South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting—February 8, 2011 Though there was not a quorum present, those present were in favor of the budget as submitted by Kitson. Ms. Jones opened the public hearing on PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION No.2830 Resolution No. 2830 for whoever wished to speak regarding Resolution No. 2830. There was no one who wished to speak. Ms. Jones closed the public hearing for whatever action the Commission wished to take. (15) Consideration of Resolution No. 2830. Ms. Jones asked what the "late fees" are in the budget. Ms. Leonard responded that in 2010 when the Commission was entering into an agreement for golf carts, the language in the lease said there would be late fees charged. That is customary language in a lease. According to state law, the Commission cannot have that language in a lease unless there is a separate appropriation for late fees. We have, therefore, added it to the budget, but will not plan to use it. It simply satisfies the legal requirement. Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION No.2830 Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the DETERMINING TO APPROPRIATE MONIES FOR THE Commission approved Resolution No. 2830 PURPOSE OF DEFRAYING THE EXPENSES OF CERTAIN LOCAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE determining to appropriate monies for the FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1,2011,AND purpose of defraying the expenses of certain ENDING DECEMBER 31,2011,INCLUDING ALL local public improvements for the Fiscal OUTSTANDING CLAIMS AND OBLIGATIONS, Year beginning January 1, 2011, and ending FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL TAKE December 31, 2011, including all outstanding EFFECT(BLACKTHoRN GOLF COURSE claims and obligations, fixing a time when OPERATIONS) the same shall take effect (Blackthorn Golf Course Operations) C.
