Resolution Addressing Recommendations to the City Administration Page 3 balanced against the greater good of protecting the public interests and public assets. The Council further believes that provisions addressing suspensions would help protect the integrity of City governmental programs by ensuring that only responsible persons and companies participate. The Council recommends that such review include, but not be limited to: 1. Developing policies and procedures which are transparent, which reflect best practices, which are regularly updated and filed with the Office of the City Clerk and posted on the City's website; and 2. Developing policies and procedures that an entity would be excluded or disqualified from bidding on, quoting on, or participating in a contract with the City of South Bend for a temporary period of time, pending the completion of an investigation or legal proceeding involving that entity; and Developing policies and procedures which ensure that all contractors may be suspended during any period of time that there may be an ongoing investigation as to the contractor's practices or procedures; or an investigation of a contractor's alleged misconduct or ensuing legal proceedings; and 4. Developing policies and procedures which increase the information made available to contractors which better address their required responsibilities and duties; and that the City Administration collaborate with the Common Council in protecting the public interests by complying with South Bend Municipal Code § 17 -64 addressing `Bi- Annual Financial Statement and Report Required; Quarterly Report Filed with the Common Council's Utility Committee ".
