AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING ORDINANCE N0.9863-08, WHICH FIXED NON
BARGAINING EMPLOYEE WAGES IN 2009, TO DEFINE FULL AND PART-TIME
EMPLOYEES
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
On September 8, 2008 the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance 9863-08
which fixed salaries and wages of appointed officers and non bargaining employees for the City
of South Bend in calendar year 2009. Ordinance 9863-08 did not define full and part-time
employees. Therefore, should an issue arise over whether a person employed by the City in 2009
qualifies as a full or part-time employee, this ordinance provides definitional guidance and
clarification to Ordinance 9863-08. This ordinance also clarifies the type of major medical
health insurance information furnished to City employees in 2009.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
SECTION I. Ordinance No. 9863-08 at Section II is hereby amended to change existing
subpart " j" to subpart "1" and to add two new subparts " j" and "k". Subparts (j)(k) and (1) of
Section II shall read in their entirety as follows:

who are not in a part time status and who are regularly scheduled to work the City of South
Bend's full-time scheduled forty (40) hours per week, or a reduced full-time schedule of thirty-
two (32) hours or more per week as approved by the Mayor on a voluntary basis. Such
employees are eligible for the Employer's Benefits Package subject to the terms and conditions
and limitations of each benefit program.
(k) Definition of Part-Time Employee. Part-time employees are those employees
who are not assigned to a full-time status and who are scheduled to work less than the City of
South Bend's full-time schedule, not to exceed one thousand forty (1040) hours per year. While
they do receive certain mandated benefits (such as worker's compensation and social security
benefits) they are not eligible for other City benefit programs with the exception of the positions
listed below:
CED Project Coordinator

Re: Ordinance Amending the 2009 Salary Ordinance #9863-08
Dear President Dieter:
Last year on September 8, 2008, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance
9863-08 which fixed the salaries and wages of non bargaining employees for the City of South
Bend in calendar year 2009. That ordinance did not define full and part-time employees, and it
did not clearly identify the information received by City employees regarding the medical
insurance program. The attached ordinance amends Ordinance 9863-08 by defining full and
part-time employees and specifying the nature of information received by employees regarding
their health insurance plan. You will also note that this ordinance provides for retroactive effect
to January 1, 2009 in the event of any interpretation issue that may arise in the future concerning
the 2009 salary ordinance.
I will present this ordinance to the Common Council at its Committee meeting and public
hearing and will be happy to answer any questions that Council members may have.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Si erely,
