One of the managerial level employees included in Ordinance No. 10119-11 is the "Center Supervisor" of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center (MLK Center), the salary for which position in Ordinance No. 10119-11 is $40,352.00 annually. The education, guidance, and development of South Bend's youth is a high priority of this City, and the Supervisor of the MLK Center is uniquely positioned to know about all youth programs in the community, to interact with other community leaders serving the City's youth, and to expand the programs and activities of the MLK Center, especially for those youth with fewer family resources who may be at risk of violence, school drop-out, and other adverse conditions affecting young persons. As part of the city's overall goal of eradicating youth violence, and assuring that South Bend's youth are prepared for their future as responsible citizens, it is in the best interest of South Bend to restructure the "Center Supervisor" position of the MLK Center and create a new position and title with additional duties and responsibilities. The new position will be titled "Director of Youth Engagement-- Center Supervisor," the single position of "Center Supervisor" for the MLK Center will be eliminated and the compensation of the Director of Youth Engagement — Center Supervisor will have annual compensation of $50,250.00 (which exceeds the Center Supervisor salary by $9,898.00 annually). This Ordinance, which is in the best interest of South Bend, amends Ordinance No. 10119-11 to make these changes. Monies in General Fund (##10 1) from Parks Dept Zoo Division Account will be transferred to the Parks & Recreation Division Account to cover the cost of the salary increase in 2012. The overall appointed officers and non-bargaining employee salary appropriation is unaffected. NOW, TI-IERI FORE 13E IT ORDAINED BY TIIE COMMON COUNCIL OF CITY OF SOUTI-I BEND, INDIANA as follows:
