Eddie Miller Mr. Varner noted that Ms. King is expected for the meeting, but has not arrived to create a quorum. He suggested moving Progress Reports up on the agenda and taking Ms. Stewart's presentation on Unity Gardens at this time. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 7. PROGRESS REPORTS Ms. Stewart made a presentation about the progress of STATUS REPORT ON UNITY GARDENS Unity Gardens since its beginning in 2008. She noted that the vision for Unity Gardens has always been to provide the community with an abundance of healthy fresh food and produce. There were forty -two gardens this year. The vision has expanded now to be "improve community health." Ms. Stewart noted that Unity Gardens' educational program has grown a great deal. It's one thing to make vegetables accessible to everyone, but it's another to teach people where their food comes from. Many people, especially children, don't know. Our goals have always been to ensure healthy vegetables are accessible to everyone, and that everyone has the opportunity to grow. But equally important is education: teaching people how to prepare the food once it's harvested. You hand someone some of this stuff from the garden and they have no idea what to do with it to make it edible. Ms. Steward noted that more importantly, they build community through gardens, providing safe gathering areas that make our neighborhoods grow again. Through the gardens and through education, we're learning to trust each other more and fear less. Homeless and poor people are working side by side with the wealthy and with service groups, shedding their normal social roles and mentoring one another. Therefore, our motto has become "we're growing more than vegetables here." Unity Gardens' role: • Garden planning • Year -round classes • Fund raising for the gardens • Securing land • Provide an extra layer of liability insurance • Assist with infrastructure — we've learned the benefits of raised beds, picnic tables, benches that encourage community. 2 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 • Raising awareness. We post on Facebook about four times a day and get about 111,000 views a month. • Getting schools involved in growing gardens. We're teaching healthy habits from early childhood. The joy of a vegetable in these kids is just amazing and it makes you more tenacious in teaching it because they really don't understand. Mr. Inks noted that Unity Gardens would like a ten -year lease for the LaSalle Square property, recognizing that development on the property would supersede the lease. Mr. Varner asked if the request is in writing. Mr. Inks responded that we have no request at this time, although we do have letters of support from the Lincolnway West Gateway Association and the LaSalle Square Steering Committee. Ms. King joined the meeting during the presentation. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. Approval of Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Tuesday, September 16, 2011.

Ms. King asked whether this is a trial to see if there is community interest. Mr. Duncan believes that the Notre Dame apparel will do very well. He has a contract with another local company that makes the apparel. He has some concern about the Hall of Fame leaving and what that may do to the business, but he saw this as a great opportunity to give this a try. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved lease with Carl Duncan for 121 S. Michigan Street. (3) Proposal for roof repair of 325 S. Lafayette Blvd. (Shillings Building). Ms. Jennings noted that the Schillings Building, 325 S. Lafayette Street is in need of roof repair.

