Department of Public Parks <br />Administration Building <br />St. Louis Boulevard at Wayne Street <br />South Bend, Indiana 46617 <br />PHONE: (219) 284 -9401 <br />February 28, 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 />It has been called to our attention, by the State. Board of Accounts, that <br />the $40,000.00.grant the City received from the American Revolution Bi- <br />centennial Commission must be appropriated from the General Park Fund by <br />the Common Council. <br />As you recall, the Council did approve $4,100.00 from the $40,000.00 grant <br />several weeks ago. I was under the impression, from talking to the American <br />Revolution Bicentennial Commission officials, that fifty per cent of the <br />future request payments for park work would be paid directly to the con- <br />tractor by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission. Since then, I <br />have been instructed by the State Board of Accounts that all the reimburse- <br />ment checks will be made out to the Department of Public Parks thus making <br />it necessary to reappropriate the funds. <br />To alleviate the necessity of having to appropriate for every progress pay- <br />ment, it was advised that we appropriate the remaining $35,900.00 to account <br />number 260.0, Other Contractual Services. <br />1 am very pleased with the progress on the Bicentennial Park and that South <br />Bend is the only city in the state to receive such a grant. <br />I would like to thank the Council for its cooperation on this project. <br />Very truly yours, <br />DEPARTMENT vv � OF PUB I C PARKS <br />�' p <br />J mes R. Seitz, <br />uperintendent <br />JRS:kb <br />
