John E. Leszczynski <br />Director, Public Works <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND. INDIANA 46601 <br />Division of <br />Engineering <br />May 5, 1981 <br />Members of the <br />441 County -City <br />South Bend, IN <br />Common Council <br />Building <br />46601 <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />(219) 284 -9251 <br />The attached is a proposed ordinance requesting that a reduction be made <br />in the budget of the Bureau of Streets within the Motor Vehicle Highway <br />Fund. The State Board of Tax Commissioners overestimated the appropriation <br />of funds from the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund for fiscal year 1981, there- <br />fore, the Commission has ordered the City of South Bend to reduce the <br />Bureau of Streets' budget by $159,697.00. <br />The decrease of $125,000.00 from the "Other Contractuals" account brings <br />this balance to zero (0). This reduction is allowable by cancellation of <br />the sweeping contract. The reduction in the "Rents" account is a deduction <br />of the rental on the warehouse the City rents for storage of salt. A <br />portion of the rent on this warehouse is now being paid from the contractual <br />account in the Cumulative Capital Improvement Fund. The balance in the <br />"Rents" account after the reduction is $7,470.00. The "Safety Account" <br />is used for the rental of barricades and the purchase of bombs and warning <br />lights, protective eye gear, gloves and other safety equipment. The de- <br />crease of $8,167.00 leaves a balance of $13,766.26 in this account. <br />Your favorable consideration is requested on this proposed ordinance. If <br />you should have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me <br />at your earliest convenience. <br />Very truly yours, <br />ohn E. Leszczynski <br />Director <br />JEL /mkm <br />Attachment <br />
