610 Councilmember Donat said she had spoken with the State Tax Board and learned that it wouldn't matter if
d1 the ordinance was not passed for another two weeks, adding that something was being considered that will
take some extra time.
B
54 Councilmember Donat explained that some of the Councilmembers want to see if there is something they
G5 can do to remedy a problem in a certain area of town and it would mean using the money in Council's
budget.

1 Councilmember Allen commented that she would like to know if all the Councilmembers could be told about
2 what is being considered by a few. Councilmember Lundy said there is a blighted house in her district which
3 has been identified as one of the worst drug houses in the City. She said there are no funds in the budget to
4 tear the house down and the neighborhood association would like to fix the house up to use as office space
5 for its workers. The question in her mind, she said, was whether or not the money in Council's budget
6 designated for Other Contractual Services could be used for that.Grimes asked if the City owns the property
7 and Councilmember Donat said that is something that could be taken care of in the next two weeks
8 according to the Department of Law. Grimes said he felt that other funds besides these could be used and
9 added that if they have talked to the Department of Law concerning the legality of actually expending money
10 on a structure that the City does not own that department has not informed him, which means that it will be a
11 point for discussion. He suggested that this ordinance remain intact, noting that there is an unsafe building
12 fund for which $30,000 is appropriated each year. Councilmember Lundy answered that, in that case, she
13 would not consider bothering this ordinance.
14
15 Councilmember Hutton commented that it said in the minutes of the last meeting that President Parker had
16 asked about the balanced budget and where the excess money would go and Grimes had answered that
17 perhaps he would come back before Council for an additional appropriation if there is excess money. She
18 asked as to whether that should read that"he has to"or"he shall."Grimes said what he said was that if there
19 are additional funds that it is necessary to spend and there are funds that are in the cash balance he will
20 come to Council if necessary to come to terms as to whether or not Council would want to spend those
21 additional funds. He added that if Council decides it wants to spend those additional funds then it becomes
22 necessary. He said it would be quite correct to go through the additional appropriation process.
23 Councilmember Hutton said that needed to be corrected and Grimes said that is so if Council decides to
24 spend those funds.
25
26 President Parker declared Ordinance 94 - 1994 on public hearing. There being no comments either for or
27 against the ordinance, Councilmember McBride moved for engrossment, sdecond by Councilmember Allen
28 and the motion was carried on a unanimous voice vote.

46 RICHMOND CODE TO PERMIT THE SALE OF BEER AT MC BRIDE STADIUM
47
48 President Parker announced that Ordinance No. 84 - 1994 was on third and final reading and had already
49 had public comments. He asked for comments from Councilmembers.
50
51 Councilmember Lundy said she had many telephone calls, letters and comments about the ordinance. She
52 added that as a parent of three children, grandmother and great-grandmother there is nothing she would do
53 to hurt her child or anyone else's. She said she respected those who called to make their wishes known and
• 54 asked that they would do the same for her. She said she had three things to ask about. The first was about
55 the Hub Etchison League playing in McBride Stadium and Lambert assured her if a professional ball club
56 comes here it would not affect that league playing in the stadium. She also questioned if there would be a
57 problem with noise and Lambert said the games would be during the evening hours and there would only be
58 the regular amount of noise on the loud speaker with announcements and such. The last question she had
59 was about where the money would come from for improvements. She felt the City cannot afford to do all the
60 improvements discussed and added that she hoped the money for those improvements would come from
61 outside the City.
62
63 She said she understood the plan on how to limit the beer sales had already been voted on and Lambert
64 answered that it had been approved in October. Councilmember Hutton disagreed,saying only the resolution
65 to sell beer had been addressed, not how it was going to be done.

