Rouse <br />President, Common Council <br />of the City of South Bend <br />400 County City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: APPROPRIATING $120,000.00 FROM LEAF COLLECTION <br />AND REMOVAL FUND NO. 655 FOR THE DISPOSAL <br />COSTS OF PLASTIC BAG SCREENING FROM YARD <br />WASTE MATERIALS <br />Dear Council President Rouse: <br />As a service to its citizens, the City of South Bend regularly collects leaves and other ;yard waste from city <br />residents (Project RELEAF) most of which is gathered by residents in plastic bags. It is necessary to screen <br />the plastic bags from the leaf materials and to dispose separately of the plastic bags. The cost of this plastic <br />bag screening and disposal process in 2007 is $120,000.00. The attached ordinance appropriates the funds <br />for this cost from Leaf Collection and Removal Fllnd #655 for the separation and disposal process. <br />I would ask that the Council consider this ordinance and recommend that you do so favorably. I will make <br />the formal presentation to the Council Committee and at the public hearing. If you have any questions, <br />please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />,~L ~~~ <br />ohn illon, Ph.D. <br />Director, Division of Environmental Services <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Derek D.
