Odell Newburn Chairman FREW PRESS 00r�43NO PUBLISHING co. CITY OF SOUTH BEND South Bend, Indiana 46601 Jerry J. Miller Mayor Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. Director, Public Works Members of the 441 County /City South Bend, IN Gentlemen: Common Council Building 46601 Reply To: Department of Public Works September 30, 1975 On October 6, 1975 we will be presenting an ordinance appropriating $44,000 from the General Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for the purchase of gasoline needed to meet anticipated usage for the balance of 1975. In the approved budget for 1975 you granted us $170,000 to cover gasoline and diesel fuel expenses. This, along with $20,000 from the Water Works and $16,000 from the Bureau of Solid Waste, should have covered our anticipated total usage based on the highest price paid in 1974 (38.79¢ per gallon). As you are aware, gasoline prices have continued to rise at a rate greater than we had anticipated. We are presently at an average price of 43 cents per gallon. We believe it would be fair to state that this is due to increased prices rather than increased usage. Our records show that gasoline consumption for 1974 was 525,421 gallons. We are projecting the 1975 usage to be 530,000 gallons based on the first eight months consumption. We also can document the usage in 1974 of 40,728 gallons of diesel fuel, while 1975 usage is projected to be 63,500 gallons. This increase is due to the com- pleted delivery of the Mack diesel - powered dump and snow plowing trucks during 1974.
