GENERAL INFORMATION
The City of South Bend is the county seat of St. Joseph County, Indiana, and is the fourth largest
city in the state. The City of South Bend's 2010 U.S. Bureau of the Census population was
101,168. Accordingly, South Bend is classified as a "City of the Second Class" under Indiana
statutes (cities with a population of 35,000 to 250,000). The City of South Bend operates with a
mayor as chief executive and a nine- member City Common Council composed of six members
elected from districts and three members elected at- large.
The City provides a full range of traditional general governmental services to its citizens. These
services include police and fire protection; sanitation services; the construction and maintenance
of highways, streets and infrastructure; recreational activities and cultural events. In addition to
general governmental activities, the City exercises oversight over the South Bend Water Works,
the South Bend Wastewater Treatment Facility, the Century Center convention facility, the
College Football Hall of Fame, the Studebaker National Museum , the City of South Bend
Redevelopment Commission and Authority and several downtown parking facilities.
Location
St. Joseph County lies within the heartland of the manufacturing belt and metropolitan regions of
the Upper Midwest and Canada. The City of South Bend is located in the north central part of
Indiana, ten miles south of the Michigan state line, and is commonly known to be within the
" Michiana" area. The Michiana area is a vibrant and diverse area with a strong economy based
on a mix of health care, agricultural, service, manufacturing, education and other commercial and
tourism industries. This diverse economic mix creates varied employment opportunities for the
area's residents while providing insulation via diversification from future economic downturns.
The City is approximately 90 miles east of Chicago and 140 miles north of Indianapolis.
Accessibility to transportation, including Interstate 80/90, a regional airport (which is the second
busiest in the State of Indiana), the South Shore rail line and has supported economic growth
within the community. Proximity to Chicago, the largest rail and intermodal
(rail /truck/ocean /inland waterway) transfer point in the country, is a significant advantage to the
City of South Bend as is proximity to the University of Notre Dame, with its scenic campus
located adjacent to the city limits.
St. Joseph County / South Bend - Economic Conditions and Outlook
St. Joseph County, with its 2010 U.S. Bureau of the Census population of 266,931, boasts a
strong history of manufacturing which continues today. As a complement to that, the service
industry and retail trade has also flourished, creating a balance that serves the community well.
The County experienced a net growth in population of 28,317 (11.8% increase) between 1960
and 2010. After experiencing a reduction of 2.6% during 1969 to 1983, at which time the entire
Midwest was at the depth of its economic restructuring and recess, the County's population
increased 4.0% between 1983 and 1990 and another 7.5% between 1990 and 2000. The
population of St. Joseph County has remained fairly flat during the past decade increasing by
only 1,372 residents from 2000 to 2010.
The total resident labor force in December 2011 of 129,438 in St. Joseph County is typical of the
Midwest: well trained with a strong work ethic. Approximately 86.4% of the area's adult
population are high school graduates or higher (as compared to the national average of 75 %) with
an estimated 25.6% with a Bachelor's Degree or higher. There are eight colleges, universities
and technical schools within South Bend and the surrounding area including the University of
Notre Dame, Indiana University at South Bend, Saint Mary's College, Bethel College and Ivy
Tech State College. At the high school level, there are school -to -work transition programs that
help prepare students for the world of work. As of April 2012, St. Joseph County is experiencing
an unemployment rate of 8.9 %, which is higher than the State of Indiana unemployment rate of
7.7 %. The unemployment rate in St. Joseph County compares favorably with many of its
surrounding counties — Elkhart (8.7 %), LaPorte (9.6 %), and Marshall (8.1 %) in Indiana and Cass
(6.3 %) and Berrien (8.2 %) in Michigan.

