AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND
CHANGING THE NAME OF THE STRUCTURE NOW KNOWN AS THE "MORRIS
CIVIC AUDITORIUM" TO THE "MORRIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER" AND
FIXING THE TICKET SURCHARGE RATE
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
In 1984 the South Bend Common Council enacted Ordinance 7292-84 which permitted
the Morris Civic Auditorium to allocate a portion of ticket sales to a dedicated fund for the sole
purpose of "acquiring, leasing, renovating, remodeling or otherwise improving facilities of the
Morris Civic Auditorium." Pursuant to that grant of authority the Morris Civic Auditorium seeks
to fix a per ticket surcharge of one dollar ($1.00) to be deposited into the dedicated fund created
by Ordinance No. 7292-84 and to be used for the purpose specified in that Ordinance. Such
surcharge shall not apply to established not-for-profit users for their specified events benef tting
and educating youth (Kindergarten to Grade 12), which users are exempt from this surcharge on
a limited basis.
Furthermore, the South Bend Municipal Code presently denominates the building which
is currently being renovated as the "Moms Civic Auditorium". This Ordinance authorizes the
renaming of this building to the "Morris Performing Arts Center" in order to more specifically
define the purpose for which the structure will be used.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. The "Morris Civic Auditorium" due to its renovations will now be
renamed the "Morris Performing Arts Center", effective upon passage of this ordinance.
SECTION II. The Morris Performing Arts Center shall be permitted to add a one dollar
($1.00) surcharge to the price of each of its tickets to be used exclusively for "acquiring, leasing,
renovating, remodeling or otherwise improving [its] facilities...." This surcharge shall not apply
to established not-for-profit users, inclltding South Bend Symphony Orchestra, Broadway
Theater League, Southold Dance Theater and schools located within St. Joseph County Indiana,
for their specified events benefitting and educating youth (Kindergarten to Grade 12), which
users are exempt from this surcharge for a maximum of four youth benefit events per
organization per performing year.
SECTION III. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage
by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.
