IND. Department of Public Parks Administration Building St. Louis Boulevard at Wayne Street South Bend, Indiana 46617 PHONE: (219) 284 -9401 April 4, 1978 Mr. Roger Parent, President South Bend Common Council County -City Building 227 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana Dear Mr. Parent: The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to give favorable action on an ordinance appropriating $88,000.00 from interest earned on Certificate of Deposits from the proceeds of the 1977 Park District Bond Issue ($2,170,000.00). Because of higher than anticipated bids received on the zoo projects, some exhibits and other work had to be deleted to keep the cost below the bond limit. The park staff and controller's office worked out a cash flow plan and invested idle funds in certificates of deposit thus earning $88,000.00 in interest. If the ordinance is approved,,. much of the funds would be used for paving, coati mundi exhibit, lighting and change orders that always occur in large construction projects. The Park Board feels the approval of this ordinance is very important and urges the Common Council to give their favorable approval. Very truly yours, DEP MENT OF P C ARKS 3 es R.
