Dieter First District Re: 2012 Salary Ordinance for the South Bend Common Council Henry Davis, Jr. Second District Dear Council Members: Thomas LaFountain The attached ordinance would establish salaries for members of the Third District Common Council for the 2012 calendar year. Ann Puzzello Council salaries have been frozen for four (4) years, with the last increase Fourth District being approved when Ordinance No. 9449-03 was passed on September 3, David Varner 2003. Fifth District It is my understanding the separate ordinances establishing the maximum Oliver J. Davis salary for the Mayor and the maximum salary for the City Clerk are also Sixth District being filed. All proposed increases for South Bend City elected officials represent a 2% increase. The dollar amount increase for a Council Al "Buddy" Kirsits Member would be $340. It is my further understanding that all elected At Large official salary ordinances would be se�t to the Council's Personnel and Timothy A. Rouse Finance Committee for review and discussion. I seek your support of this At Large recommendation. Thank you. Karen L. White Sincerely, � At Iarge � �� Derek D.