compiled by the National Realtor's Association in the first quarter of 2012, the median sales
price for a single family home in the South Bend - Mishawaka Statistical Area was $69,400 as
compared to a median sales price of $157,200 in Chicago and $115,400 in Indianapolis. The
national median sales price is $158,000.
The City of South Bend continues to place high emphasis on a growing and diversified local
economy. It has been active in developing ten industrial parks, offering itself as a low -cost
alternative to the Chicago metropolitan area to companies engaged in light manufacturing,
distribution and services. More than 240 businesses operate in South Bend's industrial parks,
including companies engaged in metalworking, plastics, warehousing and distribution, and
professional services. In recent years, the City has developed Innovation and Ignition parks, the
first dual -site, state - certified technology park in the State of Indiana.
The South Bend Community School Corporation serves the entire City and some of the
surrounding area and has a current enrollment of approximately 20,134 students in grades
kindergarten through high school. An estimated 5,757 students attend private or parochial
schools within the City. The nine institutions of higher education and technical training located
within the South Bend area have a total enrollment of approximately 31,166. Over the years, the
University of Notre Dame has provided a stabilizing influence on the economy with a very
significant positive economic impact upon the community.
In 1820, Pierre Navarre of the American Fur Trading Company was the first settler in the area to
become later known as South Bend. South Bend has continued to progress in its growth since
1842, when Father Edward Sorin named his rustic log chapel "Notre Dame du Lac" and began to
teach the local Indians. Today, the chapel has grown into the University of Notre Dame. In
1852, H.C. Studebaker started the industry of making wagons and horse drawn buggies that
evolved into the manufacturing of the Studebaker automobile. It made the name Studebaker
synonymous with the area of South Bend.
Another industrial firm that would later become the area's largest began in 1923 when Vincent
Bendix began manufacturing automotive brakes. In 1929, the company became the Bendix
Aviation Corporation, and now, as Honeywell (formerly AlliedSignal Inc.), is a leading
manufacturer of automotive and aerospace products.
Other special attractions within the South Bend area include the Olympic -class East Race
Waterway and the East Bank area; the renovated Morris Performing Arts Center, which provides
for the Broadway Theater League, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra with the Chamber and
Pops Orchestras and the Southold Dance Theater and Patchwork Dance Company; the award -
winning South Bend Civic Theater; the Studebaker National Museum; the South Bend Regional
Museum of Art; the Snite Museum of Art at Notre Dame; the Northern Indiana Center for
History; Copshaholm /The Oliver Mansion; the College Football Hall of Fame; Century Center;
Potawatomi Zoo; the Morris Conservatory/Muessel- Ellison Tropical Gardens; Healthworks!
Kids Museum; the Farmers' Market; and the Belleville Softball Complex. The Coveleski
Regional Baseball Stadium (named after South Bend native and Hall of Fame pitcher Stanley
Coveleski) is a 5,000 -seat facility which opened in 1987 and is rated among the best in minor
league baseball. The stadium is home to the South Bend Silver Hawks, a minor league team
affiliated with the Arizona Diamondbacks. During 2011, the Silver Hawks were sold to Chicago
businessman, Andrew Berlin, who has forged a strong partnership with the City and plans to
keep the team in South Bend for many years to come.
Additional miscellaneous information about the City of South Bend can be found in the statistical
section of this report.
Financial, Budgetary and Property Tax Controls
The City's management team is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft or
misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal
control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgments by management.
Single Audit. As a recipient of federal and state financial assistance, the City also is responsible
for ensuring that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with
applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. This internal control structure is
subject to periodic evaluation by management of the City. As part of the City's single audit
described earlier, tests are performed to determine the adequacy of the internal control structure,
including that portion related to federal financial assistance programs, as well as to determine
that the City has complied with applicable laws and regulations. The results of the City's single
audit for the year ended December 31, 2011 disclosed no instances of significant material
weaknesses in the internal control structure and no significant violations of applicable laws and
regulations.
Budgetary Controls. In accordance with Indiana statutes, the City maintains budgetary controls
integrated within the accounting system. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget (prepared on a
cash basis) which is adopted by the City Common Council and then reviewed and approved by
the State of Indiana Department of Local Government and Finance. Activities of the general
fund, special revenue funds, capital project funds, enterprise funds, internal service funds,
pension trust funds and debt service funds are included in the annual budget. The level of
budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated
amount) is established by major budget classification within funds. The Mayor and Common
Council may transfer appropriations from one major budget classification to another within a
department by ordinance as long as the total appropriations for that fund are not exceeded.
Transfers from one department to another, or additional appropriations in excess of the original
budget, must be approved by the Mayor and Common Council and are also submitted to the
Department of Local Government and Finance for either approval or acknowledgement
(depending on the fund). Beginning in budget year 2009, the City must also submit its annual
budget to the St. Joseph County Common Council for a non - binding review and
recommendation.
The City maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing
budgetary control. Encumbered amounts do not lapse at year end and are carried over to the
following year as a part of the subsequent year's budget.
Property Tax Controls. In addition to budgetary and other controls established by Indiana
statute, the City must operate within specific and rigid controls governing the amount of property
tax it may levy. The property tax control program, which began in 1973, limits the amount of
property tax that may be levied by each unit of government in its legally budgeted funds. The
total amount of property tax levied by the unit may increase by the six year average annual
growth in Indiana personal non -farm income, as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis, with a 6% maximum.
During March 2008, the State of Indiana General Assembly enacted property tax reform
legislation which made significant changes in the property tax system by capping the amount of
property taxes at l % of grossed assessed value for residential homesteads, 2% for
agricultural /rental properties and 3% for all other real and personal property. This legislation
was phased in over a two year period beginning in 2009. The loss of revenue to the City due to
this legislation was significant but has been overcome by cost savings and the adoption of local
option income taxes to in order to continue providing essential City services, including police
and fire protection.
A historical view of the City's tax rate and its net assessed valuation has been included in the
statistical section of this document.
Citywide Goals and Obiectives for 2012 and Beyond
The City has developed eight broad goals that focus on the following areas: economy, safety,
quality of life, trust, responsiveness, infrastructure, finance and workforce. The City has

Buildin;; South Bend in 2012 and beyond
The City Administration's theme for the past several years has been "We're Building South
Bend." That theme has had a major influence on the development of the 2012 budget. There
were five areas of concentration that became or remained budget priorities for 2012.
10
• We're Building Neighborhoods - The City continues with its strong commitment to
neighborhoods. The City will make a significant investment to fund or leverage state and
federal funding for housing assistance, development and home ownership programs,
neighborhood public works and parks, neighborhood development for social services and
organizations, and public safety initiatives. Committing these resources will help us
maintain, improve and support strong neighborhood development.
We're Building a Safe City - Public safety is the foundation of all the City's efforts to build
South Bend. Through the targeted and creative use of available resources, the City is
working to provide quality police, fire and ambulance services for the community. The crime
rate has decreased in several significant categories over the past year. The City's Fire
Departments is rated one of the best in the State. The Mayor's top initiatives will focus on
community policing, youth violence, and placing more emphasis on training and recruitment
for the Police and Fire Departments.
We're Building an Attractive City - We are working to enhance the natural and man -made
beauty of our city through effective City programs. The City has taken steps through its
Department of Code Enforcement and a Mayoral Task force to address the issue of vacant
and abandoned properties. The City is funding major programs to renovate the former
Studebaker Corridor area and other parts of the City. The City has been recognized as a
Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists and has established
approximately 60 miles of bicycle routes to date.
We're Building Opportunity - A key issue for any city is education and opportunity for
young people. The City is committed to keeping schools open in our neighborhoods and to
maximizing their use by the community. We are building partnerships with the South Bend
School Corporation and other key stakeholders that will create new strategies for enhancing
our formal educational systems. Working together with families, student groups, school
officials, neighborhoods, the faith community and civic organizations, we can support our
local schools and improve the level of individual student performance.
• We're Building a Strong Economy - Local government plays a key role in economic
development. By providing adequate infrastructure and offering targeted assistance, the City
can stimulate private investment, creating business opportunities and jobs. The City's
policies encourage new start-up businesses, strengthen existing business, attract new jobs,
increase assessed value and emphasize direct investment in hard -to- develop areas. Efforts
have been and will continue to focus on implementing the comprehensive plans for the areas
around the East Bank and Coveleski Stadium, including a new Veteran's Clinic across from
the stadium. The City has had many recent economic development projects including Eddy
Street Commons, a $220 million dollar mixed -use development south of Notre Dame, with
more than 20 stores and restaurants, office space and hundreds of town homes, apartments
and condominiums. In addition, the City has created Indiana's first dual -site, state - certified
technology park site known as Innovation Park and Ignition Park.

