We are requesting that $59000.00 be transferred to Account #221, Services Contractual, Electric Current to pay for electric current for the balance of the year. Underestimating the electric current costs for-the 1973 budget and the need to install additional park lights in the parks has caused this shortage. Increase account #254 Services Contractual, Repairs to Buildings and Structures $2,000.00. This money will be used to help repair the Potawatomi Shelterhouse which has been the victim of vandalism the past few years. We are also using revenue sharing funds to help repair this structure. Increase Account J2529 Services Contractual, Repairs to Equipment. This money will be used to overhaul the departments aerial tower. The manufacturer has redommendedt for safety reasons, that this six year old piece of equipment be returned to the factory for a complete overhaul. The aerial tower is valued at $189000.00. When men are in this tower, sixty feet above the ground, we cannot take chances on the equipment not being safe. Members of the South Bend Common Council Page 2 The money to pay for these transfers will come from account +11, Services Personal, Recreation Planner, $12,000.00. This item was put into the 1973 budget to help coordinate the planning for the proposed civic center project. Because other developments took place concerning the civic center, this job was not filled and the funds will not be used in 1973• I feel that the above mentioned transfers are needed for the effici- ent operation of the Department of Public Parks.
