South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Regular Mee ing - November 2, 1979 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />d. continued... <br />Mr. Szarwark: Out by the airport, around Brick Road. <br />I t ink it's inside the city limits but I'm not positive. <br />Mr. Nimtz: I don't think it.is Paula, that'd be my <br />gue s. I think it is part of what they are trying to <br />ann x right now. <br />Mr.lDonaldson: I know it isn't. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Let me review the situation. This is similar <br />to what we did previously. All we're doing is recommend- <br />ing to the City Council that they pass the tax abatement <br />resolution? <br />Mr. Butler: We are involved in the process only because <br />there is an informal understanding that these matters <br />should come to the Commission first before the Council. <br />The law provides that the Council makes the decision; <br />our action is without legal force. <br />Mr. Ellison: Is the site serviced by rail? <br />Mr. Szarwark: There is a railroad line at the northern <br />property line. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Butler, if we pass a resolution, what <br />would be the proper resolution? <br />Mr. Butler: Have we acted in each instance by resolution? <br />Mr. Ellison: Actually, we've acted by resolution in <br />those situations where we have already determined the <br />area to be a redevelopment one and by motion in those <br />situations where we have not. <br />Mr.l Nimtz: Do I hear a motion? <br />Mr. Cira made a motion that the Redevelopment Commission <br />recommend to the Common Council that the area commonly <br />referred to as the southeast corner of Sample and High <br />Street (South Bend Tool and Die) be declared a blighted <br />area and that it be granted tax abatement under the <br />statute and that the Director of the Commission be <br />authorized to communicate such recommendation to the <br />Common Council, seconded by Mr. Robinson, and the <br />motion was unanimously carried. <br />-10- <br />
