Common Council <br />City of South Bend Indiana <br />Derek D. Dieter, Council Member at Large <br />41h Floor County -City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(574) 235 -5982 (574) 235 -9173 Facsimile (574)235 -5567 TTY/TDD <br />July 7, 2015 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />41 Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Recommendations Calling for a Change of City Administration Policies <br />Dear Council Members: <br />At the last Common Council meeting held on June 22nd, we were advised by the City Administration that <br />the Board of Public Works has no policies to temporarily remove any company from a list of companies <br />previously authorized to do business with the City, while a company is under investigation. <br />We, the Common Council Officers believe that the City has a duty to protect the public interest and to <br />also properly monitor the expenditure of all taxpayer dollars. It is clear that many other governmental <br />entities protect the public interest, with many examples being briefly summarized in the attached <br />Resolution. <br />We urge you to support this Resolution which recommends that the Board of Public Works immediately <br />begin a review of their practices addressed in the Board's "Sewer Insurance Program Policy" by: <br />1. Developing policies and procedures which are transparent, which reflect best practices, which are <br />regularly updated and filed with the Office of the City Clerk and posted on the City's website; and <br />2. Developing policies and procedures that an entity would be excluded or disqualified from bidding <br />on, quoting on, or participating in a contract with the City of South Bend for a temporary period <br />of time, pending the completion of an investigation or legal proceeding involving that entity; and <br />3. Developing policies and procedures which ensure that all contractors may be suspended during <br />any period of time that there may be an ongoing investigation as to the contractor's practices or <br />procedures; or an investigation of a contractor's alleged misconduct or ensuing legal proceedings; <br />and <br />
