South Bend Pedevelopment Commission Regular Mee ing - February 25, 1983 6. NEW BUSINESS (Continued) c. c;onitinuea... Ms. Richmond stated that they did an $11,000 grant which was completed and they are also at abo t 80% completion of the loan contract that was previously approved. We have had no follow - up problems on the grant contract; we do go back to monitoring them so that they are completed. There was no call back on that; she didn't think tha they have reached the expiration date. Ms. Auburn explained that she had somewhat the same concern that Mr. Piasecki has that if we are going to do it that it be done well and be- cause of the spread on this one, the cheapest is not always best. Mr. Piasecki asked about workman's comp and in- sur ce that these people take out. Is this fil with you once, or are they showing you pr f of this on that new job. That's important. Ms. Holston stated that a copy of the insurance is with the application and both are updated annually. Mr. Robinson stated that again it's an erosion of the statute, simply because he is the sole proprietor he doesn't plan workman's comp on h' elf, so it's an erosion and a lot of big fat loopholes and it makes him irritated. He would question the quality of work when you get it as a one man job and how to complete thi gs on time. He assumes that there has ,got to be some corners cut because he knows that there are special things out there that you have to have help on, and he thinks these people have got it bad enough in life without having a law eroded like it's being done. He stated that he certainly won't vote in favor of it. Mr. Nimtz asked if there were any other ques- tions. He stated he will act on these indi- vidually. He asked what the pleasure of the CcnmLission was on Nannie Smith concerning this Mr. Zbinson made a motion for rejection. Mr. Pia ecki seconded the motion. aC MOTION WAS MADE TO REJECT THE BID FOR NANNIE SMITH, 1137 W. JEFFERSON, BY REESE AND SONS FOR $10,841.50
