STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend was a finalist in the 2009 competition for All American City. To

businesses and an anonymous grant of $17,500 to cover all expenses. This ordinance
appropriates funds necessary to pay the expenditure of the City's All American City bid, with
any donated funds remaining after expenses to be used for City of South Bend promotional
purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows:
SECTION I. The sum of Thirty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($38,000.00) is hereby set aside

American City with any monies remaining from private donations to be used for City of South
Bend promotion.

To members of the South Bend Common Council:
t:.From June 16 through 20, the City of South Bend was represented in the 60th annual All-America
_.
. City competition in Tampa,-Fla., by a delegation of 18 community residents, civic leaders and City
officials. The expenses incurred as part of South Bend's All-America City bid were underwritten
ahrough direct and in-kind contributions by South Bend area businesses. Beginning with a challenge
grant of $17,500 from an anonymous contributor, a volunteer task force led by Ron Cohen was able
to receive an additional $20,500 in pledges for contributions as well as more than $7,500 in in-kind
contributions.
This resolution appropriates those resources to cover expenses incurred in the All-America City bid
with additional resources being available for use in promotion of the City. While all our expenses
have not been finalized, we clearly have sufficient private resources to cover the costs of our effort.
We are proud that not a single tax dollar will be used to support expenses associated with the All-
America City competition.
While South Bend did not come home with the top honor, this experience demonstrates that our
community is proud of its distinctive amenities, and the private sector is willing to mobilize
resources to support recognition of our collaborative civic achievements.
Your considered action on this ordinance is requested.
Sincerely,
'~
