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 council -
manic districts of the City to obtain information and recommendations from
the citizens in regard to the programs and priorities which should benefit
from these funds. Detailed investigations and consultations 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 appropriates 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 Department of Law to
commit and spend the full amount of this appropriation ordinance. The

in regard to the individual programs in the Department of Law which pro-
grams collectively totalled the figure of $5,000.00. This ordinance limits
the total expenditure by the Department of Law to the $5,000.00 amount.
Budget line items have been established by the individual programs to be
undertaken by the Department of Law 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.
