way finding signs. President Janus stated they have not done this in the past, not in these locations. Ms. Navardauskas responded not in all of these locations, most of the other signage they have placed has been much closer on the north end. They are trying to extend a little farther down. She realizes too that these placements that she has asked for out on the interstate the City may not have any control over those. She still listed them because she liked them, but understood it is probably not the Board’s jurisdiction. Mr. Phillips stated his biggest concern was the three (3) signs in a row, does that just become clutter? He stated there are so many signs in the right of way that most people don’t even get permission for and also asked if the City had jurisdiction on 421. Spike Peller stated not south of 20. Mr. Phillips repeated that 421 south of 20 is not the City’s call, it is an INDOT right of way, same with US 20. US 20, 12, 421, 212 is all INDOT right of way so any of those locations purposed would not be within the purview of the Board of Works. Mr. Phillips went through the list stating which ones were not for the Board of Works, and then continues through each one to make sure both were in agreement. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich made a recommendation that maybe the Board could approve placement in City right of ways subject to your review and approval rather than sit here and go through each one. Maybe the two can meet after the meeting. Mr. Phillips stated just in general, there are some Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 3 locations that are not within our jurisdiction, and the banner would be local or actually a zoning related request and would recommend doing that separately. The only other request would be that they not allow three (3) signs at a location. Virginia Keating made the motion subject to the approval of the Planning Director to approve this request and also keeping in mind that the Planning Director desires that not multiple signs be placed at one particular location. The motion was seconded by Vice-President Palmer with one question, Ms. Navardauskas would pick up the signs after this is done and Ms. Navardauskas responded yes she would like to reuse them next year. The motion carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. OPENING OF BIDS– Surplus Buses President Janus asked if there was anyone present who wished to submit a bid. There was no response.

The motion was seconded by Vice-President Palmer and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion Carries. REQUEST FOR SOLICITATION OF BIDS – Bids for the Village Green Project Spike Peller, Michigan City Engineer is requesting that the Board of Public Works and Safety approve the request for solicitation of bids for the Village Green Project. Jeanette Hicks is present this morning with Global Professional Engineer, she can hand out some of the plans, she does not have the specifications because they are very thick. If the Board approves this solicitation of bids Mr. Peller believes they plan to have a pre-bid meeting tomorrow at 3:00 PM at Global. This has been a long standing project and Mr. Peller thinks Globe has done a wonderful job of putting this together. Mr. Peller added that he looks forward to getting the bid process done this month and starting work. President Janus asked if the work would be started this year and Mr. Peller responded he believed so. Jeanette Hicks from Global Engineering and Land Surveying stated that as Mr. Peller mentioned, when advertising for bids, the bids would be due at the next Board of Works meeting, August 17, 2015. Hopefully if all the bids are in order they can get started as soon as possible and typically plants are opened, depending on the weather till mid-October, sometimes later. So Ms. Hicks is hoping that Global Engineer will be able to get all the streets outlined in the plans completed this year. Vice-President Palmer asked Mr. Peller if funding was secure for this, and Mr. Peller stated that the Council has appropriated $1,000,000.00 for this exact project so they are within budget. President Janus stated this is Phase 1. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich asked if the Human Rights Director would be attending the pre bid? Mr. Peller stated yes. Vice-President Palmer made a motion that the board allow Mr. Peller to request solicited bids for the Village Green Project. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion Carries. REQUEST TO PERMISSION TO INSTALL SCULPTURES - Janet Bloch, Education Director for the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, after the last meeting Ms. Bloch agreed that she would come back with modifications from the artist. Last Monday, July 27 Ms. Bloch met at the artist’s studio and Amber Lapaich and Charlie Keene from General Insurance joined her, at two of the studios. Modifications from the artists was then requested. Ms. Bloch has a packet for each of the board members and the first one is the one that they really did not seem to have a concern with. If the board looks at the next picture, that was the before picture. This one was the one the board was concerned with the blades and then there is the modifications where actually the artist has removed the blades and fashioned the goat out of a completely different material being welded. In the second picture, the artist is using a little less of the agricultural equipment in this picture. The last artist, there is a before picture and an after as well. There was some talk about putting a fence around the third sculpture which Charlie Keene and Amber both though when they saw it in person looked good. They have also spoke with Craig Phillips about actually moving the sight. The board has the new designated sight for the third sculpture which is just a little bit further west then originally planned. If the board looks at the picture that is after the “sight” picture, the board will see a close up of the modifications on the pitch fork which there were some concerns. What Ms. Bloch is asking the board for is two things, permission to install Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 5 this week for the celebration on Saturday and actually to accept the pieces in the city’s permanent collection. