Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. Director, Public Works CITY of SOUTH BEND PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 August 3, 1977 Members of the 441 County /City South Bend, IN Common Council Building 46601 Dear Councilmen: 219/284 -9251 The attached ordinance provides for the transferring of $20,000 from a surplus account within the MVH Fund (Account No. 120.0, Salaries and Wages, Temporary) to Account No. 252.1, Equipment Modification ($7,000) and Account No. 430.0, Repair Parts ($13,000). This transfer is being requested in order to make available sufficient funds to address equipment modification and repair items required through the balance of 1977. These monies will be disbursed at the direction of Mr. James Meehan, Manager of the Bureau of Vehicle Maintenance. Expenditures for these activities are normally funded through Mr. Meehan's budget. Mr. Meehan's budget for 1977, however, has proven to be insuf- ficient to address current and anticinatiad d mandc When preparing the yearly budget, a certain volume of repair work is anticipated, based upon past experience and the current status of the Street Department's equipment. The actual volume and nature of repairs made to the Street Department's fleet is obviously a function.of the seasonal weather pattern. The severe weather which we experienced last winter not only increased the volume of repair work required to the Street Department fleet, but also necessitated that many of the more routine and anticipated repairs be scheduled into early spring, due to the increased strain placed upon this equipment. Members of the Common Council Page Two August 3, 1977 A review of the work already performed on the Street Department fleet, coupled with the proposed vehicle replacement schedule, allows us to estimate that approximately $20,000, as distributed on the attached ordinance, will be required to offset the cost of the above described repairs, and provide an adequate level of service to the fleet through the end of this year. Surplus funds have become available in the Temporary Salary and Wages Account of the MVH Fund through the first six months of 1977. The Street Department has experienced a rather large change over in personnel during this period; idle payroll funds,resulting from an accumulation of those periods that certain positions remained vacant, have accumulated to an amount sufficient to address this transfer. Should you have any question in regard to this request, or should you re- quire additional documentation, please contact me at your earliest con- venience. Your favorable consideration is requested. cry ruly yours, /GL Patrick M. McMahon, P.E.
