CITY of SOUTH BEND PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND. INDIANA 46601 Peter H. Mullen 219/284 -9742 Director, Administration and Finance September 19, 1979 Members of the Council South Bend Common Council 4th Floor County City Bldg. Dear Council Members, Attached is a resolution accepting a gift of up to $380,000.00 from the Messel - Ellisen Trust and the Stanley A. and Flora P. Clark Community Trust. This grant was graciously offered to the City of South Bend through the trust department of the National Bank. Contingent upon the $380,000.00 grant is the fact that the City must match $100,000.00. As a result of this action this resolution is being submitted to resolve to appropriate $100,000.00 from 1980's Revenue Sharing. It is my intent to submit a Revenue Sharing or- dinance to the Council for lst reading the last meeting in 1979, with lst reading and public hearing the lst meeting in 1980. However, as a result of weather, increasing inflation, and other time re- straints, it is necessary for the Council to indicate their pref- erence on the receipt of the $380,000.00 grant and the appropriation of $100,00.00 from 1980's Revenue Sharing. Your approval of this resolution is requested. ery ul`e urs , Peter H. Mullen City Controller PHM /pjk
