STATEMENT OF PURPOSES AND INTENT
The Federal Government has provided general revenue sharing
funds to the City of South Bend beginning in the year 1972, and the
Federal Government has indicated that this program shall continue for
a period of five years. This fund is legally known as the Federal
Assistance Grant Fund. The Mayor of the City of South Bend and the
South Bend Common Council has conducted town forum meetings in all the
councilmanic districts of the City to obtain information and recommenda-
tions from the citizens in regard to the programs and priorities which
should benefit from these funds. Detailed investigations and consulta-
tions have been conducted by all the councilmen, the Mayor and all cabinet
departments in regard to all of the recommendations made before, during,
and after these town hall meetings. This particular ordinance appro-
priates funds received from the Federal Government for the years 1972
and 1973. No appropriations are included in this ordinance which involves
federal money for 1974. This appropriation is intended as an authorization
to the Controller's Office to commit and spend the full amount of this
appropriation ordinance. The total amount of this ordinance was arrived
at by consensus of agreement in regard to the individual programs in the
Controller's Office which programs collectively totalled the figure of
$50,000.00. This ordinance limits the total expenditure by the Controller's
Office to the $50,000.00 amount. Budget line items have been established
by the individual programs to be undertaken by the Controller's Office
with the money appropriated under this ordinance. If adjustments need
to be made to transfer funding from one program budget to another program
budget within the total ordinance appropriation, such budget adjustments
must receive the approval of the Common Council.

the City of South Bend as follows:
