(Ordinance No. 8007-89). User rates were also established at the time the leaf collection/removal program (Operation "ReLEAF") was initiated, but the rates were not then included in the South Bend Municipal Code. This Ordinance provides for codification of "Operation ReLEAF" rates which require adjustment due to increase costs in fuel and other expenses of the program. It also amends the title of Chapter 9, Article 4, Section 9-22 from "Operation Relief' to "Operation ReLEAF" which was the original intent. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND that Chapter 9, Article 4, Section 9-22 be amended to change the Section title and to include a new subpart (e). Section I. Chapter 9, Article 4, Section 9-22 be and hereby is amended to change the title from Operation "Relief' to Operation "ReLEAF" and to add a new subpart (e) which shall read as follows: Section 9-22, Operation " ~ ' "ReLEAF" ~ The service charge per customer for this program shall be ninety-nine cents ($0.99) der month effective January 1, 2006.

LEONE CITYATTORNEY October 25, 2005 Ms. Charlotte Pfeifer President, South Bend Common Council 4`i' Floor, County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Re: Bill No. 74-OS Substitute Version Dear Ms. Pfeifer: PHONE 574/ 235-9241 FAx 574/235-9892 TDD 574/ 235-5567 ALADEAN M. DERosE CHIEF ASSISTANT CITYATTORNEY Enclosed is a substitute version of Bi1174-05. The sole purpose of this amendment is to change the title of South Bend Municipal Code § 9-22 from Operation "Relief" to Operation "ReLEAF." I understand that Operation "ReLEAF" was the originally desired title, but that it was erroneously recorded. Because Bill No. 74-OS provides for a codification of rates in § 9-22, this is an opportune time to make the title change. I understand the Council has also asked whether the City continues to provide "biodegradable bags" as provided in Code § 9-22(c). According to Sam Hensley, the City still offers this program. About 4,000 biodegradable bags were distributed in the last month throughout the City neighborhood centers and are available at these sites by citizens. As stated before, Mr. Gary Gilot, accompanied by Mr. Sam Hensley, will present this Bill to the Common Council for its consideration on November 14, 2005. Thanks for your consideration.
