Mayor Mueller calls special Common Council meeting on February 6

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - South Bend Mayor James Mueller called a special meeting with the South Bend Common Council on Monday to discuss all items that were on the agenda for the cancelled January 23 meeting.

The January 23 meeting was cancelled because the public was not notified of the meeting in time, according to Common Council President Sharon McBride.

Items on the agenda include the Reparatory Justice resolution, presented by Henry Davis, Jr., which calls on city leaders to initiate efforts to repair racial injustices in the community.

“I’m glad that the Common Council and I have identified a time to move the many important agenda items forward,” said Mayor James Mueller. “Among the items under consideration on Monday will be a resolution to approve financing for transformative projects across our city, including additional funding for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dream Center, Linden Avenue Streetscape, Kennedy Park, Elwood sidewalks, Walker Field, the Beacon Integrative Health and Lifestyle District, and new trail connections.”
