<br /> Councilmember Karen White, Chair of the Personnel and Finance Committee, reported that they
<br /> met this afternoon and send this bill forward with a favorable recommendation.
<br /> John Murphy,the Department of Administration and Finance, with offices on the 121' Floor of
<br /> the County-City Building, South Bend, IN, served as the presenter of this bill. Mr. Murphy
<br /> stated, These are the June quarterly appropriations for City funds.
<br /> Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston asked, You mentioned that the allocation for DCI-
<br /> the $100,000—you don't anticipate that it will be that much, but if we were to pass that, what
<br /> happens to the rest of that money?
<br /> Mr. Murphy responded, As with any appropriation, by the end of the year, it's either unspent or
<br /> unencumbered. The appropriation lapses, and the money just remains in the account, in the cache
<br /> for the City. That's how it works.

<br /> Mr. Murphy responded, All the funds do a five (5) year capital budget. Aaron could probably
<br /> speak more fluently about this particular appropriation,but the City in general does five (5) year
<br /> capital budgeting.
<br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis asked, Mrs. Broden, do you want to hear from Mr. Perri on this?
<br /> Councilmember Broden responded, Yeah, that would be great,just to get a sense of some of the
<br /> other big ticket items that we could anticipate.
<br /> Aaron Perri, Executive Director of the Department of Venues, Parks, and Arts, 321 East Walter
<br /> Street, South Bend, IN, stated, These two (2) particular items did not show up in the five (5) year
<br /> capital plans and that's why they are coming here to you tonight. There were things that—the
