Just last <br /> At Large week a similar proposal was sent to Committee by the Indianapolis City-County <br /> Council,with the endorsement by Mayor Joe Hogsett, for initial funding of <br /> Karen White $150,000. We believe that it is time for South Bend to take a similar path. <br /> At Large <br /> We request that this Resolution be placed on the Council's February 11, 2019 <br /> agenda. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br />
