South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />Mr. Alford added that he won’t be able to <br />stay for the vote. He does side with Hardie. <br />The Commission spends money on issues <br />and we do not question. On this small <br />item…$350,000 is small…we have <br />scrutinized everything they have done. <br /> <br />Ms. Carter: Can I just say something? <br />Regardless of whether we get any money, <br />our program will proceed because we are <br />determined to help the youth do what they <br />need to to get a foot up. So, I do want to <br />thank you for the consideration, but our goal <br />is we will proceed. <br /> <br />Mr. Wallace: This may be out of place, but <br />I’m sorry. I understand that the Commission <br />doesn’t have money to fund certain things. <br />But what I’m curious about is, if you don’t <br />have the money to support these things, how <br />do you all of a sudden when a person <br />commits a crime or something, how do you <br />come up with money to incarcerate them? <br />They didn’t have it to keep them from getting <br />into trouble, but when they do something, <br />they somehow come up with funds to support <br />the jails and the present system. I just don’t <br />understand how they get that money then. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones responded that the Redevelopment <br />Commission only has access to certain <br />limited funds that we’re allowed to work <br />with. We can’t answer that question. We <br />can only deal with the funds that are under <br />our control. Admittedly, most of what we <br />appropriate goes to the Council for final <br /> 49 <br /> <br />
