Ordinance No. ~ ~0~~'~~ Substitute Bill No. 90-05 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, MAHING TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS WHICH CLARIFY VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE NO. 9621-OS ADDRESSING THE ANNUAL PAY AND MONETARY FRINGE BENEFITS OF POLICE OFFICERS OF THE SOUTH BEND POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR CALENDAR YEARS 2006, 2007 AND 2008 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT The South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 9621-OS on September 19, 2005. That ordinance addressed the annual pay and monetary fringe benefits of police officers of the South Bend Police Department for calendar years 2006, 2007, 2008. The monetary amounts included in that ordinance were ratified by the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 36 by a vote of 86 to 46 after three days of voting. The Council's Health and Public Safety Committee and the Council's Personnel and Finance Committee held public hearings on the draft ordinance and sent it to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation prior to its passage. Since the passage of Ordinance No. 9621-05, it has come to the Common Council's attention that clarification of the provisions in that ordinance addressing Shift Premium Pays are needed. Proposed changes were discussed by members of the respective negotiating teams representing the City of South Bend and the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 36 on November 17, 2005, November 30, 2005 and on December 6, 2005. The substitute version deletes the dollar amounts previously listed for NEST under "Types of Duty" and addresses NEST pay in the paragraph where K-9 pay is addressed. It also provides a mechanism to make adjustments to programs which will facilitate sick leave and retirement attendance incentives. The following ordinance is believed to be necessary for clarification purposes and is believed to be in the best interests of the City of South Bend, Indiana.
