JEFFERSON BOULEVARD SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601-1830 CITY OF SOUTH BEND JAMES MUELLER, MAYOR DEPARTMENT OF LAW SANDRA KENNEDY CORPORATION COUNSEL May 7, 2024 Board of Public Works City of South Bend, Indiana Honorable Board Members, PHONE 574/235-9241 FAX 574/235-7670 TTY 574/235-5567 JENNA K THROW CITY ATTORNEY The South Bend Police Department is requesting an Addendum to the Service Agreement between the CASIE Center and Saint Joseph County Special Victims Unit (SVU). This agreement was established in 2012 and has been renewed every five years. Thus far, the collaboration between SBPD, the CASIE Center, and SVU had proven to be an effective model in investigating these sensitive cases as well as providing various resources to the victims all under one roof. All parties, SBPD included, agree that continuation of this collaboration are in the public's best interest. Attached in EXHIBIT A you will find a summary of the agreement and the scope of services provided by all involved parties. Additionally, you will find the entire 2023-2028 Service Agreement previously endorsed by the involved parties. After the 2023-2028 Service Agreement was fully executed by the City, the parties agreed to this Addendum, in main part, amending the term of the Service Agreement. The City's contribution for 2023 remains unchanged. The interested parties are in negotiations regarding the continuation of the Service Agreement in 2024 and beyond. The South Bend Police Department is asking the Board to agree to the Addendum. CC: Sgt. Aaron M.
