New Business A. River West Development Area (1) Environmental Restrictive Covenant — Former Studebaker Museum Facility Identification (FID) 24951 Ann Kolata presented the Environmental Restrictive Covenant. Ann states where the old Studebaker Museum was located in the 500 block of S. Lafayette, there was an underground storage tank that was removed and determined to be leaking when the building was torn down. There was a petroleum release on the site, which has since been remediated. However, there are still some chemicals of concern in the ground water and soil. According to IDEM the chemicals of concern are at an acceptable level. IDEM has requested that an environmental restrictive covenant be recorded, so when the property transfers, this covenant will run with the land and show up in title reports. The only restriction is to not use the ground water. Upon a motion by Vice President Varner, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic the motion carried 4 -0, the Commission approved Environmental Restrictive Covenant — Former Studebaker Museum Facility Identification (FID) 24951 submitted September 15, 2016. (2) First Amendment to Development Agreement — JMS Development LLC Aaron Kobb presented the First Amendment to Development — JMS Development LLC. On December 10, 2015 the Redevelopment Commission approved a Development Agreement with JMS that called for a $7.6 million private investment towards the renovation of the downtown JMS Building. The First Amendment details the local public improvements being procured. The improvements include the annex roofing, the store front facade and exterior emergency exit tower on the outside of the building. Upon a motion by Vice President Varner, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic the motion carried 4 -0, the Commission approved the First Amendment to Development Agreement — JMS Development LLC submitted September 15, 2016. (3) First Amendment to Development Agreement — Great Lakes Capital Ignition Park Jitin Kain presented the First Amendment to the Development Agreement — Great Lakes Capital Ignition Park. Last year a budget was set aside for Phase II at Ignition Park. As part of the completion, we are moving a pile of dirt that can be utilized as foundations for future buildings in the park. We are moving the dirt pile from the corner of Sample and Franklin to the west side of the new Ignition Park Drive. The dirt pile was temporarily placed on the east side to assist with the two multi- tenant buildings, however, it's also become an obstruction to their current operations. The amendment states that we are moving this dirt pile to facilitate better visibility for Great Lakes Capital, however, when they need dirt 3 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — September 15, 2016 for their future projects, we will not move it for them; they will be in charge of moving it and any cost involved.

(4) Resolution No. 3361 — Wayne St. Garage Transfer to BPW and Leighton & Wayne Street Garages Associated Leases Transfer to Board of Public Works. David Relos presented Resolution No. 3361, which transfers the Wayne Street Garage and Leighton and Wayne Street Garages Associated Leases from the Redevelopment Commission to the Board of Public Works. Last year we hired Rich and Associates to conduct a downtown parking study, and one of their recommendations is to have all parking facilities be considered one overall system. State statute provides that the Board of Public Works has control over parking facilities, so it is relevant to have the parking garages in their name. This Resolution will allow us to have all of the leases and garages in the name of the Board of Public Works. Revenues will still fall under the parking garage fund. There are currently funds set aside for maintenance and repairs on the garages. Ben Dougherty added that this will streamline the agreements with the City and outside providers. The day to day operations will remain with the Department of Community Investment.
