South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—September 13, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Mr. Downes stated that he cannot believe <br /> that South Bend is the first place in the <br /> country, or in the world, where this <br /> combination of power is present. He <br /> suggested putting the burden on AEP to <br /> come up with sufficient information. In the <br /> interest of time, to move the project along, he <br /> suggested approving the funding so the <br /> Commission is not holding the project back, <br /> but making the approval contingent upon the <br /> Commission being satisfied with the <br /> information to be provided. <br /> Mr. Davis stated that he did not believe two <br /> weeks would break the project. Mr. Smith <br /> noted that he's been working on and has <br /> landed an international company. It would <br /> be extremely challenging and he doesn't <br /> know that he could overcome it without <br /> additional power. It was unexpected on his <br /> behalf and unexpected on AEP's behalf. <br /> There is a critical time element and he thinks <br /> the city needs to be prudent but sensitive to <br /> the time reality. Mr. Davis said that he is in <br /> support of the Renaissance District project, <br /> but there are people living there. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes seconded by COMMISSION APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH <br /> Mr. Varner, the Commission approved the AEP TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE FEED SERVICES <br /> Contract with AEP to provide Alternate Feed TO UNION STATION TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN <br /> THE AMOUNT OF$165,000,CONTINGENT UPON <br /> Services to Union Station Technology Center SATISFACTORY INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED <br /> in the amount of$165,000, contingent upon IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS REGARDING THE <br /> satisfactory information being provided in SAFETY OF THE POWER LINE BEING BROUGHT TO <br /> the next two weeks regarding the safety of THAT LOCATION <br /> the power line being brought to that location. <br /> Mr. Davis opposed. <br /> 17 <br />
