South Bend Commission <br />Regular Mee �edevelopment <br />ing - December 4, 1981 <br />9. NEXT COOMISSION MEETING (continued) <br />when I said that as a legal matter, if the decision is to <br />demolis the building, that has to be done, it has to be <br />done now. It can't wait a month. <br />Mr. Nim z: Mr. Robinson. <br />Mr. Robinson: I have one question. Who will make the de- <br />cision as to whether they do it with explosives or whether <br />they knock it down with a headache ball? <br />Mr. McMahon: At a $102,000 low bid, that's the bid that we're <br />acting on, which does not have explosives. They would have <br />to come back to us. <br />Mr. Butler: Are you willing to pay a premium for that? <br />Mr. Robinson: Question - could we maybe sell tickets for <br />$10 a throw, invite everybody, we might make that 50 grand <br />for people who want to see a building come down with ex- <br />plosives. <br />Mr. Nim z: I was in Indianapolis when the Lincoln Hotel <br />went down. Councilman Voorde, I didn't mean to shut you <br />off, but I learned that once you began opening bids you'd <br />better stay on that trolley so on. We would be pleased to <br />hear from you again, if you wish. <br />Mr. Voor <br />speak, b <br />address <br />you soul <br />intentio <br />Building <br />quoted. <br />really i <br />measure <br />be very <br />walkways <br />pedestri <br />Mr. Bu tl <br />itself, <br />course, <br />are issu <br />building <br />doubled <br />would, o <br />e: The horse is already out of the barn, so to <br />t I would have questioned the $150,000 needed to <br />he liability. I think there are a number of ways <br />address liability and protect the City if your <br />is to reconsider the saving of the Odd Fellows <br />The $150,000 figure was the very top figure <br />I have heard as low as $60,000, but if you are <br />terested in saving the building as a temporary <br />or much, much less money, even though it wouldn't <br />ightly, you could put one of those construction <br />around there, if you were just concerned about <br />ns getting hit on the head. <br />!r: It is my understanding that, that in and of <br />could not be sufficient and also there are, of <br />:he issues beyond the liability situation. There <br />?s concerning work that has to be done to the <br />now in order that the cost of that work not be <br />is we proceed through the winter. A 90 -day period <br />course, require that kind of action. <br />37 <br />
