Peter H. Mullen Director, Administration and Finance November 15, 1978 CITY of SOUTH BEND PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 Members of The Common Council 4th floor County -City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Council Members: 219/284 -9742 We are filing the budget ordinance for the Century Center Operations Fund for the year 1979 at this time. Having been in operation for a year, we have had the experience to project the expenses of the Center more accurately. The 1979 budget is substantially higher than 1978 due to several major factors. First, the personnel costs are up due to an increase in the wage and salary levels passed in the salary ordinance, the projected full staffing of all posi- tions for the full year which was not the case in 1978, and the budgeting of the parking salaries which was not done this year. Utilities represent another major increase due to rising costs. The Theatre Lighting lease - purchase and the Nat -Lea lease for furniture are also in this 1979 budget and were not in the 1978 budget. Even though the 1979 budget is substantially higher, we do not intend to request any additional Revenue Sharing monies than we have this year. We feel that increases in other revenues sources will provide the funds to meet the expenses in this budget. If you have any questions concerning this budget ordinance, el fr to call my office. Sincerely, Peter H. Mullen Controller
