South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—October 11, 2012 <br /> 4. COMMUNICATIONS (CONT.) <br /> Contact Information: John Anella, 124 S Jacob St, South Bend IN 46617, 574- <br /> 287-1844,john.anellaAwladvisors.com <br /> 5. OLD BUSINESS <br /> Ms. Jones asked that Item 6.D.(1)be moved to Old Business. Mr. Downes so moved. <br /> Mr. Varner seconded and the item was moved to Old Business. <br /> D. South Side Development Area <br /> 1) Update on Fellows Street corridor plan <br /> Mr. Ford said he would like to speak to three issues: the project <br /> team, the schedule and recent survey results. <br /> Project Team: Mr. Ford noted that the Fellows Street project <br /> concerns a residential road in a neighborhood. Those subjects <br /> relate to Planning and Public Works. Therefore, going forward, <br /> Jitin Kain, director of the Planning Team, will be the main point of <br /> contact. <br /> Schedule: Mr. Ford acknowledged that this project has dragged on <br /> for some time and a number of people's lives have been on hold <br /> during that time. However, staff does not want to minimize the <br /> gravity of the implications of a decision. We want to move <br /> forward in a way that is transparent, open and in keeping with the <br /> administration's and department's spirit of openness. As of <br /> Monday when the Agenda was put together there was limited <br /> response to the survey. So, the item was put on the Agenda as an <br /> update, rather than for action. Therefore, it would be irresponsible <br /> today to ask the Commission to take action. He has asked the team <br /> to prepare documentation for action to be taken on October 25. <br /> That information will be made available on the city's Web site as <br /> of October 23. The action item on October 25 will be approval of <br /> an addendum to the Master Agency Agreement with the Board of <br /> Public Works to move forward with the professional services <br /> necessary to assist those who will be involved in relocation. <br /> Survey results: Mr. Ford noted that there has been a lot of <br /> anecdotal information from the neighborhood residents. Although <br /> we appreciate that input and want residents to feel free to continue <br /> to provide that, he asked the team to put together a balanced survey <br /> that will capture the opinions of everyone. We are in the process <br />
