MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (this “Agreement”), effective as of this 13th
day of December 2018, by and between the City of South Bend Department of Redevelopment,
acting by and through its governing body, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the
“Commission”), and Wharf Partners, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the “Developer”)
(the Developer and the Commission each being referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as
the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Commission exists and operates under the provisions of the Redevelopment of
Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as amended (the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Commission and the Developer have previously entered into a Development
Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2018, as the same may be amended from time to time
(collectively, the “Development Agreement”), whereby the Developer agreed to undertake an
economic development project more fully described in the Development Agreement (the
“Project”) on certain property owned by the Developer described in the Development Agreement
(the “Developer Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Developer Property is wholly located within the boundaries of the River East
Development Area (the “Area”), an area previously designated by the City as an economic
development area and an allocation area for purposes of tax increment finance (“TIF”) and as more
fully described in the Development Agreement, the Commission believes completion of the Project
is consistent with the goals of the development plan previously approved by the Commission for
the Area; and
WHEREAS, the Commission agreed to undertake certain local public improvements as more fully
described in the Development Agreement; and
WHEREAS, since executing the Development Agreement, the Parties have determined that, to
ensure success of the Project and continued operation and development of the surrounding
properties, certain additional conveyances of real property, namely the granting and/or termination
of temporary and permanent easements, will be necessary to accommodate the completion of the
Project; and
WHEREAS, the Parties also desire to set forth further agreements with regard to other maintenance
and development concerns.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations set forth herein, the
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Recitals. The representations, covenants and recitations set forth in the foregoing recitals
are material to this Agreement and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement
by this reference.
ITEM: 5C4
2
2.Temporary Easements.
a.Commission Grants of Temporary Easement. The Commission agrees to grant
a temporary construction easement to the Developer for the use of that portion of
Lot 3 marked as Outlot “A” on the Seitz Park Minor Subdivision plat (the “Seitz
Park Plat”), which is attached as Exhibit A for reference, during completion of
Phase 1 of the Project (as described in the Development Agreement) including for
the purpose of locating sheet pilings thereon (the “Seitz Outlot”). Additionally, the
Commission agrees to grant a temporary construction easement to the Developer
for the use of Outlot A, as designated on the Cascades Minor Subdivision plat (the
“Cascades Plat”), attached hereto for reference as Exhibit B, for use during the
construction of Phase 2 of the Project including for the purpose of locating sheet
pilings thereon (the “Cascades Outlot”). The City of South Bend (the “City”)
contemplates that it will be constructing improvements to the area commonly
known as the River Walk, which is located on the Cascades Outlot, and the Parties
agree to work in good faith to coordinate the timing of their respective projects.
b.Developer Responsibilities. With respect to the temporary easements granted by
Commission herein, the Developer agrees that it will provide a clear lane over the
Seitz Outlot at least 15 feet wide or will cause its contractor to move any temporary
construction barriers as necessary to provide such 15 feet wide lane so that said
drive may be used by contractors working in Seitz Park (the “Park”) to construct a
hydroelectric power generation facility adjacent to the Park and also to reconstruct
the Park. The Developer agrees to coordinate the installation of sheet pilings on
the Cascades Outlot with improvements to be undertaken by the City thereon and
agrees further that it will reimburse and indemnify the City for any damage to the
trail improvements installed by the City on the Cascades Outlot that may occur as
a result of the installation of the sheet pilings by the Developer or its contractors or
for any increased costs of the trail improvements resulting from the installation of
the sheet pilings. The Developer agrees (i) that the River Lights structures (the
“Structures”) presently on the Cascades Outlot will remain during construction by
the Developer, and the Developer will reimburse and indemnify the Commission
for any damage to such Structures as a result of the Developer’s use of the Cascades
Outlot for its Project and (ii) to the extent that the Structures must be relocated
during such construction, the Developer shall be solely responsible for all expenses
incurred by the Commission for the temporary relocation and later reinstallation of
the Structures.
c.Developer Grant of Temporary Easement. The Developer agrees to grant to
the Commission a temporary easement over Lot 1 identified on the Cascades Plat
to provide parking for up to 26 automobiles for a period beginning on the date
hereof until August 31, 2020, or sooner as required to accommodate the parking
spaces displaced by neighboring construction projects. In the event that the grant
of this temporary easement precludes the Developer from commencing phase II of
3
its Project, the City agrees to assist Developer by coordinating with neighboring
construction projects and landowners to facilitate Developer’s objectives. Prior to
first use, the Commission shall provide evidence of insurance for use of Lot 1 for
parking purposes. The Commission agrees to undertake any improvements and
repairs and provide routine maintenance necessary to use Lot 1 for the purposes
described herein. The Developer agrees that the Commission shall have exclusive
use of the parking spaces for itself and tenants of the property commonly known as
Stephenson Mills, located as depicted on Lot 4 of the Cascades Plat. Further, the
Developer agrees that if any permanent lighting is removed from this area for
construction purposes, Developer will provide temporary lighting for the parking
area.
