1400 COUNTY -CITY BUILDING <br />227 W. JEFFERSON BOULEVARD <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 -1830 <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF I.AW <br />ALADEAN M. DERosE <br />Cn- YATTORNEY, AD INTERw <br />June 6, 2012 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />4`" Floor, County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />PHONE 574 / 235 -9241 <br />FAx 574/235 -7670 <br />Re: Ethics Ordinance As to Nepotism in Employment and Contracting Per HEA 1005 <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />In its 2012 session, the Indiana General Assembly passed HEA 1005 which addresses conflicts of <br />interest and nepotism. All cities and towns in the State of Indiana are required to adopt and implement <br />anti nepotism policies in employment and in contracting by July 1, 2012. Failure to do so can result in <br />severe penalties including non - approval of the City's budget and non - approval of appropriations requested <br />after July 1, 2012. <br />On January 1, 2012 Mayor Pete Buttigieg enacted Executive Order 1 -2012 which addresses the <br />two ethical issues covered by HEA 1005. The Executive Order includes grandparent/child level relatives <br />under its restrictions which HEA 1005 does not. The Executive Order also includes City appointees and <br />employees within the scope of its contracting restrictions which HEA 1005 does not. <br />Because the statutes created by HEA 1005 permit the City to enact policies more stringent than <br />those set forth in those _statutes and because Executive Order 1 -2012 reflects a policy of open, honest <br />government, the Ordinance being filed with this letter in compliance with HEA 1005 contains the <br />expanded scope of covered persons as described above. The ordinance was drafted using guidelines and <br />recommendations suggested by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT). <br />I will present this ordinance to the Common Council at its Committee meeting and for public <br />hearing. Please keep in mind that the State has given us no later than July 1 to adopt the policies set forth <br />in this ordinance. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Aladean M. DeRose <br />City Attorney, A.I. <br />AMD /cw <br />Filed pt <br />(gi @_`}u <br />Bl �' P WxWxaf N Ea. 5 '' .sl <br />fJUN € 2U <br />pog <br />CHERYL A. GREENE ANN -CAROL NASH <br />ANDRFA L.
