Department of Pablie Parks Administration Building St, Louis Boulevard at Wayne Street South Bend, Indiana 46617 August 21, 1973 Members of the South Bend Common Council County -City Building 217 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to approve the enclosed ordinance for the appropriation of $15e164•35 from interest earned on the purchase of'- certificates of deposit. In 19729 the Park Department sold bonds in the amount of $600,000.00 to purchase land and construct a park and recreation center complex at the Linden School' -site. The bond issue also included monies for site development and equipment for the building. Because of change orders and the increased cost of equipment, the contingency fund in the bond issue will not be sufficient to pay for site development, additional change orders, furniture and equipment for the building. Before and during the construction period, the Park Department invested the bond funds in certificates of deposit and earned $159.35 which we are re- questing to be appropriated so that the King Park ,& Recreation Center can be completed.
