First District
Henry Davis,Jr. After several years of discussion within the community, we believe that recent
Second District events require immediate action. We are therefore filing a proposed ordinance

Third District Common Council and representing each district.
Troy Warner The purpose of the Board is to provide an additional just and efficient means to
Fourth District fairly and timely conduct investigations of alleged police misconduct,to reach an
independent determination of whether the allegations are supported„and to make
Jake Teshka recommendations based on the evidence gained through those investigations.
Fifth District
Sheila Niezgodski We ask that this proposed ordinance be scheduled for first reading at the Council's
Sixth District meeting on March 23,2020 and the assigned to the Council's Community Relations
Committee.
Karen L.White

RE: One-time Mid-year Increase of Salary and City Residency Incentive for Sworn Police Officers
Dear Council President Scott:
I respectfully request that the attached ordinance be considered for first reading at the Common
Council's meeting on May 26, 2020 and receive a public hearing on June 8,2020.
This ordinance would increase sworn officer pay by 2.5%in 2020 and increase the city residency
incentive from$400 to$2,500.Due to our current shortage of officers,these changes would not
require the appropriation of additional funds above the 2020 budgeted amount. Also,these changes
are not related to our current COVID-19 emergency.
As you know,we have experienced sustained double-digit officer shortages over the past few
years,and a large percentage of our current officers are eligible to retire with 20 years or more on
the job. Addressing this issue is urgent,and I commissioned a compensation study shortly after
becoming mayor in January.While this study is not yet complete,the attached preliminary findings
motivate current action.
The Board of Public Safety and Fraternal Order of Police voted unanimously in favor of these
changes. I hope the Common Council will recognize the urgency of this matter and support this
ordinance.Please let me or members of my team know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
4,„

This brief summarizes preliminary results from a compensation benchmarking
analysis for the South Bend Police Department (SBPD). The analysis, undertaken
by Human Resources and the Department of Innovation &Technology, captures
the comparative salaries of police agencies in the state and the region, factoring
differences in cost of living.
Analysis Highlights:
SBPD is paid less than several peer agencies in Indiana
SBPD is paid substantially less than our peer cities in the region, even after
factoring in cost of living adjustments
Adjusted Midwest Ranking: A Regional Comparison
The scope of the analysis expands out of state to compare against peer agencies in the
Midwest.The comparisons are adjusted for cost of living to provide even further context
on relative compensation packages. In this ranking, SBPD is second to last in
compensation of the 12 peer agencies compiled.
77 Funds List Ranking: A Baseline Compensation Comparison
The 2019 '77 Fund list was provided by the Indiana Public Retirement System or INPRS.
The number listed is the department's pension base. Out of 154 other agencies in
Indiana, South Bend,the 4th largest city in Indiana, ranks at 38th with a pension base of
62,408. The Indiana pension base is comprised of the salary of a Patrolman First Class
SBPD $59,158) and a departments 20-year longevity pay (SBPD $3,250). Further, while
this gives the appearance of being in the top quartile of compensation in Indiana, this is
not an accurate reflection of compensation and neglects factors such as population, cost
of living, and other occupational pay incentives. Additionally, some departments may not

pay officers the Patrolman First Class salary. This salary is only provided to calculate for
the department's pension base.
Adjusted Indiana Ranking: A Comparison of Peer Agencies
The adjusted ranking for Indiana pares down the agencies to similar cities of population
and proximity to a large metropolitan area, factoring in variables not considered in the
77 Fund list. By including clothing, longevity, and shift incentives to an officer's salary at
10 and 20 year time horizons, we are able to estimate what an officer should reasonably
expect to make after 10 and 20 years. SBPD falls out of the top quartile of pay with
these considerations, still below competing agencies like Elkhart.

