REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 <br />budget meetings are open to the public and the information can be gotten from the City Controller's <br />office, but a summary would be helpful. <br />Mr. Leon Stein, President, Firefighters Local #362, 1122 South Main Street, South Bend, Indiana, <br />stated that in 2000 the firefighters bargained in good faith and ratified a four (4)year contract. The <br />2002 budget is being considered with non - bargaining employees receiving a four per cent (4 %) <br />salary increase and a four and one -half percent (4.5 %) increase for police officers who did not ratify <br />a contract. Firefighters will receive 3.4 %. Mr. Stein asked the Council to make a recommendation <br />to the Mayor to amend the salaries for next year for the Fire Department. <br />In rebuttal and in response to Mr. Cierzniak, Mayor Luecke advised that they are working on <br />developing an annual report to better explain in summary fashion how dollars are expended. In <br />terms of salaries for employees, Mayor Luecke noted that the administration does appreciate the time <br />spent with firefighters to ratify and vote on a salary. He noted that there have been disparities <br />whereas some years the firefighters received more than others and sometimes less. He stated that <br />he respects the contact that was ratified and expects that will continue. <br />Councilmember Varner stated he recollected that in the past the Council received a summary <br />showing the aggregate tax rate. Mayor Luecke advised that the City used the same format this year <br />as last but the cumulative tax rate is $3.5834. In response to Mr. Cierzniak's concerns, he noted that <br />a budget review is located at the beginning of the budget book that is given to the Council and he <br />would provide that information to Mr. Cierzniak. <br />Councilmember Coleman made a motion that Bill No. 76 -01 be continued, in the Council portion <br />of the Public Hearing, until the meeting of September 24, 2001. Councilmember Varner seconded <br />the motion which carried by a voice vote of six (6) ayes. <br />Additionally, Councilmember Coleman made a motion that Bill No. 77 -01 be continued, in the <br />Council portion of the Public Hearing, until the meeting of September 24, 2001. Councilmember <br />Kelly seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of six (6) ayes. <br />Finally, Councilmember Coleman made a motion that Bill No. 78 -01 be continued, in the Council <br />portion of the Public Hearing, until the meeting of September 24, 2001. Councilmember White <br />seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of six (6) ayes. <br />BILL NO. 82 -01 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL OF THE COMMON <br />COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND TO <br />APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM HALL OF FAME <br />OPERATIONS FUND #677 AND FROM COLLEGE <br />FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME FUND #377 FOR <br />PURPOSES OF SATISFYING THE CITY'S OBLIGATION <br />TO THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION <br />Councilmember Varner advised that the Personnel and Finance Committee conducted a Public <br />Hearing this afternoon on this bill and sends it to the full Council with no recommendation due to <br />the lack of a quorum. <br />Mayor Stephen Luecke, 1400 County -City Building, South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation <br />for this bill. <br />Mayor Luecke stated that this bill appropriates additional dollars for the College Football Hall of <br />Fame. He noted that he previously stated that the City had responsibility to pay for the financing <br />of the building and it made logical sense for the National Football Foundation to be responsible for <br />E <br />
