She complained that she has been promised that 62 action would taken since last April. Ms. Grey does not believe that anything is being done to rectify the 63 situation and she would like some action from the City. 64 65 1I8 Common Council Minutes Cont'd Sept.6, 1988 Page 2 1 Councilmember Morris replied that it was her understanding that a 30 day notice was sent to that business 2 and that would expire on September 10, 1988. Ms. Morris questioned Mr. Barden about what will happen on 3 that expiration date. 4 5 Mr. Barden addressed this matter stating that the area is properly zoned for that business and the only thing 6 that prohibits him from running a commercial operation is that the building does not meet State Building Code 7 requirements. He does have a request with the State Building Council for approval of plans to remodle that 8 building. The State Building Council will report back on Sept. 10 at which point he can be closed down if he 9 does not comply with State Code. 10 11 Councelmember Morris stated that he is not zoned properly for a parts or wrecking yard. 12 13 Councilmember Elstro questioned Mr. Barden as to why he has not been shut down until he gets the proper 14 approval . Mr. Barden stated that the owner has been cooperating with local and State Officials and that a 15 grace period has been allowed as would be with any other business in question. 16 17 Councilmember Morris requested that Planning Director , Dan Dooley approach the council to answer 18 questions concerning the procedure in this matter . Mr. Dooley stated if the owner has filed plans with the 19 State Building Council to convert a residential accessory building to a commercial garage that his office will 20 receive a design released by the State authorizing construction to go ahead. If the Planning Office does not 21 have the design release by Friday, September 10, 1988 it will be a position to work with the attorneys office 22 and ask them to be closed down. Mr. Dooley also stated that the area is zoned C-4 which complies for a body 23 shop business but not for a parts or junk yard. Mr. Dooley will investigate on Friday to see that there is no 24 zoning violation. 25 26 27 RESOLUTIONS 28 29 RESOLUTION NO. 12-1988 30 31 Council President Morris requested that Resolution No. 12-1988 be read in its entirety 32 33 The Clerk read Resolution No. 12-1988 -A RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS 34 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE RICHMOND, INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL RED DEVIL MARCHING BAND. 35 WHEREAS; the Richmond High School Red Devil Marching Band has just won the Indiana State Fair 36 Marching Band Competition, and is the NUMBER ONE Marching Band in Indiana; 37 WHEREAS; the band has provided the citizens of Richmond, Indiana, with untold hours of pleasurable 38 entertainment and appreciation of its remarkable talent, and; 39 WHEREAS; the band member have served as ambassadors for the City of Richmond, Indiana, brought 40 positive Statewide and National attention to the City of Richmond, and aided in the economic development 41 effort of the community, and; 42 WHEREAS; their decorum and dedication has paid the finest tribute to their home town and instilled the 43 fiercest sense of pride in the citizens of Richmond, Indiana. 44 45 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Richmond that the Richmond 46 High School Red Devil Marching Band has the unending appreciation and respect of its home town for the 47 joy they have provided us all; and has brought honor to Richmond High School on its fiftieth anniversary. 48 49 Councilmember Elstro made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 12-1988 seconded by Councilmember Parker 50 and on a unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 51 52 RESOLUTION NO. 13-1988 53 54 Council President Morris requested that Resolution No. 13-1988 be read in its entirety. 55 56 The Clerk read Resolution No. 13-1988 -A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE USE OF HATRED, FEAR 57 AND VIOLENCE TO PROMOTE RACISM. 