South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—January 24, 2013 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (7) Proposal for signage removal at College Football Hall of Fame <br /> Mr. Schalliol noted that North American Signs has submitted a proposal to provide signage <br /> removal services for the on-building and freestanding signage on the Hall of Fame property. <br /> Since the Hall has closed, the city has been working to remove all signage related to it on the <br /> Indiana Toll Road, directional signs within the City of South Bend and signage on site at the <br /> Football Hall of Fame. There are two large freestanding signs that will need to be removed <br /> as well as four logo signs on the building. The proposal also includes removal of all the <br /> flags on the gridiron flagpoles and removal of the goal post. The total cost of the proposal is <br /> $2,320 and 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 for signage removal at the College Football Hall of <br /> Fame. <br /> B. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) Resolution No. 3120 accepting the transfer of real property from the City of South <br /> Bend (March 2010 tax sale properties) <br /> Mr. Relos noted that at the March 2010 County Commissioner's tax sale, the Commission <br /> authorized staff to bid on available parcels in the Ignition Park South Expansion Area. At <br /> the sale, staff was able to acquire 18 parcels. Since that time, these parcels have been <br /> through the notification process, the court system to gain tax deeds, quiet title action, and <br /> finally title insurance to ensure clean title to the properties. <br /> At the time of the March 2010 tax sale, the Board of Public Works was the agent which <br /> actually acquired the properties because the properties were not yet on the Commission's <br /> acquisition list. These properties have since been added to the acquisition list, and can now <br /> be transferred into the Commission's name. Approval of this transfer will allow properties <br /> in this development area to be commonly owned by the Commission. <br /> On January 22 a resolution will be presented to the BPW to transfer these properties, subject <br /> to Commission approval accepting them. Once both bodies approve their respective <br /> resolutions, deeds will be prepared to complete the transfer. Staff requests approval of <br /> Resolution No. 3120. <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br /> Commission approved Resolution No. 3120 accepting the transfer of real property from the <br /> City of South Bend.
