The attached proposed ordinance would freeze salaries for members of the South
Bend Common Council at 2007 levels. In light of the current economic climate and
the challenges facing our city, it is believed that this action would be in the best
interest of the citizens which we serve.
Ann Puzzello I realize that this would be the 4`h year in a row that the legislative branch of
Fourth District government would not be receiving a salary increase. As elected public officials, we
David Varner are charged with the duty to "manage the finances of the city". Passage of the
Fifth District attached ordinance would confirm our belief that "fiscal restraint is required during
these tough economic times".
Oliver J. Davis
