Mr. Schalliol gave the staff report on the
project. Mark and Ruth Noll intend to
construct a new two-story residential
dwe lung o f 2, 3 60 square feet with
approximately eight rooms, atwo-car garage
and a half finished basement. The home will
be constructed on a vacant lot as part of the
Northeast Neighborhood Redevelopment
Project. The estimated cost of the project
will be $350,000.
The Nolls have not received any previous tax
abatements. The property is properly zoned
for the project. The property is in the
Northeast Neighborhood Development Area,
a Tax Incremental Allocation Area; therefore
the abatement must be approved by the
Redevelopment Commission. The project
qualifies for afive-year residential tax
abatement under the tax abatement
ordinance.
Assuming a constant tax rate, the cost of the
abatement over five years is as follows:

Over 5 Yrs
Without Abatement $36,935

(1) Commission approval requested for
Proposal for Expansion of Gameday
Project.
Mr. Peterson noted that Gameday Centers
has just presented a new terms sheet for its
project at the northwest corner of St. Joseph
St. and Jefferson Blvd. The letter of request
from Gameday states:
We have received such a positive response to
our College Football Hall of Fame Gameday
project that we desire to expand the project
to accommodate approximately 196 units.
Our revised site plan currently proposes to
build afifteen-story structure that will
contain a parking facility having
approximately X04 parking spaces and
ground retail of 8, 650 square feet. This
expansion would require that we expand
slightly into DeRue Ct. Furthe, r it will
require that our entire our entire footprint be
used to build the proposed facility;
consequently, we ask for the following
conditions: (1) construction access between

the Hall of Fame and Gameday sidewalk;
(2) access to DeRue Ct.; (3) access to a lane
or two of St. Joseph St. and Jefferson Blvd.
(subject to approval by the Redevelopment
Authority, Board of Public Works, and the
Indiana Department of Transportation);
(4) items related to the sewer easement the
city has on the property; (5) amending the
Development Agreement and Contract to
Purchase to provide for an expanded
timeline for the project.
Mr. Peterson noted that staff expects to close
on the property in early 2007. Construction
is anticipated to start in spring 2007 with a
twenty-four month construction period. The
site will be expanded twenty-two feet to the
north. Gameday will provide twelve parking
spaces to the Hall of Fame (with validation
for seven years) to replace the surface lot
spaces that will be lost to the Hall of Fame.
Gameday will construct the plaza between
the Hall of Fame and its project. They have
relocated their hotel entrance to be facing the
Hall of Fame to provide further synergy for
the two projects. Gameday will be providing
landscaping and curbing all around the
project that is consistent with the project and
the quality of the downtown. Staff
recommends approving the revision to allow
this great project to expand.
Mr. King asked if INDOT's involvement is
due to the request to use St. Joseph St. ? Mr.
Peterson responded that is correct.

Mr. Peterson also noted that the Board of
Public Works is proposing to allow for some
parallel parking along St. Joseph St. in front
of the project.
Mr. Hojnacki asked if the entire west lane
would be reserved for parallel parking, all the
way down to where the School Corporation
is? Mr. Peterson responded that it would.
When Gameday reconstructs the curbs, they
will construct them so it looks like it's
intended for parallel parking. Currently, that
is a deceleration lane for the parking garage,
but the Gameday parking garage will have an
entrance off of Jefferson Blvd., so a
deceleration lane between the School
Corporation and Washington St. will not be
needed.
Mr. Downes indicated that he will abstain
from voting on this item in order to prevent
the appearance of a conflict of interest
because his name is on the reservation list for
the new hotel.
Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by
Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the terms and
conditions set forth in the letter from
Gameday Centers related to its project at the
northwest corner of St. Joseph St. and
Jefferson Blvd. Mr. Downes abstained from
the vote.

