South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -August 25, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />() continued... <br />northwest part of the city, and the fact that it <br />is so linked to Portage Prairie, I think it is <br />somewhat unfortunate. I do see those as <br />different kinds of things. There is a <br />difference between development and <br />redevelopment, even though that distinction <br />is often very, very, very thin. So I want to <br />make it very clear that I am really in favor of <br />doing something for LaSalle Square, but I <br />think we ought to approve this resolution as <br />it is written right now and I would so move <br />that. <br />MR KING: OK, let me just make a comment <br />and then we will see if that motion has a <br />second. I think the last comments that we <br />heard, those from Shawn Peterson are <br />probably best characterize my own thinking, <br />which is that the approval of this resolution <br />would help to generate the capability to <br />achieve the goals that everyone who stood up <br />and spoke publicly and what Hardie has just <br />articulated are about. And so I see this not as <br />an either or situation, it see it as steps in the <br />right direction. I think that if we approve this <br />Resolution No. 2254, and it results in the <br />generation of additional funds that are <br />available to be used for valid purposes, that <br />we are actually taking the first step in the <br />right direction. I think that the comments <br />made about LaSalle Square are equally valid, <br />and some of you who have been attending <br />our meetings on a regular basis know, that at <br />our previous meeting, the August 12 <br />meeting, this Commission took an action <br />directing staff to begin a project of research <br />54 <br />
