Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, IN 46601 Filed in Clerk's Office FEB 0 7 2018 KAREEMAH FOWLER CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN Re: Ordinance to Amend Ordinance #10529-17 Appropriating Monies for the purpose of Defraying the Expenses of Departments and Funds of the Civil City of South Bend for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and Ordinance #1049917 Ordinance Levying taxes and fixing the rate of Property Taxation to meet City Expenses for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 — Substitute for Technical Error Dear Council President Scott: Attached herewith please find a bill for consideration by the Common Council of the City of South Bend amending the ordinances noted above. This amendment is required to correct a technical error between the Redevelopment Commission Hall of Fame Fund #313 and a new Parks Bond Debt Service Fund #312 relating to the property tax levy and debt payments to be made on the Hall of Fame and the 2017 Parks Bond. The net effect of the amendment is $0 as it is allowing the City to use the new fund 312 to collect the property tax levy that was previously collected in fund 313 to cover the Hall of Fame levy. This bill is respectfully submitted for 1s' 2nd and 31d readings and council vote at the council meeting on February 12, 2018. We are requesting all three readings at one meeting under Municipal Code Sec. 2-9(w), which will require a suspension of the rules. This request is being made due to a DLGF request which requires this ordinance, and without this being passed on February 12, 2018, will cause for three counties (including St. Joseph County) to have their budgets delayed. Due to this change being only technical in nature, we request to have permission to suspend the rules for this ordinance. I will be available to discuss this bill at the appropriate sessions of the Personnel and Finance Committee and other meetings of the South Bend Common Council. . Respectfully submitted, Jennifer C.

Filed in Clerk's Office FEB 0 7 2018 KAREEMAH FOWLER CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 10499-17 AND ORDINANCE NO. 10529-17 RELATING TO THE APPROPRIATIONS AND TAX RATES FOR THE YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2018 TO CORRECT A SCRIVENER'S ERROR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT This Common Council previously adopted Ordinance No. 10499-17 on October 23, 2017 ("Ordinance No. 10499-17") providing for the appropriation of monies to defray the expenses of several Departments of the Civil City of South Bend, Indiana (the "City") for 2018 and Ordinance No. 10529-17 on October 23, 2017 ("Ordinance No. 10529-17" and collectively with Ordinance No. 10499-17, the "Ordinances"), providing for the levy of taxes and the fixing of the rates of taxation to meet necessary expenses of 2018. The Ordinances provided for an appropriation and a tax rate for the payment of debt service of certain Park District Bonds issued by the City in 2017 (the "Park Bonds") by the continuation of a South Bend Redevelopment District (the "Redevelopment District") levy which was a scrivener's error. Following discussions with the Department of Local Government Finance, the Controller of the City (the "Controller") recommends to this Common Council that the Ordinances be amended to provide that the tax levy and tax rate necessary to provide for the payment of the debt service on the Park Bonds be moved to the Parks Bond Debt Service Fund (No. 312) thus correspondingly reducing the Redevelopment Bond tax levy and tax rate for the Hall of Fame Debt Service Fund (No. 313). As a result, this Common Council desires to amend the Ordinances to provide that the debt service on the Park Bonds will be paid by a tax levy, a tax rate, and an appropriation with respect to the Parks Bond Debt Service Fund (No. 312) and to provide for a corresponding reduction in the tax levy, the tax rate and the appropriation for the Hall of Fame Debt Service Fund (No. 313).