Mayoral Leadership Transition
This past year was a period of transition in the leadership of the City of South Bend. Mayor
Stephen J. Luecke retired effective December 31, 2011. As South Bend's longest serving chief
executive (1997-2011), Mayor Luecke has had many significant accomplishments during his
tenure including the City's receipt of the All- America City Award fi•om the National Civic
League in 2011.
New Mayor Pete Buttigieg (a Harvard University graduate and Rhodes scholar) assumed office
on January 1, 2012 bringing with him a group of leaders with new ideas and energy to implement
transformational reform to City government. Elected at age 29, Mayor Buttigieg is the youngest
chief executive of a municipality exceeding 100,000 residents in the United States. Building on
the success of the previous administration, Mayor Buttigieg has launched six new initiatives to
improve city government:
1. New Economic Partnerships — to lay out a new economic vision for our community as
well as to agree on a smarter division of labor among various groups involved in
economic development. An Economic Summit was held in June to promote this initiative.
2. High Ethical Standards — on his first day in office, the Mayor issued an executive order
introducing a new ethics code for city employees.
3. Customer Service Mentality — design ways that city employees can track and resolve
citizens' issues efficiently by using more advanced technology. This effort will culminate
with the creation of a "311 line" for non - emergency municipal issues during 2012.
4. Strong Partnerships with Schools — the Mayor has improved dialogue with the South
Bend School Corporation and other stakeholders to ensure a strong educational system in
the City. Programs to increase school mentoring programs and curb youth violence are
being implemented.
5. Transparency and Accessibility — choosing not to serve from behind his desk, Mayor
Buttigieg has conducted a series of monthly "Mayor's Night Out" and "Mayor's Night In"
events around town to allow citizens to speak to him and his department heads directly
about concerns and ideas. Also, efforts to implement a first -class performance
management system have been initiated.
6. Empowering Volunteers to Help — work to create new opportunities for citizens who
want to campaign for the City and help rejuvenate its neighborhoods. A city- sponsored
volunteer "clearing house" is being developed to match able volunteers with
organizations in need of volunteer assistance.
Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada
(GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City
of South Bend for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2010. This was the twenty first consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious
award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
12
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
Acknowledgments, The preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report was made
possible by the dedicated service of the City's departmental fiscal officers and the staff of the
Department of Administration and Finance. Each fiscal officer and member of the
Administration and Finance Department has my sincere appreciation for the contributions made
in the preparation of this report. In addition, I would like to thank the Field Examiners of the
Indiana State Board of Accounts (led by Doug Wiese and Bruce Snyder) for their hard work and
dedication in this effort.
In closing, without the leadership and support of former Mayor Stephen Luecke, current Mayor
Pete Buttigieg, City Department Heads, and members of the City of South Bend Common
Council, preparation of this report would not have been possible.
Sincerely,
Mark W. Neal, City Controller
City of South Bend

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
T0: THE OFFICIALS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of South Bend
(City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial
statements as listed in the Table of Contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's
management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2011, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis, Schedules of Funding Progress, Schedules of Con-
tributions From the Employer and Other Contributing Entities, and Budgetary Comparison Schedules
(General and Major Special Revenue funds), as listed in the Table of Contents, are not required parts of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary infor-
mation. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
(Continued)
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that col-
lectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining fund financial
statements, other budgetary comparison schedules, and statistical tables are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining fund financial
statements and other budgetary comparison schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical
tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial state-
ments and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report May 30, 2012,
on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Our report on compliance and on internal
control over financial reporting should be read along with this report.

Management Discussion & Analysis
Overview of the Financial Statements
The City of South Bend's financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also includes other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government wide financial statements
The government wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview
of the City of South Bend's finances using "accrual based accounting," a method of accounting
used by private- sector businesses.
• Statement of net assets
This statement reports all assets and liabilities of the City of South Bend as of December
31, 2011. The difference between total assets and total liabilities is reported as "net
assets," and can generally be thought of as the net worth of the City. Increases in net
assets generally indicate an improvement in financial position while decreases in net
assets may indicate a deterioration of financial position.
• Statement of activities
This statement serves the purpose of the traditional income statement. It provides
consolidated reporting of the results of all activities of the City of South Bend for the year
ended December 31, 2011. Changes in net assets are recorded in the period in which
the underlying event takes place, which may differ from the period in which cash is
received or disbursed. The statement of activities displays the expense of the City's
various programs net of the related revenues, as well as a separate presentation of
revenue available for general purposes including property and county option income
taxes, fees for services and other revenue sources.
The government wide financial statements distinguish between functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) and other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees
and charges (business type activities). The major governmental activities of the City of South
Bend include general government, public safety, street construction and maintenance,
infrastructure construction and maintenance, parks & recreation services, and arts & culture. The
major business -type activities of the City include the water utility, wastewater utility, solid waste
sanitation services, Century Center convention center, and Blackthorn golf course operations.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of South Bend can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government wide financial statements. However, unlike government wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on short-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's short-term financing
requirements. Governmental funds use the modified accrual accounting method. The City
18
Management Discussion & Analysis
maintains six (6) major governmental funds (General, Parks and Recreation, Public Safety Local
Option Income Tax, TIF Airport, County Option Income Tax, and Economic Development Income
Tax) and sixty-nine (69) non -major governmental funds.
Proprietary funds
The City of South Bend maintains two types of proprietary funds: enterprise and internal service.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type
activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City maintains seven (7)
enterprise funds. Information is presented separately in the proprietary statement of net
assets and the proprietary statement of revenues, expense and changes in fund net assets
for the Water Utility, Wastewater Utility and Century Center, which are considered major
enterprise funds. Data from the other four (4) non -major enterprise funds (Consolidated St.
Joseph County /South Bend Building Department, Parking Garage, Solid Waste and
Blackthorn Golf Course) are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund
data for each of these non -major enterprise funds is provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in this report.
Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's
various functions and funds. The City maintains five (5) internal service funds. The City of
South Bend uses internal service funds to account for its self- funded liability insurance
program, self- funded employee health benefits program, unemployment compensation
claims, police take home vehicle program and central services unit (a department that
accounts for expenses related to fuel, vehicle repairs, printing and other services provided to
City departments on a cost - reimbursement basis). Because these services predominantly
benefit governmental rather than business type functions, they have been included within
governmental activities in the government wide financial statements but are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund
data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere
in the report.
Fiduciary funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government wide financial statement
because the resources of those funds are not available to support City programs. The City
maintains five (5) fiduciary funds, which consist of two (2) pension trust funds (1925 Police
Pension and 1937 Firefighter's Pension), two (2) agency funds (Payroll and Morris /Palais Royale
Box Office), and one (1) private - purpose trust fund (Cemetery).
Pension Trust Fund Operations
City employees are covered by the Public Employees Retirement Fund ( "PERF ") and the 1977
Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension Fund, both of which are administered by the State of
Indiana. However, certain police officers and firefighters hired before May 1, 1977, (who did not
opt into the 1977 fund) continue to be members of the 1925 Police Officer's Pension Fund or the
1937 Firefighters' Pension Fund. These two funds are administered by the City. The number of
police officers and firefighters in the City- managed pension trust funds will continue to decline in
the future as current participant's demise.
Effective in fiscal 2009, with the passage of State legislation, funding responsibility for the 1925
and 1937 Police and Firefighter's Pension Funds was assumed by the State of Indiana. These
funds no longer receive property tax revenue distributions beyond fiscal 2009. The transfer of
pension responsibility to the State of Indiana is on a reimbursement basis and will not provide
additional revenue to the City for use in other property tax funded areas. The administration of the
pension plans remains the responsibility of the City.

