CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />James V. Barcome <br />Director, Finance and Administration <br />TO: MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL <br />Reply To: <br />September 19, 1973 <br />FROM: WALTER F. LANTZ, CHIEF DEPUTY CONTROLLER <br />SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM "P,E.R.F." TO REFUNDS, AWARDS, AND <br />INDEMNITIES <br />The budget estimate in 1973 for claims the City would be required to pay <br />in Refunds, Awards, and Indemnities, was set at $45,000.00. This was cut <br />by the Common Council to $20,000.00, and we find at this time, that this <br />will not be sufficient to protect the City from potential law suits for <br />the balance of the year. <br />The two claims which have been attached to the Ordinance, totaling $1,500.00, <br />were recommended for payment by the City Attorney on the basis that the <br />City would lose in both instances if they are taken to court. <br />In addition, there is a $600.00 claim pending, which has been in litigation <br />since 1969, on a personal injury claim, which the City has lost. Also, <br />the personal injury department claims for the Police Dept., Street Dept., <br />Fire Dept., etc., have been averaging about $1,000.00 per month. <br />We presently have only $400.00 left in Refunds, Awards, and Indemnities <br />account. <br />Walter F. Lantz, <br />Chief Deputy Controller' <br />
