South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting –February 6, 2008 <br /> <br />5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />A. Other <br /> <br />(1) continued… <br /> <br />substitute version deals not only with title <br />services, but appraisals, land surveys, and <br />Phase I Environmental Surveys. It <br />encompasses all of the types of pre-closing <br />services that staff routinely engages in and <br />sets certain maximum fees. <br /> <br />Mr. Peczkowski noted that counsel did not <br />make the change he suggested at the last <br />meeting in point two. “All contracts <br />originated by staff must be related to <br />property in which the Commission has <br />expressed an interest in acquiring.” He <br />preferred to see that stricken and have the <br />paragraph say only, “All contracts originated <br />by staff must be related to property which the <br />Commission owns, intends to sell, use, <br />exchange, lease or otherwise engage in <br />disposition.” He felt the phrase as it currently <br />reads in the resolution was too “open.” He <br />was afraid of putting so much money into a <br />project on the front end that we feel <br />compelled to go ahead with it. Mr. Leone <br />responded that that is a policy issue for the <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Downes and Mr. King disagreed with <br />Mr. Peczkowski’s point of view. They felt to <br />delete the portion would defeat the purpose <br />of what the resolution is intended to <br />accomplish, streamlining the process. <br /> <br />Mr. King asked Mr. Leone to confirm that <br />none of these actions being conferred to staff <br />in this resolution indicates a commitment on <br />the Commission’s part to acquire property <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
