<br />Councilmember Karen White, Chair of the Personnel and Finance Committee, reported that they
<br />met this afternoon and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation.
<br />Dan Parker, City Controller with offices located on the 12`h floor of the County -City Building,
<br />South Bend, IN, served as the presenter for this bill. Mr. Parker stated, Bill No. 57-19 is our
<br />additional appropriations bill for the Civil City Funds. These are Governmental Funds. There were
<br />two (2) changes made from the original bill that went through first (I") reading and then the
<br />substitute version, and those are highlighted in yellow on page one (1). The first (1'� are two (2)
<br />additional appropriations requested for repairs related to the 2018 flood along the river walks and
<br />the East Bank Trail. And those and those are in are supported by new revenue category because
<br />we do expect insurance proceeds to come in to cover the cost of those. And then the second (2°d)
<br />one (1) is right below there in the Local Road and Bridge Grant, and that is for Community Cost
<br />and Grant Fund. This was in the original bill, but it was in there at an amount of $1.1 million, and
<br />we reduced that to $781,000 to reflect the amount of the bid that we received for that particular
<br />project. So, this is an increase to the Community Crossing Street Projects, which is fifty percent
<br />(50%) matched by the City. Just in terms of other general comments about the bill itself, it's in our
<br />four (4) main categories for additional appropriations. Unanticipated expenses are items that were
<br />not anticipated in the 2019 budget, supported by new revenue items that we have gotten new grant
<br />or insurance proceeds for. Capital projects are one (1)-time appropriation that will carry forward
<br />until those capital projects are completed. And then administrative items are generally accounting
<br />changes or moving money from one fund to another. I'm happy to answer any specific questions
<br />that you may have.
<br />Councilmember John Voorde opened the floor to questions from Council Members. There were
<br />none.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. There were none.
<br />Councilmember Tim Scott made a motion to send Substitute Bill No. 57-19 to the full Council with
<br />a favorable recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Dr. Oliver Davis and
<br />carried with a voice vote of eight (8) ayes.