ORDINANCE NO. 1' 071 CLERK, SOUTH BEND,IN
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,AMENDING ORDINANCE NOS. 10472-16 AND 10682-19 AS
TO THE ANNUAL PAY AND RESIDENCY INCENTIVE PAY OF SWORN MEMBERS OF
THE
SOUTH BEND POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2020
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The South Bend Common Council, pursuant to Indiana Code § 36-8- 3- 3, established the annual
compensation and monetary fringe benefits of the South Bend Police Department following
successful labor negotiations between representatives of the South Bend Board of Public Safety and
the South Bend Fraternal Order of Police("the FOP") Lodge#36 in 2016. The total wage, monetary
fringe benefits and working conditions package was ratified by voting members of the FOP which
resulted in the South Bend Common Council passing Ordinance No. 10472-16 on October 24, 2016.
agreement establishingthe annual payandThatordinancesetforththeprovisionsofafour-year
monetary fringe benefits for calendar years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and established maximum
annual pay and monetary fringe benefits for upper level policy making positions in the South Bend
Police Department as defined in Indiana Code § 36-8-1-12.
On October 14, 2019 this Council passed Ordinance No. 10682-19 which reaffirmed all provisions
of Ordinance No. 10472-16 in its entirety for the 2020 calendar year.
The City of South Bend("the City")had originally budgeted for 243 sworn police officers. However,
due to a national shortage of officers, the City has far fewer officers than anticipated.
The City Administration worked with the FOP Lodge No. 36 to engage in a compensation study
regarding salaries of sworn police officers. Based upon that study, the Administration strongly
encourages the Council to increase the compensation payable in calendar year 2020 to all sworn
members of the South Bend Police Department including all upper level policy makers as set forth at
Section II (a) of Ordinance No. 10472-16, and further affecting the City Residency Incentives
compensation under Section III (b) of that ordinance. Due to the shortage of sworn officers, the
increase in compensation would not require any additional appropriation of funds.
On May 20, 2020, the South Bend Board of Public Safety passed Resolution 15-2020, A Resolution
in Support of a One-Time Increase of the Salary of Sworn Police Officers.
The Common Council believes that harmonious relations between the City and the FOP and its
members are vital to the citizens of South Bend, and that such relations would be fostered by
increasing the compensation and Residency Incentives for sworn officers for calendar year 2020.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, as follows:
10721-20
SECTION I. The annual pay established for all sworn members of the South Bend Police
Department,including all upper level policy making positions in the Department, as originally set out
at Section II (a) of Ordinance No. 10472-16 and as reaffirmed for calendar year 2020 in Ordinance
No. 10682-19, are hereby increased in each pay classification by two and one half per cent (2.5%)
per annum during calendar year 2020, prospectively effective pro rata June 20, 2020, and each
Ordinance is hereby amended as to that provision.
SECTION II. The City Residency Incentives for all sworn members of the South Bend Police
Department, as originally set out at Section III (b) of Ordinance No. 10472-16 and as reaffirmed for
calendar year 2020 in Ordinance No. 10682-19 are hereby increased from Four Hundred Dollars
400.00)to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) for calendar year 2020 effective June
20, 2020 for all sworn members of the South Bend Police Department residing within the City limits
on that date and thereafter, and each Ordinance is hereby amended as to that provision.
SECTION III. All the rest and remainder of Ordinances No. 10472-16 and 10682-19 are hereby

