South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -December 7, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(1) continued... <br />Public Hearing Resolution No. 2398 <br />Marty Wolfson: 809 Park Avenue. I <br />appreciate that the staff has increased the <br />detail related to these appropriations. I also <br />appreciate that they were posted on the Web <br />site. I also appreciate that the appropriation <br />is an initial step and the Commission will <br />have opportunity to say yes or no on specific <br />projects. That's all good. At the same time, <br />it's a little difficult to comment on the budget <br />because we have $19,000,000 going <br />unspecified. I appreciate Jeff s detail about <br />some of those expenditures. One thing that <br />seems to be missing, or perhaps I don't <br />understand where it is in the process, is <br />where the opportunity is for Commissioners <br />to develop the specific strategies for the <br />priorities for public policy. As an <br />opportunity to say yes or no on particular <br />projects in the case, a certain view of public <br />policy and strategy, but it seemed like it <br />would be useful to be one, in terms of the <br />Commission's approach to the TIF areas. In <br />terms of where are our priorities in terms of <br />the Airport. Jeff mentioned Portage Prairie, <br />LaSalle Square, and so forth. Where are the <br />priorities? I think there should be a process <br />for that to happen. And there should be some <br />public input into that process. Having said <br />that, I just want to indicate that, clearly the <br />Community Forum for Economic <br />Development has always viewed LaSalle <br />Square as important as an aspect of TIF. We <br />appreciate the city moving forward with that. <br />Maybe some of the detail for some of the <br />10 <br />
