7. PROGRESS REPORTS, Continued- Counsel suggested to the Chair that it is indeed proper for the Commission to ratify the actions of the Executive Director in the publication of the notice in the South Bend Tribune concerning availability of the public disclosure documents and the contract for sale of land for private redevelopment. Mr. Wiggins so moved, Mr. Ci.ra seconded and motion carried. Chair acknowledged an announcement that the public disclosure material which is necessary under the regulations concerning this project are available in this office and can be seen upon applica- tion with the Director. "Well Warren, I think we are in good shape now. Kevin has always steered us correctly up to now ". Mr. Deahl: He is doing everything he can - and Chuck Boynton has cooperated fully - he has ordered the title policies. We are working toward a closing during the week of the 25th (April). It is going to take a heap of doing as you might imagine with all of the red tape that has to be accomplished. Mr. Conard dropped off the plans - topographical - do you need them? Mr. Butler: We will need to approve the architectural and engineering plans. Mr. Brownell: We won't need the topographical plans, but we will need the architectural plans prior to commencement of construction. You can't start your construction until they are approved. Mr. Butler: We are talking basically about your architectural render- ings for the design committee approval. Mr. Brownell: We will have to bring the fire department in when you get the architectural rendering. Mr. Medlock: I think we have everything here. I had to go to Columbus yesterday and I flew through Cleveland to pick these up. This is what the contractor tells me are the architectural plans as approved by HUD in the approval of the final proposal and by FHA in the mort- gage insurance commitment. This represents what he refers to as the architectural set of drawings as opposed to a construction set. There are the various parcel descriptions, building details, and this is the parking. These are the floor plans - (Mr. Medlock was showing the Commission the drawings which he brought with him). Mr. Butler: Gordon, is the name of the project official? Mr. Medlock: The name of the project that we checked with the Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce ... and we got a general reaction that remembering Karl King would be appropriate. I talked with Ms. King - it's been a year ago now - and she was agreeable. We have been using the name - it is being called "The Karl King RiverBend Tower ".