A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,DENOUCING IN THE
STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS ALL ACTS OF RACIAL PROFILING,POLICE BRUTALTY AND THE
USE OF EXCESSIVE POLICE FORCE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
WHEREAS, on May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black resident of the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was
publicly and brutally murdered through the actions and inactions of four police officers while he cried out"I
can't breathe" and called for his dead mother; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Floyd's death occurred while he was handcuffed, lying face down on the street while one
officer knelt on his neck, another officer applied pressure to his back and at least two other officers ignored
pleas from onlookers to save Mr. Floyd's life; and
WHEREAS, the officer continuedpp1 in pressure to Mr. Floyd's neck for nearlynine (9)minutes, more thanaYgY
three (3)minutes after he stopped breathing; and
WHEREAS, although this method of restraint has been banned or strongly discouraged by many police
departments, reports indicate that Minneapolis police used neck restraints, i.e. using an arm or leg to compress a
neck without directly putting pressure on the airway, at least two hundred and thirty-seven (237) since the
beginning of 2015, with at least forty-four(44) of the victims losing consciousness; and
WHEREAS, despite recordings of Mr. Floyd's death having been replayed innumerable times throughout the
world leading to world-wide protests, a Seattle police officer was recorded using a similar tactic on a protester
until his knee was forcibly removed by another officer while onlookers screamed"get your f*****g knee off
his neck"; and
WHEREAS, this is the second time in the past year that members of this Common Council have expressed
condolences to the family and friends of a Black man killed by a white police officer, the death of Eric Logan
on June 16, 2019, though tragic,did not draw global attention to America's problems, in part, because Mr.
Logan was killed in the middle of the night, in a dark parking lot, with no witnesses or video to document what
actually happened and the investigation of his death left unanswered many questions in the minds of many
people, unlike the public killing of Mr. Floyd, in broad daylight, with several recordings and witnesses; and
WHEREAS, historical injustices and racial disparities that have existed in our country for hundreds of years
have led to many Black men dying at the hands of white police officers in a system of policing in America that
targets people of color and which can be traced back to the long legacy of slavery, lynching, and Jim Crow
laws; and
WHEREAS, it is currently not only Black men, but also Black women and girls, Latinos and Native Americans
who suffer from this shameful history; and
WHEREAS the very public and brutal murder of Mr. Floyd has caused world-wide outrage because such
actions can no longer be willfully denied or ignorantly disregarded; and
WHEREAS, racial profiling and excessive force, which includes shootings, brutal beatings, fatal chokings,
and other excessive abuses, are contrary to human decency, the inherent dignity of every individual, and the
American ideal of equal justice for all.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA,AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. The Common Council expresses its deep and sincere condolences, not only to the family and friends
of Mr. Floyd, but also to the family and friends of all other such victims whose suffering is renewed and
intensified every time there is another family suffers a similar loss.

Section II. This Common Council denounces in the strongest terms possible all acts of racial profiling,police
brutality and the use of excessive police force such as those that led to the deaths of Mr. Floyd and many known
and unknown other victims. More specifically, the Common Council calls for every law enforcement agency or
department to immediately adopt a goal of zero (0) deaths while employing apprehension and detainment
procedures which provide safe practices for both officers and suspects.
Section III. The Common Council calls on each individual resident to similarly condemn the actions leading to
the death of Mr. Floyd and others like him.
Section IV. The Common Council, recognizing the inherent dignity of every human person,renews its
unwavering commitment to the goal of equal treatment of all through not only the words, but more importantly,
the actions, of this legislative body.
Section V. That commitment is not onlyestablished bypast acts such as: lastyear allocating $180,000 for
21 CP Solutions to evaluate the police department's policies and practices on the use of force, body-worn
cameras,bias-informed policing, accountability, and community engagement and participation, but also
continuing and future acts such as encouragement of implementation of 21 CP Solutions valid recommendations
by the Board of Public Safety and the South Bend Police Department, encouraging the adoption of a fair and
just matrix for exercising police discipline and the continued study and consideration of a citizen review board
to add community input into South Bend policing.
Section VI. The Common Council not only invites, but also demands, that South Bend residents hold Council
members to this commitment and, further, encourages each resident to join in that commitment.

