South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - January 16, 1981 <br />7. PROGRE S REPORTS (continued) <br />Mr. Ni tz: We have to look over the contract and whether <br />it is conomically feasible or not. This has been our <br />big qu stion and I think Ms. Auburn raised that question <br />even b fore she saw the Janotta Report. <br />Ms. Auburn: I had the same questions about the economic <br />feasibility of the proposal. <br />Mr. McMahon: It provides some assistance. We will find <br />out how much once we ask for a resubmission of the per- <br />tinent economic data that the Commission will be review- <br />ing. 4e are into that negotiation process and right now <br />that i3 the card that we will be able to throw on the <br />table to see what comes back from the developers. Hope- <br />fully it wil.l..be more attractive and that we ;will .see <br />more p sitive proposals than have been presented to the <br />Commis ion in the past. <br />Mr. Nitntz, I would like to report to the Commission <br />that Pat and I were at the City Council Meeting for a <br />number of hours Monday night, and the Claeys Candy Tax <br />Abatement came up. One of the Council Members commented <br />on the need to improve the guidelines. <br />Mr. McMahon: I have had some meetings with the Council <br />Commit ee in that regard and I think I raised all of the <br />questions to them I would like them to think about. They <br />are in the process of reviewing that. We have had input <br />from the Chamber and input from some real estate devel- <br />opers iround town and such. I think that the Council is <br />also v ry cooperatively soliciting information from other <br />communities as to how their programs are structured and <br />I thin< that some further definition of the guidelines <br />will b forthcoming to us within the next 30 days. I <br />would ike to see that done before we see another peti- <br />tion c me and so would the Council. <br />Mr. Ni�ntz: They passed the Claeys Abatement, didn't <br />they? <br />Mr. McMahon: Yes. <br />Ms. Detbeck: What is the present condition of the Odd <br />Fellow Building? <br />Mrs. K lata: The roof was repaired and the windows are <br />boardel up. The former building manager does check it <br />out on a periodic basis to make certain that there are <br />no serious problems. There is anti- freeze in the pipes. <br />19 <br />
