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.

7. PROGRESS REPORTS (CONT.)
• 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.

Mr. Downes asked Mr. Duncan if he had any
prior experience in retail. Mr. Duncan
replied that he and his partner own The Old
Bag Factory in Goshen, Indiana. He also
operates the Two Men And A Truck
franchise in Osceola, Indiana.
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.

(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
done some years ago was to get a better
interest rate for the city. Therefore, what is
11
South Bend Redevelopment Commission
Regular Meeting—November 8, 2011
6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.)
C. South Bend Central Development Area

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.

(1) Staff report on Ignition Park South
expansion.
Mr. Relos noted that the Commission STAFF REPORT ON IGNITION PARK SOUTH
authorized acquisition of 150 parcels in the EXPANSION
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).

Ms. King asked how many properties that are
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, Harner& 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.