have a full understanding of the data provided in the government wide and fund financial
statements.
Other information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying note & disclosures, this CAFR
report presents supplementary information. The combining statements referred to earlier in
connection with non -major governmental, enterprise, internal service and fiduciary funds are
presented immediately after the basic financial statements within the financial statement section
of the CAFR report.

Governmental net assets of $293,063,546 increased by $911,788 versus the level at December
31, 2010, an increase of .3 %. Business type net assets of $164,401,329 increased by $9,710,075
versus the level at December 31, 2010, an increase of 6.3 %.

Management Discussion & Analysis
Statement of Net Assets (continued)
Improvement in the net asset position of the City should be viewed as a favorable development
indicative of the conservative and responsible fiscal management policy maintained and followed
by City Management, especially in light of the revenue constraints due to state enacted property
tax reform in 2009 and soft economic conditions experienced in fiscal 2011. The increase in
business type net assets was due primarily to a 9% increase in sewer rates which will be used to
support long -term capital projects of the Wastewater utility.
Total assets increased $22,000,496 or 2.9% as compared to the asset level as of December 31,
2010. The increase in assets is largely attributed to an increase in capital assets net of
depreciation.
The increase in capital assets of $14,816,809 is the result of several major capital construction
projects capitalized or in process during the period. Major projects include the Eddy Street
Commons development, Coveleski Stadium improvements, several street and intersection road
improvement projects, several sewer rehabilitation projects, and water and wastewater utility
equipment projects.
Total liabilities increased by $11,378,633 or 3.5% as compared to the liability level as of
December 31, 2010. The increase in liabilities is largely attributed to additional sewer bonding
and an increase in OPEB liabilities in connection with retiree health insurance benefits.
Government wide net assets of $299,284,706, are invested in capital assets net of debt and are
therefore, not available for spending. A total of $135,887,409 is classified as unrestricted net
assets and may be used to meet ongoing obligations to creditors. Net assets in the amount of
$22,292,760 are classified as restricted for debt service and capital outlay.

Governmental Activities
Net assets for governmental activities increased by $911,788 during fiscal 2011. Revenue of
$152,772,708 decreased by $899,710, or .6 %, Expenses were $154,902,096 during 2011, an
increase of $19,843,802, or 14.7% as compared to fiscal 2010.
The revenue decrease was due to lower revenue from charges for service and property taxes
primarily in the General Fund. The increase in expenses was due primarily to spending on capital
projects such as Coveleski Stadium, the Potawatomi Conservatory and land acquisition for a new
high school in the downtown area along with increased spending on public safety, as the police
and fire department staffing was restored to full strength.
Interest on long term debt of $6,798,531 decreased by $541,017 consistent with existing
repayment obligations.
Business Type Activities
Net assets from business type activities increased by $9,710,075 during fiscal 2011. During 2011,
revenue of $59,074,724 increased by $5,825,898 or 10.9% when compared to fiscal 2010.
During 2011, expenses of $46,323,473 increased by $836,958 or 1.8 %% when compared to
fiscal 2010.
Revenue increased primarily as the result of a 9% increase in sewer rates for 2011 designed to
provide funding to cover long -term wastewater and sewer capital improvements. Additional
capital grant funding was received from the state revolving fund to cover sewer and wastewater
projects.
Expenses during 2011 were consistent with 2010 with slight increases in the wastewater utility to
cover spending on capital projects and in solid waste to cover higher landfill costs. Expenses for
the water utility, building department and Blackthorn golf course were lower in 2011 than in fiscal
2010 as these departments experienced stagnant or declining revenue and adjusted their
expenses accordingly.

