Kernan, Mayor <br /> '‘‘\-* /865; <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> John Voor¢e Ann Puzzello Thomas Zakrzewski <br /> President Vice-President Chairman. Committee of <br /> the Whole <br /> October 5, 1988 <br /> Members of the Common Council <br /> 4th Floor County-City Building <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> The attached Bill is a "housekeeping measure" which would <br /> amend the governing provisions addressing the Common <br /> Council. <br /> I note that in Section 1-2 (a) (7) "Gender" is defined to <br /> mean that "the words used in masculine gender shall include <br /> feminine and neuter". Despite this provision in our <br /> Municipal Code, I believe that terminology such as <br /> "Councilman, Councilmen, and Chairman" should be eliminated. <br /> In reviewing the State law reference, it has been brought to <br /> my attention that Indiana Code Section 36-4-6-2 as well as <br /> other sections of the State law refer to "members of the <br /> legislative body". <br /> I believe that this Bill is more in keeping with the 1980's <br /> and I seek you support. Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ann Puzzello, Chair Person <br /> Personnel and Finance Committee <br /> AP:srk <br /> Attachment <br /> County-City Building • South Bend.
