Mr. Roger Parent, President
South Bend Common Council
South Bend, Indiana
Dear Mr. Parent:
The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to approve the
enclosed ordinance for the transfer of funds in the General Park Fund.
I am requesting that the accounts listed in Section I of the ordinance be reduced
in the amount of $46,000.00 and that the accounts listed in Section II be increased
$46,000.00.
There was a balance in Account 11222.0, Services Contractual, Gas for the following
reasons: $5,000.00 was carried forward from the 1975 budget; a mild winter; an
effort to conserve on fuel and overbudgeting. The balances in Account 11241.0,
Services Contractual, Printing, Other than Office Supplies and Account 11362.0,
Supplies, Stationery & Printing was obtained by using the city printing department
instead of purchasing our printing from an outside firm. Account 11241.0, Printing
was reduced in next years budget. The balance in Account 11312.0, Supplies, Fuel Oil
was caused by the mild winter and the fact that most oil tanks were filled late last
year with funds from the 1975 budget and overbudgeting. Account 11312.0, was reduced
in next years budget. The large balance in Account 11630.0, Current Obligations, Re-
tirement was due to the fact that the Park Department is using more part time employees
(not eligible for P.E.R.F.) and C.E.T.A. employees whose P.E.R.F. payments are not made
from the park.budget. The retirement account was reduced in next years budget.
Shortages have occurred in the park budget because of inflated prices; additional
services such as added lights; unforseen repairs to buildings and structures; an in-
crease in insurance payments; higher electric rates and underbudgeting in the 1976
budget.
I feel that the Park Department is fortunate to have funds available in the park budget
that can be transferred from one account to another and at this time does not require
an additional appropriation for its operation.
I feel your approval of this ordinance is necessary for the efficient operation of the
Department of Public Parks.
Very truly yours,
MENT OF L G PARKS