Staff Report—BZA#0013-20 June 8, 2020
Criteria for Decision Making: Special Exception
The petitioner is seeking a Special Use to allow:
a Day Care Center in a U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 District
A Special Use may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon the
evidence presented at a public hearing, that:
1) The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort,
community moral standards, convenience or general welfare;
The addition of a small scale Day Care Center will not be injurious to the public health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the community.
2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or
property values therein;
The Day Care Center will be managed in a way that is concurrent with the residential
character of the neighborhood in which it is embedded. Provided the center retains the
existing character of a traditional single family house, it should not affect the surrounding
properties in a substantially adverse manner.
3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is
located and the land uses authorized therein;
Day Care Centers are not out of character with the S1 Suburban Neighborhood 1 Districts.
This Special Exception is needed because the owner will not live on the premises. The
owner has demonstrated a willingness to manage the property by providing needed repairs
to the structure and continue to keep the property consistent with its former use as a single
family home.
4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
This petition is consistent with the City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan, Objective
ED 7: Support neighborhood-based economic development. A Day Care Center is a good
example of neighborhood development and redevelopment such as this Day Care Center as
long as it is in character with the neighborhood.
Analysis & Recommendation
Analysis: Permitting a Day Care Center imbedded in a neighborhood but also near a primary
arterial street will provide easy access for parents seeking childcare for their children.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the evidence available prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Board send the Special Exception to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation.

Criteria for Decision Making: Special Exception
The petitioner is seeking a Special Use to allow:

evidence presented at a public hearing, that:

community moral standards, convenience or general welfare;
Due to the rural nature of Keller Street it will not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the community for the Special Exception for a parking lot to
be granted. The removal of street parking on Keller Street and into a parking lot should
increase safety and confusion coming into and leaving the little league facilities.
2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or
property values therein;
The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the surrounding properties value. The
use and value of surrounding properties may improve as the area would have increased
ease of use. While zoned S1 Suburban Neighborhood 1, it is not surrounded by a traditional
neighborhood setting. The property is surrounded by the baseball fields and vacant
residential lots.
3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is
located and the land uses authorized therein;
The majority of the area consists of the East Side Little League facilities and vacant land.
The parking lot will be consistent with the character of the neighborhood and land uses
therein.
4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.

League to provide more opportunities for the youth of the City.
Criteria for Decision Making: Variance(s)
State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met before a
variance can be approved. The standards and their justifications are as follows:
1) The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community
Due to the rural nature of Keller Street; it will not be injurious to the public health. safety.
morals and general welfare of the community for the reduced setback. Keller Street is a
deadened street which reduces the need for the 25' setback.
SOUTH BEND BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS Page 3 of 4
Staff Report—BZA#0011-20 June 8, 2020
2) The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will
not be affected in a substantially adverse manner
The majority of surrounding properties are baseball facilities owned by the petitioner. The
variance for the reduced front setback should not be affect the use or value of adjacent
properties.
3) The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property
Due to the depth of the lots and nature of the street, strict application would create practical
difficulties in the use of the property.
4) The variance granted is the minimum necessary
The parking lot has been laid out in a manner to most efficiently use the existing area to
minimize the variance request needed.
5) The variance does not correct a hardship cause by a former or current owner of
the property
The rural nature of the street and it's general location is not a hardship created by the
current or past owners of the property.
Analysis & Recommendation
Analysis: Due to the remote location of the facility, the proposed use and setback are
appropriate for the area and consistent with the intent of the ordinance.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the evidence available prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Board send the Special Exception to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation and approve the variance, as presented.

credit against any redemption obligation. Each Refunding Bond maturing as a term bond so
delivered or cancelled shall be credited by the Paying Agent at 100% of the principal amount
thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory sinking fund date, and
any excess of such amount shall be credited on future redemption obligations, and the principal
amount of the Refunding Bonds to be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund
requirement shall be accordingly reduced; provided, however, the Paying Agent shall credit only
such Refunding Bonds maturing as term bonds to the extent received on or before forty-five (45)
days preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date.

other Refunding Bonds. The notice shall specify the date and place of redemption,the redemption
price and the CUSIP numbers of the Refunding Bonds called for redemption. The place of
redemption may be determined by the City. Interest on the Refunding Bonds so called for
redemption shall cease on the redemption date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds are available

