®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK Bill No. 50-18- Re-Affirmation of the Annual Pay and Monetary Fringe Benefits for South Bend Fire Department Ms. Hockenhull stated, This bill is to reaffirm the Fire Department's contract which was approved on October 23rd, 2017. There are no changes from last year. Committee Chair White opened the floor to questions from Committee and Council Members. There were none. She then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to this legislation. There were none. She then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 50-18 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Voorde seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of three (3) ayes. Bill No. 51-18-2019 Non-Bargaining Employee and Officer Salary Ordinance Ms. Hockenhull stated, This ordinance came to you on September 19th, 2018 where we had a full meeting to discuss it. This is a substitute. Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to accept the Substitute version of Bill No. 51-18. Committeemember Voorde seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of three (3) ayes. Ms. Hockenhull continued, The only difference between the ordinance presented on September 19th versus now is that we've added a position for Chief Code Inspector for which the job description has been provided to Council. That was at the request of Council working with Code Enforcement to have someone to oversee all of the inspectors. If you have further questions I believe Tracy can answer additional questions. This is a new position but not a new person. So, someone who is currently a Code Inspector could become that position. Marlaina Johns,Deputy Director of Code Enforcement with offices on the 13th floor of the County- City Building, stated, This position actually used to be in existence up until a few years ago. So we are recreating the position to give the Inspectors direct oversight and a little bit more supervision in the field. It will also give us a little bit more accountability to make sure our Inspectors are doing the best job they possibly can. It will also reduce the number of direct reports to the Director and Deputy Director which gives them a little more time to work on the larger projects within the Department. It is something that was in existence before,we are just recreating it. Committee Chair White opened the floor to questions from Committee and Council Members. Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, I understand that this Thursday there will be some discussions about an inter-agency Director on Homelessness Services. This is a follow-up question about the Salary Ordinance. I guess in terms of where that would be located, I assume that would be out of the Department of Community Investment in terms of 2019 planning or 2020? Is that a correct assumption and it is currently not in this budget, correct?
