Mr. Inks noted that Resolution No. 2754
approves an additional appropriation in the
amount of S 1,400,000 for the South Side
Development Area Allocation Area No. 1.
The budget that staff prepared and the
Commission approved for 2010 early in the
year did not assume tax revenue from 2009
pay 2010 would be received in 2010 because
it has not been timely in recent years.
However, the first tax payment has been
received on time and the funds need to be
allocated. The funds «~ill be used for
ongoing projects in the development area as
well as projects staff had in its list to address
in the futw-e.

pickling, shearing, temper rolling, and cold
reducing. Steel Warehouse also supplies
profiling parts through its plasma and laser
cutting operations. In connection with its
operations, the company takes substantial
positions in steel and steel products for the
future sale and marketing of the same to its
customers.
This abatement request for personal property
at 2722 W. Tucker involves the acquisition
of equipment for manufacturing, servicing,
processing and material handling of steel and
steel products, having a total cost expected to
be fi•om ~ 1,000,000 to 52,500,000. The
acquisition will enable the company to add
capacity to and to modernize its existing
manufacturing equipment and facilities at
this location.
Total taxes to be abated during the five-year
abatement period are estimated to be between
56,445 and 516,1 13. Total taxes to be paid
during the five-year abatement period are
estimated to be between 567,999 and
$169,997.
Ms. Hahn noted that the project is expected
to create four to seven new permanent full-
time jobs at the Tucker location representing
a new annual payroll of 5134,500 to
5232,600. The project is also expected to
retain a total of four full-time jobs,
representing an annual payroll of ~,133,120.

B. Tax Abatement
(I) continued...
Steel Warehouse has had twenty-four real
and personal property tax abatements since
1984. Those that are still active are in
compliance with reporting requirements.
The property is properly zoned for the
proposed use. The property is located in the
Airport Economic Development Area, a tax
increment allocation area. Therefore, the
petition for personal property tax abatement
must first be approved by the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission. The project
qualifies for five years of personal property
tax deduction under the tax abatement
ordinance.
Mr. Lerman noted that the new equipment
will replace equipment that is undersized for
the jobs it was installed for years ago. This
will give Steel Warehouse another edge in
the market The equipment will cost between
$700,000 - $800,000, plus other equipment
that comes with it that will bring the cost to
over a million dollars. Over a period of five
years he expects there will be additional
equipment needed for the same operation that
will increase the cost to over two million
dollars. Mr. Lerman noted that the estimate
of the number of jobs is based on the addition
of one shift to cun-ent operations. There may
be as many as three shifts added. If Steel
Warehouse is successful at reaching the
intended markets the number of jobs will be
at least seven new jobs. To protect the
markets Steel Warehouse has, they have to
continue to invest and maintain state of the
art equipment Thaf s what they hope to do

(4) Resolution No. 2762 related to acquisition
of property in the Airport Economic
Development Area. (527-529 W. Indiana
Ave.)
Mr. Relos noted that 527-529 W. Indiana is a
duplex. At the time the appraisals were
done, only one unit was occupied.
Consequently, the acquisition offering price
established by Resolution No. 2762 for 527-
529 W. Indiana Ave is $30,500.
Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by
Mr. Downes and unanimously car-ied, the

related to acquisition of property in the
Airport Economic Development Area. (527-
529 W. Indiana Ave.)
(5) Administrative Settlement for acquisition
of 527-529 W. Indiana Ave.
Mr. Relos noted that according to the
Uniform Relocation Act (Act), which has
been adopted as the Commission's relocation
policy, an administrative settlement is
authorized in cases where an additional
payment is necessary to acquire a property.
Before the Commission today was
Resolution No. 2762, setting the offering
price for this property at X30.500, which is
the average appraised value. Because the
second unit of this property was not currently
rented, an income value approach was not
fully utilized.

