Beverlie Beck, President <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> 4th Floor Council Chambers <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Dear President Beck: <br /> The enclosed ordinance is being filed for 1st reading of the <br /> May 13 , 1985 Council meeting. The ordinance, which is the result of <br /> earlier reductions in budget appropriations for 1985, reduces <br /> appropriations in the General Fund by $806, 725. 00 and in the Park <br /> Department of the Park Maintenance Fund by $187, 275. 00. <br /> As you will recall, this information was presented to the <br /> Council in January of this year. It would be our intent to make <br /> these reductions through this ordinance and re-appropriate those <br /> monies as is necessary at a later date in 1985. <br /> As the Council is aware, the City' s financial position is <br /> somewhat tentative based on the proposed reductions of federal <br /> funding in the areas of revenue sharing and community development. <br /> The reductions in spending proposed in this ordinance and later <br /> reallocations will afford us the flexibility we need to accomplish <br /> the necessary tasks for the balance of 1985. As an example, at a <br /> later date in 1985, we will be appropriating approximately $350, 000 <br /> to purchase the new Police Department fleet and approximately <br /> $200, 000 to purchase some of the necessary equipment for the upgraded <br /> alley program. <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my <br /> office. <br /> Sincerely, ( / <br /> t:Thnit..4.41,Pt.Michael L.
