Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Claims submitted June 4, 2010, and ordered checks to be released. 4. COMMUNICATIONS There were no Communications. 5. OLD BUSINESS A. Airport Economic Development Area (I) Resolution No. 2689 accepting the transfer of real property from St. Joseph County, Indiana. (Millennium Environmental, 604 S. Scott Street and EMI, Inc., 2020 S. Main Street) Mr. Inks asked that item S.A.(1) be tabled until the June 18, 2010 meeting. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission tabled item S.A.(1). 6. NEW BUSINESS A. South Bend Central Development Area (I) Proposal for design and consulting services for College Football Hall of Fame reuse. Mr. Relos noted that ADG has submitted a proposal for design and consulting services for the adaptive reuse of the College Football Hall of Fame building. The scope of services includes identifying the building's strengths and weaknesses; as potential uses are identified, they will assess what would need COMMISSION APPROVED THE CLAIMS SUBMITTED 1UNE 4, 2010, AND ORDERED THE CHECKS TO BE RELEASED THERE WERE NO COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION TABLED ITEM S.A.(1) South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 to be done to accommodate the use; and they will suggest compatible uses. Staff requests a not-to-exceed fee of $50,000. Ms. Jones asked what the time frame would be. Mr. Relos responded that there is no set time frame. Staff expects a decision to be made about reuse in the next year. Mr. Inks noted that there was $175,000 set aside in the budget for matching funds for an EDA grant that was going to look at the reuse of the facility. That item seems to be off the table. Those funds will be used for this contract. Ms. King asked if ADG will be preparing a report. Mr. Relos said ADG's services will be used on an as-needed basis. When a potential user comes forward, ADG will do a study to see what adaptations would need to be made to accommodate them. We would get a report on the accommodations that would need to be made for that user. Mr. Gibney noted that the building is very unique. Two-thirds of it is underground; one-third is above ground. As staff has talked with groups interested in the facility, they are most interested in the above ground portion. We think the lower level can also be attractive for a variety of tenants. However, we don't know structurally what we can do underground. We have suggested large pyramid shaped skylights, but we don't know if the structure would support those. We have suggested moving the front of the first floor closer to the street, but don't know if the lower level will support that. Also, there are no loading docks directly into the Hall of Fame. Unloading must be done at Century Center. The tunnel entrance between 4 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 Century Center and the Hall of Fame poses a security problem. There are a variety of things staff needs to resolve and ADG will be charged with helping to resolve those questions and problems. Mr. Varner wondered if the information ADG provides would become obsolete if the timeline for the Hall of Fame's move is delayed. Mr. Gibney responded that it would not. He thinks the timeline is perfect. The real estate is the Commission's and if the Commission has a new user for the facility we can end the relationship with the Hall of Fame at any time. Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by COMMISSION ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the ADG FOR DESIGN AND CONSULTING SERVICES IN Commission accepted the proposal from AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,000 ADG for design and consulting services in an amount not to exceed $50,000. B. Airport Economic Development Area (1) Resolution No. 2692 amending the Development Plan for the Airport Economic Development Area and adding one or more parcels to the List of Parcels to be Acquired. (755 S. Michigan St.) Mr. Relos noted that on January 15, 2010 the Commission authorized staff to conduct surveys, investigations, and to thoroughly study the Airport Economic Development Area. This process included the gathering of information on parcels to be added to the acquisition list and an estimation of costs associated with the acquisition and redevelopment of properties within this development area. Resolution No. 2692 is a declaratory South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 resolution which begins the process of adding 755 S. Michigan Street to the acquisition list of the Airport Economic Development Area Development Plan. 755 S. Michigan St. is a one-story commercial building just north of the Center for the Homeless. Acquisition of this property would allow the Commission to partner with Memorial Hospital, as it has with Ivy Tech, Hansel Center, and the Engman Natatorium. The Commission will purchase and clear the property. Memorial Hospital will then construct a new medical clinic on the site. Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 2692 and authorization to advertise for a public hearing after the Area Plan Commission and Common Council approve separate resolutions approving the amendment to the development plan. Mr. Inks noted that the Commission does not have eminent domain in the AEDA, so the acquisition will be voluntary. Mr. Gibney noted that Memorial Hospital currently has a clinic at the Homeless Center. If provided with a clear site, Memorial has committed to building a new clinic there. Mr. Varner asked if Memorial Hospital will in some way compensate the city for acquisition of the property. Mr. Gibney said they would not. Memorial's contribution will be the new facility. Mr. Gibney said it is important to use TIF to benefit our low income community. More people use the clinic at the Homeless Center than actually reside at the center. This clinic would serve a population that needs to be served. If they are not served here, they will 6 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 be served at the emergency room. It's also a very nice clean-up project on an important gateway to South Bend. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2692 amending the Development Plan for the Airport Economic Development Area and adding one or more parcels to the List of Parcels to be Acquired, authorizing the advertising for a public hearing following approval by the Common Council. (2) Resolution No. 2693 related to acquisition of property in the Airport Economic Development Area. (1521 S. Scott St.) Mr. Relos explained Items 6.B.(2) and (3) together. There are currently two properties in the Ignition Park /West Indiana corridor that are listed for sale by realtors. These properties were added to the acquisition list by a recent amendment to the AEDA Development Plan. Information on these properties is: 1521 S Scott St 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,459 sf $10,800 1520 S Scott St 4 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,440 sf, with 1 car garage $7,000 Acquisition costs for homes in this area were estimated at $35,000 - $60,000. Staff asks for authorization to move forward with the purchase of these two properties at their list prices, which are well below the estimated COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO.2692 AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA AND ADDING ONE OR MORE PARCELS TO THE LIST OF PARCELS TO BE ACQUIRED, AUTHORIZING THE ADVERTISING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOLLOWING APPROVAL BY THE COMMON COUNCIL 7 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 acquisition costs for dwellings in this area, if the appraisals establish their values equal to or greater than the list prices. Mr. Relos noted that title work was done recently and the titles are clear. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2693 related to acquisition of property in the Airport Economic Development Area. (1521 S. Scott St.) (3) Resolution No. 2694 related to acquisition of property in the Airport Economic Development Area. (1520 S. Scott St.) Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2694 related to acquisition of property in the Airport Economic Development Area. (1520 S. Scott St.) (4) Staff report on Blackthorn Golf Course van lease. Mr. Inks noted that the Commission was previously apprised of the need for a van for Blackthorn Golf Course. The current van's lease expired in May. The van is used to support course operations, including shuttling guests and volunteers for outings and tournaments, moving tables and chairs for hosted events, trips to the bank, etc. Staff believes it is appropriate for the staff to have a van. Kitson and Partners have agreed that there will be no personal use of the van. The lease term is 36 months with payments of $387.40 per month. This payment is COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLU"LION NO.2693 RELATED TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN THE AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT' AREA. (1521 S. SCOTT ST.) COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2694 RELATED TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN THE AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA. (1520 S. SCOTT ST.) 8 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 included in the current golf course budget. The Lease does include language concerning charges for late payments (paragraph 25). Mr. Inks noted that in the past staff has indicated that city policy does not allow a lease that contains a clause for late fees for late payments. The rationale for allowing the late charges is the waiving of the excess mileage charge for the old van. This charge would have been $2,542.24. The full charge is being waived, and more than offsets the cost of any late charges that may be assessed under the new lease. Upon a motion by Ms. King seconded by Mr Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the van lease for Blackthorn Golf Club subject to final legal review. (5) Consultant's update on Ignition Park. Mr. Inks noted that the Commission requested an update on Ignition Park. Ms. Hathaway gave that report. Ms. Hathaway commended the Commission on understanding the timeliness of creating a position with a focus on Ignition Park. It is not premature. She thanked the Commission for allowing her to be at the center of the most exciting thing happening in