CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />G. Patrick Gallagher <br />Director, Public Safety <br />Mr. Peter Nemeth- <br />Common Council Members <br />Council Chambers <br />4th Floor, County —City Bldg.. <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Mr. Nemeth: <br />Re: Demolition Fund Revenue Sharing Request <br />Reply To: <br />August 7, 1974 <br />As of July 17th, 1974 only $35,836,96 remained available for the Bureau of <br />Substandard Buildings to use in their important demolition work on buildings <br />which have deteriorated to the point that there is no longer any hope of <br />rehabilitation. This amount still available breaks down as follows: <br />Remaining Balance <br />Model Cities Demolition Fund $16,288.92 <br />Fund 77 19,548;04 <br />TOTAL $35,836.96 <br />A recent survey revealed approximately 250 structures which were in such bad <br />condition that they should be considered potential units for demolition. The <br />$35,836.96 remaining would only cover the cost of demolition of 45 of these <br />250 units based upon an average $800 cost. We are, through this revenue <br />sharing request, requesting funds to cover the demolition of approximately <br />50 additional units at a cost of $40,000. <br />We feel that with your cooperation, and this additional money, we will be <br />able to more effectively stop the spread of deteriorated homes which troubles <br />our city, and more effectively eliminate public safety hazards which exist in <br />burnt out and abandoned buildings. <br />
