South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -February 15, 2008 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />J. Other <br />(1) continued... <br />February 6 meeting. It delegates to staff the <br />authority to initiate agreements on relatively <br />routine matters, particularly requests for use <br />of Commission owned property and requests <br />from service providers or developers needing <br />temporary access for assessment or repair. <br />With Mr. Inks' approval, Debrah Jennings <br />may initiate those types of agreements. The <br />Commission would ratify those agreements <br />at its next meeting. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by <br />Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved Resolution No. 2438 <br />setting procedures for Temporary Use <br />Agreements. <br />(2) Commission discussion and consideration <br />of Tax Abatement Policy. <br />Ms. Jones noted that on Monday, <br />February 11, the Common Council <br />considered whether or not they should stop <br />approving tax abatements until new property <br />tax legislation is passed and analyzed. Since <br />that directly affects this Commission, she <br />thought it appropriate to consider the <br />implications of such decisions and what the <br />Commission could do to make sure it has all <br />the information available when making that <br />decision. She wanted staff to compile info <br />from the last several years: the types of <br />abatements, size of abatements, revenue <br />generated, what we've done with those <br />revenues. The budgeting we've done for the <br />TIF areas could be severely impacted by <br />COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2438 <br />SETTING PROCEDURES FOR TEMPORARY USE <br />AGREEMENTS <br />19 <br />
