South Bend 10development Cc mmission <br />Regular Mee ing - October 27, 1989 <br />6. NEW BUS: = (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />Ms. urn: We seem to have that track <br />record, don't we? <br />Mrs. Kolata: Pretty rapidly, too. <br />Mr. De aruelle: Pretty quick. But we <br />would be happy to meet with the staff. <br />Mr. imtz: Thank you very much, <br />Comniissioner Piasecki. <br />Mr. imtz: I have had several phone <br />calls on this item.

Anybody else on <br />Edcreaater Place? <br />Mr. Fleenor: I'm Geoffry Fleenor. I <br />live at 553 River Avenue. If I hear what <br />you are saying to me, it's that if <br />priv ite individuals want to came in and <br />buy but and tempt people who need money <br />in a neighborhood to sell their <br />
