Those experiences, <br />ongoing discussion of City -wide priorities, and our careful and detailed review of <br />the City's finances have prompted us to propose a thoughtful mechanism. We <br />believe that our initiative would be in the best interest of our entire city and the <br />University of Notre Dame, which is listed as the largest employer in the "South <br />Bend Metropolitan Area Labor Force" on page 261 of the Comprehensive Annual <br />Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. <br />Our proposal is proactive and aimed to begin positive exchange of ideas all aimed <br />Oliver J. Davis at the betterment of the City of South Bend and the surrounding areas, but we cannot <br />Sixth District financially take on this initiative without a strong partnership. <br />Derek D. Dieter <br />At Large <br />Gavin Ferlic <br />At Large <br />We have attached additional information which supplements our Resolution. We <br />ask that this matter be referred to the Health and Public Safety Committee for <br />review and recommendation; and seek your approval next Monday night. Thank <br />you. <br />Karen L.
