At that time, it was likely, but not certain, that 2009 tax revenues would not be sufficient to fund the approved appropriations at 100% due to the impact of HEA 1001 which provides various tax caps (I.C. 6-1.1-20.6). Because of the now certain lost revenue effect of this recent legislation, and the inability of South Bend to recover the loss in 2009 through other measures, the appropriations from General Fund (No. 101) and Parks and Recreation Fund (No. 201) must be reduced from the sums approved in Ordinance No. 9874-08. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: ORDINANCE NO. ~ ~ ZS~ ~ Section I. The appropriations approved in Ordinance No. 9874-08 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 shall be reduced in the following amounts: Fund Major Budget Classification Amount of Reduction General Fund (No. 101) Parks & Recreation Fund (No. 201) Personnel & Benefits Supplies Services $2,633,734 $ 324,471 $ 217,706 Personnel & Benefits $ 159,906 Supplies $ 159,581 Services $ 7,660 The reductions are more specifically described in detail at Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein.
