South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—December 13, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> 5) Proposal for replat of U.S. 31 Industrial Park, Lots 5 and 6. <br /> Industrial Park, Lot 14, and authorized the Director of the Department of Redevelopment to <br /> sign the appropriate paperwork. <br /> Mr. Schalliol noted that the cost for preparation of this Minor Subdivision, all required paper <br /> work, setting of property corners, attendance at required Plat Committee meetings, filing and <br /> recording fees is $4,350.00. Staff requests approval of the proposal. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br /> Commission approved the proposal from Danch Hamer & Associates for replat of U.S. 31 <br /> Industrial Park, Lots 5 and 6, and authorized the Director of the Department of <br /> Redevelopment to sign the appropriate paperwork. <br /> 6) Resolution No. 3117 authorizing the Director of Department of Redevelopment to <br /> approve and execute contracts on behalf of the City of South Bend, Indiana, <br /> Department of Redevelopment related to the operation and maintenance of Blackthorn <br /> Golf Course. <br /> Mr. Inks noted that Resolution No. 3117 authorizes the Director of Redevelopment to sign <br /> contracts related to the operation and maintenance of Blackthorn Golf Course, to be <br /> followed by ratification by the Commission. Mr. Inks can't recall using that authority at all <br /> in 2012, but it has been helpful in the past to have such authorization. This resolution keeps <br /> that authorization in place. <br /> Mr. Davis said that due to the complexion of ongoing discussions at the Council level of <br /> whether the city should sell off the golf course, bring it into management by the Park <br /> Department, and other discussions related to the costs of running that golf course, he does <br /> not support contracts being signed without prior approval by the Commission. Ratification <br /> after the fact is not acceptable to him. <br /> Mr. Inks responded that Resolution No. 3117 does not provide authority for the Director of <br /> Redevelopment to enter into any contract at any amount. The budget for the Blackthorn <br /> Golf Course is appropriated by the Redevelopment Commission. It's created in conjunction <br /> with a joint committee of the Commission and Airport Authority and any contracts that <br /> would be authorized or signed by the Director of Redevelopment would have to conform to <br /> the Blackthorn Golf Course budget that had been adopted by the Redevelopment <br /> Commission. <br /> Mr. Vamer asked whether repayment for the golf carts the Commission purchased for the <br /> golf course a year or so ago was included in the golf course budget. Mr. Inks responded that <br /> it was. <br /> 11 <br />
