Potawatomi Zoo Resolution Supporting a Public Private Partnership <br /> Page 2 <br /> �'Al xne,; the Common Council recognizes that a Public Private Partnership between the City of <br /> South Bend and the Potawatomi Zoological Society provides an excellent opportunity for the zoo to <br /> maintain its AZA accreditation; would also enable the establishment of a "best-practices management <br /> model that would be fiscally sustainable" and in the best interests of the City of South Bend, Indiana. <br /> ✓Q n d®lBFaW#&4 by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: <br /> Section 1. The Common Council has had the opportunity to review the proposed Public Private <br /> Partnership between the City of South Bend, Indiana and the Potawatomi Zoological Society which the <br /> City Administration has been studying for several months. <br /> Section II. The Council believes that so long as the City employees working at the Potawatomi <br /> Zoo have the opportunity to maintain their salaries and financial benefits, including the opportunity to be <br /> a member of a union, that the projected benefits of such an arrangement would enable the Potawatomi <br /> Zoo to become a world-class zoo which offers exceptional and outstanding experiences to the public, its <br /> animals, and its employees. <br /> Section III . The undersigned members of the Common Council believe that once the conditions <br /> addressing City employees are properly addressed that such a Public Private Partnership would be in the <br /> best interests of the City of South Bend and should become effective January 1, 2014. <br /> Section IV . This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the <br /> Council and approval by the Mayor. <br /> Tim Scott, 1St District Oliver J.
