AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 6657 -79, TO
MODIFY THE NON- REVERTING INSURANCE PREMIUM AND
LIABILITY RESERVE FUND.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The Common Council of the City of South Bend has deter-
mined that it is in the best interest of the City for the City
to become self - insured in certain areas of public liability
imposed upon it by law arising from the ownership of property
and acts of its employees in the course of providing services.
To further its fiscal responsibility for the City, the Common
Council established the Liability Insurance Premium and Reserve
Fund in order to cover areas of retained liability. In addition,
it authorized payment of certain departmental safety coordinators.
Increased experience under self- insurance has revealed that pay-
ment of safety coordinators is an unnecessary expense and that
safety committees would better further the stated goals of en-
couraging safety consciousness throughout the City's operations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of
the City of South Bend:
SECTION I. That Section I (A) of Ordinance 6657 -79, entitled
Payment of Certain Departmental Safety Coordinators, be deleted in
its entirety.
SECTION II. That this Ordinance shall be in full force
and effect after passage by the Common Council and approval by the
Mayor

Dear Council Members:
December 2, 1980
Attached is a proposed ordinance
which established the Liability
Fund and authorized payment for
coordinators.
219/284 -9742
amending Ordinance No. 6657 -79
Insurance Premium and Reserve
certain departmental safety
This proposed ordinance deletes the authorization for payment
of certain departmental safety coordinators. Our experience
with self- insurance has demonstrated that a more effective method
of establishing voluntary compliance with safety goals of the
City is the development of a full network of safety and health
awareness. To that end, safety committees have been established
within the City structure based on geographic location, number of
employees, and similarity of work performed. The functioning of
these committees, members of whom would serve without additional
compensation, will replace and build on the responsibilities
originally contemplated for the departmental safety coordinators.
Therefore, payment of departmental safety coordinators is no longer
a necessary component of the self- insurance safety program.
I shall be happy to discuss this proposed ordinance with you and
answer any questions you may have.
Very truly yours,
Joseph E. Kernan
City Controller
