what is allocated for that fund. This is for the King-Hesburgh statue, which is all being funded by private donations and state grants. The next is a$10,000 National League of Cities Resilience Event grant. This is money for the Sustainability Office for some training they are going through. The next one is the emergency telephone system. Prior to the PSAP consolidation,we had our own 911 money, about$215,000 a year. We were required to put it in a separate fund, so we have $33,671 left in the fund and we are going to reduce our PSAP payment and use this as a portion of the payments just to close out the fund. The next is an eight dollar($8) charge to close out the fund. The Excess Welfare Distribution Fund was a special payment for public safety. The next two (2) go together. The Community Crossings Grant, we were required to set up a separate fund for the local match and the expenditure for the community crossings grant. It's a fifty- percent(50%)match program. So,we have received $1 million that is in the bank. We are appropriating$2 million because we need to spend$2 million to receive the $1 million. We are transferring it out of Fund#757 into Special Fund#265 which was required by the State. The next one is the land purchase for Fire Station Number Nine (9),that is $400,000 out of the EMS Capital Fund. The good thing about that fund is it's received some good Medicaid reimbursements, collecting from prior years and received a payment of$1.79 million recently. The next one is a Police Department item. It's actually a Cops More Grant reimbursement so we've received the grant money,we just have to distribute it out to our partners. The next one is the bus shelters. We were looking to award it last year but we were not able to get that through the Board of Public Works. That's $150,000. The next one is in the Fire Department,we had two (2) all-terrain vehicles that we were hoping to award last year. The last two (2) are a little difficult to explain. When we do bonds, we always set aside one (1)payment in a trustee account so in case you don't pay back the bond,they'll use that for the final payment. Well,we've paid back the Morris Performance Arts Center bond in 2009, and we've received the trustee'money of $735,236 and are transferring it into the EDIT Fund. Similar with the Erskine Village bond, we've paid that bond off. Committee Chair White turned the floor over to the committee and council members for any questions they may have for the presenter. Councilmember Oliver Davis asked,Is there a time limit to get the money over to Gary? Ken Glowacki, South Bend Police Department, answered, I'm not sure if there is a time limit. What has happened is we administered the grant for the cities,they send us the request,we file it with the government and what happened here is the 2010-11 budget was already submitted,I just didn't have a big enough budget category to pay for it. We've received the money,we're just turning around and paying back to that. I'm not sure if there is a time limit, other than that the Federal Government is looking for the payment as soon as the City pays you. Councilmember Dr. David Varner asked,With regard to the$1 million match, is it$2 million to match the $1 million or$2 million total? Mr. Murphy replied, It's$2 million in expenditures by the City and a$1 million match,it's a fifty-percent 50%match. Committee Chair White asked, John,you mentioned something about bus shelters? 3
