COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE JU X 22, 1968 <br />July 20, 1968 <br />Members of the Committee of the Whole <br />South Bend Common Council <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Mrs. Allen and Gentlemen: <br />The Directors of the South Bend Civic Planning Association have reviewed the salary ordinance which you will <br />review in public session Monday evening. We-are enclosing some recommendations for you to consider prior <br />to that hearing. <br />It is not possible to estimate the cost to the taxpayers if all of the proposed increases were granted since <br />this information is available only when the number of people in the various categories is disclosed in the <br />budget itself. However we appreciate the desirability of recognizing service and on that basis make a <br />general recommendation of a $240.00 increase for full time employees, others to be adjusted accordingly. <br />We recommend that the $480.00 for the President of the Council be eliminated from the salary ordinance and <br />be included in Contractual section of the Council budget. <br />We recommend that the salary and position of Safety Commissioner be eliminated for lack of information on <br />the duties, and the necessity for such position. <br />We recommend that the salary of the City Engineer remain as proposed as we find it is in line with that <br />paid in private business, but also in view of the performance of the present City Engineer. <br />We recommend that the salary of the H R and F E P C Director remain as proposed as we have been told this <br />is in line with the salaries he received when he held two positions - one for the schools and a summer <br />position with the city. <br />The above and the attached sheet cover our major portion of our recommendations. We will have some points to <br />be clarified further on Monday evening. <br />Thanking you for your consideration of these points, we are <br />Yours sincerely, <br />SOUTH BEND CIVIC PLANNING ASSN. Inc. <br />/s/ Byron W. Faust, President <br />The Communication was accepted as read, and placed on file. <br />Councilman Wise made a motion for recess. Councilman Palmer seconded the motion.
