South Bend Central Development Area <br />(1) Request for funding for repair and replacement of downtown outdoor furniture. <br />Over the past decade, downtown furniture and fixtures have been acquired which provide a <br />cohesive look and feel to the downtown experience. During this time, DTSB has maintained <br />the items by making minor repairs, painting, cleaning, removing graffiti and stickers, etc. <br />After this brutal winter especially, some of the fixtures have been severely damaged or are <br />missing altogether, with others needing replacement parts and repairs. DTSB has compiled <br />a list of these needs totaling $11,883.60. This cost is for the parts or items only, with DTSB <br />performing installation or repair. Staff requests approval of this funding request from the <br />SBCDA TIF, to repair or replace the downtown furniture and fixtures damaged by the hard <br />winter. This expense is not part of DTSB's contracted maintenance responsibilities in the <br />downtown. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved expenditure of $11,883.60 for repair and replacement of downtown <br />outdoor furniture. <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(1) Proposal for professional services to replat two LaSalle Square parcels. (Unity <br />Gardens /St. Vincent DePaul. <br />Mr. Relos noted that that staff solicited a proposal from Danch Hamer Associates to replat <br />two Commission owned parcels near LaSalle Square. These are parcels that Unity Gardens <br />uses to the west of St. Vincent DePaul. We are asking DHA to perform subdivision services <br />to make a two lot, one outlot minor subdivision replat. There is a retention pond on one <br />parcel. The replat will plat that retention pond off from the remainder of its parcel. And, we <br />want to split the eastern most lot at an old abandoned road that is on it. This will help make <br />the St. Vincent DePaul property more marketable and will provide a buffer /setback for reuse <br />
