VII. <br />VIII. <br />REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONERS COMMENDED FOR'SERVICES <br />Mr. Morrison said the Commissioners have done a good job and we <br />have come to a real fruition with the construction of the River <br />Bend Plaza. The Commissioners were at the dedication and the <br />Grand Opening of the River Bend Plaza, and we, as the Board of <br />Trustees, want to thank them not only for ourselves as citizens <br />of South Bend, but all the citizens of South Bend and the <br />general Michiana area. <br />Mr. Lennon advised that we will have the final inspection of <br />the River Bend Plaza this month and we hope to wrap it up and <br />turn the River Bend Plaza over to.the City of South Bend. <br />Mr. Richardson said that the actual work he has been involved <br />in over the period of years -- dating back to his work as City <br />Engineer in the planning of the actual construction of the River <br />Bend Plaza with our consultants and engineers -- really looked so <br />different on paper than what it now looks like in real life. <br />The River Bend Plaza is really beautiful:: <br />APPOINTMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT TRUSTEE <br />Mr. Lennon, Executive Director of the Department of Redevelop - <br />ment, requested the Chair's permission to speak on the Mayor's <br />behalf for the record. <br />Since Mr. F. Jay Nimtz is an appointment of the Mayor, as a <br />member of the Redevelopment Board of Trustees, the Mayor is <br />requesting the replacement of Mr. Nimtz be Mr. Roland A. Kelly, <br />and that Mr. Kelly can be present for the 10:00 a.m. press con- <br />ference meeting. <br />This leaves a vacancy on the presidency of this Board of Trustees. <br />Mr. Roland A. Kelly can be sworn in as a member to the Board in <br />our office now,.which would enable him to vote in this Trustee <br />meeting. The request was carried out and Mrs. Mary Ann Ryback, <br />Deputy City Clerk, had Mr. Kelly sworn in as a member of the <br />Redevelopment Board of Trustees to complete the term of Mr. F. <br />Jay.Nimtz, which will expire: November 26, 1977. <br />Mr. Kelly was congratulated and welcomed as a member of the <br />Board of Trustees. <br />The Vice President - -as Acting Chairman of the Board of Trustees- - <br />called the meeting back to order and requested a motion to nominate <br />a President for the Board of Trustees, City of South Bend. The <br />nominations were open - -Mr. William J. Richardson asked if it would <br />be proper for the Chair to make a motion to suggest that Mr. Morris <br />L. Morrison be nominated for the position of the President on the <br />Board of Trustees - -with the Trustees agreeing. Mr. Welsheimer se- <br />conded the motion for the nomination. <br />- 4 - <br />
