There being no one else present wishing to address the Board concerning this matter, the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Caldwell indicated that as this property is in a desirable location in the heart of the neighborhood and the City favors the concept of a Neighborhood Partnership Center, he would make a motion that the Board confirm its Resolution No. 18-1993 adopted on April 5, 1993, and approve and execute the Lease. Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion which carried. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Board is in receipt of a Second Modification of Loan Agreement between Sibley Machine & Foundry Corporation and the City of South Bend on behalf of the Economic Development Department, which involves the restructuring of the Industrial Revolving Fund loan to Sibley Machine & Foundry and a modification of the Loan Agreement and the revision of the Term Note Agreement.

Therefore, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the documents be approved and executed. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried.
