REGULAR MEETING APRIL 11. 1977 A regular sleeting of the Board of Public Works was convened at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, April 11, 1977 by Temporary Chairman Peter H. Mullen, in the absence of President Patrick 11. McMahon„ Mr. Mullen and Mr. Brunner were present, -as was Deputy City Attorney Georgia Luks. VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 3419 CONFIRMED The public hearing on Vacation Resolution No. 3419 on the petition of the Department of Redevelopment to vacate all streets, alleys and lots not pxevibt11'y vacated in the proposed plat of River Bend Addition to the City of South Bend was held on October 13, 1975 but final action on the resolution was tabled at the request of Kevin Butler, Attorney for the Department of Redevelopment. Mr. Butler was present and advised the Board that the Department is also petitioning the Board to accept the replat and dedication of the new street system for River Bend Addition. He displayed a drawing of the area, showing the boundaries of the property to be vacated, which is within the Downtown R-66 project. Mr. Butler said it was necessary for the Department to get all of the owners of property adjacent to the streets and alleys to join in the petition for the replat and dedication and this accounted for the long delay in the proceedings. Many of the property owners are out-of-state and, in the case of the Royal Inn property, it.required over nine months to get the required signatures because of a pending court case. They now have secured all the necessary signatures. Mr. Brunner asked if there were any changes in the Vacation Resolution as submitted earlier and Mr. Butler said there were not. Mr. Mullen made a motion that the Board ratify and confirm Vacation Resolution No. 3419, 1975. Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and it carried, and said property is vacated.
