South Bend Redevelopment Authority <br />• Special Meeting - March 8, 1991 <br />3. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />purchase land, but did not set forth procedures for the <br />purchase of land. Resolution No. 33 spells out that there <br />are two different sections of Indiana law that relate to <br />purchase of property by political subdivisions. One <br />specifically excludes the Redevelopment Authority and the <br />other provides procedures for the Redevelopment Commission, <br />but does not say that the Redevelopment Authority must <br />follow those procedures. <br />The Authority works in furtherance of projects established <br />by the Redevelopment Commission. Resolution No. 33 <br />determines that the Authority will follow procedures <br />similar to those of the Redevelopment Commission and <br />outlines that procedure. This will allow for consistency <br />in the handling of projects, whether acquisitions are <br />implemented by the Redevelopment Commission or the <br />Redevelopment Authority. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Gammage, seconded by Mr. Fewell and <br />unanimously carried, the Authority approved Resolution No. <br />• 33 establishing and adopting a procedure for the purchase <br />of property needed or considered useful in connection with <br />any redevelopment project or purpose of the South Bend <br />Redevelopment Commission. <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />a.