C. Sample-Ewing Development Area
(1) Commission approval requested for
Contract of Purchase and Sale with
Norfolk Southern Corporation for the
seven-acre former rail yard located within
Studebaker Area A in the Sample-Ewing
Development Area.
Mr. Laurent noted that this item relates to the
former Studebaker Rail Yard that was part of
the South Bend Stamping plant. On July 1 1,
2005 the Commission approved a counter
offer from Norfolk Southern Corporation in
the amount of $115,000. That approval was
contingent upon drafting an equitable
purchase contract. After thirteen months of
negotiation, that document has been
completed. The document retains the
purchase price of $115,000. The
Commission would pay $10,000 in earnest
money after which the Commission will have
thirty days to conduct title examination and
furnish Norfolk Southern with any
objections. The Commission shall then have
90 days to conduct environmental testing at
the property and provide a written statement
of any environmental concerns found that
impact the property. At the end of the 90
days both sides have the ability to either
waive any objections they have and close the
transaction or renegotiate the sale terms and
purchase price, or terminate the agreement
and walk away. Mr. Laurent stated that this
is the best deal we could negotiate with
Norfolk Southern and staff recommends
approval.
Mr. Peterson noted that legal counsel has not
had an opportunity to review the Contract of

Purchase and Sale, so would like the
Commission to approve it contingent upon
legal review.
Upon a motion by Mr. Hojnacki, seconded
by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Contract of
Purchase and Sale with Norfolk Southern
Corporation for the seven-acre former rail
yard located within Studebaker Area A,
subject to review by legal counsel.
(2) Commission approval requested for
professional services in the Sample-Ewing
Development Area. (ALTA Land Title
and Topographic Survey, Norfolk
Southern Rail Yard)
Mr. Laurent noted that staff solicited
proposals from Wightman Petrie, Inc. and
Danch Harner and Associates to conduct a
Land Title Survey and a Topographic Survey
of the Norfolk Southern Rail Yard. The
Commission must provide this survey before
the transaction with Norfolk Southern is
closed. Danch Harner's proposal ranges
from $6,225 to $6,725. ~Uightman Petrie's
proposal is for a fee not to exceed $5,900.
Staff recommends accepting the proposal
from Wightman Petrie.

(3) Staff report on acquisition of property in
the Sample-Ewing Development Area.
Ms. Kolata noted that staff has been trying to
purchase the former South Bend Lathe
building for some time. The property is
currently tax delinquent and on the tax sale
list. The total property tax and penalties is
$341,261.31. Staff requests authorization to
bid on the two parcels at the tax sale for a
price up to $440,000. The starting bid would
have to be $341,261.31. The higher amount
would allow staff to attempt to outbid
another bidder.
Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by
Mr. Hojnacki and unanimously carried, the
Commission authorized staff to bid on the
former South Bend Lathe property at the tax
sale for an amount not to exceed $440,000
and authorized release of a check up to that
amount.

purchaser must purchase the entire site,
including the building. The required use for
the parcel is such industrial uses as

(2) Staff report on Capital Improvements in
the Blackthorn Golf Course.
Mr. Inks noted that at a previous meeting the
Commission entertained a request for bunker
renovations for Blackthorn Golf Course. The
instruction to staff coming out of that
meeting was to review the capital plans for
the golf course and come up with a proposal
to finance the capital improvements from the
operating revenue of the golf course.
Staff has put together schedules which meet
those requirements and have provided them
to the Commissioners prior to this meeting.
Rick Reid and John Quickstad of Blackthorn
Golf Course have put together a Capital Plan
covering the years 2006 through 2020. It
includes course improvements, equipment
needed to maintain the course, clubhouse
improvements, and equipment needed to
sustain the operations in the clubhouse. Staff
believes it is a very comprehensive list of