1 Lambert said the Park Department would also look at the Hub Etchison League to be one of the youth sport
2 that would be looked at to provide another facility for the long term. Councilmember Elstro said that Lambe
3 had given two different ways to control the beer and asked if the Park Board had approved both. Lambe
4 said he would have to go back and make sure they approved the version Council had been given. In answe
5 to Councilmember Elstro's question about how much money he was talking about for improvements
6 Lambert said he had no idea. He added that his first source would be the Build Indiana funds
7 Councilmember Dickman said it was obvious that the Hub Etchison League would not be moved out of tha
8 site unless there is a suitable site for it to go.
9
0 Councilmember Brookbank asked Lambert as to whether or not it is true that McBride Stadium is not up t
1 code at this date on conditions such as rest rooms and shower rooms, adding that if a ball club would come.
2 to Richmond and the improvements would be made and they left in two years they would not be able to take
3 those improvements with them.
14
15 Councilmember McBride asked John Cate, coach of Richmond High School baseball who was in th-
6 audience, if he had contacted the IHSAA to see if passing this ordinance would jeopardize sectional
7 regional or semifinal play. Cate answered that they had no objections, stating other IHSAA events take plac-
8 in Market Square Arena and the Hoosier Dome without encountering any problems. In answer to a questio
9 posed by Councilmember McBride, Lambert said the Park Department would only agree to use Diamond 1
'0 and Diamond 2 for parking if those diamonds could be relocated. In looking at the needs, Lambert said
1 there is a definite need right now for soccer. Also, he added, looking for a site for an outdoor sports comple
'2 is just in the beginning stages.
'3
P4 Answering a question by President Parker, Lambert said renovating McBride Stadium was something his
'5 department would address in future years, but with the possibility of a pro team coming to the City that put
•6 the project on the front burner. He said the first place he would look for funding would be the state because
•7 other facilities of this kind have been financed before and in speaking with State Representative Richard
•8 Bodiker and State Senator Allen Paul they felt quite certain they could bring some of that money to
•9 Richmond. However, he added,without a pro team it would be difficult to sell.
c0
c 1 Councilmember Donat said she had many calls and letters and the majority of those were not in favor of the
c2 ordinance and only three wanted her to vote for it. She said she felt the major issue concerning this
c3 ordinance is the money, noting that the ordinance is open ended.She said Council will be making a decision
c4 which could mean millions of dollars for the City but it has not been told how the return will be handled. She
c5 said Council has not been given an estimate of the cost for the suggested sports complex and at the las
6 meeting the word "bonds" had been lightly thrown out. She added that bonds are not free and in the July 5,
c7 1994 meeting Grimes said the City is in the process of eating up the cash balance so there will be virtual)
c8 no carryover. She said she had contacted the State Board of Accounts at that time and asked what that
c9 means and their answer had been that the biggest thing is it lowers the bond rate, they are harder to get,
•0 terms are more difficult and the rate is higher. She stated that when it is said that bonds will pay for this what
•1 it really means is the taxpayers will pay.
2
•3 Councilmember Donat said the other question she has is that she read in the newspaper that the E.D.I.T.
•4 money may pay for some of the improvements in the parking but noted that when all the money was cut from
•5 the Street Division budget it was down to zero and there is no money for streets, curbs and sidewalks. She
6 said even if the City had the money they couldn't make the parking lot out of the softball diamonds because
•7 Mayor Cornett said at the time he would use the money that is in his budget intended for streets, curbs and
•8 sidewalks to that purpose but he signed no letter of intent and there is no guarantee that the money will be
•9 spent for that purpose. Now, she said, Council is told the E.D.I.T. money will be spent on that and when the
.0 Mayor leaves office he may be replaced by someone who is not as fond of baseball as he is. She said at
•1 budget making time the Mayor said the E.D.I.T. money could be used to repair streets. She added that it
.2 cannot be used for both.
.3
.4 Councilmember Donat said she had'received a telephone call from a man active in the athletic community
.5 who said the two diamonds could be used for the Hub Etchison.League and the soccer teams at little cost.
•6 She noted that McBride Stadium now is a multi-use facility and in addition to scheduling problems it could
•7 eventually run into field exclusions where maybe some type of youth activity could take place there but
•8 would be unable to in the future because of the field conditions. Also, she said, they might not be able to
•9 keep the field in the shape a minor league team would wish.
•0
•1 She repeated that the ordinance as it stands is open ended with nothing assured for Council and no input.
.2 She said Council went to bat at one time over a controvesial issue and approved millions of dollars on -
.3 lease that members did not see and this is the same situation. If Council did have some input into the lease
.4 some things could be put in to limit beer sales as well as designating a percentage of the gate going bac
.5 into the stadium for improvements.

1 Councilmember Donat suggested several different routes Council could take tonight on this ordinance which
2 included making amendments,striking it or defeating it.
3
4 Councilmember Allen said the ordinance is only addressing the issue of allowing the sale of beer in McBride
5 Stadium and that is already allowed at Highland Lake Golf Course. She stated that she is not a career
6 politician and that she ran for office after retiring from business because she thought she had something to
7 give back to a community which has been good to her. She said she feels when Councilmembers vote they
8 have to do so either as an agent or a trustee. She said she has always voted for what she thought was in the
9 best interest for the total City of Richmond. She said many people responded to her request for calls and
10 letters and she received more letters for the approval of the ordinance than against it. She added that some
11 say as an agent you should vote for the majority, but, she said, she did not hear from 38,000 people, only
12 250,and most of them were in favor of the ordinance.
13
14 She said most of the citizens want a growing Richmond and the consensus, in her opinion, is that selling
15 beer at the ball game is not going to cause our children to become immoral.-She noted that Council is not
16 voting about the legality of beer because it is already legal. She added that she believes that with guidelines
17 and restrictions a way can be found to allow minor league baseball in Richmond to the benefit and
18 entertainment of all the community.
19
20 Councilmember Dickman said he had received many calls and letters about the issue which, he added, is a
21 difficult one. He read a letter written by a citizen who, he said, sums it all up about how he feels. The letter
22 writer noted that to allow limited beer sales with proper limitations and close supervision could be beneficial
23 to the community. He noted that he is a supporter of the Richmond High School baseball program and the
24 ; beauty of McBride Stadium is a direct result of John Cate's hard work. He continued that now there is an
25 opportunity to improve the stadium and he strongly disagrees that the mere availablity of beer at any of the
26 parks he has been in sends the wrong signs to his children.
27
28 President Parker said the majority of his callers have been in opposition to the ordinance. He noted that he
29 represents the west side of the City and most of the people he heard from live near McBride Stadium. He
30 added that the question about where the money is coming from for the improvements has been left
31 unanswered and he feels the ordinance should have been amended so that it had some type of restriction.
32 He stated that he would be voting against the ordinance.
