South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—May 24, 2011 <br /> 4. COMMUNICATIONS (CONT.) <br /> A. continued... <br /> be completed by December 2010. When the Board <br /> of Public Works opened bids in June 2010, the bids <br /> came in over budget and were rejected. Since <br /> then, the plans were reviewed in order to seek <br /> greater energy efficiencies. <br /> In light of the 3rd phase of the St. Joseph County <br /> Humane Society's 22,000 square foot building <br /> being worked on, we believe that discussions with <br /> that organization would be appropriate. <br /> Consolidation of duplicate services, especially <br /> those paid with tax dollars, is a viable and feasible <br /> goal. There is no doubt that our community needs <br /> quality animal care and control services, as well as <br /> a facility to house these animals. <br /> We ask that the Redevelopment Commission accept <br /> the challenge to work together with the Council in <br /> addressing this need, so that the fiscal concerns of <br /> the South Bend residents receive top priority. We <br /> further request that this letter to read into the <br /> record at today's Redevelopment Commission <br /> meeting. <br /> The Common Council extends an invitation to meet <br /> with you at your earliest possible convenience to <br /> discuss this important community issue in greater <br /> detail. Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Most sincerely, <br /> Thomas LaFountain <br /> 3r`i District Council <br /> Al "Buddy"Kirsits <br /> Council Member at Large <br /> 6 <br />
