Subject: Resolution 2689 -Accepting the Transfer of Real Property from St. Joseph County
Date: May l8, 2010
This Resolution accepts the transfer of two properties fi•om St. Joseph County to the
Commission. The properties are the former EMI property at 2020 S. Main Street and the former
Millennium Environmental property at 604 S. Scott Street. The County obtained title to the property
through the tax sale process and is conveying them to the Commission for $1 per parcel.
We have worked with environmental legal counsel to obtain a "Comfort Letter'" for each
property from the Indiana Brownfields Program. We"ve received the letter for the EMI property and
expect the letter for the Millennium property sometime this week. If the letter for the Millennium
property does not come by the time of your meeting I request that you approve the resolution subject
to receipt of that letter. The purpose of the Comfort Letter is to protect the Commission from
environmental liability for the property.
Our plans are to demolish both properties and make the land available for new development.
The Indiana Department of Enviromnental Management has agreed to complete a remediation of the
soils at the Millennium property and we will coordinate our demolition with them so that they can
complete their cleanup.
Please contact me at 235-9374 or akolata(ciaouthbendin.~~o~~ if you have any questions.
