Bill No. 61-18- Amending the South Bend Municipal Code to add a new Article 14 Establishing Interim Storm Water Utility Rates Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works with offices located on the 13th floor of the County-City Building, stated, We discussed this during our budget presentation, as you may recall. We had submitted Fund #667 which had both a revenue and expense budget and it was contemplated that there would be a separate enabling ordinance that the Council would have to go through and approve. Committee Chair Jake Teshka arrived at the meeting at 4:43 p.m. Committee Chair Teshka's arrival enabled a quorum for the Utilities Committee. Mr. Horvath continued, A lot of these slides will look familiar because you've already seen it through the budget presentation. I will go through it again, pretty quickly, and then we will have time for questions on any of this. So, we not only have a changing climate but we also just have a long time need for storm water improvements. My staff and I hate when it rains because we get inundated with calls. People have flooding in the streets and in their basements and one (1) of the issues we have is that there is no dedicated funding to solving those issues.
