CITY CLERK, SOUTH SEND, IN
On May 9, 2016, the Common Council adopted Resolution No. 4570 -16, which formally appointed
an agent /negotiator to represent the Common Council for this year's police negotiations.
On behalf of the City's Advisory Negotiating Team, the attached Bill is filed as a place holder to
begin the formal legislative process in "fixing the annual pay and monetary fringe benefits of
sworn members" of the South Bend Police Department as authorized by Indiana Code § 36 -8 -3-
3, ¶ (d).
In light of the ongoing labor negotiations which are being conducted in good faith, as well as in a
fair and positive manner, it is anticipated that a substitute bill will be filed for Common Council
consideration as negotiations progress.
We ask that this Bill be referred to the Council's Health and Public Safety Committee, and set for
2nd & 3rd readings and public hearing for October 10"'. In the event that labor negotiations and
related ratification procedures are still ongoing, the Bill may be requested to be continued to a later
date, to protect the integrity of the entire negotiating process. Thank you.
Mo sincerely,
