CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />STEPHEN J. LUECKE, MAYOR <br />OFFICE OF THE~/IA.YOR <br />Vctobber 6, 2010 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />227 W. Jefferson Blvd, Suite 400 S <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear South Bend Common Council: <br />The City of South Bend has completed their final review of the St. Joseph Multi-Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan and believes it to be in compliance with the requirements from Disaster <br />Mitigation Act of 2000. <br />Beginning in 2009, South Bend has partnered jointly with other local units of government <br />in St. Joseph County for the creation of a Plan that gives clear direction on long-term plans that <br />can reduce the impact of future natural disasters. <br />We all recognize the threat that natural disasters pose to people and property. <br />Furthermore, the City understands that by undertaking hazard mitigation actions before a disaster <br />occurs, it will reduce the potential harm to people and property while saving tax-payer dollars. <br />I would ask that the South Bend Common Council review and adopt this plan on behalf of the <br />City of South Bend. The approval of this Plan is not an indication that the actions described will <br />or can be automatically funded but without a Plan the City is ineligible for future grant funding <br />for mitigation prof ects through FEMA. <br />Sincerely, <br />Stephen J. Luecke _._-- <br />Mayor ~t~^'~ ~n ~i~l'~'~ ~~~9~0 <br />OCT - 7 2010 <br />COUNTY-CITY BUILDING • 227 W. JEFFERSON BOULEVARD • SOUTH <br />PHONE 574/235-9261• Fnx 574/235-9892 <br />
