Dear Mr. Parent:
The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to
approve the enclosed ordinance appropriating $60,000.00 from the
Zoo Endowment Fund to account #260.0, Other Contractual Services.
The sixty thousand dollars is the first payment from the Muessel-
Ellison and Stanley and Flora Clark Trust Funds for the construction
of the Educational Services and Wildlife Building at Potawatomi
Zoo. The trust funds has committed $380,000.00 for the zoo project.
Payments will be made on a quarterly basis over the next three
years.
The Park Department appreciates the Common Council's interest and
help on the zoo project as shown by its willingness to appropriate
revenue sharing funds to complete the wildlife building.
I feel that when this structure is completed, South Bend will have
one of the finest small zoos in the midwest.
Your approval of this ordinance will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
DEPARTMENT OF P IC PARKS
