4. COMMUNICATIONS
Two letters from Chicago DHUD office, dated Sept. 27, 1967 relative
to sita improvement work in LaSalle Park Project, R -57. One letter
approv s entering into,contract with Woodruff & Sons (Contract A),
Mclnty a -Jones Constr- Co. (Contract C), and-E. R. Knapp & Sons
(Contr ct D), upon submission of budget revision. The other.. letter
reques s more information before awarding Contract B to Reith -Riley
Construction Co.,, because of the fact they were not low bidder.
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. The Commission approved Resolution 199, authorizing the filing
of an Amendatory Loan and Grant Application for the Chapin Street Pro-
ject, R -29 in the amount of $1,753,733, upon motion by Rev. Kirk,
seconded by Mr. Chenney. The two major reasons for the necessity to
amend the Ipplication are (1) the interest cost has exceeded the
amount est mated for,budget purposes, and (2) the Commission plans,:
to claim credit for the new Municipal Facilities Building which meets
federal re uirement of being within 1/4 mile of an urban renewal;pro�.
ject, in this case the Chapin Street Project, R -29. The credits from
this action will exceed $400,000, and can be used in the funding.of
the City's share of cost for urban renewal projects.
b. Th ee option agreements were approved for execution for
parcels 10 19, 31 -5, and 43 -17-in the LaSalle Park Project, R -57,
upon motio by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Rev. Kirk.
c. Because of a directive from the Chicago DHUD office, the
staff recommended, and received Commission approval for the selec-
tion of the second and third acquisition appraisers for the
Industrial Expansion Project, R-56, as a necessary step in pro-
ceeding with the preparation of the Part II,, Loan and Grant Appli-
cation. Tie federal office has made this directive because any
project extending beyond 36 months before execution is subject to
cancellati n. Upon reviewing four acquisition appraisal proposals
for the pr ject area, the Commission approved the selection of
Gillis Realty, SRA, and Hubert M. Weaver, SRA, upon a motion by
Rev. Kirk, seconded by Mr. Chenney. The two contracts are not to
exceed $3,530 each, and are broken down at $50.00 for each residen-
tial parcel, $30,00 for each unimproved parcel, and $80.00 for each
commercial parcel. There are a total of 65 parcels in the project
area. It is a Redevelopment policy that appraisers are to have the
SRA and /or MAI designation, as a measure of professional competence.

SECTION 115 REHAB
R -57, GRANT APPROVED,
PARCEL 20 -38,
LASALLE , R-57
a. Re ocation,'LaSalle Park, R -57. Relocation is one of the
most diffi ult activities, and is a problem in any community. How-
ever, relo ation is workable, and progress is being made. To date,
90 familie and 13 individuals have been relocated in standard
housing. urreritly 37 families and 7 individuals remain on the
work load. Within the B. G. Smith Homes, the area in which the
Greater South Bend Housing Corporation plans to build housing units
for low income persons, only 4 families remain; one family is
scheduled to move into public housing, and the other three are in
process of purchasing homes. In conjunction with relocation acti-
vities, the demolition of vacant buildings began this morning in
accordance with the Notice to Proceed Order given to Dore Wrecking
Company. An application for Lease Housing is being prepared by the
Housing Au hority and should help in providing housing for displaced
families due to renewal.
b. Rehabilitation, LaSalle Park R -57. This program is a very
vital part of the LaSalle Park Project. The staff rehabilitation
team has made 144 inspections, 40 of these have been submitted to
contractors for bidding purposes, and to date 20 loans for rehabili-
tation wor have been processed. There is a large amount of docu-
mentation o be accomplished by the rehabilitation staff in order
to substan fate to the Chicago HUD office that loans will be repaid.
Many appli ants for loans involve low income families with unsatis-
factory cr dit reports. The Redevelopment staff works diligently
with these families in an attempt to-qualify them for loans. Many
property oimers have been able to do large portions of the work on
their homes themselves thus reducing the loan requirement. All
loans must be reviewed and approved by the FHA Indianapolis office,

to substantiate property owners ability to repay the loan,
)unt of review time required by Chicago HUD office.
c. Industrial Expansion Project R -56. As a prerequisite to
the final proloct approval, steps are being taken to proceed with
Part II Application which needs the.approval of Area Plan Commis-
sion, the Common Council, and a public hearing to be held by the
Redevelopment Commission.
d. Chapin Street Project, R -29. The Amendatory Application to
the Loan aid Grant will in no way hold up the site improvement work
in the project area. As soon as the consulting engineers, Clyde
Williams aid Associates, recommend the staff will readvertise for
bids on thB pedestrian overpass.
e. Downtown Project, R -66. By mid - November all necessary
documentation will have been prepared and Part I will be ready to
,,submit to the Chicago HUD office. In the meantime, all interested
groups and public agencies will have had an opportunity to review
this project with the staff and its planners.
The next r gular meeting of the Redevelopment Commission will be at
10:30 A. M , October 19, 1967, in the office of the Redevelopment
Department
