As each of you will recall, the Personnel and Finance Committee is charged with overseeing the activities performed by the Department of Administration and Finance and reviewing all proposed salary budget appropriations and other fiscal matters as well as personnel policies and all health benefit related matters. We were fortunate to have Mr. Christopher Huff, our citizen member, who diligently served on this Committee last year. Likewise, the Council Members who served included myself as Committee Chairperson, Dr David Varner as Committee Vice Chairperson, Henry Davis Jr. and Derek D Dieter. The primary responsibility of the Personnel and Finance Committee last year was to work together with the Administration to prepare the 2015 City Budget. By hosting a number of committee meetings, the 2015 Budget was prepared and approved by Council on October 2']th The Committee also had the opportunity to work in conjunction with the Community Investment Committee to interview candidates for possible appointments to the Redevelopment Commission, the Human Rights Commission and the Diversity Utilization Board. By working with the City Administration, all of the Committee activities helped to ensure sound fiscal choices were made on behalf of the City of South Bend. Thank you.
