He indicated that it takes 12 to 14 weeks to properly train a person to be a dispatcher. Each dispatcher receives$200.00 of longevity pay per year as an added insensitive. The Council Attorney noted that a resent decision came down on the use of beepers under the FLSA and that the City should be aware of this. In response to a question raised by Mr. Egan, it was noted that both Social and Brick and Mortar programs under the resent passage of the Crime Bill are needed in the community. The Council Attorney suggested that in light of the TACT convention being held in the City of South Bend next year, that perhaps the City could showcase the Police Department and some of its many programs as a part of that convention. The Committee thanked Chief Marciniak and his staff for a thorough presentation of their budgets. Mr. Rinard then updated the Committee on several other items. He noted that a "Step in Grade" program for fiscal officers would be utilizes instead of the many reclassifications suggested. He the reviewed the Studebaker Bond issue which in 1994 was $446,113.00 and in 1995 will be $438,113.00. The stadium Bond issue in 1994 in $935,800.00 and in 1995 is proposed $931,900.00 with the last payment being made in 1997. Council Member Coleman suggested that a narrative be prepared on all Bond issues which includes among other things the purpose for the Bond as well as the payoff date. In CCDF in 1994 $664,597.00 were budgeted and in 1995 the request is for $635,000.00. The source of the monies is the 12 cents charge for$100.00 of assessed value. CCIF is basically is the "Smokers Tax" and 1994 the budgeted amount was $626,071.00, and in 1995 is proposed at $623,048.00. PARKING GARAGES 1994 = $482,282.00 1995 = $504,561.00 Mr. Terry Coleman and Mr. Joe Hurbert then joined the Committee representing AMPCO. Handouts were provided setting forth information on the parking garages. Mr.Hurbert reviewed the accesses control, after much discussion there appeared to be a consensus of the Council Members present (Council Member Luecke having left earlier) that a 24 hour access to the parking garages be considered. Currently the Access Program as well as the Stairwell Painting Program are not included in the proposed budget. It was also indicated that the daily summer rate experiment would not be repeated next year. Customer courtesy is the overall goal for the parking garages as well as making them more cost efficient. There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was adjourned at 5:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member Sean Coleman, Chairperson Personnel and Finance Committee Attachments
