South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — September 13, 2011 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(3) continued... <br />Sinco Pools and related relocation expenses <br />for Sinco to move from East Sample Street to <br />the corner of South Michigan and Dayton. <br />At that time, the owner of Sinco did his best <br />to estimate his relocation costs. Since that <br />time, however, unexpected costs have <br />accumulated. <br />While going through the process of getting <br />the needed permits for relocation, the Fire <br />Department raised issues with the chemicals <br />used by Sinco. Because the department <br />could not explicitly tell Sinco what issues <br />needed to be dealt with, Sinco had to hire an <br />outside firm to sort through state and local <br />regulations. <br />In addition, Sinco had to install additional <br />items not originally planned, including fire <br />suppression and monitoring equipment. <br />Those requirements cost Sinco an additional <br />$6,884, which expenses were approved by <br />the Commission on May 10, 2011. Since <br />that time, Sinco has been working with the <br />Fire Department to satisfy its concerns. As <br />things progressed, the Fire Department <br />identified additional items, thereby causing <br />Sinco to incur more costs. Sinco now has an <br />occupancy permit, but is requesting an <br />additional $3,562.50 for three items; an <br />additional $3,112.50 for two professional <br />services, and $450 for additional computer <br />services. Under the Commission's relocation <br />policy, those costs are eligible relocation <br />expenses. Staff believes Sinco put forth its <br />best efforts in estimating the amount needed <br />20 <br />
