ORDINANCES
Dear President McBride:
On December 13, 2021, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10831-21 (superseding 10820-21),
which established the annual pay and monetary fringe benefits for all sworn members of the South Bend Fire
Department for calendar years 2022, 2023, and 2024. This action followed successful labor negotiations between
the City Advisory Negotiating Team working with our Agents who negotiated with the Fire Union Negotiating
Team and their Agent.
All annual pay amounts and monetary fringe benefits set forth in the proposed 2024 budget for the Fire
Department reflect the exact amounts originally established in Ordinance No. 10831-21. The attached ordinance
re-affirms all of those monetary amounts and programs for the 2024 calendar year, which were originally part of
the 3-year agreement, with one change to clarify the description of Longevity pay described in Section VII.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is requested
that this bill be filed for 1st reading on September 25, 2023, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading
scheduled for October 9, 2023. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please let me
know.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kyle Willis
City Controller <I\J I ·-'
