6ti■ L T -4 <br /> Bill No. <br /> Ordinance No. <br /> — <br /> AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br /> INDIANA, CALLING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A <br /> SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL ID CARD PROGRAM <br /> STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br /> The South Bend Common Council notes that since 2005, there have been communities <br /> studying municipal identification card programs. One of the first studies was conducted by the <br /> Unidad Latina enAccion (ULA) in New Haven, Connecticut. <br /> New Haven,Connecticut was the first city to implement a municipal identification program <br /> in 2007, and their program uses what is referred to as an "Elm City Resident Card". Two (2) <br /> proofs of New Haven residency are required to be "eligible, with the card expiring when an <br /> individual no long has residency within the city limits. The fees for such a card were $5.00 for <br /> children and $10.00 for adults. The overall purpose of the card was to provide proof of <br /> identification and residency for the approximate 10,000 to 15,000 undocumented persons living in <br /> New Haven. Their card can also be used as a debit card with a limit of$150; a method of payment <br /> for parking meter fees; and works as a library card. Private funds from the First City Fund <br /> Corporation in the amount of$250,359 were used to fund the implementation of their program. <br /> San Francisco, California became the next city to develop a city ID program, with their <br /> Board of Supervisors voting in November of 2007 to move forward with the program. In October <br /> of 2008 a court in San Francisco ruled that the "...city's plan to issue municipal identification <br /> cards to residents regardless of immigration status does not violate state and federal law". <br /> Ordinance No. 279-08 was passed on November 18, 2008 which amended the original ordinance; <br /> with educational and training materials then being prepared along with hardware and software <br /> programs. On January 15, 2009 the City of San Francisco officially began issuing "SF City ID <br /> Cards". <br /> The following communities and the year each community's ID program became <br /> operational is briefly set forth below: <br /> 2010 Trenton, New Jersey 2013 Oakland, California <br /> 2011 Richmond, California 2015 New York, New York <br /> 2012 Los Angeles, California <br /> Some of the other communities looking into whether a program would be in the best <br /> interests of their cities include New Orleans, Louisiana and Charlotte, North Carolina. <br /> Each program is unique to the municipality which created it by proper ordinance. Some of <br /> the studies have indicated that a municipal-issued identification card may assist law enforcement <br />
