Dear Council Members:
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601
July 7, 1982
AREA 219 284 -9261
Attached for your consideration is a bill which amends portions
of Chapter 2 of the South Bend Municipal Code, in particular,
articles which describe the structure and administration of city de-
partments, boards and commissions.
This bill is similar to the draft provided to you May 11, 1982
for your review, comments and suggestions. Since I have received no
formal comments from either the Council as a whole or individual
members I am proceeding to file this bill today to allow ample time
for Council action before the statutory deadline of September 1.
If you have questions or comments please call me or Bill
Gonzenbach.
