Subject: Resolution No. 3055
Transfer of Hansel Center to Board of Public Works
Date: July 12, 2012
On November 22, 2011, the Commission and South Bend Heritage Foundation, Inc.
(SBHF) entered in to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), for the substantial
renovation of the Hansel Center, 1045 W. Washington St.
The MOU called for the transfer of the Hansel Center from SBHF to the Commission, and
upon completion of the Commission's responsibilities, the transfer of the property to the
Board of Public Works (Board). The Board will in turn transfer it back to SBHF, who will
complete the project with private funding.
On April 24, 2012, the Commission accepted the transfer of the Hansel Center. It is
anticipated the Commission's responsibilities under the MOU will be reached by the end of
this month. In preparation of the transfers required to complete the project, Resolution No.
3055 authorizes the transfer to the Board.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3055, to allow the transfer of this property to the
Board, and to fulfill its obligations under the MOU.
