South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — Meetingdate <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (CONT.) <br />C. Other <br />The face value of the three properties was <br />$27,275. We obtained them for $3,912. At the <br />next meeting there will be a professional <br />services agreement with Mitch Heppenheimer <br />who has in the past taken properties through the <br />notification process. He is charging what he <br />has always charged in the past. <br />Mr. Inks asked if these were subject to the one <br />year redemption. Mr. Relos responded they <br />are. In this sale the owners have one year to <br />redeem them. We did buy three at last <br />September's tax sale. Two were redeemed. <br />The one at Ignition Park South was not <br />redeemed. <br />Mr. Inks asked if to redeem them we receive <br />our investment plus ten percent. Mr. Relos <br />replied that we would, and in addition, we <br />would recoup our legal and title report <br />expenses through Mr. Heppenheimer. <br />Mr. Inks also noted that Aaron Perri, Director <br />of Downtown South Bend (DTSB), is here to <br />provide an update on parkirq in the downtown <br />area. Last year the Commission sent out <br />requests for proposals to manage its parking <br />garages and on- street parking. DTSB was <br />awarded the contract. The Commission asked <br />that DTSB report back after six months on the <br />status of the garages and surface lots. <br />Mr. Perri reported that the parking program <br />remains strong. DTSB promised downtown <br />parkers that the garages would be clean, safe <br />and professional. They've gone to 24/7 <br />staffing contracts, so now there is someone <br />monitoring the garages throughout the night. <br />16 <br />
