<br />REPORT CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
<br />Office of the Mayor
<br />January 26 -1942
<br />bers of the Honorable Common Council,
<br />th Bend, Indiana.
<br />.
<br />lemenr
<br />t a regular meeting, of your Honorable body, you passed Ordinance No. 3370 entitled "An Ordinance approving and
<br />uthorizing the execution of a Cooperation Agreement between the City of South Bend and the Housing Authority of the
<br />ity of South Bend, Indiana."
<br />his Ordinance ordained that the Mayor is authorized and directed to execute a contract in substantially the form
<br />et forth in the Ordinance, which provided among other things that:
<br />(1) The Housing Authority agrees to develop and administer a low -rent housing project or projects.
<br />(2) In consideration therefore the City will eliminate by demolition, condemnation, closing or compulsory repair,
<br />a number of unsafe or insanitary dwelling units equal in number to the number of new dwelling units. These units to
<br />be eliminated within one (1) year after the date such Project is substantially ready in its entirety for occupancy.
<br />r the purpose of this Agreement a dwelling unit shall be considered unsafe or unsanitary wherever by reason of
<br />lapidation, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities, or any combination
<br />these factors, it is detrimental to safety, health or morale.
<br />3) The City further agrees that throughout the useful life of such Project, it will not levy, impose or charge any
<br />axes, special assessments, service fees, charges or tolls against the Project, and, that it will furnish, without
<br />ost or charge to the Authority or the tenants the usual municipal services and facilities which are furnished to
<br />then dwellings or inhabitants in the city.
<br />term "useful life of such Project" shall mean the period of physical usefulness for the purpose of providing
<br />lling accomodations, but in no event less than the number of years during which any of the bonds issued to fi:
<br />development of such project or bonds issued to refund such bonds remain outstanding.
<br />(4) It is agreed that the Authority shall pay annually,in lieu of taxes and assessments a sum equal but not in ex-
<br />cess of three percent (3%) of the aggregate income derived from shelter rents. This three percent (3o ) to be dis-
<br />tributed among all taxing bodies as their interest appears.
<br />(5) The City andThe Authority agree that this contract shall not be abrogated, changed or modified so long as any
<br />bonds issued to aid the financing the development of any Project shall remain outstanding and unpaid, and so long
<br />as the title to said Project is held by the Authority.
<br />the time this Ordinance was passed, I am of the opinion it was the thought and -the desire of the majority of your
<br />mbers that those people; who because of circumstances beyond their control are not properly or adequately housed;
<br />tizens who because of low and inadequate income are unable to pay sufficient rent to secure proper, safe and sani-
<br />ty living acgomodations should'be provided.standard, safe'-and sanitary dwellings ,.and it was for this group only
<br />at the Ordinance was passed.
