Dear President Lee,
Filed in Clerk's Office

Bianca Tirado
City Clerk, South Bend, IN
During the past several years, it has been the practice of the City of South Bend to request
department heads, fiscal staff, and city administration to conduct an extensive review of the status
of compliance with the adopted city budget and propose necessary adjustments periodically
throughout the year. For 2026, we plan to propose adjustments during four time periods —March,
June, September and December.
Based on our budget review, we are submitting the enclosed budget transfer ordinance for your
consideration.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Council meetings.
It is requested that this bill be filed for 1st reading on September 14th, 2026, with 2nd reading,
public hearing and 3rd reading scheduled for September 28th, 2026.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you have any questions, please feel to contact me at
574-235-9822.
Regards,
Kyle Willis
City Controller
