Rodney McCormick, 617 Union St., addressed the Board supporting the request for proposals; he believes this will help our residents, especially those on fixed incomes.

The contract is to not exceed $28,899.60. Rodney McCormick addressed the Board asking if the chemicals they use are safe. Mr. Smith stated that for the past four years the City has been working with Clark, they use 12.5 gallons for Duet Adulticide Applicator that has been approved by the EPA; spraying will occur at 9:30 p.m. when the mosquito situation is the most difficult. Scott Meland, 200 Kenwood Place, addressed the Board asking how this will affect the pollinators and if the City will be treating the catch base separately.

Mr. Matanic addressed the Board explaining that neither office has copy machines, so we aren’t looking to replace any; stating the City has standardized the brand of copy machines they use throughout the City departments to make it easier for the technicians to familiarize themselves with the products and maintain them. Mr. Matanic had solicited quotes to lease the copy machines from three companies, Executive Color Systems, Inc, JTF Gov. and Kemp’s Office City, and recommended we go with Kemp’s offer for $5,899 for each machine; recommending we use a five-year fair market value leases because he’s noticed after five years the copy machines seem to be worn out, so the term works out well to be able to refresh the equipment after the lease expiration. The cost of the copy machines would be $120 per month for five years. Mrs. Antisdel made a motion to approve the leases for both copy machines, seconded by Mr. Simmons and was approved with the following vote: AYES: (2) Simmons and Antisdel NAYS: (0) None Request for Stop Sign Brother Shaun, Marquette Catholic High School, and Derald Borton, 800 US-12, are requesting two stop signs on the corner of 10th St. and Washington St. Derald Borton, 800 HWY-212, addressed the Board explaining that back on February 15th, a young lady ran a stop sign on West 10th St. while he was going South on Washington St. and he believes if there was a four-way stop at the intersection, that would’ve not happened. During the construction of the Southshore tracks there was a stop sign at that intersection. Brother Shaun, Marquette Catholic High School, addressed the Board asking that the stop signs at 10th and Washington St. be put back up for safety. Tommy Kulavic, 1316 Ohio St., recommended the Board deny the request and put a camera at that intersection to monitor traffic and pedestrian behavior, especially with it so close to Marquette Catholic High School. Tim Werner, City Engineer, addressed the Board explaining that there has not been a traffic study done since the completion of the Southshore Double-Tracks, but they’re worried come summer there’s going to be an increase in Traffic on Washington St. 3 going North bound; stating his concern is the backup from 10th St. due to the stop sign and cars being stopped on the railroad tracks would get hit by trains. Discussion ensued between Mr. Werner, Brother Shaun and Mr. Borton. Rodney McCormick addressed the Board asking for a traffic study to be done and for the Board to table the request. Scott Meland commented stating that there are too many stop signs on Washington St. and that they don’t always make things safer; he recommended that he would make a motion to remove some of the signs. Discussion ensued between Brother Shaun and Mr. Simmons. Mr. Simmons stated that he will have the City Engineer and Police do an analysis of the intersection and have them give an update at the next meeting. Mrs. Antisdel commented that there was a study done previously at that intersection and there were not enough accidents at that intersection to warrant a stop sign. Mrs. Antisdel made a motion to table the request until the next meeting, seconded by Mr. Simmons and was approved with the following vote: AYES: (2) Simmons and Antisdel NAYS: (0) None Street Closure for Special Event Sean Rathburn, Notre Dame Catholic School, requested to close the intersection of Moore Rd. and HWY-12 for their St. Patrick’s Day 5K Color Run on March 23, 2024 from 7:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tim Werner addressed the Board asking for a copy of the closure permit from INDOT. Mark Seddon, Notre Dame Catholic School, addressed the Board via Zoom stating that they’ve never been required to get that permit in previous three years, they’ve always run this in coordination with the Long Beach and Michigan City Police Department. Mayor Angie said that Mr. Werner will work with the Notre Dame Catholic School on getting it. Mrs. Antisdel made a motion to table the request until the next meeting to get the proper paperwork, seconded by Mr. Simmons and was approved with the following vote: AYES: (2) Antisdel and Simmons NAYS: (0) None Request for Special Purchase The Michigan City Police Department is requesting to purchase a 2024 Dodge Ram 1500 outfitted with the necessary equipment and police lighting from LaPorte Chrysler Dodge for a total of $59,823.59. 4 Chief Steve Forker, Assistant Chief Michigan City Police Department, addressed the Board explaining that they reached out to three different vendors and only LaPorte Chrysler Dodge came back with a substantial discount from the market price in the amount of $10,394.43. Corporate Counsel Amber Lapaich noted that there is an amended warranty to the request, so the vehicle does come with a warranty. Scott Meland made a comment asking the need for a new truck. Chief Forker explained this is a replacement vehicle; the Police Department currently has a 2015 Dodge F-150 with upwards of 150,000 miles on it that is deteriorating.