58 WHEREAS,the Declaration of Independence declares that"All men are created equal";and, 59 WHEREAS,the first purpose of the Constitution of the United States, as stated in its preamble,was In order 60 to form a more perfect union"; and, 61 WHEREAS, the United States has grown to a position of world leadership and poses as a champion of 62 freedom and equality for all people;and, 63 WHEREAS, despite these facts, bigotry, intolerance and divisiveness still exist, as evidenced by recent 64 events nationally, state wide, and locally, 65 Common Council Minutes Cont'd Sept.6, 1988 Page 3 1 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Richmond, Indiana as follows: 2 We abhor racism in every form, particularly as expressed by racists groups who we will always discourage from 3 congregating in our streets to espouse their hatred to Richmond citizens. 4 We affirm the right of all racial and ethnic minorities and oppressed people to assume their just and equal rights 5 as members of society. 6 We condemn and reject the use of hatred,fear and violence to subjugate portions of society by any organized 7 group or individual.

Chief Nimitz addressed the Council 24 reading a letter as follows: 25 26 August 15, 1988 27 28 Over the past several years the Richmond Police Department has been checking vehicle identification 29 numbers free of any charge. Old Indiana Code provided that law enforcement agencies may charge up to 30 $3.00 for this service. Approximately two years ago an attempt was made by asking if it would be possible 31 that an ordinance be passed allowing the Richmond Police Department to charge the $3.00 fee. At that 32 particular time the feed back given to me was that this probably would not pass in ordinance form,that this 33 was a service that should be done by the department. Last year , in 1987 , I was part of a contingent that 34 asigned the decision in initiating a revision of the Indiana Code in reference to the fees charged for checking 35 identification numbers for license plate purchase. I in fact did testify at a sub committee in reference to this bill. 36 Two desenters, being the Indiana New Car Dealers Association and the Indiana Records Association, spoke 37 against the bill. After I and several other chiefs in the state spoke in favor of the bill, the bill left the sub 38 committee by a unanimous vote and from there was eventually passed as Indiana Code 9-1-2-1. It is now 39 permitted for law enforcement agencies, relative to this statute, may charge not in excess of$5.00 for every 40 vehicle identification number checked. Obviously we have not been doing this. My purpose in this 41 communication is to ask that we do. In 1984 the Richmond Police Department 1,331 identification numbers, 42 in 1985 we checked 1,226, in 1986 1,370 and in 1987 we checked 1,392. Respectfully, charging $3.00 for 43 1984 thru 1987 we have lost in 1984$3,993.00, in 1985 $3,678.00 in 1986 $4,110.0 in 1987 $4,176.00. 44 We are projecting in excess of 1,400 identification numbers being checked with the projected revenue 45 income, if passed at$5.00 of$7,000. May I also add that these are specifically the calls that officers respond 46 to. This does not include the probability of two or three persons a day entering the building and having an 47 officer on duty check the numbers . As you can see , we could probably ad another$5,000. of generated 48 income if we charge$5.00. The 1989 projected revenue could be in excess of $12,000 . I imagine that this 49 statistic would drop in that people would not want to pay $5.00 and go to another law enforcement agency , 50 be it the County or Indiana State Police. However, speaking as recently as yesterday,two other chiefs who 51 do have a fee for this service , have indicated that other agencies either have adopted the same statute or 52 the agency has refused to check identification numbers since it is not in their jurisdiction. With various 53 revenues either being cut completely or severly restricted, I think it would be prudent that in fact an ordinance 54 should be established permitting the Richmond Police Department to charge this $5.00 fee. The 55 methodology used would be something very similar to that of parking tickets. No member of the Richmond 56 Police Department would be able to accept any fee relative to $5.00 for checking VIN . A receipt type 57 accountability could be issued to a person by the officer with a copy given to the City Clerk's Office at which 58 time that person could be billed or come in to pay that fee. Your cooperation in this matter would greatly be 59 appreciated. Should you need further information please feel free to contact me. 60 61 Councilmember Hankinson questioned Chief Nimitz regarding when it would be necessary for a person to 62 have a VIN checked. 