It has, therefore, become a local priority, as articulated in the designation of the East Bank Development Area and the Monroe - Sample Development Area, and as indicated in the 1979 -81 Community De- velopment Plan, to devote local and federal funds to improve the physical and functional aspects of the areas. Realization of Development Area objectives will be accomplished by a combination of public and private actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, the following: property acquisition, relocation, clearance, vacation and dedication of public rights -of -way, provision for public facilities and improvements and any other activity pertaining to planning and implementing an urban redevelopment plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: SECTION I: The sum of $500,000.00 gram year.
