SOU�H BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SPE IAL MEETING: JULY 16, 1973 3. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd) Paqe 5. b. Notice of Public Hearing of the Central Downtown Urban Renewal Project, Indiana R -66 Mr. Lennon advised as a result of the above action, in our Com- mission meeting of August 3, 1973, at 10:30 A.M., in the City - Council Chambers, County -City Building, we will have a Public Hearing for any remonstrance against this particular Resolution. This will be in line with the time schedules which will allow us to go before the Area Plan Commi>sion tomorrow evening, City Council next Monday evening, the Public Hearing on August 3, and if approved by all bodies, it will be presented to the Michiana Council of Governments in their August 8 meeting. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Rev. Williams and unanimously carried, to place the Notice of Public Hearing of the Central Downtown Urban Renewal Project, Indiana R -66, in The South Bend Tribune, Tri- County News, and The Reformer, post the notices as required, and inform all the parties of the Public Hearing. c. Additional water service line installations on Michigan Street, Phase III, Project Indiana R -66 Discussion was held on the feasibility of putting in service lines for empty lots. This will further be developed by staff. The Bureau of Water is authorized to replace all water service lines presently in use with new services on lines that are very old and may break in the next decade. The estimated cost of the work is $22,000 (55 services at $400 each). The Bureau of Water will subcontract most of this work to plumbers and bill the Department of Redevelopment through existing Force Account, Phase III, R -66. The initial cost estimates for Phase III did not include the work, so adjustments need to be made. The sub- contracted plumber will coordinate with the General Contractor since there is some overlap involved in water service relocations. Mr. Lennon advised we do not want to go back and dig up the Pedestrian Way. This should have been programmed in originally. In our Pre - Construction meeting with the utilities, this discus- sion came up and was brought to our attention. The Commission was unanimous to replace any existing lines which need to be replaced and motion was made by Rev. Williams, se- conded by Mr. Wade and unanimously carried, to approve the esti- mated cost of work at $22,000 which would include 55 services @ $400 each, to be paid out of the Phase III, Water Force Account.
