year. It is just so much fun to showcase the City. Will the new Marriott Courtyard have tunnel access to the Century Center? Mr. Perri replied, Yes, they will. That was a key point to make possible. The more we can make South Bend a viable option for these things,the better off we will be. Committee Chair White asked, Is the security outsourced? Mr. Perri replied, That is a good question. Both the Morris and Century Center use a third party for day-to-day security. Police are onsite for every Morris show and every major Century Center show. The Century Center actually has two (2) full-time security guards. I will send you those job descriptions. Committee Chair White opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. Sue Kesim, 4022 Kennedy Drive, stated, I am working with a client and I've noticed there is a lot of Air B&B. I wonder if that is calculated into availability. Committee Chair White then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No.10-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Regina Williams-Preston seconded the motion which carried unanimously by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. Update- 2018 Budget Amendment Schedule & City Wage Information Posted in Gateway Jennifer Hockenhull, Administration & Finance Jeri Hockenhull, City Controller with offices on the 12th floor of the County-City Building, provided handouts to the Committee (available in the City Clerk's Office). She stated, Good afternoon, Council. Before you is a calendar that our Office prepares annually for additional appropriations we do every year. I know it used to be twice a year,then three (3)times a year and now we are trying to do it four(4)times. I think this is our third year doing it this way. It seems to work really well as it keeps everyone up to date and this way the last one(1) of the year isn't some twenty-five (25) pages long. We try to keep it very up to date for you all. We try to stick very closely to the schedule. Every once in a while it changes but we'll make sure we try to stick very closely to this. We will also get this posted online for the public.Ben Dougherty is our new Deputy City Controller. He comes to us with a legal background focusing on compliance as well as bond work. Committeemember Voorde stated, I would like to compliment Jen and Amy Shirk in particular. Last week, I asked them to take a few minutes to sit down with me and help me understand those monthly reports that we get. They are sometimes a little overwhelming to me and I'm sure they are more than willing to do that with any of us. It was really helpful. 4