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich stated that she remembered one of the names of the sculpture’s which she believed was “American Gothic”, she asked what the other two names were for the records? Ms. Block stated they were “Isle of Caprine” Caprine referring to goats. The other one was “Tower of Wind” because the actually top of it will spin like a weather vane. President Janus asked if the insurance said it would be ok? Ms. Lapaich stated that Charlie Keene said as soon as the City takes ownership that he will get them under our coverage. Ms. Lapaich also added as this board may recall the Redevelopment Commission donated all the funding for this, so once the sculptures were actually created then this board was going to take formal ownership if the board was satisfied with the same and approve installations. Ms. Lapaich added that Charlie Keene, Don Babcock, Janet Bloch, Amber Lapaich, Judy went out and reviewed the sculptures. The sculptures are really amazing, Ms. Lapaich stated everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised, the pictures really do not do it justice that being there in person does. Don Babcock has worked extremely hard on this project. Ms. Bloch also wanted to thank Craig Phillips and Jeff from Global Engineering, they really worked with Ms. Bloch to try and satisfy the boards concerns as well. Ms. Bloch thanked Ms. Lapaich for taking the time to come and seeing it in person because seeing it in person is worth a lot more than words can say. Vice-President Palmer asked if the Lubeznik Center would be installing these and Ms. Bloch responded that they have hired Zac Baker who has installed sculptures for the city before and will be working with the artist, everyone knows about it so installation is not Ms. Bloch expertise but she is going to leave it to them and hope she will be on site if there are problems that arise. “Tower of Wind” is going on the Farmers Market site and the other two are going across in the parking lot. Vice-President Palmer stated that since the attorney has viewed these and is satisfied that the boards concerns are taken care of as well as the insurance agency the motion was made to allow Lubeznick Center for the Arts permission to install 3 sculptures at the Farmers Market and the City takes ownership and also insure them from day one. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. EMPLOYEE REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF LEAVE – President Janus stated that the board met in an Executive Session that morning to discuss this. Corporate Council Amber Lapaich stated the Personnel Director is asking for an extended leave for one of the City’s employee’s for an additional 90 days from July 15, 2015. Vice-President Palmer made the motion to allow the employee a 90 day extension of FMLA beginning July 15, 2015. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. RESOLUTION – Approval of sale of 6000 S. Cleveland Ave Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich asked if this could be tabled for two more weeks, she has almost everything put together for this board. Vice-President Palmer made the motion to TABLE this Resolution till the next Board of Works meeting on August 17, 2015. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 6 follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REGARDING REVOLVING LOAN FUND FOR $90,000 – Clarence Hulse, EDCMC Director, this has been going on for about five (5) years now and it is still in process. Thankfully the City Attorney and the Controller’s office were helping out as much as they can. Mr. Hulse was hoping to have the mortgage note present this morning but unfortunately there was an emergency with the person doing this and it is not present. He stated he thinks the board has one of two choices, it can be tabled until next meeting or it can be voted on pending legal review of the note. Ms. Lapaich asked if it is delayed two weeks will it have any effect on the business operation? Mr. Hulse stated yes, he was waiting on this to happen. So one way would be pending legal review. Vice-President Palmer stated it could be approved pending the board’s legal review, and Ms. Lapaich stated when she gets it she could contact Mr. Hulse if she had any concerns and there can always be a Special Meeting scheduled. Mr. Hulse asked if there was anything else needed, the reason being this was the first time and in the future he wanted to make sure when he comes back the next time he has everything. He did state the City Attorney’s office has been great to work with and get this done. Vice-President Palmer made a motion to approve the $90,000 Revolving Loan through to Greater Indiana Title Company for Lindos Restaurant Inc. pending final paperwork approval by the City Attorney and if need be a special meeting prior to the final signing. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carries as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: (0). Motion Carries. CLAIMS AND PAYROLL Vice-President 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. