The proposed Amendment modifies the Agreement in two ways. First, pursuant to the amendment, the City of South Bend will prepay through February 1, 2017, its share of the County CEDIT revenue bonds issued in 2014 to finance the consolidated dispatch center. This will permit South Bend to receive its distributive share of CEDIT revenues so that it can make payments on certain outstanding CEDIT bonds which finally mature in February, 2017. Beginning then on March 1, 2017, the County will once again continue to withhold South Bend's portion of the County bond payments from South Bend's distributive CEDIT share. Additionally, the amendment permits the Cities of South Bend and Mishawaka to substitute their respective distributive shares of public safety LOIT each would receive in lieu of their respective CEDIT distributive shares as the intercept funding source if either City is delinquent in paying their respective assessments for operating and replacement costs under Article 5 of the PSAP Interlocal Agreement. This provides each City greater flexibility with their respective CEDIT funds. o
