Nussbaum, II, City Attorney August 7, 1991 Don Niezgodski, President City of South Bend Common Council 4th Floor, County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Coveleski Stadium Fund Ordinance Dear Don: I am submitting for review by the Common Council an Ordinance appropriating $15,000.00 from the Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium Fund to allow for an upgrade of our transformer at Coveleski Stadium. We currently have a 225 KVA transformer on site. During the course of the season, we have had to supplement this transformer due to the fact that a large demand has been placed upon the electrical system at the Stadium due to weather conditions, large attendance requiring that all concession stands be available, and television coverage. It is contemplated that for next season the Stadium Club area will be utilized which will also make additional demands upon the Stadium. Finally, the transformer is now in its fifth year and is in need of maintenance. We propose with this appropriation to install a 300 KVA transformer and a supplemental 75 KVA transformer to meet and exceed any additional electrical demands that are made at the Stadium. The current 225 KVA transformer will remain on site and will be used for emergency and/or future upgrades of the Stadium. This proposal has been reviewed by the Stadium engineers and architects and we are in agreement that this step is needed and is a prudent course of action to take at this time. 1400 County-City Building • South Bend, Indiana 46601 • 219/284-9241 Thomas L.