South Bend in the forty years she has lived here. She said the community has growing excitement about the possibility Ignition Park presents. Ms. Hathaway broke her presentation down into three parts: where we are, where we need to be and how we might get there. She said the how we might get there is an evolving statement. COMMISSION APPROVED THE VAN LEASE FOR BLACKTHORN GOLF CLUB SUBJECT TO FINAL LEGAL REVEIW CONSULTANT'S UPDATE ON IGNITION PARK 9 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 Where we are. Who would have thought six years ago that Notre Dame and the city could collaborate to the depth that would entice the semiconductor industry to create the fourth site of research development in the country in South Bend? That collaboration is still incredibly strong. Higher education is responding to the needs that MIND and other technologies are going to require. As an example, Ivy Tech has identified atwo-year nanotechnology program that it hopes to institute in fall 2010. They are doing that with collaboration from Notre Dame and Penn State. They will even have access remotely to an atomic microscope on the campus of Penn State. Purdue's Engineering Technology School is moving from atwo- year program to a four-year program; and they are going to institute a Masters program in that field. And, they are embedding with Notre Dame's help nano components within that four-year program. Having eighty acres available as a Certified Technology Park, cleared and environmentally mitigated, is unique among Tech Parks. No one else has that. When the city tears down the remaining two buildings and mitigates its land, it will be able to go back and change that Certified Technology Park designation to 140 acres. But the city is ready today to accommodate anyone who wants to build now. That is an amazing accomplishment. Also, the city did a vibration and electromagnetic study. It showed that with normal setbacks from streets, 40 acres of that 80 acres have a high vibration and electromagnetic mitigation. That is important to anyone wanting to include a "clean room" in its development. That could 10 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 be enormously important in marketing Ignition Park. Ms. Hathaway noted that the city is doing an overlay zone plan in order to protect that low vibration and electromagnetic area. We don't want any of that marketing potential compromised. Ms. Hathaway also stressed the enormous value of the city's metronet to technology development in Ignition Park. That took enormous foresight and collaboration to accomplish. It places South Bend competitive at a level that is unprecedented for a town of South Bend's size. Where do we need to be? Ms. Hathaway has been doing much research and investigation to answer that question. She has attended seminars on technology transfer, commercialization, technology park management, nanotechnology, etc. She's attended conferences for the Association of University Research Parks at the Midwest regional level and at the international level. She has connected with tech park managers and tech park developers from all over the country. Tech parks are not a standard real estate venture. Buildings do not bring tech businesses here. The start-up business needs peripheral resources brought to it as in an incubator. While trying to figure out a new product, they are also trying to figure out how to run a business. They have little money; they work around the clock with few staff. The city may have to supply legal, accounting and business support to these start-up businesses while they focus on getting their product to market. We may need to provide funding assistance. We may need to provide educational programs. Third or fourth stage businesses don't need those kinds of assistance, but South Bend needs to be prepared to offer them to start-up South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 businesses that consider locating here. Technology start-ups need access to interns. She hears that everywhere she goes. Tenants complain about not having enough interns. You'd think a research university would have ample interns available. Plus, the businesses want help writing the job description, help putting the advertisement in the newspaper. How do we get to this point? Visualize four columns, equidistant apart, supported by beams and connected to each of the other columns. You end up with a square of beams, an X through the center, supported by four columns. Those four columns are collaboration, focus, education and funding. Those four things are absolutely crucial to marketing a tech park . Collaboration has to happen in the public sector. The city must streamline its public policy procedures. We must make it seamless for companies to move from Innovation Park to Ignition Park. And we must make it simple to come to our town and end up at Ignition Park. South Bend has to do it because our competition is doing it. We have to have a retail focus. The larger the better. Because everyone is demanding it. Foundation grant review boards are demanding it. Employee search are demanding it. Corporate search are demanding it. The tenants are demanding it. They need it because they understand that