annual net income it could generate, the
capitalization rate method commonly used by
local financial institutions on income
producing properties arrives at a value for
this property at $50,000 - $52,000.
Recent updates to this property include a new
roof 3 years ago, new furnace 2 years ago,
and separate 100 amp electrical service for
both units. It is one of the nicer looking
properties along that stretch of Indiana.
The property owner has counter offered at
$50,000. In light of the recent improvements
to this duplex, its overall good condition, and
the above capitalization rate valuation, Staff
feels the property owner's counter offer of
$50,000 is reasonable, and requests
Commission approval of this Administrative
Settlement to allow for the acquisition of this
property.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by
Ms. King and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Administrative

with the property owner, within the
acquisition and relocation sections of the Act,
to reasonably reach an agreement to acquire
this property.
The property owner has expressed his
interest in selling this property, but he is not
interested in being relocated under the terns
of the Act. Since he lives alone, he instead
wants to search for a house that is in need of
repairs. He can then get a house for a decent
price and fix it up himself, as he has with this
property.
Following the Act, total estimated acquisition
and relocation costs associated with this
property would be X43,200. The property
owner has stated he would take $35,000, of
which approximately $10,000 would go to
pay off the land contract balance owing. In
addition, we would pay his fixed moving
expense of $1,700, for a total payment of
X36,700.
Stafffeels the total acquisition cost of
X36,700 is reasonable for this property, in
light of its size, condition. and amenities, and
requests Commission approval of the
Administrative Settlement.
Ms. Jones said she wanted to make sure the
o~~ner here couldn't come back later and
demand he be allowed to follow the Act. She
wanted him to sign off in some way. Mr.
Relos said that could be handled in the

DLZ has submitted a proposal to create a
roadway and right-of--way acquisition plan
for this roadway segment. The total cost is
$190,500. Resolution No. 2771 approves an
Addendum to the Master Agency Ag1•eement
with the Board of Public Works so they will
contract with DLZ and oversee the work.
Survey work will be done yet this year and
plans and guidelines will be developed over
the winter and the right-of-way planning
should be complete by spring to allow for
acquisition. It is not anticipated that the
roadway will be constructed until it is
needed.
Mr. Varner asked if the road extension
wouldn"t be outside the city limits. Mr.
Relos responded that it would, but the law
allows TIF funds to be spent for projects that
are "in or serve -the development area.
Mr. Alford asked when Olive would be
complete between Lincolnway and Nimtz.
Mr. Relos responded that the right-of--way is
being purchased now. Staff has acquired all
of the right-of=«~ay from the property o«~ners
who had affected buildings.
Ms. Spivey asked where she could find the
specific portion of the TIF legislation that
allows money to be spent outside the area.
Mr. Meteiver responded that he would supply
her with that.

(13) Reimbursement to Transpo for expanded
sidewalk costs.
Mr. Relos noted that as Transpo was
designing its new facility at Indiana and
Lafayette, city staff had discussions with
Transpo about project design. It has been
envisioned that the perimeter of Ignition Park
would have nice green space, plenty of tree
lawn, and an eight-foot sidewalk around the
park that would serve both pedestrians and
bicyclists. City standards require afour-foot
sidewalk. That's all Transpo would have had
to put in. Transpo wanted afive-foot
sidewalk, but decided to put in the eight-foot
one so that it would tie in with the eight-foot
one the city would build on the remainder of
Ignition Park. Transpo is now asking the city
to participate in the cost difference between
the five-foot and eight-foot walks, a
difference of $15,143. That seems to be a
great price for two blocks of eight-foot
sidewalk.
Upon a motion by Mr. Downes. seconded by
Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved reimbursement to
Transpo for $15,143 for expanded sidewalk
costs.

(1) Resolution No. 2769 approving and

Detention Pond Reconstruction -
Construction Project)
Mr. Relos noted that the construction project
for the pond would rebuild the existing two
ponds located on the north side of Erskine
Plaza to help alleviate downstream flooding
overflowing into the sewer system. The
centerpiece of this project is to finish the
sidewalk on the west side of Miami from
h-eland to Boland Dr. Bids have been
received, but there were in•egularities in the
paperwork of the low bid, so the award will
likely go to the second lowest bid. Adding
some contingencies, the total project cost will

Ms. King asked whose responsibility is the
maintenance of the parking lot at Erskine
Plaza: the city's or the business owners'?
Mr. Inks responded that unless there is a
public street running through it, with public
right-of--way, it would be private property
with private maintenance.
Ms. King noted that many older people with
little carts walk in the street (Bowen St.)
which runs fi•om Martins to Miami. They
walk fi•om Fairington Apartments, the
subsidized housing across Miami. It's a very
busy intersection there with cars turning to
enter McDonalds, Arbys, the bank and
Martins and Menards. There's no sidewalk
ti•om Martins east to Miami. It•s very
dangerous. She asked that someone look into
the situation and what can be done about it.
Mr. Inks noted that the plan for Ireland Road
was to have sidewalks throughout the area.
He will talk to Bill Schalliol about the plan.
