Dcar John:
Following recent editorials in the Fort Wayne Newspapers regarding alnending the
landscape ordinance, I thought. I would send you my thoughts.

Local regulation of the constructio~devclopment industry is legendary in the City of Fort
Wayne and Allen County. During the 1999 mayoral election canlpaign the business
eOlnlnunity listened with anticipation as both candidates for Mayor addressed this issue
of cutting urcd tape'~. After Mayor Richard was elected and an alliance was f01med by
you, Satn Talarico, Jr., and Glynn Hines, again the business cOlunlunity was encouraged.
During public input meetings, it becanle c]ear that the landscape ordinance
would he n10st logical and casiest way to begin cutting this excessive govcnunent
regulation .
It would appear that, presently, the initial efforts of this alliance in cutting excessive
regulations frolll the landscape ordinance is lneeting with opposition. This, T helieve has
serious ranlificati()ns for business and calls into question just how serious government is
about cutting red tape.
Tn its attempt to lure now businesses or the expansion of present businesses in the City of
Fort Wayne and Allen County area, it appears that some govenullent officials just. do not
understand the far reaching impact of local govenunont regulation. It is my belief that
unless elected officials make changes to exjsting burdens, it does very little for the puhlic
entities to aggressively market our community to the outside business world. You can
~llend all the money in the world on marketing the City of Fort Wayne/Al1en County, but
unless local govcrruncnt officials make a concerted effort to make our "intell1ul"
regulations competitive with area counties and states, b~inesscs will locate or expand
elsewhere. Anlending the landscape ordinance is only the tip of the iceberg.
