Dear Council Members:
Attached is a resolution authorizing the Mayor to submit
an application for a Governor's Discretionary Grant in
the amount of $42,620.00 to the Indiana Office of Occu-
pational Development. The Governor's Discretionary Fund
is part of the Comprehensive Employment and Training
Act and is being used to strengthen the links between
economic development activities and CETA efforts to Dro-
vide employment for low to moderate income individuals.
The Department of Redevelopment intends to use the grant
to provide staff and support services for the purpose of
carrying out economic development activities which will
create new jobs in South Bend. The staff will also work
closely with the Department of Redevelopment's Targeted
Jobs Coordinator to see that a portion of these new jobs
are filled by low to moderate income individuals.
We feel that this grant will enable the City of South
Bend to continue its aQ4ressive efforts to continue to
improve our economy.
I urge your favorable consideration of this resolution.

Attachment
Sincerely,
Ann Kolata
Director
