Gov TR <br /> CF <br /> x x <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> October 2, 2012 <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> Fourth Floor Council Chambers <br /> 400 County-City Building <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Dear Council Member: <br /> The attached bill for your consideration and approval will change the formal name of the <br /> Community& Economic Development Department to the Community Investment Department. <br /> As part of my administration's goal to re-energize the City's approach to improving the quality of <br /> life for all in South Bend, an updated name seems apt. <br /> Instead of suggesting that the roles of community development and economic development are <br /> separate functions, the new title integrates them into a more holistic approach which invites a <br /> broader spectrum of considerations into any policy action. The proposed title, Community <br /> Investment, also reflects the policy position which views applications of community resources as <br /> investments through which we expect to realize a leveraged return for the benefit of our entire <br /> South Bend community. <br /> I will be pleased to present this bill at your October 22'a meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ■ <br /> �a1 in Clerk's ffic <br /> 5 <br /> Pete Buttigieg, Mayor w <br /> City of South Bend �[1'1�CtERKN SOUTH VOOR SEND,IN <br /> 1400 CouNTY-Cm BLULDTNG' 227 W JPFFERSoNT BOULEVARD+ So A 14 BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONP 574/235-9261+ FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