10%) of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds.
vi) If a Refunding Subaccount is established,and the initial deposit into
the Refunding Subaccount does not equal the Reserve Requirement, or if no deposit is
made, the City shall deposit a sum of Net Revenues into each such Refunding Subaccount
on the last day of each calendar month until the balance therein equals the Reserve
Requirement. The monthly deposits shall be equal in amount and sufficient to accumulate
the Reserve Requirement in each Refunding Subaccount within five (5) years of the date
of delivery of the corresponding series of Refunding Bonds.
vii) Any deficiency in the balance maintained in each Refunding
Subaccount shall be made up from the next available Net Revenues remaining after credits
into the Bond and Interest Account. Any moneys in each Refunding Subaccount in excess
of the Reserve Requirement shall either be transferred to the Sewage Works Improvement
Fund(as described herein)or be used for the purchase of outstanding bonds or installments
of principal of fully registered bonds of each corresponding series at a price not exceeding
the par amount thereof and accrued interest.
viii) As an alternative to holding cash funds in each Refunding
Subaccount, the City, with the advice of the Municipal Advisor and the City's bond
counsel, may satisfy all or any part of its obligation to maintain any amount in each
Refunding Subaccount by depositing a Credit Facility(as defined below)therein,provided
that such deposit does not adversely affect any then existing rating on the corresponding
series of Refunding Bonds. A "Credit Facility" is hereby defined as a letter of credit,
liquidity facility,insurance policy or comparable instrument furnished by a bank,insurance
company, financial institution or other entity pursuant to a reimbursement agreement or
similar instrument between such entity and the City. As long as any such Credit Facility
is in full force and effect, any valuation of each Refunding Subaccount shall treat the
15 -
maximum amount available under such Credit Facility as its value. To the extent that any
Refunding Bonds are insured, and such Credit Facility is not being provided by the insurer
of such Refunding Bonds,such Credit Facility shall be subject to the insurer's prior written
consent. The Mayor and the Controller are hereby authorized to obtain such a Credit
Facility for each series of Refunding Bonds being sold and are authorized to enter into any
agreements with such Credit Facility provider that they deem necessary with the advice of
the Municipal Advisor.
ix) Prior to applying any funds held in any debt service reserve accounts
securing any obligations payable out of the revenues of the sewage works of the City to the
payment of such obligation, the City shall cause all funds held in the Sinking Fund (or any
like fund or account from which debt service has been structured to be paid) to be applied
in full before any such reserve accounts are so applied.
SECTION 15. Sewage Works Improvement Fund. On the first day of each calendar
month after the Refunding Bonds are issued, after meeting the requirements for operation, repair,
and maintenance and the Sinking Fund, all available net revenues shall be credited to the Sewage
Works Improvement Fund as set forth in the Prior Ordinances and continued hereby. Said fund
shall be used for payments in lieu of taxes, improvements,replacements, additions and extensions
of the Sewage Works. Moneys in the Sewage Works Improvement Fund shall be transferred to
the Sinking Fund if necessary to prevent a default in the payment of principal of and interest on
the then outstanding bonds or if necessary to eliminate any deficiencies in credits to or minimum
balance in the Reserve Account of the Sinking Fund.
SECTION 16. Investment of Funds. The moneys in any of such funds or accounts shall
be invested in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana relating to the depositing, holding,
securing or investing of public funds, and in accordance with the arbitrage certificate delivered at
the time of delivery of any bonds payable from such funds and accounts.
All revenues derived from the operation of the Sewage Works and from the collection of
sewage rates and charges and from the investment of moneys in the funds herein created shall be
segregated and kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City. No moneys
