A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND
RECOMMENDING THAT COUNCIL APPROVAL BE SOUGHT
ON ALL MATTERS INVOLVING PRIVATIZATION
WHEREAS , the Common Council acknowledges that numerous
studies and surveys have been conducted nationally on the topic of
privatization ; and
WHEREAS , House Bill No . 1881 which would have provided
municipalities with expanded opportunities to cooperate with the
private sector in providing public services was defeated in the
House by a vote of 47-51 ; and
WHEREAS , the overall concept of privatization should be
thoroughly and comprehensively reviewed at the City level ; and
WHEREAS , the Council believes that the short-term and long-
term goals and effects of privatization should be openly discussed
and weighed .
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the
City of South Bend , Indiana , as follows :
SECTION I . The Common Council believes that the City should
continue to study the concept of privatization and weigh the
overall goals and objectives on specific types of City services
and projects .
SECTION II . However , the Common Council firmly believes that
open discussion between the City Administration and the Common
Council on privatization should continue before further contracts
or lease agreements for the operation of certain public facilities
or the rendering of certain services are let to the private sector .
SECTION III . The Common Council therefore recommends , before
any further items be considered for privatization , that the City
Administration seek the formal approval of the Common Council
through an appropriate Resolution .
SECTION IV. This resolution shall be in full force and
effect from and after its adoption by the Common Council and
approval by the Mayor .
