®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Strategic Focus Unit and also moving monies within our equipment and vehicle lease just to make sure we are appropriately linking them to the different departments instead of just one (1) big bucket. 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, Is the Community Crossing a road-a-about? Kara Boyles, City Engineer with offices on the 13th floor of the County-City Building, replied, That project is actually the repaving of the Corby/Ironwood/Rockne intersection. It is a temporary repair. It will not be a round-a-about. Ms. Kesim interjected, Ok that was my question and the other one (1) is the Goodwill program. Are there any metrics on the successes of that program? Suzanna Fritzberg, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Mayor of the City of South Bend with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, replied, Isaac Hunt has been involved for a long time on the GVI Strategy. We recently approved, in this past budget cycle, an expanded project where he is leading a team of strategic focus outreach workers so it is a different and new program. Based on what we have seen in other cities we think it will be good,but there is also evaluation built into his contract.

Please note that all of these Funds have adequate cash balances to cover the requests this evening.The first two(2)for Fund#209 and Fund#222 are both for grant monies we have received in, we are just appropriating those funds out at this time. The Liability Insurance Reserve Fund is $900,000 relating to bringing our spending reserve back up to our normal levels due to some budget cuts we made in 2017.At the request of our Legal Department after review,we've decided that we would like that money back up to where it has been in the past. Local Road and Bridge Grant Fund is relating back to the Community Crossings Grant. We are asking to spend the full amount of the grant but it is a fifty-fifty (50/50) match grant so we have to spend $2 million and will get $1 million back. The Parks Non-reverting Capital Fund for $20,000 relates to replacing some aging equipment from the Capital Fund. And then our 2015 Parks Bond Capital is requesting to spend the remaining proceeds from the 2015 Parks Bond.
