ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE FIXING MAXIMUM SALARIES OF APPOINTED OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, FOR THE YEAR 1969. This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above Ordinance, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Speaking against the Ordinance was Mr. Arthur L. Mason, 1618 E. Calvert St. and Miss Virginia Guthrie, executive secretary of the South Bend Civic Planning Association. She questioned several salaries proposed and read the following letter from the South Bend Civic Planning Assn.. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE JU X 22, 1968 July 20, 1968 Members of the Committee of the Whole South Bend Common Council South Bend, Indiana Mrs. Allen and Gentlemen: The Directors of the South Bend Civic Planning Association have reviewed the salary ordinance which you will review in public session Monday evening. We-are enclosing some recommendations for you to consider prior to that hearing. It is not possible to estimate the cost to the taxpayers if all of the proposed increases were granted since this information is available only when the number of people in the various categories is disclosed in the budget itself. However we appreciate the desirability of recognizing service and on that basis make a general recommendation of a $240.00 increase for full time employees, others to be adjusted accordingly. We recommend that the $480.00 for the President of the Council be eliminated from the salary ordinance and be included in Contractual section of the Council budget. We recommend that the salary and position of Safety Commissioner be eliminated for lack of information on the duties, and the necessity for such position. We recommend that the salary of the City Engineer remain as proposed as we find it is in line with that paid in private business, but also in view of the performance of the present City Engineer. We recommend that the salary of the H R and F E P C Director remain as proposed as we have been told this is in line with the salaries he received when he held two positions - one for the schools and a summer position with the city. The above and the attached sheet cover our major portion of our recommendations. We will have some points to be clarified further on Monday evening. Thanking you for your consideration of these points, we are Yours sincerely, SOUTH BEND CIVIC PLANNING ASSN. Inc. /s/ Byron W. Faust, President The Communication was accepted as read, and placed on file. Councilman Wise made a motion for recess. Councilman Palmer seconded the motion. Motion carried. Time: 9:00 P.M.