derived from the revenues of the Sewage Works(including investment income)shall be transferred
to the general fund of the City or be used for any purpose not connected with the Sewage Works
if such transfer or use would interfere with the flow of funds set forth herein.
Investment income from such funds and accounts shall, except as otherwise provided
herein, be treated as revenues of the Sewage Works, and shall be used as provided in this
Ordinance.
SECTION 17. Financial Records and Accounts. The City shall keep proper records
and books of account, separate from all of its other records and accounts, in which complete and
correct entries shall be made showing all revenues received on account of the operation of the
utility and all disbursements made therefrom and all transactions relating to the utility. The City
shall maintain on file the audited financial statements of the utility prepared by the State Board of
Accounts. There shall be furnished, upon written request, to any owner of the Refunding Bonds,
the most recent copy of the audited financial statements of the utility prepared by the State Board
16 -
of Accounts. Copies of all such statements and reports shall be kept on file in the office of the
Controller.
SECTION 18. Rate Covenant. The City shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
establish, maintain and collect just and equitable rates and charges for the use of and the services
rendered by said Sewage Works,to be paid by the owner of each and every lot,parcel of real estate
or building that is connected with and uses said Sewage Works by or through any part of the
sewage system of the City, or that in any way uses or is served by such Works. Such rates or
charges shall be sufficient in each year for the payment of the proper and reasonable expenses of
operation, repair and maintenance of the Works, for depreciation and improvement, for payments
in lieu of taxes, and for the payment of the sums required to be paid into the Sinking Fund. Such
rates or charges shall, if necessary, be changed and readjusted from time to time so that the
revenues therefrom shall always be sufficient to meet the expenses of operation, repair andYppp
maintenance, depreciation and improvement, and the requirements of the Sinking Fund; and such
rates or charges shall be in an amount sufficient in each year to produce Net Revenues at least
equal to 1.1 times the greater of the average annual debt service on the Prior Bonds,the Refunding
Bonds and all bonds on a parity therewith or the debt service payable during the next succeeding
twelve (12) calendar months on the Prior Bonds, the Refunding Bonds and all bonds on a parity
therewith. For these purposes, the interest rate on variable rate debt shall be assumed to be the
average interest rate thereon in the preceding calendar year.
SECTION 19. Defeasance. If, when the Refunding Bonds or a portion thereof shall
have become due and payable in accordance with their terms or shall have been duly called for
redemption or irrevocable instructions to call the Refunding Bonds or a portion thereof for
redemption shall have been given,and the whole amount of the principal,premium,if any, and the
interest so due and payable upon such Refunding Bonds or any portion thereof then outstanding
shall be paid,or(i) sufficient moneys, (ii) direct non-callable obligations of(including obligations
issued or held in book-entry form on the books of) the United States of America, the principal of
and the interest on which when due without reinvestment will provide sufficient money, or (iii)
any combination of the foregoing,shall be held irrevocably in trust for such purpose,and provision
shall also be made for paying all fees and expenses for the payment, then and in that case the
Refunding Bonds or such designated portion thereof shall no longer be deemed outstanding or
secured by this Ordinance or entitled to the pledge of the Net Revenues.
SECTION 20. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to authorize and issue
additional bonds, payable out of the revenue of its Sewage Works, ranking on a parity with the
Refunding Bonds and any outstanding Prior Bonds for the purpose of financing the cost of future
additions, extensions and improvements to the Sewage Works or to provide for a complete or
partial refunding of the Refunding Bonds or other bonds payable out of the revenues of the Sewage
Works, subject to the following conditions:
a) The interest on and principal of all bonds payable from the revenues of the