RELATED TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN THE
AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA
13
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting -September 15, 2006

capital needs over that period of time.
In addition, Mr. Reid and Mr. Quickstad
have put together a pro forma ten-year
operating budget covering three historical
years, from 2003 through 2005, and
projections for 2006 through 2012. The pro
forma includes revenues from the course,
expenses related to course operations, and a
net income line. It also includes an annual
sinking fund. The purpose of the sinking
fund is to be a reserve to deal with
emergency administrative and capital needs.
The target level of the sinking fund when it is
fully funded will be 15% of annual operating
revenues. It is being funded over a period of
time, contributing 2-1/2% of operating
revenue each year until 2012. There is a line
for net cash flow after the sinking fund
contributions each year. That line indicates
what funds are available for annual capital
projects. Then, there is a line for capital
projects that flows right out of the capital
plan. Mr. Inks pointed out that in 2006 and
2007 there are some large negative numbers.
The planned capital needs for 2006 and 2007
would generate negative cash flows, but there
is a capital reserve that has been built up
from 2003 to 2005. Over that period the golf
course generated net profits of $651,000.
That includes subtracting out capital that was
spent from golf course revenues, both golf
course capital as well as TIF capital. So, it is
a true net profit from operations after capital
expenditures for the period 2003-2005. The
recommendation today is to take $250,000 of
14
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting -September 15, 2006
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
D. Airport Economic Development Area
continue ...
that net profit of $651,000 and apply that to
the first portion of the bunker renovations
and to fund the balance of the bunker
renovations from future profits from the golf
course. The total bunker renovations are
expected to be about $450,000, so about
$200,000 of future profits will be needed to
fund the balance of the bunker
improvements. Staff also recommends the
Commission authorize the Board of Public
Works to bid and award up to $450,000 for
the bunker renovations. This will still mean
that there may still be some short delays in
meeting some of the capital needs because
even with the $250,000 from prior years'
profits there will be some shortfall in 2006
and 2007. By the end of 2008 everything
will even out and all capital needs will have
been met based on the capital plan submitted
and there should be a small reserve of about
$25,000.
Mr. Peterson asked, related to the Board of
Public Works bidding and awarding the
project, whether the bids would include a
base bid with alternate options, because the
entire $450,000 wouldn't be available until
later years. Mr. Inks responded that that was
correct. What we will do at the staff level is
work with the BPW to make sure that the
cash is there at the golf course for whatever
bids are awarded. If we need to split it into
to contracts over two years, we'll do that. Or
if there's a way to bid it out as alternates, and
structure it so we can do it as one contract,
we will do that. But the basic concept is
15
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting -September 15, 2006
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
D. Airport Economic Development Area
continue ...
$250,000 will come from prior years' profits;
the balance will be funded from future profits
from the golf course.
Mr. King commended the staff for their good
work. The capital plan is terrific,
comprehensive and businesslike. He
recognized the amount of work it took to put
it together. It's ideal for the Commission's
oversight of the golf course and he hoped it
proves to be a good management tool for the
golf course staff.
Mr. King asked what will happen when the
sinking fund balance reaches 15% of the
operating revenue? Would the annual
contribution be reduced below 2-1 /2%? Or
would any excess balance over the 15%
become available for capital projects for the
golf course? Mr. Inks responded that staff
would recommend it be available for capital
improvements.
Ms. Jones agreed with Mr. King on his
commendation of staff for their efforts and
noted that the Blackthorn staff must feel
much better about their control of the
operation going forward. It's a great model
that should be used for other public projects.
Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by COMMISSION AUTHORIZED BLACKTHORN GOLF

documents presented.
(3) Staff report on disposition of property in
the Airport Economic Development Area.
Mr. Peterson noted that the Development
Agreement for the Blackthorn Hotel contains
a date by which the sale of land must close.
He informed the Commission that the
developer has experienced some delays in
getting financing for the project. Mr.
Peterson requested authorization to close the
transaction when the financing is complete.
Upon a motion by Mr. King, seconded by
Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the
Commission authorized staff to extend the
date specified in the Development
Agreement for closing on the sale of land and
authorized staff to proceed to closing when
financing arrangements are complete.

Mr. Laurent reported that all of the Stamping Plant
buildings will be down by September 22. The contract
gives the contractor until July 2007, but they are well
ahead of schedule. The structures are down, but they
have not removed anything below ground yet.
