•CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK systems.Your decrease in professional services,can you kind of explain that?Half of it is in repairs in maintenance, what is going on there? Ms. Riedl replied, So, some of those cuts to professional services are not around software but around things like Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi expansion,we wanted to concentrate on professional services specifically on software. And another reason for the increase in professional services is that accounting issue with supplies. The increase in supplies came out of the professional services. There's just the accounting change as well. Councilmember Scott followed up, Just for the rest of the Council, I'll send out an email, we're going to have IT come and give an update on Monday. So, if you have any questions or agenda items I'd like to have those by Friday to give you guys time to prepare. Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston stated, I just want to thank you, I think you did a good overview. I've been looking at this, I have a lot of questions about the Code Enforcement Software. I just wanted to make sure that you had mentioned that this is one (1) of the things you're hoping to bring online. Is this the program that we've been talking about that users can call 3-1-1? Is it that particular software? Is this part of the software that they're using to issue citations? Ms. Riedl replied, There are two (2) different software. The Cityworks software, the asset management software, is actually as you just described. It is for issuing citations around RSVP and environmental, and it is an internal tool that Code Enforcement uses. And then in terms of resident reporting, that's going to be the digital 3-1-1 service platform. So, those are two (2) different software. Councilmember Williams-Preston followed up, And so you're anticipating that is going to come online? Ms. Riedl replied, Yes. Councilmember Williams-Preston stated, Great. Next year? Ms. Riedl replied, Yes. Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, Just quickly, you have several grants, and congratulations, that your department has won and have worked on. Many of those are multi-year, I was wondering if you could provide links to those and attachments to this. In terms of, at least at a minimum, the executive summary and then any budgets that are associated with that and relevant timelines. Ms. Riedl relied Absolutely. replied, Councilmember Broden followed up, That just helps with the general understanding of the really cool things and the great things that you're doing. And actually, so many of these are forward thinking initiatives that have to do with workforce. So, I think the more information that's shared on that, the better. And with specific regard to the Bloomberg, and this next round on it, what sectors? Are the sectors of employment changing or are they staying the same?
