South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 19, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />H. Other <br /> <br />(2) continued… <br /> <br />Mr. Leone provided some information on <br />how the tax sale process works. About ten <br />years ago the burden used to be on the county <br />to notify all persons who have interest in a <br />parcel. Over the past ten years responsibility <br />and costs for that notification have shifted to <br />the tax certificate buyer. The previous owner <br />has a very detailed process to follow to <br />redeem the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Leone noted that title companies still <br />don’t like to insure properties that come <br />through this process, even based on a tax <br />deed issued by the court, without going <br />through a quiet title process. If the <br />Commission needs to go through the quiet <br />title process, we may need to hire further <br />services. <br /> <br />C <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />OMMISSION ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM <br />MHL <br />ITCHELL EPPENHEIMER FOR EGAL SERVICES <br />Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the <br /> <br />RELATED TO TAX SALE PURCHASES <br />Commission accepted the proposal from <br />Mitchell Heppenheimer for Legal services <br />related to tax sale purchases. <br /> <br /> <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br /> <br />PR <br />Mr. Relos noted that the purchaser of SASCO Autoparts <br />ROGRESS EPORTS <br />is moving them to the Studebaker Business Complex on <br />Chippewa. Ed Fry thought he would have the final <br />truck loaded late March 18, but there were a few more <br />parts that didn’t fit in that truckload. Staff got the keys <br />to the building this morning, March 19. It has been an <br />unbelievably efficient move. Staff will check with the <br />Fire Dept. to see if they want us to keep the fire <br /> <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