Resolution – Unfinished Business Resolution determining that funding for certain outstanding purchase orders from 2023 should be encumbered and authorizing the City Controller to encumber such funds. Corporate Counsel Lapaich explained to the Board why the Resolution was tabled; after looking back at the March 7, 2023 Council meeting, Mr. Przybylinski made a motion to reconsider the passage of the additional appropriation and requested that the Attorney investigate a way that the Council can possibly reconsider the monies that were appropriated, but there was never a Deobligation Ordinance passed so the money is available and that is why the City Controller is looking to encumber such funds.

Homer St., addressed the Board explaining why he is wanting to shoot and set their film in Michigan City, specifically the Uptown Arts District and the beach, and provided the requested streets and sidewalks that needed closure and permission from the Parks Department on what parks they will utilize. Mr. Simmons asked what the “Base Camp” consists of? Mr. Meyer explained that the “Base Camp” will be at 515 Franklin St. in the Horizon Bank parking lot and that is where they’ll keep their cars parked and essentially a break spot for during the shooting.

Mayor Angie addressed the Board stating that she had met with Mr. Meyer prior to the BOW meeting; stating she discussed with him on communicating with businesses within the blocks of the street closures. The Mayor asked is there was a backup plan for weather because we are not out of the woods yet with snow; Mr. Meyer confirmed that weather dates are built into the schedule. Mrs. Antisdel stated that Mr. Meyer needs to speak with the local businesses about how the street closures are going to impact their businesses. Tommy Kulavic made a comment stating it would be very cool to have a movie featuring Michigan City. Scott Meland made a comment asking how many vehicles will there be and how much of a disruption will it be to the City. Mr. Meyer stated that they have a small budget, and it is only a crew of about 20 people. Chief Marty Corley, Michigan City Police Department, stated that he hasn’t had the chance to look at the request yet, but has spoken with Mr. Meyer in the past about the road closures and recommends we approve the request. Mrs. Antisdel made a motion to approve the street closures, seconded by Simmons and was approved with the following vote: AYES: (2) Simmons and Antisdel NAYS: (0) None Public Comment Tommy Kuavik made an announcement regarding that lifeguards are needed for the 2024 season at Washington Park Beach and you can apply through the Fire Department. Brian Gross, 830 W. 6th St., addressed the Board stating that code 94-139 says driving in parks can only be on paved surfaces and does not allow people to drive over curbs unless there is a curb cut there. He lives near Pullam Park and said that people were constantly driving on the grass from 6th St. all the way up to the parking lot for the skate park. 10 Mr. Gross also complained about Burn’em Brewery’s parking situation, stating that an ordinance requires a space of about 146 parking spaces off the street, and there are cars parked up and down F St., on people’s property, in front of their houses and driving on the actual landscaping in front of the building. He stated there is supposed to be a sidewalk in front of the building along 212 and they just put woodchips down. Mayor Angie said that there is a project happening on 212 this year so that may be why there is not a sidewalk in front of the Brewery; advising she will have the City Engineer look into the parking and sidewalk situation. Mayor Angie addressed the Board regarding the Shelf Ice Brew Fest complaints, asking the Board and Corporate Counsel Lapaich to come up with a policy on writing up some contract language for any type of closures, garbage pickups, fines and assessments for those things. The Mayor recommended to the Park Department that the event possibly be moved to Washington Park because she thinks it’s outgrown the space. Mayor Angie stated that rules need to be in place for when barricades go up and come down and more guidelines need to be in place for any events that take place on Franklin St. that impact businesses; advising the roads closed on Friday morning for the event to take place on Saturday and didn’t open back up until Sunday mid-day, stating it impacted all the local businesses that day because Fridays are a shopping day. Rodney McCormick, 617 Union St., addressed the Board regarding Burn’em Brewery stating that people are parking in every bodies vacant lots, blocking the alley ways and it’s becoming a problem for people in his community; he claimed that they don’t want any “No Parking Signs”. Mr. McCormick stated that if it was a Black-Owned business, they wouldn’t be allowed to get away with what they’re doing; it’s shameful to see this approved and happening. Bob Kiser, 3718 Dorchester Rd., addressed the Board regarding the pending items list for sidewalk repair on Franklin and 8th St. asking if it’s going to be fixed. Corporate Counsel Lapaich said that the new City Engineer will take a look at the sidewalk. Scott Meland addressed the Board regarding the Shelf Ice Brew Fest recommending