South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –April 9, 2010 think they were living there at the time, if they were, I knocked, I left business cards, and Mr. Gray told me perhaps the best thing to do was to get in touch with Mr. Keszei. Never once did I misrepresent the facts that we were doing this development. It was always the City, I explained what they were doing, they were looking to relocate the retention ponds, so I take exception to what you had to say, Mr. Keszei, because that’s not true. I personally talked to you three or four times about this project. The only reason we were involved was because we owned that shopping center and we were looking at opportunities of maybe buying from the City the excess ground to be created when they improve retention for that area. So, that’s how we got involved. If Mrs. Brady or Mr. Gray, if I’m not telling you the truth, we talked about that, so I just wanted to make that very clear. I think it is the right thing to do. I think that there has been a lot that has happened out in this area over time and things change. And as more property is developed out there you have to address these types of concerns. I am happy to see that the City has spent a lot of time, and a lot of money investigating the best way to handle this problem. I think they are on the right track so, thank you for that opportunity. Mr. Ward asked Mr. Davey if he could ask him a question and Mr. Davey agreed: Again, I was involved putting the cisterns in in the parking lot at Christian Center and if you would like to quadruple the size of the cisterns or the number of the cisterns in the Christian Center parking that would eliminate the water running down the hill. Why can’t they just put many, many cisterns 24
