In December, 1991, the South Bend Common Council and the St .

County by providing for consistent interpretation and
implementation of building and zoning codes and consistent and
combined licensing and registration for the building trades .

County that the costs of the operation of the Consolidated
Building Department on a continual basis be financed and
recovered primarily through user fees . It is the goal of the
City and the County that the Consolidated Building Department be
self-sufficient . Accordingly, it is appropriate that an
enterprise fund should be established for the St. Joseph

Re: Bill Amending Chapter 2 of the South Bend
Municipal Code to Create the "Consolidated
Building Department Enterprise Fund"
Dear Steve:
I am attaching for filing a bill amending Article 14 of
Chapter 2 of the South Bend Municipal Code to create a new
section entitled "Consolidated Building Department Enterprise
Fund. "
As you know, in December, 1991, the South Bend Common
Council and the St . Joseph County Council approved the execution
of an interlocal agreement for the consolidation of building
departments . Since January, 1992, the St . Joseph County/South
Bend Building Department has been in operation and has been
providing better and more consistent service to the citizens of
South Bend and St . Joseph County at a lower cost.
It has always been the intent of the City and the
County that the costs for the operation of the Consolidated
Building Department on a continual basis be financed and
recovered primarily through user fees . It is the goal of the
City and the County that the Consolidated Building Department be
self-sufficient . For these reasons, it is appropriate that an
enterprise fund should be established for the St. Joseph
County/South Bend Building Department . The establishment of this
fund will not necessitate any changes in the interlocal agreement
between the City and the County which governs the operation of
the Consolidated Building Department .
