Department of Pablie Parks <br />Administration Building <br />St. Louis Boulevard at Wayne Street <br />South Bend 17, Indiana <br />January 22, 1975 <br />Mr. Roger Parent, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />County- City - Building <br />217 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Dear Mr. Parent: <br />The Department of Parks is requesting the Common Council to approve <br />the enclosed ordinance appropriating $4,100.00 from the General Park <br />Fund to Account 46260.0, Other Contractual Services. <br />The $4,100.00 will help pay for the remaining construction cost of <br />the Bicentennial Park. As you are aware, the City of South Bend re- <br />ceived a $40,000.00 grant from the American Revolution Bicentennial <br />Commission (A.R.B.C.) for Bicentennial Park development. Work had to <br />D be started on this park by January 15, 1975 or the City would have <br />lost the $40,000.00 grant. Originally, the funds for the park work <br />were included in the $1_7 million dollar bond issue. <br />The $4,100.00 that is being appropriated from the General Park Fund <br />is the first partial payment from the A.R.B.C. grant. As required, <br />this money was deposited in the General Park Fund and must be appropri- <br />ated before spent. Since no funds were budgeted in the 1975 budget <br />for Bicentennial Park these funds are needed for Bicentennial Park <br />development. <br />Very truly yours, <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS <br />James R. Seitz, <br />Superintendent <br />JRS:kb <br />cc: All Common Council Members <br />
