South Bend, IN 46601
Dear Mr. Ladewski:
I am pleased to submit for council consideration, a
resolution adopting a program format for the 1996 budget
presentation. This format will allow the city to prepare a very
informative, user friendly document that will show the reader the
many quality services the city provides to its customers.
I want to reinforce the fact that the traditional line item
budgets will be prepared and available, along with work sheets
that show how the line item format is converted to the program
format.
I look forward to answering any questions you or other
council members may have.
Sincerely,
,
