BLCUGH CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, fND. August 21, 1968 Members Common Council City Hall South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: The Board of Park Commissioners has passed a resolution transferring $5,500.00 from account #211, Electric Current, to account #51, Insurance and Premiums. The amount quoted by the Bath Insurance Co. to prepare the 1968 budget is not sufficient to cover outstanding premiums for the balance of the year. The Bath Insurance has estimated that approximately $5,500.00 will be re- quired for the remainder of 1968. As of this date we have $11.30 balance in account #51, Insurance and Premiums. The reasons for the increase of insurance is due to the added cost of Workmens Compensation and General Liability coverage. We are transferring from account #221, Electric Current. There will be a surplus of funds in account #221, Electric Current because of the time required by the Indiana and Michigan Electric Co. to install new lights throughout the Park system. There is a balance in account 4221, Electric Current as of August 7, 1968, of $25,360.27. We feel that with the $5,500.00 reduction we still can meet our electric current payments for the balance of 1968. Very truly yours, James Seitz Executive Secretary JS:mh