3.Permanent Easements. The Commission agrees to grant to the Developer the following
permanent easements: (i) over Lot 1 as depicted on the Seitz Plat for ingress and egress to
and from the Developer’s property, (ii) over the Cascades Outlot for the purpose of
installing and maintaining footings, lights, and landscaping, subject to the prior approval
of the Commission, and (iii) under the southern portion of the Cascades Outlot for the
purpose of discharging storm outfall. The Commission authorizes the Executive Director
of the City’s Department of Community Investment or his designee to receive notice of
and approve Developer’s plans for and installation of such improvements, and Developer
shall be responsible for all maintenance pertaining to such improvements. Developer shall
indemnify the Commission for any loss or damage resulting from the improvements,
including any additional costs required for the City’s improvements to the River Walk
which are caused directly or indirectly by the Developer’s improvements.
4. Terminations of Easements. The Developer acquired certain easement rights over Lot 2
as depicted on the Seitz Park Plat and Lot 4 as depicted on the Cascades Plat, which the
Developer agrees to terminate. Additionally, the Commission shall work with FREG
Stephenson Mills Associates, LLC (“FREG”) to terminate any interest FREG may have in
Lot 2 as depicted on the Cascades Plat.
5.Easement Agreements. The Parties shall mutually agree upon the terms of the easement
agreements and terminations contemplated herein and agree to execute such instruments
within a reasonable time after the execution of this Agreement to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby.
6.Property Transfers. Concurrently with this Agreement, the Commission shall transfer its
ownership interest in Lot 2 as depicted on the Cascades Plat to the Developer, and the
Developer shall transfer its ownership interest in the Cascades Outlot and a portion of Lot
4 as depicted in the Cascades Plat and more particularly shown as the western twelve feet
(12’) of Lot 1 as depicted on the Seitz Park Plat to the Commission.
7.Miscellaneous.
a.Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining terms
4
and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless
amended or modified by mutual consent of the Parties.
b.Amendment. This agreement may be modified only by the written mutual consent
of the Parties.
c.Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation, mediation, or arbitration among the
parties regarding an alleged breach of this Agreement, neither Party shall be entitled
to any award of attorneys’ fees.
d.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be
construed and governed according to the laws of the State of Indiana, and any
disputes arising hereunder that cannot be resolved amicably as set forth herein shall
be resolved exclusively in state or federal courts seated in St. Joseph County,
Indiana. In any legal proceeding, each Party waives the right to trial by jury in any
action, counterclaim, dispute, or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject
matter of this Agreement. This waiver applies to all claims against all parties to
such actions and proceedings. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and
voluntarily made by all Parties.
e.Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. Any electronically transmitted version of
a manually executed original shall be deemed a manually executed original.
f.Authority. Each undersigned person executing and delivering this Agreement on
behalf of a Party represents and certifies that he or she is the duly authorized officer
or representative of such Party, that he or she has been fully empowered to execute
and deliver this Agreement on behalf of such Party, and that all necessary action to
execute and deliver this Agreement has been taken by such Party.

FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request – Douglas Road Utility Relocation #118-116
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Funding in the amount of $200,000 for professional engineering services related
to the relocation of the Douglas Road Lift Station, force main, gravity sewer and potential water main
conflicts.
Specifics:
In 2021, St. Joseph County plans to widen a section of Douglas Road that will affect various South Bend
utilities located in, and that serve, the Douglas Road TIF District. Due to the widening of the roadway,
the City will need to relocate a critical (high flow) lift station located near Juday Creek, as well as a 10”
force main under the existing pavement. Potential gravity sewer relocations will also be necessary,
pending conflicts with the proposed improvements. It is anticipated that water main conflicts may also
require redesign.
Based on an initial estimate, we anticipate that the construction of a new lift station and force main will
be approximately $2.2M to $2.5. There are numerous considerations to be mindful of due to the fact
that this is a federal aid project; thus, it is possible that wetlands may also be affected due to the limited
right-of-way in this area.

SUBJECT: O’Brien Recreation Center Renovation – Budget Request
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The City of South Bend wishes to make improvements to the facilities located at O’Brien Park
as part of the My South Bend Parks and Trails initiative. The existing Recreation Center
requires improvements so that it meets the current and future needs of its users. These
improvements will include several significant improvements to benefit the community and
members of the O’Brien Fitness Center. Administration offices in the building will be
eliminated to create additional programming space. Restrooms on the main level will be
modernized and expanded to improve health and safety as well as meet modern ADA
requirements. There will also be several space planning and programming improvements to
activate more of the building and provide a better experience. Staff requests Commission
approval of a budget of $580,000 to support the design and construction of improvements at
O’Brien Recreation Center.
