The U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, has enjoined South Bend from transferring 'this <br /> property to Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Inc. for ultimate transfer to Saint Joseph High School. <br /> The attached Ordinance provides that the subject real estate will be sold under the provisions of I.C. <br /> 31-1-11-4.2 at a price equal to the average of two recent appraisals. This process was approved by the Board <br /> of Works under Resolution 62-2011 passed on September 19,2011. (Copy attached to Ordinance.) <br /> If Saint Joseph High School submits a proposal to purchase the property under this process, I have <br /> reason to believe this will cure the constitutional Establishment Clause concern, because South Bend will <br /> receive fair value from sale of the property. <br /> I request that this Ordinance be approved by you, arid, either I and/or Chuck Leone will present this <br /> Ordinance to you at the Council's appropriate Committee meeting and at public hearing. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephen J. ecke <br /> Mayor Filed Office <br /> Enclosure <br /> IEP 21 20i i <br /> JOHN IIOORDE <br /> CITY CLERK,SOUTB BEWDD tkt <br /> COUN"T"Y-C'I'Y Bun DING•227W.JEFFFRSON BOULEVARD s SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 5741235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
