Dr. Fred Ferlic for his four (4) years of dedicated public service as the 4th District Council Member. We will
always have video-proof of Doc's commitment to actively participate in committee and Council meetings which
often resulted in him wearing his blue-colored scrubs as he rushed to such meetings straight from the operating
room. Doc and his son, Gavin, also made history by being the first father and son serving as elected public
officials on the South Bend Common Council from 2012-2015.
Section II. The Common Council sincerely wishes Doc,his wife MJ, and their families, all the best in the years
ahead, as they cheer on their Fighting Irish and host tailgate and holiday parties with mouthwatering refreshments
for all. We welcome Doc's continued public service on the CSO special committee, and his willingness to
volunteer his time and many talents to continue to pursue and develop sustainable and creative park and code
enforcement initiatives which benefit the residents of South Bend. Bravo Doc—you make us very proud!!
