•CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Mr. Perri replied, Thank you. Mr. Perri continued, I have two (2)more slides that I'll go through (referencing the presentation). These won't probably invoke a lot of questions because there are very few changes. Here the axillary funds, Fund #751. It's page thirty-two (32) and thirty-three (33). This was a 2015 Park Bond out at the Charles Black Center. That was the last project we had. That's all closed out so you won't see any expenses there other than paying the debt service which is Fund #757. That's about $380,000 a year paid from EDIT, Economic Development Income Taxes. The 2017 Park Bond,no changes there either. We're paying about$1 million annually on that debt service. That's coming from a special property tax levy that normally funded the College Football Hall of Fame. Coveleski,it is still officially Coveleski Stadium but now Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium, that's how it shows up, and that's page twenty-seven (27) of your packet. This is where we record the revenues from the ticket share agreement. We spend approximately all of that every year on various capital projects in and around the building. That's what that fund is. Fund#730 is the City Cemetery. That's page thirty (30) of your packet. We're on year two (2) of three (3) of major upgrades out there. If you haven't been there lately there are new paths, the redevelopment of the entryway and all the limestone headstone repairs are really starting to improve that property. He went on,Then finally Fund#731 is the Bowman Cemetery. You'll notice a pretty healthy cash balance. That's a trust account that we can't spend anywhere other than Bowman Cemetery. We currently don't really have any needs out there. That's over there on Miami. Currently they don't have any needs out there so that fund will continue to accrue until if and when we have some needs in and around the cemetery. It will be well taken care of. Then the final two (2) accounts you'll see there are Funds#203 and#405. They're included for historical accuracy. There's nothing in them. There wasn't in 2019. There won't be any going forward. Again, those are consolidated into that page twenty-three(23) that I mentioned earlier. He continued, Finally, we were asked to just discuss any major capital projects. We're embarking on a two (2) year plan to work on all of the neighborhood athletic courts. These are basketball courts, tennis courts, softball fields, things like that, that you see are in dire need of upgrades. So, we'll embark on that next year to really finish the My SB Parks&Trails project. So,this has taken a little bit longer for some of these to get out of the gate than we might have hoped for various reasons,but that's the list of ones that will be finished in 2020. The only remaining project will be Seitz Park. That's lagging a little bit behind because of the Notre Dame hydroelectric project. But we're finally breaking ground on that this coming Monday. If you haven't seen an invite that should be showing up in your inboxes pretty quick. Howard Park I had mentioned earlier,that's scheduled to wrap up by the end of this year. If you'll notice in our Fund #201, we do have a very, very healthy cash balance that far exceeds our reserve requirement.That's because we haven't allocated all of the Howard Park spending. You're going to see that in quarter three(3) appropriations. Just reminding you now. We'll talk about it in quarter three (3), but there's about $2.9 million of that that's going to be appropriated in quarter three(3)to finish out Howard Park.Then Jeff had already touched on planning for the future venues. I don't see significant cash coming out.We didn't budget that here in 2020,but we do want to make sure that continues to get footnoted,the future of Century Center and the major initiatives around the next one-hundred (100) years. Councilmember McBride asked, Where are we with Randolph?