the parity bonds or other funds of the City.
17 -
b) All required deposits to the Sinking Fund shall have been made in
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
c) The Net Revenues of the Sewage Works in the fiscal year immediately
preceding the issuance of any such bonds ranking on a parity with the Refunding Bonds shall be
not less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum annual interest and
principal requirements of the then outstanding Refunding Bonds, any then outstanding parity
bonds and the additional parity bonds proposed to be issued; or,prior to the issuance of said parity
bonds, the sewage rates and charges shall be increased sufficiently so that said increased rates and
charges applied to the previous fiscal year's operations would have produced Net Revenues for
said year equal to not less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum annual
interest and principal requirements of the then outstanding Refunding Bonds,any then outstanding
parity bonds and the additional parity bonds proposed to be issued. For purposes of this subsection,
the records of the Sewage Works shall be analyzed and all showings shall be prepared by a certified
public accountant or independent municipal advisor employed by the City for that purpose.
d) The principal of the additional parity bonds shall be payable annually on
December 1 and the interest shall be payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 during the
periods in which principal and interest are payable.

the interests of the holders of the Refunding Bonds, it is specifically provided as follows:

operate the same in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost.
b) So long as any of the Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the City shall
maintain insurance on the insurable parts of the Works of a kind and in an amount such as would
normally be carried by private companies engaged in a similar type of business. All insurance
shall be placed with responsible insurance companies qualified to do business under the laws of
the State of Indiana. In addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, the City may provide for coverage
on all or part of the Works comparable to that described above through a self-insurance program.

equipment which may become worn out or obsolete or other property not required for proper
operation and maintenance of the Works, without the prior written consent of the Authority, and
ii) the City shall not borrow any money, enter into any contract or agreement or incur any other
liabilities in connection with the Sewage Works, other than for normal operating expenditures,
18 -
without the prior written consent of the Authority if such undertaking would involve, commit, or
use the revenues of the Sewage Works.
e) Except as provided in Section 20 hereof, so long as any of the Refunding
Bonds are outstanding, no additional bonds or other obligations pledging any portion of the
revenues of the Sewage Works shall be authorized, executed, or issued by the City except such as
shall be made subordinate and junior in all respects to the Refunding Bonds, unless all of the
Refunding Bonds are redeemed, retired, or defeased coincidentally with the delivery of such
additional bonds or other obligations.
f) The City shall take all action or proceedings necessary and proper to require
connection of all property where liquid and solid waste, sewage, night soil, or industrial waste is
produced with available sanitary sewers. The City shall,insofar as possible,cause all such sanitary
sewers to be connected with the Sewage Works.
g) This Ordinance shall not be repealed or amended in any respect which will
adversely affect the rights of the owners of any Refunding Bonds, nor shall the Common Council
adopt any law, ordinance or resolution which in any way adversely affects the rights of such
owners so long as any of said bonds or the interest thereon remains unpaid.

provisions of the Refunding Bonds and this Ordinance, or any supplemental ordinance, may be

the Refunding Bonds then outstanding.
SECTION 23. Amendments Without Consent of Bondholders. Without notice to or
consent of the owners of the Refunding Bonds, the City may, from time to time and at any time,

