South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –September 17, 2010 <br /> <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />E. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br /> (13) Reimbursement to Transpo for expanded <br />sidewalk costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Relos noted that as Transpo was <br />designing its new facility at Indiana and <br />Lafayette, city staff had discussions with <br />Transpo about project design. It has been <br />envisioned that the perimeter of Ignition Park <br />would have nice green space, plenty of tree <br />lawn, and an eight-foot sidewalk around the <br />park that would serve both pedestrians and <br />bicyclists. City standards require a four-foot <br />sidewalk. That’s all Transpo would have had <br />to put in. Transpo wanted a five-foot <br />sidewalk, but decided to put in the eight-foot <br />one so that it would tie in with the eight-foot <br />one the city would build on the remainder of <br />Ignition Park. Transpo is now asking the city <br />to participate in the cost difference between <br />the five-foot and eight-foot walks, a <br />difference of $15,143. That seems to be a <br />great price for two blocks of eight-foot <br />sidewalk. <br /> <br />C <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />OMMISSION APPROVED REIMBURSEMENT TO <br />T$15,143 <br />RANSPO FOR FOR EXPANDED <br />Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br /> <br />SIDEWALK COSTS <br />Commission approved reimbursement to <br />Transpo for $15,143 for expanded sidewalk <br />costs. <br /> <br /> <br />(14) Resolution No. 2775 ratifying the <br />execution of documents on behalf of the <br />City of South Bend, Indiana, Department <br />of Redevelopment (Ivy Tech Donation) <br /> <br />Mr. Meteiver noted that this is a <br />housekeeping resolution. We would <br />normally have used a Purchase Agreement, <br /> 20 <br /> <br />
