South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />would like to address them at that point in the <br />agenda. There was no objection and the item was <br />so moved. <br /> <br /> <br />B. Communication from Dennis Andres, Morris <br />Performing Arts Center <br /> <br />Mr. Inks read the Communication from Dennis <br />Andres. <br /> <br />CDA, <br />To: Redevelopment Commission <br />OMMUNICATION FROM ENNIS NDRES <br />MPAC <br />ORRIS ERFORMING RTS ENTER <br />From: Dennis J. Andres, Executive Director, <br />Morris Performing Arts Center <br />Subject: Jon Hunt Plaza 2009 Repairs <br />Date: February 19, 2 010 <br /> <br />Reflecting on last summer and planning for this <br />summer’s Hunt Plaza events, I realized that I had <br />not thanked the Redevelopment Commission for its <br />support. So, may I say “Thank You” for approving <br />funding for repairs and upgrades to the Jon Hunt <br />Plaza/Park and Fountain this past summer? <br />Following the repairs/upgrades we have reduced, <br />as desired, the operating costs of approximately <br />$10,000 to the actual summer ’09 cost of $3,260. <br />An annual summer expense of approximately <br />$3,500 for labor and chemicals to maintain the <br />fountain is manageable for this summer. <br /> <br />Clearly the South Bend community appreciates the <br />Jon Hunt Plaza and the various events that occur <br />there. So, upkeep is a necessity. When in season, <br />those casual lunches or “Fridays by the Fountain” <br />events mean much more when the fountain is in <br />good working order for all to enjoy. Again, thank <br />you for your support. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Inks noted that an additional Communication <br />arrived late in the week that also pertained to the <br />appropriation for Project Impact. That was a <br />Communication from Council Member Timothy Rouse. <br />Mr. Inks indicated he would read that as part of <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
