6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd e. Resolution No. 532, Merry Avenue Project: This Resolution authorizes the execution of Quit- Claim Deed for the transfer of title in and to be disposed of in the Merry Avenue Project to the Economic Development Corporation. Mr. Brownell advised that we have been working under a contract with the Model Cities people to do the work of acquiring the property in the Merry Avenue Project_ We have completed that work and we have title to all of the land and the alleys. Merry Avenue has been vacated. There are one, two or three condemna ti ns where we got the Clerk's Deed and paid the money into Court where the matter is still pending to. determine whether or not we will have to pay any additional funds. He stated he has apprised Mr. Carl Ellison of that fact and that we will be glad to come before the Commission for the authorization and to execute a Quit-Claim Deed to the property, but we wanted him to know that there might be some additional expenses that they may have to pa us under the contract if the Court should find that we owe any additional funds. The Chair asked Mr. Carl Ellison if he hao any objections to that, and Mr. Ellison advised he had none. Mr. Dan Caesar, WSBT -TV Reporter, asked if that involves approxi- ma tely four acres and Mr. Brownell stated there are two pieces of land involved here: One is the land that was deeded by the. So th Shore Railroad to the City of South Bend, and by the City of South Bend to the Economic Development Corporation; and the of er is the piece of land that we acquired as the Merry Avenue Pr ject which we will transfer to them.
