LUEcn, MAYOR <br />COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />JEFFREY V. GIBNEY <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR <br />February 1Q, 2009 <br />South Bend Common' Council <br />Fourth Floor Council Chambers <br />400 County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Member: <br />The attached Resolution for your consideration would approve the purchase of property <br />located at 51270 Mayflower Road. This is a companion to Bill # 11 -09 which appropriates <br />the funding necessary to carry out this acquisition. This 10 acre parcel. is needed for Right of <br />Way as it sits in the middle of the Auten Connector path. The Auten Connector is part of the <br />planned Portage Prairie transportation improvements, and will eventually connect with <br />Portage Avenue. Major Moves funds in the amount of $300,000 would be used to acquire <br />the property. The Major Moves funds are to be reimbursed by the AEDA TIF immediately <br />upon acquisition by the City. TIF funds cannot be used to directly acquire the property since <br />it is outside the TIF area. However the property is adjacent to and connected to the TIF <br />area, so the property can be acquired by the City, and TIF can reimburse the City's costs. <br />The Controller has verified that cash is available to support this Major Moves expenditure. <br />I, will make the presentation to the Council at your February 23rd meeting. If you have any <br />questions, please call me at 235 -9339. <br />Sin rely, <br />Donald E.
