LUECKE, MAYOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS February 2, 2010 Common Council 4th Floor, County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 RE: Appropriation(s) from the Non-Reverting Loss Recovery Fund (Fund 227) Dear Council Members: Enclosed for filing with the South Bend Common Council is an ordinance appropriating $125,000.00 from the Non-Reverting Loss Recovery Fund (#227) for various expenditures. I am requesting an appropriation to cover the costs associated with demolishing a building located on the site of the future Kroc Center (521 S. Chapin Street). I have attached a site plan of the proposed Kroc Center with the existing building highlighted in red along with some photos. I am requesting that $100,000 be appropriated to cover the costs of the preliminary environmental work and also the demolition and removal of the entire building. Time is of the essence in this project as the building needs to be demolished prior to the planned May groundbreaking of the Kroc Center. I am also requesting an appropriation of $25,000 from this same fund for miscellaneous outstanding Brownfield Environmental Regulatory Remediation issues such as post-closure testing at the Fredrickson Park landfill and potentially other sites. I will be in attendance to present this ordinance to the Common Council and answer questions. Regards, ~~~: f6v ,~~- a ~ Gary A.
