Appendix B Department of Administration & Finance <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />4 INTER -OFFICE MEMO <br />TO: KAREN L. KIEMNEC, DIRECTOR <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />FROM: MICHAEL L. VANCE <br />CITY CONTROLLER <br />SUBJECT: 1985 BUDGET REQUEST <br />DATE: MAY 17, 1984 <br />I am currently putting together the 1985 budget along with 1985 <br />projected revenue levels. It appears the City will have to trim <br />approximately $4 1/2 million dollars from its budget requests in <br />order to be anywhere in the ballpark as to what we will be able <br />• to fund. I might add that these budget requests do not include <br />any salary increase for 1985. I realize that you have heard this <br />story before, but I am afraid that in light of our current financial <br />situation and the nonrecognition of our problems by the County <br />Council, we will not be able to fund your request for 1985. I <br />might suggest that you contact Jon Hunt to ask if there are any <br />monies available from the Community Development Program. I do <br />not hold much hope for that source either as we have had to <br />absorb expenses normally paid by Community Development in our <br />1985 budget. <br />I believe that the Commission has done good work in the past and <br />provided a needed service to the City, its businesses and <br />resources and with that in mind, I feel particularly sad that we <br />will not be able to grant your request. I might add that we have <br />in the past taken care of some of our part-time positions through <br />the Older Adults Program sponsored through Real Services. I <br />might suggest that you contact Dan Munk at Real Services and see <br />if there is any possibility of providing help for you. <br />If I may be of further help, please feel free to contact my <br />office. <br />MLV/caw <br />
