CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director, Public Works 219/2849251 <br />May 16, 1978 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Transfer of Funds - Motor Vehicle Highway Fund <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />The attached ordinance requests a transfer of $86,400 from the Salaries and <br />Wages Account to Other Contractuals, all within the Street Department budget. <br />The purpose of this transfer is to provide adequate funds within the Contrac- <br />tual line item to address the costs of the City's 1978 Contractual Sweeping <br />Program. <br />This will be the first year the City has entered into a contract for street <br />sweeping. Based upon a review of sweeping activity over recent years, it <br />was determined that it was to the advantage of the City of South Bend to <br />transfer sweeping on main routes to a contractual basis. All other sweep- <br />ing, namely residential areas, will continue to be performed by the Street <br />Department. <br />One important point which must be brought to your attention is the fact <br />that due to the hiring freeze imposed last fall, the Street Department has <br />sufficient openings in its Salaries Account to al;low for this transfer. <br />There will be no personnel layoffs as a result of the City having entered <br />into this activity. <br />Should you have any questions in regard to these matters, please contact <br />me at your earliest convenience. <br />4Ver truly yours, <br />c rick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director <br />PMMc:amc <br />
