A. 2019 Redevelopment Budget Presentation
Mr. Mueller presented the 2019 Redevelopment budget to the Commission. The
PowerPoint presentation is posted online under the October 11, 2018 meeting
packet.
Mr. Mueller explained each fund that is drawn from the Community Investment
budget and how much has been spent on each TIF area through this year and the
projections for 2019/2020. In 2020 the debt service exemption from the state
property tax goes away, and we do see a loss between 10% to 12%, which hits our
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — October 11, 2018
general fund also, including parks and schools. The River East area is expected to
increase due to revenue from Eddy Street Phase II.
Mr. Mueller highlighted some of the projects in 2019, including a commitment to
Public Works for the North Station Filtration Plant that will deflect the cost of raising
rates as high. The Western Streetscape project will continue between Falcon to
Dundee. We are studying the SE Master Plan for a TIF realignment. There is an
80/20 match for the Coal Line Trail project in 2021, which we will appropriate funds
for out of next year's budget. We are looking at public housing for the Sherman -
Harrison area with City acquired properties. Construction on the entrance to the
City Cemetery is planned for 2020.
Mr. Mueller highlighted the projects coming out of Fund 433 (Pokagon Agreement)
with a minimum of One Million Dollars, which are based around poverty and
education in South Bend. The Lifelong Learning initiative is a $5.5 Million
opportunity (Phase II) with Google and Walmart each providing $1 Million in funds.
The Bloomberg Mayor's Challenge Grant is addressing the Last Mile to Work
Program. We were awarded $100,000 over the summer. During the pilot study we
learned that by alleviating that last mile to work, employee attendance,
performance and retention went up. We are also a potential finalist for a $5 Million
dollar grant from this program. We are looking into a small business microloan pilot
with CDBG funds.
Mr. Mueller presented 2019 goals for Community Investment. We are looking to
move toward a one-stop shop for development/land use, as well as centralized City
licensing. This will continue to help developers get everything they need in one
office instead of running around searching. This includes incentives such as tax
abatements and working with our Business Development team that can consult
with our other teams on projects easily, such as Planning or Zoning. The priority of
this budget is neighborhoods and working with the Civil City. We are looking at
residential housing, duplexes and missing middle housing. The State has
designated up to 25% of their census tracts to Opportunity Zones as part of Federal
Tax legislation. Our zone starts in Ignition Park and goes to Innovation Park,
including Ivy Tech and Downtown, which will build on the Regional Cities initiatives.

Mr. Gammage presented the Development Agreement for REW, LLC. REW is
developing and leasing to Shambaugh & Son the property located at 5870
Carbonmill Drive, just north of the intersection of Cleveland and Brick Roads and
Dylan Drive. The project will include no less than $1,956,400 in private
investment.
This project will combine and relocate two Shambaugh locations and retain and
relocate 86 jobs to the City of South Bend. Further, the company intends to create
at least 25 new, permanent full-time jobs within the next 3 years.
In order to enable the completion of this meaningful investment and job creation in
the City of South Bend the developer is asking for a $75,000 contribution to make
the project possible. The project will be completed by June 1, 2019.
Rick Dolittle, with Cressy Commercial, stated that approximately a year ago they
received a call to relocate Shambaugh & Sons. They liked South Bend because
of its central location and closeness to key highways. This location is in the US 31
Industrial Park Phase II. The building is 13,500 square feet in which 50% is office
and 50% is distribution/assembly space. The company employs union labor and
pay above minimum wage for employees. This will cause growth in the area.