the broader the region the greater the support and the greater the potential impact. We need to be thinking broadly here. Some of this is happening. Collaboration is happening. For example, with patent 12 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 requests. Fifteen years ago, a patent had one author. Today there are probably fifteen authors on the patent. And it's interdisciplinary. It's making it more difficult for technology transfer. It used to be if it was a chemistry PhD, he made his application and it was reviewed by a chemistry review person in technology transfer. Today, there may be a chemist and a biologist; there may be a statistician; there may be an information technology person, there may be an astrophysicist---all part of the same discovery. We need that kind of collaboration everywhere. We look at project based New Tech High School. Ms. Hathaway visited the New Tech High School in Columbus. It is interdisciplinary, project based, collaboration. Doesn't that sound like business? What she was really impressed with there was the sense of confidence those students had. And politeness. Two hundred students, freshmen and sophomores, and not one disengaged student. Ms. Hathaway stressed Focus. Karl King and John Roos just completed a report called Benchmarking South Bend. They say, "Our legacy industry mix consists of nationally dying industries." We have to change that. We have to be proactive in identifying what our future strengths are going to be in business. Michiana Tech Connect, which is spearheaded by Project Future, is on the campus of Notre Dame looking at the research happening on campus and trying to ascertain which research initiatives have the greatest chance of commercialization to the ultimate benefit of our region. That is so important. They are now going deeper to look at the processes that are going to be 13 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 necessary to take that from research in the lab to commercialization. Hopefully, some of our local businesses can assist with that. Maybe a company already in South Bend can build a prototype that is needed. We, the community, must start to look at our existing businesses. Research takes a long time to commercialize. Often times it's bio based, which requires FDA approval, which is very costly and very time consuming. There are many innovative ideas that can be commercialized much faster. And they are sitting here in our back yard---our existing businesses. We need a business asset inventory. That is very crucial. We also need to look at information technology businesses. We've been very good at that here and we shouldn't discount them. They don't sound very high tech, but they are. Information technology costs much less to develop, it comes to commercialization much more quickly and it is more sustainable more quickly. We need to be talent scouts, all of us. We also need clusters of similar businesses. Clusters of competitors, but who realize that the value of networking is more important than avoiding competition. Vendors with support services want to be near that cluster. South Bend needs to be building clusters. Education is the third column. Ivy Tech instituted a two year program, at the request of Notre Dame, to educate Notre Dame employees. They thought there might be twenty-five students. One hundred signed up. Those students are graduating this year. Most of them are going on to IUSB for a four-year degree. That's responding to the 14 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 need of business. Purdue is expanding its engineering technology program from two years to four. Education is more than our public school system from K-12. There are a lot of exciting things going on in education that we don't even know exists, is available to us. We need an educational asset inventory also, so when the search person comes to South Bend, we can say, "Look at what the children of your employees can get here." We need to assemble the list. Some research parks are locating tech high schools at their research parks. At risk kids, preparing for some of the lowest jobs at the tech park, but some of them go on to four year colleges. Tech parks are doing entrepreneurship programs for high school students. BizWiz in Fort Wayne mentors high school students so they can develop Internet based businesses and earn money. When they go off to college they can continue that job. The hope is that they will start and continue their business in Indiana. Funding is the fourth column. We've invested $17.4M acquiring and cleaning up Ignition Park. We have committed another $SOM. There will be many, many worthwhile projects for that $SOM. They are not all bricks and mortar. We'll have to provide tax incentives because everybody else does. We are going to have to provide more or different than everyone else does. All localities can't all be providing the same incentives. Any country which has the financial capability is running toward the same beacon: innovation and technology. In 15 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 commercialization, the first phases are the hardest to get funding for: seed and second stage funding. The federal government is providing