2014 Annual Report of the Personnel and Finance Committee
Date: January 25, 2015
To: The South Bend Common Council
The Office of the City Clerk
From: Council Member Valerie Schey
Pursuant to § 2 -10 (i) of the South Bend Municipal Code I am filing this report which briefly
highlights some of last year's activities of the Personnel and Finance Committee.
As each of you will recall, the Personnel and Finance Committee is charged with overseeing
the activities performed by the Department of Administration and Finance and reviewing
all proposed salary budget appropriations and other fiscal matters as well as personnel
policies and all health benefit related matters.
We were fortunate to have Mr. Christopher Huff, our citizen member, who diligently served
on this Committee last year. Likewise, the Council Members who served included myself as
Committee Chairperson, Dr David Varner as Committee Vice Chairperson, Henry Davis Jr.
and Derek D Dieter.
The primary responsibility of the Personnel and Finance Committee last year was to work
together with the Administration to prepare the 2015 City Budget. By hosting a number of
committee meetings, the 2015 Budget was prepared and approved by Council on October
2']th
The Committee also had the opportunity to work in conjunction with the Community
Investment Committee to interview candidates for possible appointments to the
Redevelopment Commission, the Human Rights Commission and the Diversity Utilization
Board.
By working with the City Administration, all of the Committee activities helped to ensure
sound fiscal choices were made on behalf of the City of South Bend. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
- Signature on file-
Valerie Schey, Council Member
