South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - January 2, 1981 <br />6. NEW BU INESS <br />b. continued.... <br />Mr. Daren: And a previous limit of $9,000.00. <br />Sometimes they did the house anyway even though <br />the house may have required $14,000.00 worth of <br />code items.. So if they did just $9,000.00, then <br />ob iously there were some items lacking. The <br />majority of this work is in that area, houses <br />th t shouldn't have been done in the first place. <br />Mrs. Kolata: They shouldn't have been done at <br />all because they couldn't be completed. HUD <br />has the requirement that all code items must be <br />to en care of. <br />Mr.1 Cira: Why were they started? <br />Mrs. Kolata: Because the feeling was that to <br />do some of the work was better than to do nothing. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Bob, it gets down to a question of <br />philosophy. Don Wiggins used to say, many times, <br />yo can't replace the house, and it is better to <br />re air it if it can be lived in and habitable, <br />ra her than to tear it down and have a vacant lot. <br />Mr. Daren: They might have approached it with the <br />attitude that if they had $9,000.00 they might do <br />the roof, wiring, and so on and if they ran to <br />$9,000.00 they would let floors, walls, and windows <br />go. <br />Mr. Nimtz: As it turns out with the inflation and <br />ec omy, and so on, the money that was put in there <br />5 r 6 years ago is worth much more than it would <br />be ow. <br />Mr. Robinson moved that the contracts be awarded COMMISSION AWARDS THREE (3) <br />as recommended by the Bureau of Housing. Mr. Cira CONTRACTS UNDER HUD AUDIT <br />se onded the motion and it was unanimously carried. CLEAN -UP ACTIVITY <br />c. Commission a roval requested for Resolution No. 631 <br />au orizing the preparation, execution, use an su - <br />mission of Proclaimer Certificate in connection with <br />the East Bank Development Area. <br />Mrs. Kolata: The Resolution basically allows the <br />Executive Director to prepare, execute, and submit <br />Pr claimer Certificates as they relate to the East <br />Bank. We have a similar Resolution on file as it <br />relates to the downtown area, but this one is speci- <br />ca 1y for the East Bank Area. It is tied to the next <br />I Me <br />
