RE: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 17, Article 7 of the South Bend Municipal code
Regarding the Sewer Service Fund and Charges, and an Ordinance of the Common
Council of the City of South Bend, Amending the monthly Service Charge for Leaf
Collection and Removal
Dear President Coleman:
Enclosed for filing with the South Bend Common Council are two proposed amendments relating to the
Sewer Repair/Insurance Fund and to the Operation Re-Leaf Fund. The proposed changes are a decrease of
fifteen cents ($0.15) per month in the first instance and an increase of fifteen cents ($0.15) per month in the
second instance.
The Ordinance amending Chapter 17, Article 7 is for the purpose of reducing the sewer
repair/insurance monthly charges from ninety-four ($0.94) to seventy-nine cents
($0.79). This fund (#640) has sufficient revenue and cash balance to fund the repair
and replacement of private citizen sewer connections.
2. The Ordinance amending the monthly service charge for leaf collection and removal is
for the purpose of raising additional revenues to overhaul the equipment used in this
program. The Ordinance proposes increasing the monthly fee from eighteen cents
($0.18) to thirty-three cents ($0.33). This is the only increase in Operation Re-Leaf s
ten year history.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
~~
Lewis N. Powell
Director of Public Works
