During the past several years, it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request department heads, fiscal staff, and city administration to conduct an extensive review of the status
of compliance with the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments periodically throughout the year. For 2024, we plan to propose adjustments during four time periods-March, June, October and December.
This substitute bill corrects an incorrect division name from Diversity & Inclusion to Streets & Sewers for the Sewage Works budget transfers. The transfer amounts remain unchanged.
J will present this substitute bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Council meetings. It is requested that this bill be filed for 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading scheduled for September 23rd, 2024.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you should have any questions, please feel to contact me at 574-235-9822.

RE: Declaratory Resolution: Multi-Family Residential Development Real Property Tax
Abatement for Property Bros LLC
Dear Council Member Warner,
Please find the enclosed Declaratory Resolution and supporting information pertaining to a tax
abatement petition submitted by Property Bros LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company. This
petition package includes:
•Department of Community Investment's summary report
•Petition for abatement
•Statement of Benefits forms (SB-1 / Real Property)
•Supporting information
The report contains the Department's findings relative to the above-mentioned petition. The
petitioner intends to construct four new duplexes at 619 Sherman Avenue, 620 Sherman
Avenue, and 1021 ½-1023 ½ Lincoln Way West. The new residential units are being developed
as part of a larger project dubbed the Legacy Project, which has a goal of providing high-quality
affordable housing in the Near Northwest Neighborhood. In October 2023, the Common Council
confirmed a real property tax abatement for Phase One of this project, which included two
rehabilitations (Scott Street and Cottage Grove Avenue) and a new duplex on Sherman. The
first phase is nearly complete, and the petitioner now seeks an abatement for Phase Two.
The total investment for this phase of the project is $1,440,000. Because this phase is only one
piece of a larger project, staff recommends an eight-year (8) multi-family residential real
property tax abatement. A representative from Property Bros, LLC, will be available to
meet with the Committee on Monday, September 23, 2024.
If you or other Council members have questions about the report or need additional information,
please feel frf to call me at (574) 235-5836.

RE: Re-Affirmation of the Annual Pay and Monetary Fringe Benefits for the South Bend Police Department
Dear President McBride:
On October 24, 2022, the South Bend Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10891-22, which established the
annual pay and monetary fringe benefits for all sworn members of the South Bend Police Department for
calendar years 2023, 2024, and 2025. This action followed successful labor negotiations between the City
Advisory Negotiating Team working with our Agents who negotiated with the FOP Negotiating Team and their
Agent.
All annual pay amounts and monetary fringe benefits set forth in the proposed 2025 budget for the Police
Department reflect the exact amounts originally established in Ordinance o. 10891-22. The attached ordinance
re-affirms all of those monetary amounts and programs for the 2025 calendar year, which were originally part of
the 3-year agreement.
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 23, 2024, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading
scheduled for October 14, 2024. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please let me

RE: Teamster 2025 Salary Ordinance
Dear President McBride:
Filed in Clerk's Office
... 1 1 7 2024
Bianca Tirado City Clerk, South Bend, IN
Attached is an ordinance setting the salaries for City employees that are members of the Teamsters for the
calendar year 2025. The contents of this agreement are subject to ongoing negotiations, and this ordinance and
related attachments will be updated as those negotiations conclude over the next several weeks.
As you will see, the ordinance contemplates a four-year contract. However, that may change as a result of
negotiations, so we would amend the title of the contract if the contract is fewer than four years. We believe this
would not require another publication of the ordinance.
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 23, 2024, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading
