REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 29, 1987
<br />Mr. Don Best, Combined Capital Group, Valley American Bank
<br />Building, South Bend, Indiana, advised the Board that he would
<br />like to speak in favor of the proposed parking facility. He
<br />stated that as a developer, the garage is a must. As a future
<br />developer of the property at St. Joseph and Washington Streets,
<br />that will hook into the Jefferson Street garage, problems will
<br />probably be experienced with the individuals conducting business
<br />at the Sherland Building and requiring parking as well as with
<br />individuals currently utilizing the vacant lot at that corner
<br />for parking who will be displaced when construction begins. He
<br />stated that he is wondering where their people will park as the
<br />garage is utilized to capacity.
<br />There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or
<br />against the acquisition of property and construction and
<br />maintenance of a parking facility at the northwest corner of
<br />Wayne and St. Joseph Streets, Mr. Leszczynski stated that the
<br />Public Hearing regarding this matter was closed.
<br />At this time, Mr. Jon Hunt advised the Board that before them for
<br />approval and execution is Resolution No. 27-1987 which confirms
<br />Resolution No. 24-1987 which was adopted by the Board on
<br />September 15, 1987 and which approved the acquisition and
<br />construction of the facility. Upon a motion made by Mrs.
