South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — Thursday, August 15, 2013 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />G. Ratification of Services Contracts <br />Ms. Schey made a motion to table ratification of the purchase agreement for 1509 Kendall and to <br />ratify the remainder of the service contracts. Mr. Vamer seconded. The motion failed on a vote <br />of two to three. Ms. Jones, Mr. Downes, and Mr. Inks were opposed. <br />Mr. Downes made a motion to ratify the Services Contracts and the Purchase Agreement for <br />1509 Kendall which were approved by staff since the July 25, 2013 meeting. Mr. Inks seconded. <br />The motion carried on a vote of four to two. Mr. Varner and Ms. Schey were opposed. <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br />A. Update on the RFP process for corridors on Lincolnway West and Western <br />Mr. Divita noted that on behalf of the Redevelopment Commission the city has issued a Request <br />for Proposals for a contractor to prepare a market based strategic revitalization plan for the <br />Lincolnway West and Western corridors. The plan would address activities and market changes <br />since the last plans for the corridors were completed in 1999. The effort would support the <br />economic vitality by making our streets work for us. The current and projected market conditions <br />will be analyzed to help identify priority areas and activities for private and public investment. <br />We would expect the plan to include business development, land use, design, and streetscape <br />elements. The RFP itself was issued last Friday, August 9, 2013, with proposals due back by <br />September 13, 2013. The RFP has been made widely available, including on the City's website. <br />To advance the planning process the Commission will be asked to award the consultant a <br />contract. Tentatively that would happen in October. The South Bend Urban Enterprise <br />Association (UEA) has graciously agreed to provide funding of up to $150,000 toward cost of <br />the plan development. TIF might be used to supplement those funds, but because only a portion <br />of the corridors fall within the existing TIF boundaries, only a minority of the cost of the plan <br />development would be borne through TIF funding. At an upcoming meeting, staff will present a <br />contract between the Redevelopment Commission and UEA for that funding with the specific <br />terms to be worked out between now and then. <br />Mr. Downes asked if the RFP asks for two separate plans for the two corridors or is it one plan <br />covering both corridors. Mr. Divita responded that it will be one plan covering two corridors. <br />8. NEXT COMMISSION MEETING <br />The Next Regular Meeting of the Redevelopment Commission is scheduled for Thursday, <br />August 29, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. <br />16 <br />
