This effort underwent an analysis by HVS Consulting with the cooperation and input of <br /> the Civic Center Board of Managers,the Hotel Motel Tax Board, Visit South Bend Mishawaka, and <br /> current venue management. The results,which were delivered at a public meeting on August 29, 2017, <br /> project an annual savings of over$200,000 and align a public private partnership for optimal care of the <br /> venues and customer experience. <br /> These efforts were unanimously approved at the Civic Center Board of Managers meeting on November <br /> 15, 2017. Current SMG employees and executive leadership have been involved with this process since <br /> last summer and all impacted employees were notified of pending changes in early December. <br /> The ordinance before you is necessary to create new positions within the city's salary ordinance, <br /> however,these are not net new positions to the city's budget. The associated dollars were included and <br /> approved in the 2018 budget. As a result of the new management structure, eight employees will shift <br /> from contracted labor to the city workforce on April 2nd of this year. Each employee will be transferred <br /> to the city at compatible salary and benefit levels. This ordinance adds four titles and changes one title. <br /> The remainder of the positions fit within the existing salary ordinance. Thank you for your <br /> consideration. I will attend the committee and council meetings to present. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Aaron erri—Executive Director,VPA <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY i INNOVATION ( INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br />
