AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 6, OF THE

The South Bend Common Council has developed a thorough yet reasonable

Informatio'is hereby amended by the inclusion of new sub-section (20)
which shall read in its entirety as follows:

Procedures.

or day care facilities, services or benefits
currently offered or proposed to be offered

Reports Required" is hereby amended by the inclusion of new sub-section (6)

Tn d s BECK
procedures by incorporating a review procedure addressing on-site
ANN B.PUZZELLO child care or day care facilities, services, and benefits.
Fourth District
ROBERT G.TAYLOR
Fifth District !A s you are all well aware, there is a dramatic increase in
THOMAS ZAKRZEWSKI the number of parents working outside the home both nationally and
Sixth District in South Bend.
JAMES V.BARCOME
At Large The proposed ordinance would require petitioners to make
AL
At t Large known in the original petition for tax abatement the type of
JOHN VOORDE on-site child care or day care facilities, services, or benefits
At Large offered or proposed to be offered by the employer for children of
KAT
THLEENCEK NSKI-FARRAND their employees. The ordinance would also require the petitioner
to update the Council on this same topic of on-site day care or
child care facilities, services, or benefits in their annual
reports.
I believe that this would be a positive addition to the
overall tax abatement procedures utilized by our City. It would
address a real concern which impacts both employers and employees.
I look forward to discussing this ordinance with you in
greater detail and to seeking your favorable support.
Thank you.
Sincerely, ?OF