less funding and state government is attaching requirements for its funds that there be matching funds. Start-up companies can't get matching funds. Corporations aren't investing at that level. Venture capitalists have moved from investing at the seed and second stage to later stages. They want more assurance of success. Communities are responding to this. Ann Arbor is creating its own seed fund. A small town had five banks each contributing a million dollars to match $SM of TIF funds to do a revolving loan fund. We're going to have to figure out how to help the people who want to come to Ignition Park and want to stay in Ignition Park to do that. We're going to have to help with funding. Ms. Hathaway predicted that Ignition Park will be ignited, and it will be sustainable, if we build its structure on regional collaboration, supported by a technically educated work force and funded to assist business focus. South Bend has work to do. But we must not forget that we have lots of advantages over other communities. Mr. Varner asked who some of the regional partners Ms. Hathaway envisions are. Ms. Hathaway responded that she was thinking of nearby counties. Public and private entities over several counties. Southwestern Michigan University collaborating with Ivy Tech. Foundations want to see that a broad scope of entities in a region is collaborating. Companies who consider coming to this area want to know that the support structure for them will be broad. 16 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 Existing local businesses want to be part of this new economy. Ms. Hathaway feels that the initial businesses for Ignition Park may be local businesses. That's why she feels we need a business asset inventory-understand- ing the depth and breadth of our local businesses. What processes do they already do that might be an outsource for an upstart company. We need to do that for all industries that we think have the potential for contributing to innovation and technology. Mr. Downes asked what the Commission's next immediate steps should be, in the next four to six months. Ms. Hathaway said she is going to meet with someone soon who builds, owns and manages technology sites. Would they be interested in doing something here. If not, why not? Ms. Hathaway invited the Commissioners to meet with her individually or in pairs to discuss any of her ideas further. (6) Ratification of Lease for office space in Innovation Park @ Notre Dame (Hathaway2) Mr. Inks noted that it took our legal department awhile to work through the lease arrangements for Ms. Hathaway to have an office at Innovation Park. This was called for in the contract with Hathaway2, Inc. The budget for it was $9,000. The lease is within the budget. Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission ratified the Lease for office space in Innovation Park @ Notre Dame (Hathaway2) COMMISSION RATIFIED THE LEASE FOR OFFICE SPACE IN INNOVATION PARK C~ NOTRE DAME (HATHAWAY2~ 17 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -June 4, 2010 (7) Staff report on contract with Abonmarche Group for Airport Economic Development Area legal description and mapping. Mr. Relos noted that the Commission hired Abonmarche to clarify the Airport Economic Development Area legal description and to write a continuous description. The original contract was for $4,400. It was later raised by $3,500 to cover additional work. While trying to add the legal to resolutions that add properties to the acquisition list, more problems became apparent, so their fee rose another $3,815.75. Staff requests approving the additional expense. The total cost for rewriting the legal description and displaying the legal onto maps is $11,715.75. Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the total contract with Abonmarche for rewriting the legal description of the Airport Economic Development Area at a cost of $11,725.75. C. West Washington-Chapin Development Area (1) South Bend Heritage Foundation update on Engman Natatorium Mr. Inks asked that item 6.C.(1) be tabled until the June 18 meeting. Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the Commission tabled item 6.C.(1) D. South Side Development Area (1) Resolution No. 2691 related to acquisition of property in the South Side Development COMMISSION APPROVED THE TOTAL CONTRACT WITH ABONMARCHE FOR REWRITING THE LEGAI.

(748 Hawbaker Street) Mr. Relos noted that Resolution No. 2691 sets the appraised acquisition value for 748 Hawbaker Street at $32,000. The property is located at the corner of Hawbaker and High and was left on the recently amended acquisition list as there is value in the property for future infrastructure improvements in the Erskine Plaza area. A map of the parcel is attached. The property was appraised by two independent residential appraisers. The property consists of one unoccupied house and property. Staff has had several conversations with the property owner about acquisition and staff determined that to move the process along it was necessary to set the appraised value through the standard resolution process. Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2691 related to acquisition of property in the South Side Development Area.
