<br />(Councilman Dombrowski made a motion that the ordinance be recommended favorably to the Common
<br />Council, seconded by Councilman Szymkowiak. The motion carried.
<br />ORDINANCE
<br />AN ORDINANCE TRANSFERRING THE SUM OF
<br />$24,252.00 FROM ACCOUNT #110.0 WITHIN
<br />THE DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY BUDGET TO
<br />ACCOUNT #110.0 "SALARIES AND WAGES ",
<br />WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND OF THE CITY
<br />OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mayor Nemeth made the presentation for the
<br />ordinance. Mayor Nemeth asked that the ordinance be amended as follows; the present Section III
<br />would become Section IV, and a new Section III be inserted to read "Each member of the Board
<br />of Safety shall be compensated at the rate of $1,200, as provided by law." Also, the figure
<br />$24,252.00 be reduced by $3,600, which would remain in the Department of Public Safety budget.
<br />The Mayor explained that the Downtown Development committee would only be in existence for only
<br />six months, therefore, the secretarial services would only be needed for that length of time.
<br />The Mayor explained his need for an administrative assistant. He said that this would be an
<br />enforcing arm of the mayor. He said the administrative assistant would monitor department
<br />heads and see that directives are being followed. He said that the assistant would assist him
<br />in doing the duties of his office.
<br />Mrs. Jane Swan, 2022 Swygart, said she could not speak against the administrative assistant,
<br />but concerning the Board of Safety, she felt $1,200 was not adequate. She said that these
<br />people have to put up with a lot of grief, and they deserve more than $1200.00.
<br />Councilman Taylor said he wished that this had been a part of the Mayor's campaign. He said
<br />there was much to do about dismantling the cabinet form of government, and actually we still
<br />have the same cabinet. Mayor Nemeth said we do not have the same number in the administration,
<br />since we do not have a safety director.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski made a motion to amend the ordinance, seconded by Councilman Szymkowiak.
<br />The motion carried. Councilman Taylor made a motion that the ordinance be recommended favorably
<br />to the Common Council, as amended, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. The motion carried.
<br />There being no further business to come before the Committee of the Whole, Councilman Taylor
<br />made a motion to rise and report to the Council, seconded by Councilman Dombrowski. The
