Zoning Administrator October 21, 1992 Mr. Stephen Luecke President South Bend Common Council Fourth Floor, County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Amendment to Chapter 6, Article 11, of the South Bend Municipal Code Dear Mr. Luecke: I am attaching for filing a proposed ordinance which would amend the provisions of Chapter 6, Article 11, of the South Bend Municipal Code relating to the registration of building contractors. There are only two changes proposed and they are as follows: 1. This ordinance adds a section to Article 11 which requires each registration applicant to provide a surety bond in the amount of $5,000.00. This bond is conditioned upon faithful compliance with the provisions of the building code as it relates to the work performed by the applicant; and 2. The enclosed ordinance also changes the effective date of code provisions relating to the pre-licensing registra- tion of building contractors to January 1, 1993 . As you know, the current effective date of the building contractor registration ordinance is November 1, 1992. We needed to move this date out at least one month in order to make the surety bond provisions effective for all registrants this year. Since it now appears that my department will be moving to a new location on or about the first of December, we are asking that the applicability of the registration provisions be delayed for one additional month, to January 1, 1993.
