A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA CONGRATULATING AND
HONORING DON INKS FOR HIS 31 YEARS OF DEDICATED
SERVICE TO THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
�! zexPCCi, the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, is especially proud to
congratulate and honor Don Inks, the Director of Economic Resources for the City of South Bend's
Community Investment Department, for his thirty -one (3 1) years of dedicated service to the City; and
(W–meal,, Don began working for the City when Roger O. Parent was South Bend's Mayor, and
because of his knowledge and expertise he continued to provide vital professional services to the City
under Mayors Joseph E. Kernan, Stephen J. Luecke and Pete Buttigieg; and served under an even
greater number of department heads; and
over the years, Don has worn many hats in his faithful and dedicated service to the City
of South Bend - beginning as a Fiscal Officer in 1981 when Pat McMahon headed up the Department,
taking on many other titles when Jon Hunt was in charge such as Director of Business Assistance,
Director of Economic Development, Executive Director of the Business Development Corporation,
Executive Director of the Indiana Revolving Fund, Executive Director of the Corporation for
Entrepreneurial Development - just to name a few; and
Don's vision, recommendations based on detailed and meticulous reviews of thousands
of documents, countless meetings and discussions have helped shaped the rebirth of South Bend as a key
and vital economic engine in northern Indiana focusing on job creation; and
(Wee—ma,; the Common Council notes that a man with a mustache is said to be a person who
appears "intelligent, confidant, serious, and a symbol of someone who is cool" – Don Inks is truly
representative of all of these qualities and many more.
SIQf A_mOm Ge%txel md, by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
Section I. On behalf of the citizens of South Bend, Indiana, the Common Council is proud to
