<br />COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
<br />Be it remembered that the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana met in the Committee
<br />of the Whole at 8:03 p.m. on Monday, December 11, 1972 with nine members present. Chairman
<br />Odell Newburn presided.
<br />ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $25,000.00 FROM THE LOCAL ROAD
<br />AND STREET FUND TO THE ACCOUNT "SERVICES CONTRACTUAL" WITHIN
<br />THE LOCAL ROAD AND STREET FUND, FOR USE IN ACQUIRING RIGHT -
<br />OF -WAY FOR PROTECT R & S 47.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. William Richardson, Director of Public
<br />Works, explained that this ordinance came before the Council about three weeks ago and, at that
<br />time, the Council suspended the rules to hold 1st reading, public hearing and 2nd reading on the
<br />ordinance on the same night and the ordinance was passed. When the State Board of Tax Com-
<br />missioners held their hearing on the ordinance, they ruled that the procedures were illegal
<br />because the ordinance had not been advertised. This ordinance concerns right -of -way for the
<br />Chippewa- Michigan Street intersection. The project will require no additional local funds.
<br />Councilman Miller asked Mr. Richardson how much money was in the Local Road and Street Fund.
<br />Mr. Richardson replied that balances in the fund are set up for each project. This project
<br />concerns Project R & S 47. Councilman Szymkowiak made a motion that the ordinance go to the
<br />Council as favorable, seconded by Councilman Horvath. The motion carried.
<br />ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE FOR AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT
<br />OF $20,000.00 FROM THE MOTOR VEHICLE HIGHWAY FUND TO MVH 13
<br />"EXTRA AND OVERTIME" AN ACCOUNT WITHIN THE MOTOR VEHICLE
<br />HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Donald Decker, Street Commissioner, said
<br />that the reason for this request is that there has been a shortage because of trouble in a
<br />couple of programs. One of them is the leaf pick -up program. Due to the unusual weather this
<br />year, most of the leaves fell in a matter of a few days. This created an emergency situation
<br />resulting in $12,426.99 in overtime hours worked. At the time the request was made, there was
<br />a balance in the account of $8,501.59. The overtime for the period of November 1 through
<br />November 15 amounted to $10,641.13 leaving a deficit in the account. Overtime hours will be
<br />required on week -ends for snow and ice control. If the Council sees fit to grant this transfer
<br />of funds, we will have a balance of approximately $13,000 for the balance of December. Miss
<br />Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, said that it was her
<br />understanding that this was not a transfer, but an additional appropriation. She said with
<br />weather conditions as they are at this time of year it is difficult to question the Street
<br />Department about extra and overtime but she said she had hoped there would be a reduction made
<br />in some other item in the budget to cover this. Mr. Decker said that there is going to be money
<br />left in the 1972 budget and this money will revert back to the MVH General Fund. Miss Guthrie
