South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />RegulaT Meeting - April 25, 1980 <br />Mr. Nimtz: I might say that I met with <br />Judge Rakestraw last Friday, and he has <br />reviewed the material which was sent to <br />him. It is my understanding from the <br />Judge that he has contacted certain other <br />parties as to whether they would like to <br />be interviewed by him, or would like to <br />discuss matters with him. He is proceeding <br />with his investigation; I presume, and <br />I believe he should have a report for us <br />within the next thirty days. I an not at <br />liberty to say what he is going to do. <br />He has suggested to me certain procedures <br />he is going to follow and I think it is <br />up to him to make any statement he wants <br />to make. <br />Ms. Derbeck: Well alright, I just wanted <br />to know. This is an important matter and, <br />although Mr. Butler has not appeared at <br />recent Commission meetings, I feel it is <br />important. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Sweeney is only filling <br />in for him temporarily. Mr. Butler was <br />here at the last meeting. He has been <br />engaged in other business. <br />Mr. Ellison: The judge had to obviously <br />review a great number of documents. In <br />fact, we have put together a rather <br />substantial packet and he has had to take <br />some time to get all the details together. <br />Ms. Derbeck: Is he being paid for by the <br />Department? <br />Mr. Ellison: Yes, this is at the Commission's <br />expense. He is, in effect, special counsel. <br />There being no further business to come before <br />the Commission, Mr. Donaldson made a motion <br />that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by <br />Mr. Cira, and the motion was unanimously <br />carried. The meeting was adjourned at <br />11: 5 A. M. <br />-39- <br />DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING <br />MR. BUTLER'S POSSIBLE <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST <br />ADJOURM4ENT <br />
