Cover Letter to the South Bend Municipal ID Card Program Ordinance <br />April 7, 2015 <br />Page 2 <br />• Using the ID card for identification purposes for City of South Bend recreational and <br />cultural programs if identification is needed or required. <br />As noted in the proposed ordinance, we have studied many of the other City ID card programs, <br />which have been successfully launched in other communities. Some of those programs, in addition <br />to the positive items highlighted above, have coordinated with other organizations, non - profits, <br />and financial institutions to develop additional special features such as having other entities <br />recognize the City ID for identification purposes; and having debit and /or credit features. <br />The proposed ordinance is patterned after several of the provisions included in ordinances in the <br />California communities, noting that the San Francisco ordinance was upheld when it was <br />constitutionally challenged. Unlike the program in New York City which is estimated to cost the <br />city approximately $8.4 million in its first year of operation, the proposed South Bend Municipal <br />ID Card Program challenges the City Administration to work with the Common Council and our <br />community residents, organizations, and businesses in developing a program which would be <br />operated at minimal or no net cost to the City, its departments, bureaus, or our taxpayers. <br />Developing and having a secure South Bend Municipal ID Card program is also extremely <br />important. You will find attached information from the Consulate of Mexico regarding the security <br />provisions which they use for their Consular ID Cards. The proposed ordinance calls for the South <br />Bend Municipal ID Card to be developed in such a way as to minimize fraud, counterfeit <br />reproduction, and also be secured from electronic pickpocketing devices (EP) which are beginning <br />to create significant identification security problems. . <br />The proposed ordinance sets forth basic standards which will require close collaboration with the <br />City Administration, the public, and the Council in order to be successful. It calls for the sharing <br />of additional detailed information regarding how the program would be paid for as well as <br />recommended fees which would be charged to applicants. A future Council Resolution would be <br />required for actual implementation of a South Bend Municipal ID Card Program. Such a <br />Resolution would be filed by the City Administration which would trigger a date certain for <br />implementation of such a program which would be at minimal or no net cost to the City. In <br />summary, the proposed ordinance would address: <br />1. Definitions. <br />2. Purposes of a South Bend Municipal ID Card Program. <br />3. Terms and Conditions Before Program Implementation and Issuance of ID Cards. <br />4. Application Process. <br />5. Implementation Process and Program Information to be Posted on City's Website. <br />6. Fees. <br />7. Proof of Residency for City Services and Programs; Pre - Emption. <br />8. South Bend Municipal ID Card Holder's Responsibilities. <br />
