Ms. Greene noted that disposition of property is governed by I.C. 36- 7- 14 -22. Under this section of the Code, the Commission is required to obtain two independent appraisals of the value of the property for sale or lease. The appraisals must take into consideration the size, location and physical condition of the property and all other factors effecting value.

After publishing notice consistent with the requirements of I.C. 5 -3 -1, the Commission may reject any bids received and may make an award to the highest bidder. In determining the best bid, the Commission must consider the following: (1) The size and character of the improvements proposed to be made by the bidder on the real property bid on; (2) The bidder's plans and ability to IL 14 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — March 4, 2005 6.

Ms. Greene answered that the Commission has met its legal obligation related to the sale of property by offering the property through the public bidding process. For a period of thirty (30) days after bids are opened, the Commission is prohibited from entering into a contract to sell the property under a negotiated sale. However, if directed by the Commission, negotiations can occur during the thirty (30) day time period with anybody, including those entities or persons who submitted bids during the bidding process as well as anyone else who did not submit a bid. 15 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — March 4, 2005 6.