As of December 31, 2011, the City governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance
of $196,234.076.
Non - spendable fund balance of $38,151,864 is sequestered for property held for resale,
inventory, non current loans receivable and advances to other funds and is, therefore, not
available for new spending. Restricted fund balance of $45,081,304 consists of monies in debt
service funds or other funds such as road funds that are limited by external parties as to their use.
Committed fund balance of $11,829,074 is designated by the Common Council of the City of
South Bend to be used for certain purposes such as for environmental projects. Assigned fund
balance of $77,715,571 includes balances in tax increment property tax funds and local option
income tax funds that have not been committed to certain projects and are available for spending
by the City. Unassigned fund balance of $23,456,263 consists of money primarily in the General
Fund that has not been obligated in any manner by the City.
23
Management Discussion & Analysis
The General Fund is the primary operating fund for City operations including general
government, public safety, code enforcement, certain highways & streets expenses, certain
culture & recreation expenses, and certain debt service obligations.
As of December 31, 2011, the General Fund balance of $27,931,216 represents a decrease of
$805,926 or 2.8% from the balance as of December 31, 2010.
The decrease in General Fund balance was due primarily to the collection of less property tax
revenue than originally budgeted due to circuit breaker property tax limitations in Indiana and
lower assessed property values.
As of December 31, 2011, the General Fund had unassigned fund balance of $26,233,637 which
is equal to 40.6% of 2011 General Fund Revenue.
The General Fund unassigned fund balance has traditionally been used by the City to fund
certain capital projects and emergency contingencies. In addition, the City will use the
unassigned fund balance in 2012 as a cash flow bridge to the receipt of property tax revenues
from the County collection authority which distributes property tax revenue two times per year
(June and December). General Fund unassigned balance will provide sufficient cash to cover City
operating obligations without incurring tax anticipation notes and resultant borrowing costs during
fiscal 2012.
As discussed in Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), a general
fund unassigned fund balance should be either 1) no less than 5 to 15 percent of regular general
fund operating revenues, or 2) no less than one to two months of regular general fund operating
expenditures. An unassigned fund balance may be higher if varying circumstances require such
as a delay in collection of a major revenue source.
The Parks and Recreation Fund experienced an increase in fund balance of $126,844 during
fiscal 2011. The increase in fund balance was due primarily to the receipt of payment -in -lieu of
taxes from the wastewater and water utilities in the amount of $580,875 beginning in 2011. Parks
Board and Parks Administration continued in 2011 with prudent management of expenditures and
commitments in light of current and future projected revenue streams.
As of December 31, 2011, the restricted fund balance in the Parks and Recreation Fund was
$4,463,123, or 39.2% of 2011 revenue.
The Public Safety Local Option Income Tax Fund ( "Public Safety LOIT) was created in
October 2009, with the local legislative passage of an increase in local option income taxes of
0.95 %, a part of which (0.25 %) tax increase was established to fund public safety expenditures.
The City has established the Public Safety LOIT Fund as a major governmental fund, due solely
to its purpose of creating a funding source to sustain public safety staffing levels, which were
compromised by state implementation of property tax reform that has reduced property tax
revenues, which historically are the source of public safety funding. Operating transfers are made
quarterly from the Public Safety LOIT Fund to the General Fund to cover the personnel costs of
police officers and firefighters. Receipts of Public Safety LOIT tax revenue commenced in
January 2010. The revenue collected in fiscal 2011 of $5,846,861 exceeded original projections.
The resultant increase in fund balance in the amount of $1,084,882 is restricted and will be used
in future fiscal periods to fund full staffing levels for police and fire personnel.
Fund balances as of December 31, 2011 improved versus the fund balances as of December 31,
2010 in the COIT and EDIT funds as not all planned projects were completed and expended
during 2011.
The County Option Income Tax Fund ( "COIT ") and Economic Development Income Tax
Fund ( "EDIT') funds are used to fund major capital and construction projects, economic
development initiatives, certain subsidies and support to organizations and units that benefit city
24
Management Discussion & Analysis
economic development and cultural venues, certain city -wide expenditures such as telephone
costs, and certain debt service payments.
The COIT fund increased by $1,010,826 during 2011 due to higher income tax receipts than
originally estimated and conservative commitment of expenses to initiatives of the highest priority.
The City has operationally sequestered COIT funds for use in major capital and construction
funding initiatives, certain subsidies and support to organizations and units that benefit city
economic development and cultural venues, information technology costs, city-wide expenditures
like telephone costs, and certain debt service payments.
As of December 31, 2011, the COIT Fund balance of $17,928,838 included assigned fund
balance of $14,533,001 and non - spendable fund balance of $3,395,837, primarily for property
held for resale and advances to other funds.
The EDIT fund increased by $255,883 during 2011 due to higher income tax receipts than
originally estimated and conservative commitment of expenses to initiatives of the highest priority.
The City has operationally sequestered EDIT funds for use in major economic development
initiatives, certain subsidies and support to organizations and units that benefit city economic
development and cultural venues, and certain debt service payments.
As of December 31, 2011, the EDIT Fund balance of $9,837,412 included assigned fund balance
of $9,387,581 and non - spendable fund balance of $449,831, consisting of property held for
resale.
The fund balance in the TIF Airport Fund decreased by $8,373,426 during 2011 due to planned
spending for capital projects including a new Animal Control facility, improvements at Ignition
Park (industrial park), Oliver Plow Memorial, continued demolition of the historical Studebaker
automobile factory buildings, the extension of Mayflower Road and other economic development
initiatives.
As of December 31, 2011 the TIF Airport Fund fund balance of $30,439,306 included $9,562,208
in property held for resale, $1,759,923 advances to other funds (primarily to the Blackthorn golf
course) and $19,117,175 in assigned fund balance.
The TIF Airport Fund continues to be a major success for the City of South Bend and has
generated in excess of $500 million dollars in private investment since its inception.
During 2011, the fund balances in Other Governmental funds decreased by $5,266,723. This
decrease in fund balance was primarily the result of planned spending of $4.418,858 in the
Coveleski Stadium Bond construction fund, a fund established in late 2010 with bond financing.
These fund balances provide available resources that the City requires to meet future capital
construction needs, ongoing debt service obligations, and economic development project
initiatives in concert with the City vision for economic development within the City footprint.
Individual fund data for each of the non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of the
combining statements in the Supplemental Information section of the CAFR report.

