Board members discussed the following items from that list: -Addition to the Agenda Mr. Bodnar noted the addition of an Amended Resolution No. 43-2007, establishing the 2008 holiday schedule for the South Bend Police Department. Section III of the Resolution lists the holidays for officers assigned to the South Bend Community School Corporation. Mr. Bodnar stated this was not included in the original resolution. These officers follow a different holiday schedule from the rest of the Police Department, and that schedule is based on the school corporation's teacher's holiday schedule. Those officers assigned to the school corporation get two extra holidays. - Retirements -Police Department Chief Fautz noted that ten retirements in the Police Department are a result of the Drop Program. He stated the program is a good idea, even though it creates a large number of vacancies at once. - Letter of Understanding -Police Department Mr. Bodnar stated that the original Letter of Understanding was agreed upon on June 11, 2007, sent out to various parties for approval, and lost in the process. The Letter has now been re-done with the original terms addressing the amount of the insurance rebate for those officers not using the City's insurance, and the dates of the School Resource Officer's holidays, which is also addressed in the amended Resolution No. 43-2007.
