Beck <br />Member of the Common Council <br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Ernest Szarwark, <br />attorney, indicated this real property abatement is being sought by Tripods <br />Partnership for improvements to be located at 212 E. LaSalle. He indicated this <br />project will create six new jobs and preserve 17 existing jobs. He indicated the <br />project in question consists of the construction of a building to be used by South <br />Bend Orthopedic Associates, to provide advanced medical assistance to the South Bend <br />community. He indicated this abatement was for a three year period. He indicated <br />that after abatement the taxes will be $77,000 per year. Council Member Taylor made <br />a motion to adopt this resolution, seconded by Council Member Serge. Council Member <br />Voorde indicated he was against granting this abatement. He indicated when Tripods <br />asked for an Economic Development Bond they indicated they would not seek any other <br />incentives. He indicated they have made changes in their original plans as well as <br />the original site and they now are planning to build in an area that qualifies for <br />tax abatement. He indicated the abatement ordinance clearly states that they cannot <br />have a building permit before requesting abatement, however, Tripods has two <br />building permits, an electrical permit, as well as a foundation permit. There was <br />discussion among the Council regarding the Redevelopment Commission indicating to <br />Tripods that they would grant them tax abatement, when only the Council can grant <br />abatement. The motion carried on a roll call vote of eight ayes and one nay <br />(Council Member Voorde). <br />RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />DESIGNATING CERTAIN AREAS WITHIN THE CITY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3035 <br />NORTH BENDIX AN ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AREA FOR PURPOSES OF REAL <br />PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT. <br />Council Member Voorde made a motion to continue public hearing on this resolution <br />until July 28, seconded by Council Member Braboy.