Tax revenue continues to represent the most significant source of revenue required to support
services provided by the City. Property tax revenue is the primary source of funding for
governmental expenditures. Property tax revenue is based on a relationship between two
variables. The first variable is the assessed property valuation of industrial, commercial and
residential parcels for both real and personal property. The second variable is the application of a
tax rate to arrive at the total tax levy. Taxable property is assessed at 100% of the true tax value.
The amount of property tax levied (billed to property owners) is further restricted by State of
Indiana enacted property tax legislative reform, or so- called "circuit breaker" property tax caps in
2009 of 1.0% (homestead), 2.0% (other residential /rental) and 3.0% (commercial /industrial) of
gross assessed valuation. Property tax revenue includes taxes collected on behalf of the
following funds: General Fund, Parks and Recreation Fund, Cumulative Capital Development
Fund, Redevelopment Tax Incremental Financing ( "TIF ") Funds, and a special levy to cover debt
service of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The City recognizes the need to further diversify the revenue stream, and to reduce its
dependency on general property taxes to ensure that a broad base of users of city services,
including nonresidents who work in the City, share in the funding of basic City services. As a
result of the need to diversify the revenue stream, the City of South Bend Common Council and
Saint Joseph County Council adopted an additional local option income tax of 0.95% during 2009,
increasing the tax rate from 0.8% to 1.75 %. The local option income tax increase consisted of
three components: 0.2% increase in the economic development income tax, a new 0.25% public
safety local option income tax and a new 0.5% property tax relief local option income tax.
The City continues to seek diversified sources of revenue that will reduce its reliance on property
and income taxes. The City has supported efforts of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns
( "IACT") "Hometown Matters" to lobby the state legislature to legislatively enable alternative
revenue sources that best fit the needs of the community. A viable source of revenue is from
user fees and/or charges for services currently being performed. City performed services are
priced based at levels representing the full cost of service, taking into consideration fees charged
by providers of similar services. The City performs ongoing reviews of user fee costs incurred and
revises service fee prices as required.

Government fund expenditures in fiscal 2011 of $172,397,679 increased by $21,639,665 or
14.4 %, in comparison to government fund expenditures in fiscal 2010.
Capital outlay expenditures increased by $24,738,508 during 2011 due primarily to an increase in
spending on economic development projects from local option income tax funds and tax
increment financing (TIF) funds. These projects include improvements at Ignition Park, the
Triangle housing development, LaSalle Square improvements, the Oliver Chilled Plow Memorial,
an extension of Mayflower Road, continued demolition of the Studebaker automobile factory
buildings, Coveleski Stadium improvements and other economic development initiatives.
Public Safety expenditures increased $8,622,625 or 14.1% as the initiative to increase the
employment force of sworn police and fire personnel commenced according to City plans outlined
in the tax increase legislation passed by the Common Council in 2009. In addition, higher police
and fire pension payments were made during 2011 and this cost was allocated to public safety.
Highways and Street expenditures decreased by $7,219,562 as the costs of the Engineering
department were reclassified to General Government. In addition, certain street construction
projects in the City were paid from economic development funds and were classified as capital
outlay.
Public Safety expenditure continues to be the primary use of government fund resources with
40.4% of expenditures used for this purpose in fiscal 2011. Public safety spending is followed by
capital project expenditures (27.1 %), debt service (12.1 %), culture and recreation (8.0 %),
economic development operating (5.6 %), general government (3.9 %) and highways & streets
(2.9 %). General government spending is comprised of the executive offices of the Mayor,
Common Council, City Clerk, City Attorney, Controller, Engineering and other administrative
offices.

The City of South Bend maintains two types of proprietary funds; enterprise and internal service.
The City maintains seven (7) enterprise funds. Information is presented separately in the
proprietary statement of net assets and the proprietary statement of revenues, expense and
changes in fund net assets for the Water Utility, Wastewater Utility and Century Center, which are
considered major enterprise funds. Data from the other four (4) non -major enterprise funds
(Consolidated St. Joseph County /South Bend Building Department, Parking Garage, Solid Waste
and Blackthorn Golf Course) are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
The City maintains five (5) internal service funds. The City of South Bend uses internal service
funds to account for its business insurance and self- funded liability insurance program, self -
funded employee health benefits program, police take home vehicle program, unemployment
compensation claims and central services unit (a department that accounts for expenses related
to fuel, vehicle repairs, printing and other services provided to City departments on a cost -
reimbursement basis). The internal service funds have been combined into a single, aggregated
presentation.

Management Discussion & Analysis
As of December 31, 2011, City enterprise funds reported a net asset position of $164,401,329, an
increase of $9,710,075 or 6.3% versus the level as of December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2011, net asset position includes capital assets, net of related debt of
$103,923,028, restricted net assets of $12,937,988 and unrestricted net assets of $47,540,313.
The Water and Wastewater utilities reported an increase in net assets of $1,122,395 and
$8,312,630, respectively, during 2011. During 2011, the Wastewater utility benefitted from a 9%
increase in sewer rates and from a $3.3 million capital contribution from the EDIT fund for capital
projects in connection with the combined sewer overflow program. The rates for the Water utility
did not increase but it did receive a $377,308 capital contribution during 2011.
During 2011, Century Center experienced an increase in net assets of $410,627 as the result of
capital contributions in the amount of $614,423 from capital improvements at the facility paid for
from tax increment financing and other funding sources.
Other Enterprise Funds experienced a decrease in net assets of $135,577 as total revenue was
flat and expenses increased modestly, especially in the Solid Waste Fund that had higher landfill
costs in 2011 as compared to 2010.
As of December 31, 2011, City internal service funds reported a net asset position of
$13,861,477, an increase of $648,767 or 4.9% as compared to 2010. The Liability Insurance fund
and Central Services fund reported increases in net assets of $718,068 and $302,260,
respectively. The Self- Funded Employee Benefits fund reported a decrease in net assets
$423,178 due to higher health insurance claims paid by Anthem, the City's insurance provider.
Fiduciary funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. The City maintains five fiduciary funds, which consist of two pension trust funds
(1925 Police Pension and 1937 Firefighter's Pension), one private - purpose trust fund (Cemetery)
and two agency funds (Payroll and Morris /Palais Royale Box Office).

