South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—May 31, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> B. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (2) continued... <br /> Renaissance District Project and allows time <br /> for Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton to secure new <br /> locations for their body shop and towing <br /> operations. <br /> Mr. Downes asked whether Hamilton has <br /> other property it intends to operate is towing <br /> business from, or has identified a site for <br /> relocation. Mr. Relos thought they have <br /> room at the body shop location to house their <br /> towing operation temporarily. <br /> Ms. Kolata noted that Hamilton Towing's <br /> attorney wanted additional language in the <br /> agreement related to the relocation payment, <br /> as follows: Paragraph one page two: "the <br /> owner hereby agrees to sell the property to <br /> the City for $320,000 together with an <br /> administrative settlement of$290,000 and <br /> relocation and re-establishment costs of <br /> $340,000 for a total of$950,000 subject to <br /> the following terms." <br /> Mr. Varner asked Ms. Kolata to explain the <br /> difference between administrative settlement <br /> and re-establishment costs. Ms. Kolata <br /> explained that the administrative settlement <br /> is the difference between what the city's <br /> purchase offer is for ($320,000) and what it <br /> must pay to secure a willing seller. The <br /> relocation and re-establishment costs are <br /> moving costs and the costs associated with <br /> providing a comparable location to re- <br /> establish the business. Hamiltons will find a <br /> location, handle the relocation and remove <br /> themselves from their current spot. <br /> 19 <br />
