South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -December 7, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A.

These budgets have a <br />lot more detail, but still leave some flexibility <br />to react to opportunities. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that there are items in the <br />budget that are set in stone, such as debt <br />service. Everything else is in a planning <br />process. We are in a process of a three year <br />plan for every one of the TIF areas. All of <br />that will be shared with the Commission as a <br />strategy. <br />Mr. King and Mr. Peczkowski wanted to <br />avoid the scenario where their vote sets in <br />motion planning and expenditures which they <br />don't approved of. <br />Mr. Peterson noted that we're not actually <br />spending money here, we're appropriating it. <br />Contracts will come later. There will be <br />opportunity to vote against individual items <br />as they come onto the agenda for approval. <br />Mr. Gibney noted that staff has included an <br />exhaustive list which it has put together from <br />internal discussions and discussions with <br />other department heads, particularly related <br />to infrastructure. We understand they won't <br />all be done. <br />Mr. Mathia suggested passing the <br />appropriations with notes of reservation for <br />7 <br />