that vendors should put down a security deposit, stating that the City and business owners should be protected from the cleanup of events; recommending that Fedder’s Alley would be a perfect place for a beer festival. He also stated that Burn’em Brewery has some bugs to work out since they just opened and we want to encourage businesses to come and stay to our city, but we should facilitate with Burn’em on their parking situation, Mr. Simmons concurs with the statement. Jesse Konduff, 731 Franklin St., Owner of Hoity Toity, addressed the Board complaining about the Shelf Ice Brew Fest, asking if there is a way for local businesses to get a notice for street closures, so they can attend the meetings to speak for or against them; stating that they are not against parades and events, but against long-term street closures because he lost about 90% of his sales during the weekend of the beer fest. 11 Kasey Mars, 428 E. 9th St., addressed the Board on behalf of Static Age Records regarding complaints about the Shelf Ice Brew Fest; stating that they were told they get exposure from the event, but had a big tent and porta-potties put directly in front of his business and they were hindered by the entire event. Amy Boman, Owner of Good News Vintage located at 613 Franklin St., addressed the Board complaining about the Shelf Ice Brew Fest; she stated that when her business is where Static Age Records is now, she had to fight tooth and nail for them to not put up porta-potties in front of her business, but they continued to put them there. Over the years the road closures have gotten worse by staying closed for a longer periods of time. Ms. Boman states that it feels like a slap in the face because they’re told it’s going to help their businesses, but they end up being totally cut off from the event. She also stated that on Sunday after the event, a local merchant had to remove the barriers himself to open the street and once they were removed business resumed as normal. Lindsey NcGrelly, 106 Heck Rd., addressed the Board stating she owns a small business on Franklin St. as well and had to cancel all of her appointments during the weekend of Shelf Ice Brew Fest; she stated that people don’t realize the impact the brew fest has on small businesses. Renee Finnel, Paris House of Bridal, addressed the Board complaining about the Shelf Ice Brew Fest, stating that 50% of her appointments were canceled that Saturday; stating that the small business owners just want to be heard and work together to change the event. Mike Vincent, 6 Devonshire Ct., addressed the Board regarding the complaints towards Shelf Ice Brew Fest; he stated that as a previous Board Member he’s embarrassed they approved the event because Mainstreet promised to fix the issues of the complains that were brought up during the meeting. Mr. Simmons on behalf of Isaac Lamm, stated that people are parking on their vacant lot without permission next to Burn’em Brewery on F St.; stating they expect the issue to get worse during summertime and that there is not good lighting in that area; stating that they’re worried that accidents will happen if people get rowdy from drinking alcohol. Mr. Lamm said that he would like the City to address this issue and suggests: 1. City to provide parking lot for the customers of the brewery, 2. More streetlights and 3. Construct sidewalks to avoid parking on our land and avoid deterioration of the land. Tommy Kulavic addressed the Board recommending we move the Shelf Ice Brew Fest to the Redevelopment Commission’s Gray Field Site. Rodney McCormick addressed the Board stating that every lot over by Burn’em Brewery is personally kept up; he claims that about 85% of the people at the Brewery on the night of Shelf Ice were out of town people parking in the lots. Mr. McCormick stated he’s against the Brewery being in the new location that they’re in; stating that a 12 lot of City tax dollars went into Burn’em Brewery because they’re in a Tiff District and would’ve rather seen the money go towards their kids instead of getting drunk. Board Comment Mrs. Antisdel made a comment in regard to Burn’em Brewery, stating that she lives on Fryer Rd., so she understands the type of parties they have. She stated that Burn’em had statutes they had to follow and got permission to do everything they’ve done thus far; she agrees that the City needs to work with them on their parking situation. Mrs. Antisdel would also like to thank the local merchants for coming forth about their issues with Shelf Ice Brew Fest; stating that she had already spoke with a few of them about the issues and agrees something needs to be done; confirming that they’re not anti-events, but anti-closing the businesses down for three weekend days and agreeing that the event has outgrown its space and should be moved to a better location. Mrs. Antisdel made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Simmons and was approved with the following vote: AYES: (2) Simmons and Antisdel NAYS: (0) None Metting adjourned at 10:08 a.m. CST _______________________________________________________ Izabelle Galvin Ellis, Clerk of Board of Public Works & Safety _______________________________________________________ President of Board of Public Works & Safety 13
