Revisions have also been made to have <br />greater transparency of the process of annually reviewing the reports which summarize the number <br />and type of ambulance and medical service runs; amount billed; amount collected; amount in <br />collection; number of lawsuits filed; and recommendations for fee adjustments along with <br />justification for such requested adjustments. This annual report would be required to be filed with <br />the -Office of the City Clerk on or before September 1St of each year. The report would then be <br />given a public hearing through a joint committee meeting of the Personnel and Finance Committee <br />and the Health and Public Safety Committee thereafter. <br />We believe that this ordinance is needed in order to continue to provide top-quality ambulance and <br />medical services through the South Bend Fire Department in acost-efficient manner. We ask that. <br />the ordinance be referred to a joint committee meeting of the Personnel and Finance Committee and <br />the Health and Public Safety Committee, so that you may receive additional information from Fire <br />Chief Howard Buchanon, II, Assistant Chief Mark Nowicki, Assistant Chief Stephen Cox, <br />representative of South Bend Firefighter's Association Local No. 362, and concerned citizens. We <br />urge each of you to support this public safety measure. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, ' <br />Council Member Thomas LaFountain <br />Personnel and Finance Committee Chairperson <br />Council Member Karen L.