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. The Board signed: Payroll items in Register of Claims for informational purposes (which Register is in the possession of the City Controller) as follows: Page Date Amount 1 of 8 07/21/2015 $423,711.61 1 of 3 07/28/2015 $209,210.03 Allowance of claims as set forth in the Register of Claims for the Board of Public Works and Safety and the Department of Redevelopment (which Register is in the possession of the City Controller) as follows: Page Date Amount 1 of 4 07/30/2015 $314,748.41 1 of 1 0730/2015 $1,182.05 Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 7 UNFINISHED BUSINESS – Pending Items Pending Item - 111 Franklin Street Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer, he did speak with Mr. Adams, the new owner of the property. He did relay that the property adjacent to his is being sold and he will know by the end of the week if he has a parking situation figured out. Mr. Adams stated he would be at the next board meeting either himself or a representative to update the board with the status and project time line. Vice-President Palmer stated if he has no parking lot he has no parking. Mr. Phillips added he has parking available on his site and he is intending to use some of the Amtrak parcel for parking as well. But perhaps that because of the restaurant being a heavy intensive parking use, he wants to try and have some parking available on the adjacent parcel or a parking agreement with that owner. The big thing right now is that the City receives a revised schedule from him and that it moves forward with an order to repair or modify order to repair based on that schedule. The City has asked for this schedule in time for the next board meeting. Vice-President Palmer asked if the Order to Repair could still be started even if we did not have the schedule? Mr. Phillips stated it is in place. Ms. Lapaich stated the board cannot do anything that is not initiated from the Planning Department. So if it is already in place, then the Planning Department is monitoring it. Mr. Phillips stated they are monitoring it based on the new schedule. If the new schedule is not to the liking of the board then they will proceed with order to demo if necessary, but the Planning Department’s hope is not to do that. Vice-President Palmer stated that the board is hearing about it again from the public because this empty building is sitting down there. Mr. Phillips stated he is aware of this, he had hoped this would have been taken care of by this time last year, but everyone knows the process that the Planning Department has gone through with this. It was added that if the new owners default by not being at the next meeting with the plans, can the board issue an emergency order to repair? Ms. Lapaich stated the board can’t but Planning Department can. Pending Item – Zoological Society Craig Phillips, City Planner, there is nothing to report, waiting to hear from the Mayor on his decision. Pending Item – Two-way street conversion project Craig Phillips, City Planner, held a workshop on the design considerations, the consultants have been working on putting some designs together. The hope is that they will be coming back to the board at the second meeting in August. At that time, with a request for approval to go to bid on this project. The board will have the drawings prior to that meeting. If the Planning Department is not able to go to the second meeting in August then they will go to the first one in September. Planning Department is planning on asking the board for approval primarily for restriping and minor modifications including signage and minor repairs to intersections south of Hwy 12. To the north of Hwy 12 the plan would be to retain the curves around City Hall and the Police Station in the form that they are. When you get to the intersection with Franklin a standard intersection installed. There was some interest in putting a roundabout intersection at the meeting but there is not time given this current consideration to design engineer those improvements. There would also be a substantial amount of property acquisition involved to be able to do a project like this. This could come at a later date if this is decided to be pursued. The curves adjacent to Lubeznik Center and Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 8 Galveston heading north onto north Franklin, would be retained in a one lane configuration along with the intersection Mr. Phillips talked about previously. Mr. Phillips will be getting the plans to the board prior to the request for this approval, but the intention is to hopefully move forward with the construction of improvements this fall and in the spring. President Janus asked if Mr. Phillips wanted the Board to vote at that time for two-way? Mr. Phillips stated at that time to go to bid, he will not put out for bid until the board says ok. Mr. Phillips stated he does not need the board’s approval legally to go to bid, it is just a courtesy. Mr. Phillips stated before they award a bid, he will ask the board’s permission to construct and approval of the two-way. Pending Item – Crave LLC, 1701 Franklin Street Craig Phillips, City Planner nothing has been installed nor documents to be received in the Clerk’s office. Pending Item – Fire Training Center, Paving President Janus informed everyone that this will be TABLED for the time being. Vice-President Palmer made a motion that Paving for the Fire Training Center be TABLED till the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Virginia Keating and carries as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS None (0). Motion Carries. Pending Item – 228 W. Coolspring Avenue Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer, demolition hearing will continue till August 17, 2015 Pending Item -1120 Elston St. Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer, stated this will be on hold temporary because Mr. Hatfield is rearranging the priority of some of the demos that he has in mind, mainly because of the Redevelopment Commission assistance. Pending Item – 1204 W. 7th St. Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer, stated hopefully this can be addressed under the Property Maintenance Ordinance. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich stated that this was on the Agenda tomorrow night for 1st reading at the City Council Meeting. Pending Item – 1125 W. 8th Street Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated he would bring this in front of the board in September. Pending Item – Old Chrysler Building Michigan Blvd. & 11 St. Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated this is still on hold, hopefully Property Maintenance Ordinance will assist with getting something done. Pending Item – Sinking/receding property at northwest corner of Franklin & 7th Street Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 9 Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated that a notice was issued and requested the owner to do something about the sinking and erosion under the sidewalks, possibly get some fill in. Mr. Hatfield has never heard back from the owner. The City did put up the snow fence for the Taste of Michigan City to insure public safety. Mr. Phillips stated this was put in as an emergency repair. The Planning Department intends to follow up accordingly. The property is getting worse as time passes. It is the Planning Departments opinion that it is at this point maintaining a public nuisance. Mr. Phillips wants to proceed with an Order to Repair. Ms. Lapaich asked if they have been formally issued an Order to Repair, Mr. Hatfield said he would do that, under unsafe premises under state code. Pending Item – 915 Green St. Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated on hold. Pending Item – 1214 E. Michigan Blvd. Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated hearing was continued till August 17, 2015 but wanted to add it is looking much better. Pending Item – 710 E. Barker Ave Russ Hatfield, Code Enforcement Officer stated on hold till August 17, 2015. Vice-President Palmer asked if there was any progress made and Mr. Hatfield responded no. Also added was there has been no contact. Pending Item – Fire Training Center, Paving Spike Peller, City Engineer wanted to add that the Sanitary District is looking at dedicating that property to the City, working on the descriptions and legal stuff. Once it becomes the City’s then the City can do what they want with it. Pending Item – Memorandum for Special Summer Events Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich stated that the policy about any types of walks, she is still researching and putting it together. She did state she would not have anything ready by the next meeting but suggested keeping it on the pending list so it is not forgotten. PUBLIC COMMENTS Ron Miller, 3033 Woodrow Ave, Michigan City. Woodrow Ave is located off of Coolspring Ave, opposite the entrance to the old YMCA. There is a home on the corner of Coolspring and Woodrow that has been there for a while and has changed hands several times. There is a bush on that corner, on the northwest corner, which precedes the current owners. It is now growing out across the sidewalk and trying to turn onto Coolspring off of Woodrow yesterday is getting increasingly difficult to see oncoming traffic. As you know sometimes traffic tends to go a little faster than the 30 mph speed limit on Coolspring and Mr. Miller is afraid it is an accident waiting to happen. If the owner or whatever the proper procedure for trimming that bush back, might be a very good idea. President Janus asked Traffic to take a look at this but Vice-President Palmer suggest referring it to the City Forrester because it is an issue that has been brought to his attention by two other residents. The Board asked Mr. Zondor to forward this to the Forrester and have him look at it immediately. Regular Meeting –August 3, 2015 Page 10 Terry McGinnis, 30 Marine Dr., Michigan City, was at the last meeting and talked about the 2 – 15 minutes parking signs and the board indicated that they were going to look at the minutes from the meeting where they were granted. She did not know if she was supposed to come back or where the board was at with this. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich stated that she has not had a moment to look yet. Ms. McGinnis asked if she should come back and when? Ms. Lapaich stated to just call her office, maybe she could point her to the minutes. President Janus asked if there was anyone else from the public who wished to speak. There was no response. BOARD COMMENTS President Janus asked if there were any Board comments. Vice-President Palmer thanked Mainstreet for putting on a nice event this past weekend. The Taste of Michigan City was well run and very well attended. Appreciated their efforts as well the Super Boat Race that was held this weekend. There was no incidents to report. Everything went smoothly. Appreciated all the help by the Police Department and City Departments that were all involved. President Janus inquired whether there was anything else to be considered by the Board at this time and, there being none, declared the meeting ADJOURNED (approximately 9:50 a.m.). Virginia Keating made the motion to adjourn. The motion was seconded by Vice- President Palmer and carried as follows: AYES: MEMBERS Janus, Palmer and Keating (3). NAYS: None (0). Motion carries. _________________________________________ Gale A. Neulieb, City Clerk