63 64 Chief Nimitz responded that when a person establisheds a residence in the State of Indiana from out of State 65 it is required title transfer. A car license may not be obtained for an out of state vehicle without this check being done. The Chief indicated that any vehicle purchased out of state is required to be titled in Indiana and this is common procedure in most states. • Common Council Minutes Cont'd Sept 6, 1988 Page 5 1 2 Council member Paust inquired of the Chief if he is willing to cut his budget by the amount of the projected 3 income from this procedure.The response was No. 4 5 Councilmember Parker questioned where the revenue from this charge would be credited. The Chief 6 indicated this would be put in the Police Dept.Training Fund. 7 8 Council member Paust voiced concern on the method of collection procedure and cost of sending bills to 9 people for collection. Chief Nimitz responded that he has spoken to Clerk Mary Merchanthouse about this 10 and she indicated that a preprinted form could be issued to the person upon the inspection and they would 11 be directed to go to the Clerk's office to make payment. The officers would not be responsible for handling 12 any money. 13 14 Councilmember Hankinson indicated that he feels this will be an extra load for the Clerk's Office and feels it is 15 totally unnecessary. 16 17 Councilmember Hankinson moved to engross Ordinance No. 60-1988 seconded by Councilmember Elstro 18 and on a unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 19 20 Councilmember Williams moved to suspend the rules and read Ordinances No.60-1988 on final reading by 21 title only,seconded by Councilmember Elstro and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 22 23 The Clerk read Ordinance No.60-1988 by title only,on third and final reading. 24 25 Councilmember Parker stated that he disapproved of sending a car out to check VIN and thinks the vehicle 26 should be brought to the station to be checked. 27 28 Ordinance No. 60-1988 was adopted on the following roll call vote. 29 30 Ayes: Elstro,Williams, Parker, Hutton, Paust, Morris (6) 31 Nays:Hankinson,McBride (2) 32 Absent: Brookbank(1) 33 34 35 TRANSFER ORDINANCE NO. 61-1988 36 37 The Clerk read Transfer Ordinance No. 61-1988. on first reading by title only,-AN ORDINANCE TO 38 TRANSFER WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND. 39 40 Councilmember Elstro moved to suspend the rules on Transfer Ordinance No. 61-1988 and move it to 41 second reading and read by title only seconded by Councilmember Hutton and on a unanimous voice vote 42 the motion wasd carried. 43 44 The Clerk read Transfer Ordinance No. 61-1988 on second reading by title only,-AN ORDINANCE TO 45 TRANSFER WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND. 46 47 Speaking for Transfer Ordinance No. 61-1988 was Police Chief Joe Nimitz who indicated that a letter of 48 explanation had been given each councilmember. 49 50 Councilmember Elstro questioned the Chief concerning the use of extra gas because the vehicles are now 51 being taken home by officers. The Chief responded that this is correct. Councilmember Elstro responded 52 that he sisagrees with this procedure. 53 54 President Morris announced the Ordinance was on public hearing. 55 56 Councilmember Hankinson moved to engross Ordinance No. 61-1988 seconded by Councilmember Elstro 57 and on a unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 58 59 Councilmember Williams moved to suspend the rules and read Ordinances No.61-1988 on final reading by 60 title only, seconded by Councilmember Elstro and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 61 62 The Clerk read Ordinance No. 61-1988 by title only,on third and final reading. 63 64 Ordinance No. 60-1988 was adopted on the following roll call vote. 65 Ayes: Williams,McBride,Parker, Hutton, Paust, Morris (6) Nays:Elstro, Hankinson (2) Absent: Brookbank(1) Common Council Minutes Cont'd Sept.6, 1988 Page 6 1 ORDINANCE NO. 62-1988 2 3 The Clerk read on first reading by title only Ordinance No. 62-1988 - AN ORDINANCE GRANTING 4 PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT UNIT PROJECT IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL 5 DISTRICT ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF CHESTER BOULEVARD IN THE 2500 6 BLOCK PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 31, 45 AND 48 OF CHAPTER 154 OF THE CODE OF REDINANCES, 7 COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, INDIANA. 