South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regu1 r Meeting January 18, 1980 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (continued) <br />Mr. Ellison continues... <br />Pursuant to the Commission instructions, <br />w have managed to get all the windows <br />c vered in the Odd Fellows Building. In <br />ac.dition, we did have the parapet on the <br />r of repaired and the cost came to <br />$1,450.00. The work was done approxi- <br />ma.tely two to four weeks ago, so we no <br />1 nger have leak problems as was called <br />tc our attention by Mr. T. Brooks Brademas <br />scme time ago. <br />Nimtz: The Chair will state that <br />. Ellison, Mrs. Kolata, and I had a <br />eting with the Mayor and we are working <br />the procedures for considering tax <br />atement requests. The Mayor has <br />ked us to work quickly on that issue, <br />d we hope to have a tentative <br />ocedure worked out very shortly to <br />passed by the Redevelopment Commission <br />d presented to the Common Council. <br />MT. Ellison: That is correct. <br />Essentially, the direction we are going <br />in is that there are two things which <br />will happen on tax abatement. One is <br />at the Council would amend, by ordinance, <br />its rules and procedures section to the <br />municipal code to establish a procedure <br />for tax abatement somewhat similarly to <br />a rezone. We are contemplating proposing <br />what the Council should actually <br />do either on a petition by the person <br />wishing tax abatement, by a member of the <br />Common Council, by a citizen, or by the <br />Redevelopment Commission. It would consider <br />passing a resolution for the consideration <br />of something called a "tax abatement district ". <br />It would then refer to the Redevelopment <br />Commission to do a study and make a recommendation <br />as to whether that tax abatement district <br />de ignation be given to certain areas. <br />ThE�n, we are contemplating that in the event <br />a 3etitioner who has property within that <br />a a, and once the "tax abatement district" <br />de ignation is given, that the petitioner <br />wo d formally petition the Council for an <br />acrtual tax abatement. <br />-24- <br />BOARDING UP OF THE <br />ODD FELLOWS BUILDING <br />WINDOWS <br />PROGRESS ON PROCEDURES <br />BEING ESTABLISHED FOR <br />"TAX ABATEMENT" <br />
