CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK
<br /> the overview of the Department of Code Enforcement funds. The Department of Code
<br /> Enforcement has, essentially, three (3) different Funds they operate out of. Fund #219, which is
<br /> NEAT, Fund#221 is Landlord Registration, and Fund#600 is the Consolidated Building Fund. In
<br /> Fund#600 we have it broken down into several different divisions. We have Division 1201 which
<br /> is Neighborhood Code Enforcement. We have Division 1207 which is the Animal Control
<br /> Division. And new as of 2018 is the division for rental unit inspection, also known as the Home
<br /> Division. The first (1st) slide we are looking at (referencing the presentation which is available in
<br /> the City Clerk's Office) shows an overview of that breakdown. On the left side it shows the
<br /> revenues and we have it broken down into other revenues versus the transfers in. I'll read off the
<br /> total columns. We have the NEAT revenues and if you look at those, it is $862,000. Landlord
<br /> Registration, we project, will not be operable in 2019 for legal purposes. We will speak on that a
<br /> little later. Neighborhood Code Enforcement is $2,053,000. Animal Control is $935,000. Home
<br /> Program is$175,000.The total annual revenue budget for Code Enforcement is$4,027,992.Below
<br /> that we have the associated expenses that go with that. As you can see we have Personnel. The
<br /> Personnel is an offset for each category and each division. So as you go across the annual budget
<br /> the revenue is $4,027,992 and the expenses are $4,027,992.
<br /> He continued,Down below there I put the net surplus or deficit and really the net surplus or deficit
<br /> is the Landlord Registration. We thought we might have some administrative expenses up to
<br /> maybe $500,000 in registrations. I don't know what that might be at this time but we wanted to
<br /> have just a little bit of money set aside for that. Below that is the cash balance row. Generally
<br /> speaking, we are required to keep a twenty-five percent (25%) reserve. So the NEAT ending
<br /> balance is $325,000 and the reserve target is $215,000. For the Landlord Registration, it was not a
<br /> fund that needed to have a reserve and therefore the balance in that is $14,000. Then Fund#600 is
<br /> also shared with the Building Department. So, I did not list the reserve balances but the overall
<br /> reserve in that Fund is $2.4 million.
<br /> He went on, How does that look compared to our prior year? Last year, we were at $3,957,000.
<br /> So, overall for 2019, we are really presenting a two percent (2%) increase, or, $69,000. That is
<br /> what we are looking at for the overall 2019 projected. Below that, the next slide is our revenues.
<br /> That is selected from the `Other' revenue category and not for the transfers in. As you look at the
<br /> department revenues, you have the 2017, the 2018 amended and the 2019 proposed. Over to the
<br /> right you will see the percentage of change. Some of those changes are very large,partly because
<br /> we are trying to move away from Fund#600 on some of the unsafe building. There are also some
<br /> redundancies between Fund#600 and Fund#219.We are trying to coordinate those back and forth.
<br /> Some of them are basically strictly us not having the revenue stream coming in as we did.Marlaina
<br /> will touch on that later. Part of that is because we do not have as many continuous enforcement
<br /> properties as we have had in years past. Overall at the bottom of that you will see we are showing
<br /> a projected ten percent (10%) decrease in revenues right now.
<br /> He continued, This is a pie chart (referencing a slide in the presentation) to give a visual of how
<br /> those revenues appear. And then the next one(1)is a pie chart of the expenditures.This shows you
<br /> the Personnel expenses, the Supplies expenses, Services and then Capital. We've broken them
<br /> down by the prior year, 2017 actual, 2018 amended and then the 2019 proposed. We do have it
<br /> broken down and NCE is Neighborhood Code Enforcement Division, ACC is Animal Control,
<br /> NEAT is the Neighborhood Enforcement which is your Fund#219, and then the new division for
<br /> rental inspections or the Home Division. That is across the board with the personnel and the
<br /> services. Overall you'll see the bottom line there, we had in 2017 $3,064,000. The 2018 amended
