REGULAR MEETING COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (Continued) ORDINANCE JULY 26, 1971 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE WATER WORKS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AND CLOW CORPORATION, BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS, FOR THE PURCHASE OF: I. CAST IRON OR DUCTILE PIPE AND FITTINGS; II. MECHANICAL JOINT GATE VALVES, IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $618,063.13' b,. This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Mr. John L. Hunter, Water Works Super- intendent for the City of South Bend, said that negotiation for the contract for a three -year period was entered into on June 17, 1971. Prices for the above utilities were the same for the first two years with a possible 6/ increase in prices for the third year which was likely due to the escalating economy throughout the nation. Chairman Grounds opened the ordinance to dis- cussion from the floor. Miss Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Asso- ciation, asked if prices did not increase would the City receive the benefit of any decrease. Mr. Hunter replied that no decrease was forseeable and that the City would get no benefit of a decrease. Mr. Hunter stated that prices are based on an estimate of a purchase of 10,000 feet of pipe; City could buy any quantity or none. We buy none until contract is signed and delivery is made dependent upon need. Mrs. Faith A. Martin, Secretary for the St. Joseph County Fair Tax Association, asked if this was the first time the City would enter into a three -year contract for such utilities. Mr. Hunter specified that this is the first time a request has been made for a three -year contract. Others have been for only one year. Mr. Hunter referred to his letter to the Council dated June 23, 1971 which recommends that Clow Corporation be awarded the contract We can justify the award, and the prices for the fittings are lower. Councilman Janet Allen stated that she did not approve of a three -year contract for these utilities; 1968 -69 and 1970 -71 prices were too different. Mr. Hunter noted it was a mistake in not awarding a three -year con- tract last year. He stated that he did not believe present prices would stay, he felt they would increase. Seven companies submitted bids and Clow Corporation was the lowest bidder with no increase in prices for two years. Councilman Janet Allen asked for alternates on this ordinance. Mr. Hunter stated that the contract can be let for one year or any alternate; but recommended that the Board sign a three -year contract. Councilman Reinke requested figures for a one -year contract and Council President Laven mentioned that Mr. Hunter said the Council had requested alternate bids for two and three years. Mr. Hunter replied the City could have a one -, two -, or three -year contract. City Attorney Shepard J. Crumpacker noted that the Council cannot approve or disapprove a contract; such action can only be taken on an amendment to the present ordinance or a new ordinance. Mr. Hunter stated his department would have submitted alternates if it was known they were wanted. Council President Laven inquired, if there are alternates, whether the Council could vote on a suggestion of accepting the contract for the first two years. City Attorney Crumpacker stated the Council could adopt a resolution to this effect. Councilman Janet Allen stated there was an increase in the two -year contract and Councilman Palmer asked which bid was the lowest. Mr. Hunter replied that Clow Corporation bid was the lowest because of trans - portation costs. Councilman Janet Allen made a motion that this ordinance go to the Council as unfavorable, seconded by Councilman Reinke. Motion carried. 7 ayes, 1 nay, 1 absent (Council- man Zielinski).

Mr. Forrest West, Building Commissioner for the City of South Bend, stated that this ordinance, as proposed, is to establish an editorial change to delete from the ordinance the words, "and all amendments thereafter ".

This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon. Mr. Forrest West, Building Commissioner for the City of South Bend, stated that this action is necessary by some requirements of the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. He stated the City of South Bend and the State of Indiana should adopt standard codes; Amendment by the State of Indiana, Volume 3, 1968 is the latest plumbing code. He felt the City should stay with Indiana for plumbing codes in the future. Mr. Roman Kowalski, 802 Birchway, South Bend, Indiana, inquired if this was another editorial change. Mr. West replied that it is to the effect that we are endorsing the Indiana State Code. Mr. Kowalski stated he felt we needed to follow the directives of the Federal Government. Councilman Craven 'inquired if we were weakening our current codes by these adoptions, and if we-were allowing Romex in high -rise buildings. He stated we are endorsing the Indiana State Code and that our city codes were better than those of the State. Mr. West replied that the City code is too restrictive. Councilman Reinke made a motion to adopt the ordinance as favorable, seconded by Council President Laven. Motion carried. 8 ayes, 1 absent (Councilman Zielinski) . REGULAR MEETING JULY 26, 1971 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (Continued) ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE I, OF THE SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, MUNICIPAL CODE, 1962, AS AMENDED This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard thereon.

