ORDINANCE NO. t ° t
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA AMENDING CHAPTER 2,ARTICLE 4, SECTION 2-13 (A)AND (B) OF THE
SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMMUNITY
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
INVESTMENT DEPARTMENT, AND TO MAKE ALL OTHER CHANGES
CONSISTENT THEREWITH
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The South Bend Municipal Code at Chapter 2, Article 4, Section 2-13 (A) (7) establishes
a Community and Economic Development Department (the Department) as one of nine City
executive departments, and Section 2-13 (B) (7) (a) through (f) of that Chapter and Article lists
the various functions of the Department.
The Community and Economic Development Department (the Department) has been
reorganized, and now desires to change its name to the Community Investment Department to
reflect a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of life for all in South Bend, with
Departmental functions that include, but are not limited to, business assistance, administration of
economic resources, neighborhood and community engagement, and urban planning. The
Department's current title, Community and Economic Development, may suggest that the two
roles of community development and economic development are separate functions, while the
new title integrates these two into a more holistic approach that invites a broader spectrum of
considerations into any policy action. Further, the title Community Investment, itself, reflects the
policy position that applications of community resources are to be viewed as an investment
rather than a subsidy, with leveraged return for benefit of the entire South Bend community.
This ordinance effectuates the desired change of name, and is in the best interests of the
City of South Bend.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
Section I. Chapter 2, Article 4, Section 2-13 (A) (7) of the South Bend Municipal Code
be and hereby is amended to read as follows:

administrative functions required to fulfill the needs of the City's citizens:

Dear Council Member:
The attached bill for your consideration and approval will change the formal name of the
Community& Economic Development Department to the Community Investment Department.
As part of my administration's goal to re-energize the City's approach to improving the quality of
life for all in South Bend, an updated name seems apt.
Instead of suggesting that the roles of community development and economic development are
separate functions, the new title integrates them into a more holistic approach which invites a
broader spectrum of considerations into any policy action. The proposed title, Community
Investment, also reflects the policy position which views applications of community resources as
investments through which we expect to realize a leveraged return for the benefit of our entire
South Bend community.
I will be pleased to present this bill at your October 22nd meeting.
Sincerely,
�j filed In C1 's ce
