DERosE <br /> C -Y ATTORNEY,AD INTERIM <br /> May 22, 2012 <br /> Mr. Derek Dieter <br /> President, South Bend Common Council <br /> 4"' Floor, County-City Building <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Re: Resolution to Lease Office Space for the South Bend Human Rights Commission <br /> Dear President Dieter: <br /> Attached for filing with the Common Council for final action at the .Tune 11, 2012 meeting is a <br /> Resolution to lease office space for the benefit of the South Bend Human Rights Commission, <br /> For over a year, the space now occupied by the South Bend Human Rights Commission at 301 <br /> S. St. Louis Boulevard has generated concerns about maintenance, obsolescence, and client <br /> accessibility. The City Engineering Department has inspected the property and concluded that the level <br /> of repair needed to correct problems exceeds the benefit in retaining this building for the South Bend <br /> Human Rights Commission's active use. <br /> fortunately, the City has identified first floor office space at 319 Niles Avenue which ideally <br /> meets all the South Bend Human Rights Commission's needs, including a good size, well appointed <br /> conference room. With education and outreach being an integral part of the I-luman Rights <br /> Commission's activity, this is very positive. The lease is for a five (5) year term with another five (5) <br /> year renewal and rent of$3,555.00 per month. <br /> Human Rights Commission Director Lonnie Douglas and his entire staff are grateful for this <br /> opportunity and look forward to a move to 319 Niles Avenue. Because Mr. Douglas cannot be present <br /> at the June 1 I Council meeting due to his required attendance at a national equal employment event, 1 <br /> will provide information from the Commission, and Controller Mark Neal will also present this <br /> Resolution to the Council at its Committee and regular meeting. <br /> Thank you for our consideration.
