CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committee Chair White asked, Can you give us some feedback in regard to that money received from the Pokagon Band? I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of how those funds have been allocated. Mr. Parker replied, Yes, so, this $2.225 million is the money for Howard Park specifically. That money is going to be received over the next four (4) to five (5) years. We've gotten $445,000 in from that and that is the first (1St) payment of five (5) that will add up to the total. There is also a $500,000 donation they are making toward the Bowman Creek project and we've gotten$100,000, and that is also the first(1st) of five (5)payments for that. Committeemember Jo M. Broden stated, The account numbers and account names are the same. Is,there a sub-number or some other detail, since this is a transfer? Mr. Parker clarified, For the Pokagon donation? Committeemember Broden replied, Yeah. Mr. Parker replied, The reason it is a different division of Parks and Recreation is, so we can separate that money and track it separately. It is#1101 versus#1150. Committeemember Broden stated, Sorry, my error. I apologize. Committee Chair White then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to this legislation. There were none. She then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Broden made a motion to send Bill No. 07-19 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Regina Williams-Preston seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. Bill No. 08-19- March 2019 Appropriation Ordinance- Civil City Funds Mr. Parker stated, Again, if you flip to the detail portion of this, unlike the previous bill, this actually does increase appropriations, and this is for the Civil City Funds as opposed to the Enterprise Funds. So, what we've done this time is split up the additional appropriations request into four (4) buckets. The first (1st) bucket is unanticipated expenses, which is what you would imagine additional appropriation requests are. Those are expenses that were not known at the time of the 2019 budget development and have developed since that budget development. The second (2"d) bucket is supported by new revenue. So, these are expenses related to new grants we have received in since our 2019 budget was developed. The two (2) largest items on there are related to lead grants, a Federal lead grant and a State lead grant we got. So, all those are doing is allowing us to spend the money we received from those grants. The third (3rd) bucket on there is capital projects. So, when we budget capital projects, we know the total amount of the capital project we want to expend,but it's difficult sometimes to know how much we will spend in 2019 versus 2018. So, all of these capital projects have already been approved. They are all related to the My SB Parks &Trails Initiative. The last bucket on there is what I call Administrative Items and, similar to capital projects, these are all items that were budgeted for in 2018 but were not expended in 2018 and they need to be carried forward into the 2019 budget.
