AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, TRANSFERRING $20,625.00 WITHIN GENERAL FUND NO. 101 FROM A
DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE ACCOUNT TO AN OFFICE
RENTAL ACCOUNT IN THE SOUTH BEND HUMAN RIGHTS DIVISION
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend Human Rights Division of the Department of Administration and
Finance (Human Rights Division) currently maintains its offices at 301 South St. Louis
Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana. The City of South Bend Public Works Department has
inspected the current facility and determined that it is inadequate to meet the needs of the Human
Rights Division and would require substantial repair costs of as much as $250,000 to fully
rehabilitate this facility.
Office space which meets the Human Rights Division's needs for confidentiality of
claimants, ADA accessibility, and convenience of South Bend residents has been located at 319
Niles Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, and requires a lease with the property owner, 319 LLC. The
initial lease term is for five (5) years, and the annual cost will not exceed $45,000. The lease
term is expected to begin effective July 15, 2012.
Filed previously with the South Bend Common Council is Substitute Bill No. 12 -87, a
Resolution which seeks Council's finding that the lease with 319 LLC for the Human Rights
Division is necessary. Adoption of this Resolution will require the expenditure and transfer of
funds pursuant to this Ordinance.
In 2012 the office rental costs for the Human Rights Division should not exceed
$20,625.00 which is calculated at $3,750 per month times 5.5 months (July 15, 2012 through
December 31, 2012). This expenditure was not contemplated in the 2012 Human Rights
Division budget, and this Ordinance transfers $20,625.00 from the Administration and Finance
Department's Professional Services Account to a new Office Rental Account in the Human
Rights Division.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
Section I. The sum of $20,625.00 shall be transferred within General Fund No. 101 from
the Professional Services Account in the Administration and Finance Department to a new
Office Rental Account in the Human Rights Division budget for 2012 for the purpose of paying
rent in 2012 for office space located at 319 Niles Avenue, South Bend, Indiana.
Section 11. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by
the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.

Re: Ordinance Transferring $20,625.00 for Lease Payment on Human Rights Commission Office
Dear President Deiter:
Presently pending before the Common Council is Bill No. 12 -47 by which the Common Council
has been requested to make a finding that lease of office space at 319 Niles Avenue is necessary for the
South Bend Human Rights Commission.
The attached ordinance is a companion to Bill No. 12 -47. This ordinance transfers $20,625.00
within General Fund No. 101 from a Department of Administration and Finance account to an office
rental account in the South Bend Human Rights Division of the City Department of Administration and
Finance. This transfer comprises the maximum annual cost for 2012 of the Human Rights Commission
lease which we hope will be approved under pending Bill No. 12 -47.
The Council at its last meeting continued its consideration of Bill No. 12 -47 to the meeting of
July 9, 2012. It is appropriate that both the ordinance being filed at this time be considered with Bill No.
12 -47 because they are related.
I will make the presentation to the Council of the attached ordinance at the Council's regular
meeting and at its Committee meeting. It is the sincere hope of the Human Rights Commission as well as
the City administration that the Council favorably pass both Bill No. 12 -47 and the attached ordinance.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Aladean M. DeRose Filed IX�
