Mr. Ellison: There was. The bids were rejected in November 1979. The Commission then negotiated. with any and /or all parties. I believe our minutes will reflect that. Mr. Cira made a motion that it be the Department Df_ Redevelopment's intent to convey the Odd Fellows Building to the South Bend Building Corporation provided that the necessary bond, in the amount of $200,000, can be provided and that the legalistics and other arrange- ments be completed to the satisfaction of the Redevelopment Commission, within thirty (30) days, seconded by Mr. Donaldson, s. Auburn: I have a question before the vote. 11 of my questions on this proposal have of been answered. All of my concerns ave not been answered. I do not see the omission as a "rubber stamp" Commission, owever, I do believe that with the change f administration and with the new Mayor oming into office, that we owe respect to hat office and the leadership at a point n time where we support the Mayor in any hange of directions. I take Mr. Brademas' :)mments in all due respect, and in many ases, I do agree with some of his comments. will not, however, stand in the way of he Mayor's wish to go into negotiations ith Mr. Sam Kalman on the Odd Fellows wilding. I do not wish to obstruct any ovement that we can made on the Odd allows Building. . Nimtz: I might say that I have reser- tions. I think many of the Commissioners ve some reservations as to whether this n be done. I spoke with Ms. Derbeck at e last meeting about whether this can done for the amount of projected cost d whether it can be rented for the oiected rental. -21-
