®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK they are really feeling the difference you have made. I want to thank you for that, that is from District Two (2). Councilmember Jake Teshka stated, I understand we got all this stuff today and we are hoping to have the rest of this stuff forty-eight (48) hours in advance. So I'm the new guy and I think, for me, coming into meetings like this I want to be able to participate in a productive dialogue and have productive questions prepared. I don't know if there is any way that, at some point,we could get a whole budget before the end of the process so we could see the whole picture. I know, for the Department of Admin and Finance,that stuff is just coming in and there are some tweaks being done but at least we would have it to talk about. Jen Hockenhull, City Controller with offices on the 12th floor of the County-City Building,replied, So any time you want to talk to any of the department heads, feel free to pick up the phone and call any of us. I am happy to talk as well. I am more of the compiler of the budget and kind of the artist, at the end, that puts it all together but the department heads are the ones that can really hit home and tell you exactly what they will do with their budgets. We are planning to have a mid- season update, for the lack of a better term,but it will be toward the end of August 2018. It will be the same day as the Police Department presentation. We will give a broader overview with graphs and things like that. At that meeting,we will present you with a whole budget. The problem with the whole budget is it is about eight hundred (800)pages and it doesn't mean a whole lot without the summary sheets. We will try to get you something before that date. It is searchable and online. I'm happy to talk offline too. With no further business, Committee Chair White announced the date of the next budget hearing (August 8th, 2018) and adjourned the Personnel and Finance Committee meeting at 6:47 p.m. Respectfully�Suubmitted,,l Karen White,White, Committee Chair EXCELLENCE ( ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1 227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221 If 574.235.9173 1 TTD 574.235.5567 j www.southbendin.gov 14
