Jefferson Blvd, Suite 400 <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />The attached bill for your consideration and approval will appropriate $965,051.67 from the Industrial <br />Development Fund, Fund 434, for demolition activities and repayment of the Section 108 Loan for the <br />Studebaker/Oliver Project. As required by Indiana Code 36-7-13-5 (c), the Council may not conduct any <br />business requiring expenditures from Fund 434 without the approval, in writing, of a majority of the <br />members of the South Bend Advisory Commission on Industrial Development. <br />On November 8, 2005 the Advisory Commission on Industrial Development met and unanimously <br />approved Resolution No. 3-2005 pledging CRED revenues to repayment of the Section 1081oan between <br />the City of South Bend and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Resolution No. <br />4-2005 recommending that the $965,051.67 received for Fiscal year 2005 be appropriated and spent for <br />the repayment of the Section 108 Loan for the Studebaker/Oliver Project. A copy of Resolutions No. 3- <br />2005 and No. 4-2005 are attached for your review. <br />Subsequent to that meeting of the Advisory Commission, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development allowed the Advisory Commission to release $97,200.00 from the pledge of CRED <br />revenues. That money was released to be used for demolition activities. I have attached the correspondence <br />from HUD approving the release. The Advisory Commission will meet, prior to the Council's public <br />hearing of this bill, to amend Resolution 4-2005 to authorize the use of $97,200.00 for demolition <br />activites. I will provide that amended Resolution to the Council prior to the December 11`~ public hearing. <br />I will attend both the Committee and Council hearings to present this bill. <br />Please call me at 245-6112 if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely <br />- Filed In Clerk's C~fice <br />NOV 2 1 2006 <br />Andy Laurent <br />Economic Development Specialist <br />dOHN VOORDE <br />Cl7Y CI,'rrK, S0.8END, iN. <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL HL PROGRAM fff~~~~ <br />PAMELA C.
