South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — Thursday, November 14, 2013 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) A. South Bend Central Development Area (5) continued... Upon a motion by Ms. Schey, seconded by Mr. Inks and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Professional Services Agreement for concept design of improvements to the River Glen Office Campus. (6) Resolution No. 3183 authorizing the Assistant City Attorney of the City of South Bend to execute an agreement on behalf of the City of South Bend, Indiana, Department of Redevelopment. (Studebaker National Museum) Mr. Meteiver noted that Google Maps has embarked upon a further project: they've finished with the maps, street views, and now they are looking at providing interiors of public buildings. The primary focus at this juncture is the mapping of museums. They've asked that the Studebaker Museum be one to be mapped. One of the concerns is the identification of mechanicals and security sensitive areas of the building. They provided a copy of the aerospace museum in Washington D.C. that they have completed and there are nonpublic access areas which are blocked out with a blue blob so one can't identify which walls are attached to which mechanicals so that security risks are taken care of. They have an online access agreement that they would like to have executed by the Redevelopment Commission. It is simply a click to acknowledge the terms, so they can go into the building to do some photography, geo locates, and establish a walking tour. Resolution No. 3183 authorizes Mr. Meteiver to execute that agreement online on behalf of the Commission. Mr. Downes asked if the Studebaker Museum is okay with this. Mr. Meteiver responded that they are. Upon a motion by Ms. Schey, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3183 authorizing the Assistant City Attorney of the City of South Bend to execute an agreement on behalf of the City of South Bend, Indiana, Department of Redevelopment. (Studebaker National Museum). B. Airport Economic Development Area (1) Resolution No. 3184 appointing a member to the Blackthorn Owners' Association Board of Directors. Mr. Relos noted that the Blackthorn Owner's Association's by -laws call for a three member Board of Directors, to be appointed by the Redevelopment Commission. At the annual Owner's Association meeting this past October, the Board of Directors nominated William Panzica to be reappointed to another three -year term. Mr. Panzica's current term expires the end of this year. Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3184, to allow the appointment of William Panzica to the Blackthorn Owner's Association Board of Directors.
