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 22nd meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �4 <br /> Filed In Cte ' Office, <br /> I oc <br /> Pete Buttigieg,Mayor <br /> C3x012 I <br /> City of South Bend JOHN y "" <br /> CITY CLERK,SOUTH REND,IN <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD• SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br /> J(l <br />
