South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meetng - August 3, 1979 <br />6. NEW BUSI qESS (continued) <br />f. continued.. ... <br />RE <br />Mr. llison: The original contract essentially <br />call for presentation to the Commission. We did not <br />cont mplate the presentation`to the Executive Session, <br />invo ving'the Mayor and the Common Council. <br />Mr. lira: Isn't that all part of it, really? <br />Mr. Ellison: Well I suppose it could be. If the <br />Commission were to say to Mr. Childs.. -. "you shouldn't be <br />paid for those services ", Mr. Childs would accept that. <br />When the staff negotiated the contract, we did not con - <br />temp ate Mr. Childs being required at our request to do <br />the humber of presentations that ultimately occurred. <br />It is a judgement call. Normally, a consultant of Child's <br />reputation, and certainly of his past association with the <br />Commission, would be more than willing to make as many <br />presentations as we asked, but I think the Commission has <br />a responsibility to be reasonable; particularly when we are <br />rece ving services that were not originally negotiated and <br />understood. In this situation, I felt it was reasonable <br />to a'low some adjustment in the contract to pay in part <br />for iome of the additional services we received. <br />Mr. imtz: I did ask Mr. Childs to make a number of <br />presentations that were not contemplated, and he did very <br />well in fact, the one with the Historic Preservation Com- <br />miss on was very well done; I think he satisfied some of <br />their questions. <br />Mr. Robinson made a motion to approve "Amendment to <br />Cont act for Professional and Technical Services ", between <br />the City of South Bend, Department of Redevelopment, and <br />James E. Childs &'Associates, Inc., for an extension of <br />Mr. Child's contract by 44 days and increase the compensation <br />by $430.00, seconded by Mr. Cira, and the motion was carried. <br />(Ms. Auburn was abstained from voting because of a possible <br />conf ict of interest). <br />Commission a <br />comm ncement <br />Indiana R -66 <br />proval requested for Resolution #590, authorizin <br />of condemnation action on Acquisition Parcel #8- <br />Mr.utler: This parcel is the South half of the Oscols Drug <br />site <br />Ms. fluburn made a motion to approve Resolution #590, authori- <br />zing commencement of condemnation action on Acquisition Parcel <br />#8-12, Indiana R-�66, seconded by Mr. Ctra, and the motion <br />was unanimously carried, <br />W <br />RESOLUTION <br />#590 AUTHORIZING <br />COMMENCEMENT OF <br />CONDEMNATION <br />ACTION ON PARCEL <br />#8 -12, IND.
