The ordinance <br /> passed provided funding up to December 31, 2011, <br /> City Administration informed Council during the committee discussion and at the Council meeting, the <br /> 2012 budget adopted by Council did not contemplate monies to fund the illegal dumping clean-up crew in <br /> fiscal 2012, and therefore, Council action on a new appropriation would be required to fund the <br /> continuation of the illegal dumping clean-up in 2012. <br /> As such, City Administration now presents the attached spending appropriation bill to the Common <br /> Council to appropriate additional funds to enable clean-up of certain illegal dumping within the city <br /> footprint during the 2012 budget year, commencing on January 1, 2012, <br /> The City requests with this appropriation, the sum of $130,000 for the funding of 2, 2-man crews within <br /> the Solid Waste Department operation, to perform the clean-up activities. The monies appropriated will <br /> cover personnel costs for the crews, equipment operation costs (fuel and repair), landfill tipping fees and <br /> other miscellaneous expense. This appropriation will provide funding to operate the additional crew <br /> through the end of June 2012. <br /> The clean-up program will be evaluated by City Administration and the Council during the second quarter <br /> 2012, to make determination of program success, and to determine whether the program will continue in <br /> the second half of 2012. <br /> The funds will be appropriated from the General Fund, Code Enforcement Department, and reimbursed to <br /> the Solid Waste Fund, whose employees will perform the clean-up activities. <br /> County-City Building 227 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend,Indiana 46601-1830 <br /> Phone: 574/235-9216 Fax: 574/235-9928 TDD: 574/235-5567 �' <br />