Net assets 3,884,925 40,965

The net assets in the pension trust fund decreased by $297,151 during 2011. The net assets in
the private purpose trust fund (Cemetery) increased by $160 due to interest earnings.
Effective in fiscal 2009, with the passage of State legislation, funding responsibility for the 1925
Police and 1937 Firefighter's Pension Funds was assumed by the State of Indiana. These
funds no longer receive property tax revenue distributions beyond fiscal 2009. The transfer of
pension responsibility to the State of Indiana is on a reimbursement basis and will not provide
additional revenue to the City for use in other property tax funded areas. The administration of the
pension plans remains the responsibility of the City.
The State of Indiana reimbursement is on a year delayed basis whereas, reimbursement in fiscal
2011 from the State of Indiana included reimbursement for pension benefits paid by the City in
fiscal 2010. In addition, State reimbursement excludes healthcare benefit coverage to pension
plan members, which is covered under the City of South Bend pension benefit program and
which is paid from the pension trust funds.
29
Management Discussion & Analysis
The decline in the net asset position of the pension trust is the result of timing differences in the
payment of pension benefits and the reimbursement of same from the State of Indiana, as well as
the cost of healthcare benefits to pension members, not covered by the state reimbursement
program.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City prepares an annual budget for general fund expenditures, which is subject to City of
South Bend Common Council approval for adoption, before November 1s' of the year preceding,
the budget period, according to state statute concerning the annual budget of second class cities
and towns.
The general fund budget applicable for fiscal 2011 is reported as follows:
Actual Budgetary
$ (whole) Original Final Basis Variance
Revenue 63,306,324 63,529,220 60,696,679 (2,832,541)
Expenditures 63,386,324 64,344,690 62,224,384 2,620,306
Surplus (deficit) (80,000) (1,315,470) (1,527,705) (212,235)
General Fund revenue was originally budgeted at $63,306,324 for fiscal 2011 with Common
Council adoption of the 2011 general fund budget on October 25, 2010. During 2011, the General
Fund revenue budget was increased by $222,896 resulting in an ending revenue budget of
$63,529,220. The revenue budget may be increased at any time based on updated revenue
projections and includes an adjustment in the amount of $142,428 for a federal energy
conservation grant received during 2011.
During 2011, General Fund revenue achieved amounted to $60,696,679, a deficiency from the
final budget level of $2,832,541. The primary reason for the revenue shortfall was reduced
property tax collections due to circuit breaker tax legislation ($1,985,450 less than budgeted)
along with lower interest earnings on investments, E -911 grant revenue and forfeitures.
General Fund expenditures were originally budgeted at $63,386,324 for fiscal 2011 with Common
Council adoption of the 2011 general fund budget on October 25 2010. During 2011, the General
Fund expenditure budget was increased $1,458,366 resulting in an ending expenditure budget of
$64,844,690. The expenditure budget increase resulted from an encumbrance roll over at year
end 2010 to 2011 of $860,993 and additional appropriations of $597,373 (police cars and energy
grant).
General Fund spending is reviewed on a monthly basis under the direction of the City Controller
to ensure spending remains within budgetary constraints. Quarterly reviews are conducted as
required with general fund department management to review spending projections to ensure that
annual expenditures remain within the budgetary levels. Budget amendments for cost neutral
redistribution between expense categories (Le. personnel, supplies, services, capital) are
submitted to Common Council at mid year and year end, as required to adjust the budget as
necessary to prevent any budget overruns in any expense category.
Additional appropriations for projects, initiatives, or unbudgeted spending requirements within the
general fund are presented to the Common Council for adoption as deemed necessary by the
Mayor.
General Fund expenditures incurred on a budgetary basis, including cash expended and
outstanding encumbrances as of year end December 31, 2011 amounted to $62,224,384. The
expenditures and commitments as of year end December 31, 2011 are less than the 2011
30
Management Discussion & Analysis
General Fund expenditure budget by $2,620,306 or 4.2 %. The largest savings were in the police
and fire department budgets as personal and other costs spent were less than budgeted.

