<br />March 5, 1971
<br />Honorable Common Council
<br />City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />Mrs. Allen and Gentlemen:
<br />Before you as members of the Committee of the Whole next Monday evening, March 8, is a proposed
<br />salary ordinance fixing salaries for elected city officials effective January 1, 1972.
<br />We have reviewed the proposal and make the following recommendations for your earliest
<br />consideration:
<br />Salary of Mayor
<br />Members of the Common Council
<br />Judge of the City Court
<br />City Clerk
<br />$25,000.00 to remain the same in view of the
<br />sizeable increase four years ago.
<br />$ 3,000.00 to remain the same in view of the
<br />previous increase.
<br />-0- as position is eliminated.
<br />$ 7,000.00 because of the greatly reduced work
<br />load since the Clerk will have no
<br />court work or records.
<br />The Clerk's salary recommendation is based on a comparison with the salaries and duties of the
<br />Clerk of the Board of Works and Safety and the Secretary to the Mayor. And to assist you in
<br />knowing what the duties will be when the Court work is no longer the responsibility of the Clerk
<br />we are attaching a photostat copy of the duties as listed in Burns Statutes.
<br />The above recommendation is made after review and study by our Executive Committee and Board of
<br />Directors.
<br />Respectfully submitted,
<br />enc.: salaries of officials 1960 -1971 /s/ Keith J. Bondurant, Pres.,SOUTH BEND CIVIC PLANNING
