NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 August 16, 1976 Members of the Common Council 441 County /City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Subject: Vehicle Maintenance Equipment Appropriation Dear Council Members: �L AOUT/04/ LU LU rn a, W z a INDIANP 219/284 -9251 The Department of Public Works is filing an ordinance requesting an appropriation of $5,600 to provide hydraulic hoists for the Bureau of Vehicle Maintenance. These hoists will be used to lift cars and small trucks. As the Bureau of Vehicle Maintenance has increased the efficiency of its employees and provided additional training, the handicap posed by the lack of operable vehicle hoists has become increasingly appar- ent. Without these hoists it is necessary to use hand - operated hoists which are less efficient and should be considered less reliable. The addition of these hoists will facilitate the efforts of this De- partment to provide an increasing variety of repairs to the city vehicle fleet. It is anticipated that these hoists will contribute to the reduction of employee fatigue, as well as increasing produc- tivity through more efficient operations. Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. REF:amc CC: James Meehan Very truly yours, �/.CliSJcQ 3l Rollin E. Farrand, P.E.