Management Discussion & Analysis
The new revenue bond issued in fiscal 2011 was the 2011 Sewage Works Revenue Bond in the
amount of $21,500,000 for the purpose of funding improvements for the combined sewer overflow
( "CSO ") initiative.
The 2011 Sewage Works Bond is a twenty (20) year issue with maturity in 2031 with debt service
coverage from the Sewage Works Bond Sinking fund. The bond issue will finance capital
improvements addressing combined sewer overflow issues improving sewage discharge into the
St. Joseph River, in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency ( "EPA ") consent
decree. It is a part of a twenty year long -term control plan which will require additional bonding
and sewer rate increases.
During 2011 the City entered into capital lease agreements in the amount of $4,057,635 to
purchase certain vehicles, copiers, telephones and equipment. The lease terms are typically for
five years with quarterly or semi - annual debt service paid from the operating budgets of the user
departments. The 2011 capital leases were for solid waste ($529,285), building department
($39,600), parks & recreation department ($948,067), police department ($1,081,066),
information technology ($1,444,996) and other ($14,621).
The 2011 additions in notes & loans is for Water and Wastewater Utility borrowing in 2011
against the State Revolving Loan (SRF) program in the amount of $648,505 for water and sewer
improvements.
During 2011 the City refunded four bond issuances in order to take advantage of a more
favorable interest rate environment. In August, the City refunded the 2000 Hall of Fame and 2001
Century Center bonds and realized present value interest savings of approximately $1,036,701
over the remaining life of the bonds. In December, the City refunded the 2003 Airport TIF and
2003 SBCDA (Downtown) TIF bonds with the Indiana Bond Bank and received an up -front cash
payment of $1,914,501 which was deposited into the respective TIF funds.
Under the Indiana Constitution and State statute, the City's general obligation bonded debt and
certain other debt is subject to a legal limitation based upon 2% of total assessed value of real
and personal property. The City had no general obligation bonded debt outstanding at December
31, 2011 and none of the above debt issuance amounts are subject to this debt limitation.
In 2012, the City anticipates issuing additional debt including a 2012 Water Revenue bond in the
amount of $8,300,000 and a 2012 Sewage Works Revenue bond in the amount of $21,200,000.
New capital leases will also be needed for the customary replacement of police department,
public works and other city vehicles and equipment.
Additional information on debt can be found in the notes to the financial statements in statement
note I.D.8, long -term obligation accounting, statement note III.F.2, capital lease obligations,
statement note III.G, long -term liabilities, and statement note IV.D, conduit debt.
A calculation of the City's legal debt limitation can be found in the statistical debt capacity section
of this document.
Economic Factors and 2013 Budget
Economic Factors
Property tax revenue, historically and at present, is the principal source of revenue for funding of
governmental activities within the City of South Bend.
The State of Indiana General Assembly enacted property tax reform legislation in March of 2008.
House Enrolled Act 1001 (HEA 1001) which limits property taxes paid to 1% of gross assessed
33
Management Discussion & Analysis
value for residential homesteads, 2% for agricultural /rental properties, and 3% for all other real
and personal property.
Under current legislation, all Indiana localities assess properties based on market values. Each
year properties are trended. This process involves comparing property values to sales activity in
the neighborhood and adjusting the current assessed values up or down according to the trended
data.
This legislation (known as "circuit breaker' legislation) was phased in commencing in fiscal 2009
and has lead to significant reductions in property tax revenues available to fund city governmental
operations over the period from 2009 to the present.
In 2011, the primary funds supported by property taxes (General Fund, Parks and Recreation
Fund, and Cumulative Capital Development Fund) lost approximately $11.5 million dollars due to
the circuit breaker caps.
As a consequence of the state enacted legislation in 2008, the City enacted a .95% local option
income tax increase to partially offset the property tax revenue loss. The local option tax increase
became effective in October, 2009, and has resulted in an increase in local income taxes
available to the City to fund ongoing governmental operations of public safety, parks & recreation,
code enforcement and general government.
Management of the City of South Bend will continue to manage the financial affairs from a
posture of fiscal conservatism similar to the management practices engaged during fiscal 2011.
City Management believes that the national economic recovery will continue according to the
predictions of governmental economists, with low to no inflation over the next fiscal period. In
addition, job creation is the primary engine to drive economic recovery.
2013 Budget
The City will engage to ensure effective delivery of required services to taxpayers and citizens
within the constraints of available financial resources. The City will continue to provide required
services within the constraints of a balanced general fund budget.
The City has completed certain reengineering projects during fiscal 2011 targeted to create
efficiency and cost improvements within City operations. Completed projects include payroll
system reengineering, water utility customer service improvements, information technology server
virtualization efforts and substantial implementation of a new telephone system.
The City continues to pursue reengineering programs targeted to create efficiency and cost
improvements within City operations. These include purchasing process reengineering, back
office process improvements for human resources and other customer service operations, and
state of the art customer service functionality with a centralized 311 telephone call center.
These initiatives, upon successful deployment completion, will achieve the desired results to
create efficiency gains in the delivery of services to taxpayers.
The City is committed to creating a budget for fiscal 2013 that will remain fiscally responsible to
the effective delivery of required services to city citizens and stakeholders within the revenue
constraints available.

Management Discussion & Analysis
Current Economic Development Projects
Executive management of the City of South Bend continues to pursue economic development
and public works opportunities that will have long term favorable impact on the economic
prospects for the community as a whole. These projects include:
Eddy Street Commons — continued expansion of the currently existing $220 million
dollar mixed -use development completed for occupancy in 2009. The current
configuration includes a 119 -room hotel, 25 new City homes with 100% occupancy, more
than 20 stores and restaurants, office space and 266 town homes, apartments and
condominiums, which are 85% occupied. This is the region's largest single development
in decades. Plans include further expansion of residential living space and the occupancy
completion of commercial tenants.
Innovation Park & Ignition Park— Indiana's first dual -site, state - certified technology
park, which is a collaborative effort between the City, the University of Notre Dame and
Project Future. In the first year of operation, Innovation Park is home to in excess of 30
client ventures with occupied building space in excess of 60% of the building footprint.
Concepts under development include, but are not limited to, solar - powered cases for
electronic devices, improved wind turbine technology and diagnostic tools for detecting
substances like e-coli bacteria.
The first tenant in Ignition Park, the county public transportation authority, Transpo,
dedicated its new facility in early 2010. Discussions are under way to secure the first
private sector commercial / industrial tenant in Ignition Park, an information technology
data storage company, with announcement in 2010 to construct a new facility.
• Animal Care and Control Facility — a new $1.94 million dollar Animal Care and Control
facility was under construction during 2011 (with completion scheduled for June, 2012)
with funding provided by tax increment financing revenue.
Coveleski Stadium improvements — Construction was completed in 2011 of building
enhancements to the City owner minor league baseball stadium including improved
lighting, outfield walls and restrooms, a new artificial playing surface, new or upgraded
fan amenities, and venue entrance tie -in to the central downtown footprint as phase one
of an overall strategy to develop the stadium and surrounding area in order to attract
more commercial development to the downtown. During 2011, a new owner purchased
the team and a public /private partnership was forged to make additional improvements to
the stadium.
Kroc Center — Completion of the $30 million dollar world -class youth and family center to
on the corner of Western Avenue and Chapin Streets in South Bend occurred during
2011. The Center was funded by a grant from the Ray and Joan Kroc Foundation as well
as other private donations. This is currently the only center of its kind in the State of
Indiana. Groundbreaking occurred in May, 2010 and will result in the infusion of more
than $50 million dollars in outside resources into the City. Construction was completed in
2011 with dedication and facility opening in January 2012.
• Triangle Development — planned construction of 52 new single family residential

A 2% debt limit is established by the Constitution of the State of Indiana. This limit is established for general
obligation bonds, Economic Development Income Tax revenue bonds, tax revenue notes and other types of
indebtedness. This limitation does not include revenue bonds payable from governmental funds (excluding
EDIT bonds) shown in the general long term debt account group. Indiana law allows the creation of separate
municipal corporations to provide vital governmental functions. Each of these municipal corporations (including
the Redevelopment Authority and Redevelopment Commission) has its own 2% debt limit, even if they have the
same or similar boundaries.
