RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
DETERMINING TAX INCREMENT NEEDED TO SATISFY
OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMMISSION
REGARDING THE WEST WASHINGTON - CHAPIN ALLOCATION AREA
(WEST WASHINGTON - CHAPIN ALLOCATION AREA NO. IA)
WHEREAS, on October 23, 1987, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the
"Commission ") adopted its Resolution No. 818 (the "Declaratory Resolution ") declaring that
an area designated by the Commission as the West Washington - Chapin Development Area
(the "Area ") in the Redevelopment District of the City of South Bend, Indiana, is a "blighted
area" within the meaning of the Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, I.C.
36 -7 -14, as amended (the "Act "); and
WHEREAS, on December 11, 1987, after notice of the public hearing thereon and
after obtaining all other approvals required by law, the Commission in its Resolution No. 824
confirmed the Declaratory Resolution by the adoption of a Confirmatory Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has previously established
the West Washington - Chapin Allocation Area (West Washington - Chapin Allocation Area No.
1A) which has boundaries conterminous with the Area; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has previously established
the West Washington - Chapin Allocation Area (West Washington - Chapin Area No. 1A)
Allocation Fund (the "Allocation Fund "); and
WHEREAS, 50 IAC 8 contains rules adopted by the Indiana State Board of Tax
Commissioners concerning tax increment finance (the "Regulations "); and
WHEREAS, Section 39 of the Act and 50 IAC 8 -2 -4 require the Commission to
determine before July 15, 1994, whether the sum of the balance in the Allocation Fund plus
estimated future investment earnings on that balance is sufficient to satisfy obligations of the
Commission over the terms of those obligations, and whether the capture of only a portion of
the potential captured assessment (as defined in the Regulations) will result in a balance in the
Allocation Fund in 1995 that, when combined with future investment earnings on that balance
and the resultant tax increment to be collected in 1995, will be sufficient to satisfy the
obligations of the Commission over the terms of those obligations.
WHEREAS, while the Commission has no obligations payable out of the sum of the
balance in the Allocation Fund plus estimated future investment earnings on that balance, the
sum of the balance in the Allocation Fund plus estimated future investment earnings on that
balance is not sufficient for the purposes for which such sum is being utilized by the
Commission pursuant to Section 39(b)(2) of the Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission as follows:
1. The Commission hereby determines that the sum of the current balance in the
Allocation Fund plus estimated future investment earnings on that balance is not sufficient to
meet the uses by the Commission of such sum pursuant to Section 39(b)(2) of the Act.
2. The Commission further determines that the capture of only a portion of the
potential captured assessment in 1995 will result in a balance in the Allocation Fund in 1995
that, when combined with future investment earnings on that balance and the resultant tax
increment to be collected in 1995, will not be sufficient to satisfy the obligations of the
Commission of such sum pursuant to Section 39(b)(2) of the Act, and that therefore all of the
potential captured assessment for the Allocation Area in 1995 shall be treated as captured
assessment (as defined in the Regulations). In making this determination, the Commission
has considered the effect that the determination will have on the property tax rate in the
Redevelopment District.
3. Any one of the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Commission is
hereby authorized and directed to immediately notify the St. Joseph County Auditor of the
determination made herein by the Commission.
Adopted at a meeting of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission held on July 1,
1994, at 1308 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana
46601.