(Hrly.) Robert Emerick, E.D.P. Manager for the Water Works, stated that the E.D.P. Manager classifica- tion was established last year at $10,000 and classification of Computer Programmer at $7,800. He stated that the split in that category of $7;200;,$7,800 and $8,600 was to provide a career ladder for water works personnel and that these salaries were not out of line with what industry is paying.. Miss Guthrie said, "Thanks for the dent, even though small, for tax relief." She stated that the South Bend School Corporation gave a 1.491. increase to teachers; the County Council ave $200 00 or a 5/ increase across the board. Glenn L. Barbe, Associate Director of Redevelopment spoke in defense of the budget of Redevelopment. REGULAR MEETING JULY 26, 1971 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING (Continued) ORDINANCE (Continued) Mr. James A. Bickel, City Controller, stated that after passage of the ordinance, time will be allowed for publication of the budget. Miss Guthrie stated tax increases went from 16% in 1957 to 70% in 1968. South Bend is the city with the seventh highest tax bill among cities of com- parable size - $350,000 or 164 on the rate. This she felt was unfair. Council President Laven stated that the public hearings on salaries was being held right now and the implication that this ordinance is unfair was unfounded. Mr. Kenneth Buhle, Business Representative for 400 City workers with Teamsters Local #364 of Indiana, 6,000 strong, stated that the 1.4% merit increase to teachers comes out over a 5% increase. Mr. Buhle presented the following letter: of " "TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL: July 26, 1971 The Teamsters Local Union No. 364 of South Bend, Indiana, Mr. Roland Wardlow, President, would like to go on record as favoring the Wage and Salary Committee's recommendation of a 5% increase to all South Bend City Workers. We are in favor of the 5% figure not because it is what we asked for in negotiations or what we truly believe to be a decent wage settlement but because we feel realistically this was the limit that could be approved at this time. The 5% figure in no way represents a pay increase or an increase in buy- ing power to the City Employee. It is unlikely to even cover the pro- jected cost -of- living for the year 1971. Public Employees trade at the same market place as do all other employees in the private sector. They have been hit by the same runaway inflation that others in the private sector have experienced. They are entitled to at least an increase that protects what they already have. We know there are many people who suffer from rising inflation and those on a fixed income suffer most, but even Social Security has been in- creased greatly in the last year and now has a built -in cost -of- living to insure the retiree against inflation. A point for the taxpayer to consider is that the City, in order to perform its duties, has to compete against private industry for its manpower. If the City is forced or badgered into paying substandard wages, the only losers will be the taxpayers themselves because substandard wages usually bring substandard performance. In closing, I again would like to support the 5% wage increase recommended by the fees and salary committee as the rock bottom figure -- well within the Presidential Guidelines for non - inflationary settlements. Thank you for your consideration on this subject. Chauffeurs, Teamsters and Helpers Local Union No. 364" Mrs. F. S. Wlodarski, 1869 Riverside Drive, South Bend, Indiana, Member of the St. Joseph County Fair Tax Board, submitted the following letter: it July 26, 1971" "TO: Members of the South Bend Common Council RE: Proposed Salary Ordinance for 1972 Gentlemen and Mrs. Allen: In considering the above - identified ordinance, we urge you to keep in mind the bond appropriations made throughout the year, rising costs of welfare, and in particular, the Portage Township poor relief situation. We feel the proposed 5% increase is not in line with the ordinances passed by contiguous cities and the County. We recommend: 1. A 3% or cost of living increase for the deserving civil city employee in the lower half of the salary bracket. 2. Freeze or lower incomes over $14,000.00 for some uniformity for comparable work and responsibility. Remember some of our taxpayers' incomes are at the poverty level. 3. Consider consolidating some department heads' positions with assistants. 4. Allow no new personnel. Due to the failure of the state legislators to provide tax relief for the property owner, it is encumbent upon our City Council to help provide that relief. This can only be accomplished by curtailing expenditures at every level. Yours very truly, /s/ Faith A. Martin, Secretary ST. JOSEPH COUNTY FAIR TAX ASS, 601'0 REGULAR MEETING COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (Continued) ORDINANCE (Continued July 26, 1971 Fanny Grunwald, 227 South Frances Street, South Bend, Indiana, stated that rising taxes were hard on the retired employee on limited income. She noted that when Social Security payments go up, the City taxes also go up. She felt the taxes should be. held and relief provided so as not to create hardship on citizens with limited income. City Attorney Crumpacker stated the City had hoped to save money to apply to the Recruit Program (police). He said such employees would be employed at a civilian status while they were being trained. During training, these recruits could be observed to determine if they would make good police officers by their talents, atti- tudes, etc. and thereby the City would be able to ascertain if they were qualified to make good police officers. As is now, Police Cadets, once sworn in, cannot be discharged if they show to be poor officers or improper attitude, unless they commit some serious infraction of the police code. He further stated that salaries for cadets total - than for recruits. This pro- gram would also release present police officers to do ncessary police duties, patroling, etc., and the recruits could be kept inside to handle routine paper work and similar minor duties now being handled by present properly qualified and trained officers. He stated this program would save the City much in tax dollars for the program of recruits budget is some 24 to 25 thousand dollars lower than that of the police cadet training program. It was further pointed out that a saving could also be made as recruits were not covered in the Police Pension Plan. Councilman Palmer questioned this educational program because police cadets are also under a training pro- gram; this recruit program would add other trainees -- where would the saving be? City Attorney Crumpacker stated the City would have these people on the payroll in one capacity or another. Councilman Palmer stated he could not understand that the recruits would save the City any money. Councilman Craven stated that formerly the Council used to interview prospective police officers (cadets). He said that the Council had received no word on this program of recruits. Robert L. Hostetler, 206 Jennings Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, stated that every corner that can be cut should be taken. He stated we need industry in South Bend; the more industry coming in broadens the tax base and South Bend's taxpayers need tax relief. He further stated that of cities all over the country of comparable size, 134 have a lower tax rate than South Bend. Fanny Grunwald asked for clarification of the difference between police cadets and recruits. It was explained that in the age bracket of 25 -30 and older, many men wish to get on the Police Force. Perhaps they are not sure they will be happy as police officers, or perhaps they will not qualify. Recruits are employed on civilian status and unqualified men will not be accepted as police officers as opposed to cadets who are sworn in as officers prior to training. At this point Council Chairman Grounds suggested that the Council recess for fifteen minutes to discuss proposed salaries. It was moved by Councilman Palmer and seconded by Council- man Wise in favor of the recess. 8 ayes, 1 absent (Councilman Zielinski). Motion carried. Time 10:15 P.M.
