s <br /> Committee Report <br /> PERSONNEL AND FINANCE COMMITTEE <br /> To the Common Council of the City of South Bend: <br /> The September 13 , 1993 , meeting of the Personnel and Finance <br /> Committee was called to order by its' Chairperson, Council <br /> Member Ann Puzzello, at 4 : 30 p.m. in the Council Informal <br /> Meeting Room. <br /> Persons in attendance included Council Members: Luecke, <br /> Washington, Kelly, Puzzello, Slavinskas, Zakrzewski, <br /> Coleman, Duda, Ladewski; Kevin Horton, Joyce Boyler, James <br /> Caldwell, John Byorni, Gene Oakley, Jeff Rinard, Don Porter <br /> and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. <br /> Council Member Puzzello noted that the first item on the <br /> agenda was to review Bill No. 72-93 which would amend the <br /> South Bend Municipal Code by adding a Section entitled <br /> "Consolidated Building Department Enterprise Fund" . <br /> Mr. Kevin Horton then made the presentation. He noted that <br /> the Bill would create the Fund as new Section 2-169.2 . He <br /> noted that the State Board of Accounts has stated that it <br /> would be appropriate for such a fund to be created since it <br /> is anticipated that the Consolidated Building Department <br /> would be a "self-sufficient department supported by user <br /> fees" . Such an enterprise fund would have to utilize full <br /> accrual accounting which includes depreciation of assets. <br /> In response to a question raised by Council Member Puzzello, <br /> it was noted that St. Joseph County would be taking similar <br /> action on a proposed county ordinance. If any surplus is <br /> left at the end of the year, the joint committee would make <br /> a decision with regard to its' disposition. <br /> Following further questions, Council Member Ladewski made a <br /> motion, seconded by Council Member Zakrzewski, that Bill No. <br /> 72-93 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion <br /> passed. <br /> The Committee then reviewed Resolution No. 93-69 which is a <br /> proposed form of lease for the property located at 609 West <br /> Indiana Avenue. Mr. James Caldwell made the presentation. <br /> He noted that it was basically a two (2) year term with an <br /> option of an additional two (2) years. <br />
