<br />TO: Mayor Lloyd M. Allen
<br />(PROM: The Common Council - City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />Councilman
<br />of 8 ayes
<br />1 nay,(Council-
<br />to the Mayor,
<br />AN ORDINANCE CREATING A DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE FOR INDUSTRIAL
<br />EXPANSION.
<br />e captioned ordinance has been passed by the Common Council on October 26, 1970 by a vote of
<br />ayes and 1 nay. The passage of the ordinance allows the creation of the South Bend Economic
<br />Development Commission within the provisions of the "Muricipal Economic Development Act of 1965"
<br />(Burns 48 -8701 through 48- 8725). It is the opinion of the Common Council that while this Act
<br />indicates how the Commission, once created, will function, certain sections should be clarified.
<br />t is further acknowledged that the Common Council in and of itself cannot change the letter of
<br />he Act, but can, by this expression, communicate its beliefs on its implementation in our City.
<br />t must be specifically understood that, this Commission, once created, is in fact responsible as
<br />an operating agency to the Executive and Administrative head of the City. This would mean that
<br />he Commission staff by, necessity, if operational, would be housed in the County -City Building.
<br />urther, the Commission would be communicating to the Executive head or his designee, at least
<br />onthly, as to its operations or intended operations.
<br />t must be specifically understood that, while the Commission members have the right to appoint
<br />and/or employ clerical employees as staff, in accord with Section 48 -8711 (7), this should be done
<br />in accord with existing employment practices of the City and through the Personnel Department
<br />already in operation in the City. Moreover, it must be understood that the Common Council has the
<br />duty and obligation to regulate the compensation of these Commission employees, as they now do
<br />he compensation of all other City Employees. We do not intend to relinquish this duty with
<br />espect to these City employees.
