South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular He ting - December 4, 1981 5. COMMUNICATIONS (continued) It says, "lower cost of rehabilitation lure commercial de- velopers," it says, "rehabilitating commercial buildings isn't recommended for people with weak nerves. Unforeseen problems have a way of coming up to give building owners sleepless nights, but the economics of rehabilitation sug- gest that the rewards can compensate for headaches," and I am ona who I think has some pretty strong nerves. We know that this can be a very, very, very lucrative project for the City of South Bend, the tax payers of South Bend, and for ourselves as well. We have talked with our finance people and we believe that if we have the 90 days, that we can put this back together and meet all of the requirements and objectives of this Commission. Thank you. Mr. Nim z: Thank you. I don't know whether TRANSPO wants to respond or not. Plans and drawings were submitted by them to UMPA, isn't that right? I don't know what you were shown, Mr. Brademas, but certain plans were submitted to UMTA, aiid the approval of their grant and project was based upon th se plans, is that right Mr. Lobdell? Mr. Bragemas: I have those, Mr. President. Mrs. Brookins: I would like to say something. Mr. Nim z: Well now, Mrs. Brookins, if you're going to go into th same thing as you did the other night, we have heard t at. Now, if it's something new, we would be pleased to have You. Mrs. Br okins: Thank you. Why would you doubt that I would wish to speak on the same thing twice. I don't like having my inte rity impugned. Mr. Nim z: Well, as I've said, we are not going to rehash the whole thing as the other evening. Mrs* Brookins: Then don't presume I am going to, you have already stated that once. Mr. Nimtz: I'm just telling you. Proceed. Mrs. Brookins: I think it was improper of you to do so. Mr. Nim z: Then all right, you have a right to your opinion. 15
