I Human Resources and Economic Development Committee July 13, 1992 Aladean DeRose of the City's Legal Department then reviewed Substitute Bill No. 45-92 and highlighted the amendatory language. She noted that such an Ordinance is required in order to be eligible for HUD funding. It was noted that HUD has a deadline of September 15, 1992 for such changes. It was also noted that ADA changes would be addressed in a later Ordinance. Following further discussion, Council Member Duda made a motion, seconded by Council Member Washington, that Substitute Bill No. 45-92 as amended be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. Under miscellaneous business it was brought to the Committee's attention by the Council Attorney that a request has been received to suspend the rules for Bill No. 58-92 which would authorize the City to amend the "Amended Agreement of Operations Between the St. Joseph County Hotel-Motel Tax Board of Managers and the South Bend Civic Center Board of Managers and the City of South Bend". Mr. Tim Hartzer a member of the Hotel-Motel Board made the presentation.He noted that approximately 1.8 million dollars of renovations to the Century Center is being done as a part of the bond, with an additional $800,000.00 for the Studebaker Museum. This Ordinance would authorize amendments to the Agreement. It was noted that payments would begin at $225,000.00 and would increase to $400,000.00 in the year 2001. A closing on the Bonds is to take place tomorrow. Council Member Coleman spoke in favor of the suspension and suggested touring the Center since the changes are the most significant ones being made since 1977. There was no formal action taken by the Committee on this request. Following further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member,Lee Slavinskas Vice Chairperson,Human Resources and Economic Development Committee