South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 obtained: AMR Roofing for $3,985 and Tri M Construction for $4,500. Staff recommends accepting the proposal from AMR Roofing. Mr. Downes asked whether there has been any interest in that building. Mr. Inks replied that there have been temporary users of the building, but no one interested in permanent use. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission accepted the proposal from AMR Roofing for the scope of services and fee proposed. (4) Resolution No. 2955 a Supplemental Bond Resolution supplementing and amending Resolution No. 2012, adopted on October 17, 2003, all for the purpose of authorizing the modification of certain contractual rights, the execution and delivery of its City of South Bend, Indiana, Redevelopment District Amended Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 (South Bend Central Development Area), and regarding certain related matters. Mr. Inks noted that this resolution authorizes the refunding of a bond that was issued in 2003. There's a better interest rate available today and savings to be had on the current bond. Mr. Rompola explained both the South Bend Central and Airport Economic Development Area bonds. He noted that both bonds, when issued, were issued to the Indiana Bond Bank and then the Indiana Bond Bank in turn sold one large bond issue to account for those two smaller bond issues. The reason that was 10 COMMISSION ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL FROM AMR ROOFING FOR THE SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE PROPOSED South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 done some years ago was to get a better interest rate for the city. Therefore, what is proposed is to refund the bond bank bonds, not the city bonds. The bond bank will have a savings at their level and they will pay the savings back to the redevelopment district so that for the South Bend Central Development Area Bond, the savings is estimated at $500,000. The Airport Bond savings is estimated at $294,000. To get that savings, the city would give up its rights to redeem the bonds early. Mr. Varner asked if the savings would be an annual payment. Mr. Rompola replied that it is a one -time lump sum payment. The bonds are expected to close in December. The city will get the money at closing from the bond bank. The cash will be divided for the two respective TIF districts. Ms. King asked what the terms of the existing bonds are. Mr. Rompola believes they are for eight and eleven more years, respectively. Ms. King wondered if the city would not be refunding these if the bond bank was not involved. Mr. Rompola said if the bonds were the city's outright, the city would be refunding them for the savings also. Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Ms. King and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2955 a Supplemental Bond Resolution supplementing and amending Resolution No. 2012, adopted on October 17, 2003, all for the purpose of authorizing the modification of certain contractual rights, the execution and delivery of its City of South Bend, Indiana, Redevelopment District Amended Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 11 COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 2955 A SUPPLEMENTAL BOND RESOLUTION SUPPLEMENTING AND AMENDING RESOLUTION No. 2012, ADOPTED ON OCTOBER 17, 2003, ALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF AUTHORIZING THE MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS, THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ITS CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDED TAX INCREMENT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2003 (SOUTH BEND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREA), AND REGARDING CERTAIN RELATED MATTERS. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 (South Bend Central Development Area), and regarding certain related matters. D. Airport Economic Development Area (1) Staff report on Ignition Park South expansion. Mr. Relos noted that the Commission authorized acquisition of 150 parcels in the Ignition Park South expansion area. Of those 150 parcels, 21 were already owned by the city, 20 were acquired at the March 2010 tax sale, and seven were railroad owned. Mr. Relos reviewed a map of the Ignition Park South expansion area showing the current status of those parcels. As of today, 103 parcels are under city control, 29 are in a negotiating status, one was recently purchased at the September 2011 tax sale, and 10 have either stated they do not want to sell, or are in some other status with the department. For comparison purposes, as of the last update to the Commission 14 months ago, 66 parcels were under City ownership. Mr. Relos noted that, to date, total acquisition and relocation costs have been $2,193,965, compared to $3,999,500 that had been budgeted for these parcels (a $1,805,535 savings or 45% under budget). Though much work remains, staff wishes to thank the Commission for the approvals necessary to carry out this project. It will expand Ignition Park by an additional 23 acres, and help stabilize the Rum Village neighborhood to the immediate south of this planning area. Ms. King asked how many properties that are 12 STAFF REPORT ON IGNITION PARK SOUTH EXPANSION South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — November 8, 2011 under city control have been demolished. Mr. Relos responded that about half of them have been demolished. (2) Proposal for professional services related to installation of dedication plaque at the James Oliver sculpture. Mr. Sikora noted that the final element to complete the James Oliver Memorial Plaza project is to have a plaque installed to identify and recognize the sculptor of the James Oliver sculpture. The plaque was part of the city's contractual obligations in commissioning the sculpture. This professional service proposal will allow Danch, Hamer & Associates, the project designer, to coordinate the design, fabrication and installation of the dedication plaque. South Bend Monuments has helped with initial pricing of the plaque and the total projected cost of the entire process is $1,200. Staff requests approval of a not -to- exceed budget of $1,500 to cover any unforeseen expenses that might arise during the design, fabrication and installation process.

When the budget needs to be amended based on the acquisition process, staff will present an update and a supplemental budget request. Mr. Sikora noted that questions had been raised about this Addendum to the Agency Agreement and staff is now requesting Resolution No. 2954 be tabled.
