Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P.E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />August 16, 1976 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Subject: Vehicle Maintenance Equipment Appropriation <br />Dear Council Members: <br />�L AOUT/04/ <br />LU <br />LU rn <br />a, W z <br />a <br />INDIANP <br />219/284 -9251 <br />The Department of Public Works is filing an ordinance requesting an <br />appropriation of $5,600 to provide hydraulic hoists for the Bureau <br />of Vehicle Maintenance. These hoists will be used to lift cars and <br />small trucks. <br />As the Bureau of Vehicle Maintenance has increased the efficiency of <br />its employees and provided additional training, the handicap posed <br />by the lack of operable vehicle hoists has become increasingly appar- <br />ent. Without these hoists it is necessary to use hand - operated hoists <br />which are less efficient and should be considered less reliable. <br />The addition of these hoists will facilitate the efforts of this De- <br />partment to provide an increasing variety of repairs to the city <br />vehicle fleet. It is anticipated that these hoists will contribute <br />to the reduction of employee fatigue, as well as increasing produc- <br />tivity through more efficient operations. <br />Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. <br />REF:amc <br />CC: James Meehan <br />Very truly yours, <br />�/.CliSJcQ 3l <br />Rollin E.
