It was the intent of the parties during <br /> collective bargaining that the pay rates of these positions match the pay rate of Captain, but this <br /> change was inadvertently excluded from Ordinance No. 11161-24. <br /> This Ordinance is in the best interest of the City and the affected South Bend Fire Department <br /> employees.Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carl R.
