Vance 2191284.9483 Director, Administration and Finance Carol M.Sanders Chief Deputy Controller November 14, 1985 Mrs. Beverlie Beck, President South Bend Common Council 4th Floor Council Chambers South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear President Beck: Enclosed you will find an ordinance making year-end transfers for the many departments and operations of the City of South Bend. I am filing this ordinance for 1st reading the 18th of November and public hearing and 2nd reading on December 2nd. Through the passage of this ordinance, the City will be transferring the funds involved so that budgets actually reflect the expenditures that have been necessary to operate during 1985 . Please note several of the larger items involved as follows : 1. An increase in the Controller ' s budget, account 148 . 2 for $244, 748. This item was budgeted to the wrong accounts 145 . 1 and 148 . 1 which show an offsetting decrease. 2 . An increase in the Controller ' s budget, account 399 . 0, Other Contractuals for $33 , 737. This reflects unforeseen expenditures for Professional Consultants (i .e. , Crowe, Chizek & Co. ) and for unbudgeted maintenance contracts on equipment. 3 . An increase in the Board of Works budget, account 351. 0 for electricity in the amount of $99 , 736 . This is the result of a rate increase. We were also unable to realize a savings in electricity anticipated through the Executive Order reductions . 4. An increase in the Engineering budget, account 428 . 0 for Office Equipment which reflects expenditures for computer hardware that was necessary for the networking project that was undertaken in 1985 . Beverlie Beck November 14 , 1985 Page 2 5 . An increase in the Police Department budget for Salaries and Wages (Temporary) account 120. 0 and Extra and Overtime, account 130 . 0. These increases were necessitated by the Sick Buy Out Plan and to cover anticipated costs for civilian overtime and holiday pay. 6 . An increase in the Police Department ' s Motor Equipment account 427. 0. This reflects necessary expenditures for the replacement of Detective Bureau vehicles . 7. Increases in the Bureau of Vehicle Maintenance for a total of $82 , 709 . These increases resulted from an increased demand for vehicle maintenance. 8 . An increase in the Bureau of Building Maintenance, electric account, 351 . 0 for $10, 426 . This , again, is the result of an I & M rate increase. 9 . An increase in the Park Department electric account 351 . 0 for $40 , 000 , again due to a utility rate increase. 10 . An increase in the Liability Insurance Premium and Reserve Fund, account 399 .0 for Other Contractuals . This is the result of necessary expenditures for Professional Consultants . 11. Increases in Water Works General Operating fund for materials and supplies for $84, 725. These increases resulted from unanticipated water main repairs . Also an increase of $79 , 284 in the Water Works Depreciation Fund. These expenditures were for renovation to the North Street and Olive Street pumping stations . 12 . An increase in the Bureau of Sanitation budget, account 255 . 0, Other Materials , was for concrete used in sewer failures and street repairs . 13 . Century Center experienced an increase in their electricity, account 4350. 0 in the amount of $63 , 000 because of the I & M rate increase and because of increased consumption. The aforementioned increases plus the others listed in the ordinance are being offset by decreases in accounts throughout the City of South Bend. All increases within any particular fund are being offset by decreases within the same fund. Beverlie Beck November 14, 1985 Page 3 As you are aware, when the City passes a budget for any particular year, there is no way of knowing, after geting into that year ' s operations , what items will change due to circumstances that could not be foreseen.