SECTION 24. Tax Matters. In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the
Refunding Bonds which may be issued on a tax-exempt basis (the "Tax-Exempt Bonds") from
gross income for federal income tax purposes and as an inducement to purchasers of the Tax-
Exempt Bonds, the City represents, covenants and agrees that:
a) No person or entity, other than the City or another state or local
governmental unit, will use proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Bonds or property financed by the Tax-
Exempt Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or entity other
than the City or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed by Tax-
Exempt Bond proceeds or will have actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease,
a management or incentive payment contract, an arrangement such as take-or-pay or output
contract, or any other type of arrangement that differentiates that person's or entity's use of such
property from the use by the public at large.
b) No Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds will be loaned to any entity or person other
than a state or local governmental unit. No Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds will be transferred,directly
or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a non-governmental person in any manner that would in
substance constitute a loan of the Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds.
c) The City will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to
the Tax-Exempt Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code,
and the regulations thereunder as applicable to the Tax-Exempt Bonds, including, without
limitation,the taking of such action as is necessary to rebate or cause to be rebated arbitrage profits
on Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds or other monies treated as Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds to the
federal government as provided in Section 148 of the Code, and will set aside such monies, which
may be paid from investment income on funds and accounts notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, in trust for such purposes.
d) The City will file an information report on Form 8038-G with the Internal
Revenue Service as required by Section 149 of the Code.
21 -
e) The City will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during
the period that any Tax-Exempt Bond is outstanding hereunder which would cause any Tax-
Exempt Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the
regulations thereunder as applicable to the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance, the foregoing covenants and
authorizations(the"Tax Sections")which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the
Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income under federal law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be
complied with to the extent the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
that compliance with such Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption.
SECTION 25. Rate and Charges. The rates and charges of the Works are set forth or
described in Chapter 17 of the South Bend Municipal Code as the same has been amended by
Ordinance No. 10688-19 adopted by the Council at a meeting held on October 28, 2019 which has
been re-affirmed by Ordinance No. 10705-20 adopted by the Council on February 24, 2020. Such
chapter and ordinances are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full at this place,two
copies of which are on file and available for public inspection in the office of the City Clerk
pursuant to Indiana Code 36-1-5-4.
SECTION 26. Non-Business Days. If the date of making any payment or the last date
for performance of any act or the exercising of any right, as provided in this Ordinance, shall be a
legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the City or the jurisdiction in which the
Registrar or Paying Agent is located are typically closed, such payment may be made or act
performed or right exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday or a day on which such
banking institutions are typically closed, with the same force and effect as if done on the nominal
date provided in this Ordinance, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date.
SECTION 27. No Conflict. The Council hereby finds and determines that the adoption
of this Ordinance and the issuance of the Refunding Bonds are in compliance with the Prior
Ordinances. The Prior Ordinances shall remain in full force and effect. All ordinances and
resolutions and parts thereof in conflict herewith, except the Prior Ordinances, are to the extent of
such conflict hereby repealed. None of the provisions of this Ordinance shall be construed to
adversely affect the rights of the owners of any bonds ranking on parity with the Refunding Bonds.
SECTION 28. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Ordinance
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of
such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 29. Interpretation. Unless the context or laws clearly require otherwise,
references herein to statutes or other laws include the same as modified, supplemented or
superseded from time to time.
SECTION 30. Payment on Bonds in the Event of Default. In the event available
moneys are insufficient to pay debt service on the Refunding Bonds and bonds ranking on parity
with the Refunding Bonds when due, available moneys shall be applied, after payment of all costs
and expenses associated therewith, to the Refunding Bonds and any such parity bonds as follows:
22 -
to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all unpaid installments of interest then due on, and
the unpaid principal of,the Refunding Bonds and any such parity bonds,including interest on any
past due principal of any Refunding Bond or such parity bonds at the rate borne by such Refunding
Bond or such parity bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest and the
due dates of such principal and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any
particular installment of interest or maturity of principal, then to such payment ratably, according
to the amounts so due, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege or
any preference of or priority of interest over principal or principal over interest.
During the continuance of any default in the payment of either principal of or interest or
premium on any Refunding Bonds or bonds ranking on parity with the Refunding Bonds, no
payment shall be made with respect to any subordinate obligations issued pursuant to Section
21(e). Moneys available for payment to holders of such subordinate obligations shall, in the event
of an insufficient amount being available to pay all debt service with respect to the subordinate
obligations when due, be applied to the subordinate obligations in accordance with the sequence
and other terms set forth above with respect to payments regarding Refunding Bonds and such
parity bonds unless otherwise provided in the ordinance authorizing the subordinate obligations.
SECTION 31. Actions and Agreements. Each of the Mayor, the Controller, and the
Clerk and any other officer or employee of the City is hereby authorized and directed to execute
any instruments or agreements or take any other actions necessary or desirable to effect the
transactions contemplated by this Ordinance, such necessity or desirability to be conclusively
evidenced by the execution of such instruments or agreements or the taking of such action.
