6. NEW BUSINESS, Continued - <br />Mr. Brownell: If you will bring it to me, I will call Robbie and tell <br />him it is available. <br />The Chair requested that Mr. Brownell take care of the matter and report <br />back at the next meeting. <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br />Mr. Brownell: I have no written reports but I wished to mention that after <br />I was advised by our attorneys that there is no stay order in effect, at <br />the time the court turned down this last motion, I called S. M. Dix in <br />Gra d Rapids and asked Mr. Banta to come to South Bend and start his <br />fixture appraisals. He has been working on them yesterday and today, <br />getting some of the buildings downtown, talking with the people who are <br />occ pying them, looking at the fixtures and determining what fixtures <br />there are that are affixed to the real estate and also taking a look at <br />the places for relocation benefits at the same time. He will go back to <br />Gra d Rapids tonite (March 3) and then hopefully next week we will have <br />eit er Mr. Banta or Mr. Berry back to continue this work. <br />Mr. Dave Anderson: I have two questions, first, have the land appraisals <br />beer completed and .... <br />Mr. Brownell: No, they're not. <br />Mr. Butler: They had gotten pretty far along before the stay order but <br />the3 must now be finished. <br />Mr. Anderson: The fixture and land appraisals are an ongoing process now <br />until they are finished, when do you believe they will be done? <br />Mr. Brownell: I would think within the next 60 to 90 days. <br />Mr. Anderson: My second question, one that Mr. Chapleau could not really <br />answer to my satisfaction and that is: this case is going downstate and <br />whether it goes to the Appellate or Supreme Court, it is dependent upon <br />whether or not the Redevelopment Department is granted a speedy hearing. <br />However, Mr. Chapleau believes that there will be no condemnation suits <br />or cemolition, prior to the appellate ruling, is that correct? <br />Mr. Brownell: If he told you that, it is true because he's the attorney <br />and we are being advised by him. We don't decide those things ourselves. <br />The are decided by the counsel. <br />Mr. Butler: I haven't discussed it with Ed yet but that, of course, is a <br />decision that will have to be made..how far we are going to go.. <br />Mr. Anderson: So there is a possibility that condemnation suits could be <br />fil d prior to the appellate ruling? <br />Mr.lButler: As a legal matter, yes. <br />Jeanne Derbeck: Even if there is a stay? <br />- 7 - <br />
