REGULAR MEETING <br />OCTOBER 27, 2003 <br />WHEREAS, the Urban Enterprise Association of South Bend, Inc. throughout its existence <br />has been engaged in and has undertaken a number of programs and operations in and serving <br />business and residents located within the Enterprise Zone (hereinafter the "Zone "), and continues <br />to operate, supervise and conduct such programs and operations; and <br />WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Urban Enterprise Association of South Bend, Inc. <br />(Hereinafter the Board) has expressed its continued commitment to its mission of increasing the <br />number of jobs in the Zone by the retention and expansion of existing businesses and the attraction <br />and development of new businesses and improving the quality of life of Zone residents; and <br />WHEREAS, the Board by resolution dated October 16, 2003 approved a three year strategic <br />plan proposing to guide its activities within the Zone and recommends to the Common Council of <br />South Bend its submission to the State Enterprise Zone Board. <br />that it: <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of South Bend, Indiana <br />That the three year strategic plan, a true and complete copy of which is attached hereto <br />and incorporated herein, dates as of October 16, 2003, shall be and hereby is approved. <br />2. The Executive Director of the Board is hereby authorized and directed to cause to be <br />submitted to the Indiana Urban Enterprise Zone Board for its evaluation and review the <br />application for designation approved hereby, and any and all supporting <br />documentation, resolutions and the like. <br />3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the <br />Council and approval by the Mayor. <br />s/Karen L. White <br />Member of the Common Council <br />Councilmember King, Chairperson, Community and Economic Development Committee, reported <br />that this committee held a Public Hearing on this bill this afternoon and voted to send it to the full <br />Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Ms. Pam Meyer, 17550 White Chapel Court, South Bend, Indiana, Director, Community & <br />Economic Development, 1200 County -City Building, South Bend, Indiana, and Director of the <br />South Bend Urban Enterprise Association, made the presentation for this bill. <br />Ms. Meyer advised that this Resolution authorizes the City to submit an application for a new <br />Enterprise Zone designation with a ten (10) year time frame. She noted that there is an existing <br />Enterprise Zone which has been in effect for almost twenty (20) years which will expire in <br />December 31, 2003. This Resolution relates to an application for a separate and distinct zone <br />geographically and for a new program. The application outlines a three (3) year plan outlining that <br />the Enterprise Association will continue its efforts to support the Sample Street Business Complex <br />which is a small business incubator and primarily their zone resident employment program which <br />offers subsidies to people who live in the Enterprise Zone who have issues or obstacles relating to <br />employment so they may receive subsidies for such items as day care expenses, travel, <br />transportation, uniform assistance, tuition and books for continuing education. Ms. Meyer stated <br />that the zone includes the main industrial area of the community, the Studebaker Corridor, the <br />Oliver Plow section, portions of Sample Street, Western and Main and Michigan Streets and a large <br />portion of the residential area around the A.J. Wright development which is one of the first <br />developments in zone history where numerous jobs would be available to zone residents. She noted <br />that if a person lives and works in a zone resident business, that resident can also receive a tax <br />benefit. Therefore, the enlargement of the zone to incorporate more residents is a benefit to the <br />-14- <br />I <br />1 <br />1 <br />
