Pfeifer Since June of this year, discussions and meetings have taken place, to review our <br />Second District local tax abatement regulations. Such review is consistent with the requirements <br />Roland Kelly of § 2-84.16 of the South Bend Municipal Code, which requires the Community <br />Third District and Economic Development Committee to formally review these regulations in <br />calendar years ending with an even number. <br />Ann Puzzello <br />Fourth District The attached proposed ordinance would make several non-substantive changes to <br />our current regulations, which consist of 48-pages. Many changes are proposed to <br />David Varner clarify current wording, while other amendments would bring our local <br />Fifth District regulations in compliance with new state laws, which were passed after 2003, the <br />Ervin Kuspa effective date of our current regulations. <br />Sixth District <br />As Chairperson of the Council's Community and Economic Development <br />Al "Buddy" Kirsits Committee, I urge the Council to move forward on this Bill. I believe that these <br />At Large changes. are needed to improve our local procedures. I look forward to meeting <br />with you in Committee on this measure and request your favorable <br />Timothy A. Rouse recommendation. Thank you. <br />At Large <br />Sincerely, <br />Karen L.
