PAL ROBERT M. NAGLE Asst. Bldg. Commissioner Asst. Zoning Administrator June 2, 1992 Mr. Stephen Luecke President, South Bend Common Council 4th Floor County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Mr. Luecke: I am attaching for filing a proposed ordinance which would amend Ordinance 8228-91, governing the registration of building contractors in the City of South Bend, by changing its effective date from July 1, 1992 to November 1, 1992. Ordinance No. 8228-91 was passed by the Common Council on November 25, 1991. It provides for registration of all building contractors within the City by July 1, 1992. It also provides a timetable for implementation of a licensing procedure for building contractors that takes place between January, 1993 and July 1, 1994. The change that is proposed in this ordinance would delay the registration of building contractors for four months, from July 1, 1992 to November 1, 1992. It would not, however, affect the timetable that was contained in the ordinance relative to the institution of licensing procedures at later specified dates. The reasons that I am requesting this delay in implementation of the registration of building contractors are as follows: 1 . As you know, the St. Joseph County and City of South Bend Building Departments were consolidated in January of this year. I now have twice as many people working out of the same area on the 7th Floor of the County-City Building. We had anticipated that new, larger quarters would be found for the Building Department shortly after the consolidation occurred. Unfortunately, that has not yet happened.
