;O�c,,OVTHB,,.O <br />�y+ e <br />r <br />Im <br />2014 Annual Report of the Personnel and Finance Committee <br />Date: January 25, 2015 <br />To: The South Bend Common Council <br />The Office of the City Clerk <br />From: Council Member Valerie Schey <br />Pursuant to § 2 -10 (i) of the South Bend Municipal Code I am filing this report which briefly <br />highlights some of last year's activities of the Personnel and Finance Committee. <br />As each of you will recall, the Personnel and Finance Committee is charged with overseeing <br />the activities performed by the Department of Administration and Finance and reviewing <br />all proposed salary budget appropriations and other fiscal matters as well as personnel <br />policies and all health benefit related matters. <br />We were fortunate to have Mr. Christopher Huff, our citizen member, who diligently served <br />on this Committee last year. Likewise, the Council Members who served included myself as <br />Committee Chairperson, Dr David Varner as Committee Vice Chairperson, Henry Davis Jr. <br />and Derek D Dieter. <br />The primary responsibility of the Personnel and Finance Committee last year was to work <br />together with the Administration to prepare the 2015 City Budget. By hosting a number of <br />committee meetings, the 2015 Budget was prepared and approved by Council on October <br />27th. <br />The Committee also had the opportunity to work in conjunction with the Community <br />Investment Committee to interview candidates for possible appointments to the <br />Redevelopment Commission, the Human Rights Commission and the Diversity Utilization <br />Board. <br />By working with the City Administration, all of the Committee activities helped to ensure <br />sound fiscal choices were made on behalf of the City of South Bend. Thank you. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />- Signature on file- <br />Valerie Schey, Council Member <br />
