AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, APPROPRIATING THE FIXED SUM OF $150,000.00 PLUS UP TO AN
ADDITIONAL $125,000.00 FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCOME TAX
(EDIT) FUND #408 FORCAPITAL OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO AGREEMENT
WITH THE POTAWATOMI ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend through its Board of Park Commissioners entered into a Lease
and Management Agreement (the Agreement) with the Potawatomi Zoological Society (PZS),
effective January 1, 2014, by which the City granted to PZS all rights to manage and operate the
Potawatomi Zoo for a period of five years. Among the obligations of the City of South Bend
pursuant to the Agreement at Section 6.4 is to pay to PZS in calendar year 2014 the fixed, initial
sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) for capital improvements to the
Potawatomi Zoo Premises. Additionally, at Section 6.5 of the Agreement, the City has agreed to
share with PZS the cost to resurface and/or strip the existing parking lot and create an additional
parking area in 2014 for the benefit of Zoo visitors as well as Potawatomi Park visitors. The net
City share of the cost is Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.
Because the City's financial obligation to the PZS under the Agreement was unknown
when the City's 2014 Budget was approved, it is necessary at this time to appropriate the
necessary capital funds for payment to PZS, and for parking lot improvement costs in 2014 per
the terms of the Agreement. This ordinance accomplishes that purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
SECTION I. The sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) be and
hereby is appropriated from and set aside within Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT)
Fund 4408 for the purpose of payment to the Potawatomi Zoological Society (PZS) in calendar
year 2014 for capital improvements to the Potawatomi Zoo premises pursuant to the terms and
obligations of the Board of Park Commissioners' Lease and Management Agreement (the
Agreement) with PZS.
SECTION II. The additional sum of up to One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand
Dollars ($125,000) be and hereby is appropriated from and set aside within Economic
Development Income Tax (EDIT) Fund #408 for the purpose of improvements to and new
surface of the parking lot in Potawatomi Park pursuant to the terms of the Agreement with PZS.
The City shall pay all costs and expenses to complete the parking lot improvements and then
shall seek reimbursement from PZS for its share of costs not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000).
SECTION III. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage
by the Common Council and approval by the May(
