STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT: The task of providing a satisfying and stimulating urban envir- onment has become a greater and greater challenge. There is a growing recognition that if our cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas are to be liveable and pleasant it is essential that a system of parks, recrea- tional facilities /areas, open space, and even some measure of wilderness are available to all segments of the urban population. As part of this task the Division of Community Development and the Department of Public Parks has established a long -term objective of increasing the park, open space, and recreational opportunities available to inner -city residents by improving existing parks and recreational facilities. In order to achieve this objective, the Division of Community Development and Department of Public Parks require additional funds: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: SECTION I.

These funds have been previously approved by the Council as a part of our 1979 budget under the General Parks Improvements /Urban Park Grant Match line item. These funds were not appropriated with all other 1979 projects, since we were unsure of whether South Bend would qualify for the Urban Parks Program. Since we do not qualify, we are requesting that the funds be applied to general park improve- ments. The CD staff in conjunction with the Park Department has had several discussions on where these funds should be used to best meet CD priorities and Park Department needs. The following general areas of improvement and amounts were decided upon. LaSalle Park has been allocated $15,500 for, (1) resurfacing of existing tennis courts, (2) resurfacing of existing basket- ball courts, (3) addition of picnic tables, and (4) addition of a spiral slide. King Center Park has been allocated $14,500 for, (1) resurfacing of existing tennis courts, (2) resurfacing of existing basketball courts, (3) addition of banquet tables and chairs, and (4) addition of a spiral slide. We respectfully request your favorable consideration of this bill.
