Councilmember Karen White reported that the Personnel and Finance Committee met and sends substitute Bill 16 -35 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. John Murphy, City Controller with offices on the 12th Floor of the County -City Building, served as the presenter for this bill. For a couple of months, City officials from South Bend and Mishawaka have met with St. Joseph County officials in a joint effort to share resources and coordinate efforts in respect to certain tax appeals. This is the "dark store issue" that has been talked about recently on the news. The County Council and the City of Mishawaka have already passed this interlocal agreement. This is not an additional appropriation and they are hoping to work some of these costs into the regular budget but it is possible during the quarterly budget reviews an additional appropriation will be requested. In the agreement there is a reporting requirement that the County Auditor should give us updates on the status of the appeals and the cost incurred and that information will be forwarded to the Council. 0