8 9 President Morris announced this ordinance will be assigned to the Plan Commission for Public Hearing. 10 11 ORDINANCE NO. 63-1988 12 13 The Clerk read on first reading by title only Ordinance No.63-1988-AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 14 30 OF CHAPTER 154 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, BEING ORDINANCE NO. 2325-1968, COMMONLY 15 KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, INDIANA. 16 17 President Morris announced this ordinance will be assigned to the Plan Commission for Public Hearing. 18 19 ORDINANCE NO. 64-1988 20 21 The Clerk read on first reading by title only Ordinance No. 64-1988 - - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING 22 CHAPTER 154 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, BEING ORDINANCE NO. 2325-1968,COMMONLY KNOWN AS 23 THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, INDIANA, PROVIDING FOR THE REZONING OF 24 THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2000 U.S. HIGHWAY 27 SOUTH, FROM R-2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 25 DISTRICT TO C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. 26 27 President Morris announced this ordinance will be assigned to the Plan Commission for Public Hearing. 28 29 ORDINANCE NO. 65-1988 30 31 The Clerk read on first reading by title only Ordinance No. 65-1988- -AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 32 CITY CODE BY ADDING SECTION 74.36(E)AS IT CONCERNS THE PARKING OF SCHOOL BUSES. 33 34 Speaking in favor of the ordinance was Mel Bruns, Director of Operations for Richmond Community Schools. 35 Mr. Bruns asked the Council to consider this amendment to the code which would permit the parking of 36 school buses on city streets during school hours when school is in session. Mr. Bruns explained it would be 37 a hardship on bus drivers to have to return to the bus garage which is located about 7 miles from the centr of 38 town. There is also a cost factor in that extra fuel is required to bring buses back to the garage after each trip. 39 A contengent of school bus drivers was present to support this ordinance. 40 41 Councilmember Elstro questioned Mr. Bruns as to why the buses could not be parked at the local schools or 42 other off street locations. Mr. Bruns responded that the school lots are full with staff parking in most cases. 43 44 Councilmember Paust questioned Mr. Bruns as to whether the location of the present garage facility was 45 considered to be a travel problem when it was purchased?Mr. Bruns did not have an answer. 46 47 Speaking in opposition to the ordinance was William Grotendick, 3223 Forest Dr. Mr. Grotendick stated that 48 he lives in the Glen Hill Addition and that he measured the Street to be 27 feet from curb to curb. The School 49 bus is approximately 8 feet and a full size car is 7 feet that leaves about 12 feet which makes it impossible for 50 two cars to pass if a bus and a car are parked across from each other. It becomes a real hazard to traffic and 51 pedestrians. In addition to that it also is believed to lower property values in the area. Mr. Grotendick also 52 questioned the value of allowing a bus to park when another vehicle of the same width would not be 53 permitted to park.Other alternatives should be explored for parking the buses. 54 55 Also speaking in opposition to the ordinance was Georgia Hammond 3503 Glen Hills Dr. ; Tracy Robinson, 56 529 S.W.18th St.; Wayne Tolen 3419 Glen Hills Dr.; Dr. Richard Siebert, 3137 Forrest Dr. ; Mary Siebert, 57 3137 Forrest Dr.A big concern with these people is the safety of children crossing streets and being blinded 58 by the buses. 59 60 Councilmember Hankinson stated that he has had numerous phone calls requesting him to vote against this 61 ordinance. 62 63 Councilmember Elstro made a motion to strike Ordinance No. 65-1988 seconded by Councilmember 64 Hankinson and on a unanimous voice vote with Councilmember McBride voting no,the motion was passed. 65 12,3 Common Council Minutes Cont'd • Sept.6, 1988 Page 7 1 ORDINANCES ON SECOND READING 2 f 3 (APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE NO. 54-1988 4 5 The Clerk read on second reading Appropriation Ordinance No. 54-1988 - AN ORDINANCE TO 6 APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE CONTINUING EDUCATION FUND. 7 8 Mr. Barden examined the Proof of Publication and found it to be in order.
