REGULAR MEETING September 24, 2018 and most of those are clean-up items. As we worked on the 2019 budget we realized some items, especially in the road funding area, needed to be reduced based on having to repay some State funds we received because projects came in under budget. Councilmember Oliver Davis asked, Projects coming in under budget, then what happens? Ms. Hockenhull replied, It related to the Safe Routes to School Projects. It happened in 2017 and we did the work in 2018 but the project came in under what we had though we were going to get. The State had given us money to begin with so we had to reimburse the money back to them. It was a fifty-fifty(50-50) match grant. We can't use that money for anything else. Councilmember Oliver Davis stated, Ok, I'm at peace. This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. None from the public wished to speak in favor of or opposition to this bill. Councilmember Tim Scott made a motion to send Bill No. 42-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Councilmember Karen White seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. 43-18 PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, FOR BUDGET TRANSFERS FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA FOR THE YEAR 2018 Councilmember Karen White, chair of the Personnel and Finance Committee, reported that they met this afternoon and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation. Jen Hockenhull, City Controller for the City of South Bend with offices located on the 12th floor of the County-City Building, South Bend, IN, served as presenter of this bill. Ms. Hockenhull stated, Before you is the third(3`d) quarter budget transfer request. If we have needs for money in a different category but it is not an additional request it shows up on this form. They allow us to move money within the three(3)different categories set forth by the State and those are Personnel, Services and Supplies. We are moving some funds between those different categories. The only large one (1) on here relates to EMS Capital. Unfortunately on here it says Century Center Capital Fund but the fund number is accurate, Fund #287. That is related to moving money between Services and Capital. This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. None from the public wished to speak in favor of or opposition to this bill. Councilmember Tim Scott made a motion to send Bill No. 43-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation.
