NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd Mr. Ch nney moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 412, second d by Mr. Wiggins and unanimously carried. b.l Resolution No. 413: RESOLUTION NO. 413 ADOPTED, R -66 The Executive Director presented a petition signed by more than fifty (50) owners of taxable real estate located within the boundaries of the So th Bend Redevelopment District requesting the Co mission to authorize and issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $3,800,000.00 to pay the cost of acquisition, clearance, rehabilitation, site improvement and renewal of property des- cribed in Resolution No. 215 adopted by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission on April 4, 1968, along with a verifying affidavit as certified by the County Auditor. After consideration of said petition, on motion duly made by Mr. Wiggins, se- conded by Mr. Wade, and unanimously carried, the petition was approved and found to comply with the provisions of IC 1971, 6- 1 -46 -7 (Section 64-1910 of Burns' Indiana Statutes), and said petition was received and placed on file. After further consideration and discussion, motion duly made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by . Wade, and unanimously carried, the Commission opted Resolution No. 413, which had previously en prepared by Bond Counsel at the request of e Commission, and which resolution is attached reto and made a part hereof. Bond Counsel stated that it would be necessary to hold a heari g on the additional appropriation of the proceeds of thE bonds not less than ten (10) days after the first publi ation and posting of the notice of such hearing. After discussion and consideration, the Commission de- cided to hold such hearing at the office of the Commis- sion zt 1200 County -City Building, 227 West Jefferson Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana, at 10:30 o'clock A.M., E.S.T , on the 18th day of August, 1972. Mr. T4ylor read his letter which accompanied the petition. This need follows completion of a revised cost estimate for the Downtown Renewal Project. The updated project cost reflects the inflationary spiral of construction costs over the past five years. The original.capital grant request from HUD was $13,576,782.00. Due to limita- tions on available funds, the request was reduced by HUD in am unt of 2.7 Million Dollars. - 5 - 6. NEW BUSINESS (ConVd) These ircumstances necessitate an amended application to HUD for increased funds totalling approximately 9 Million Dollar;. The 3.8 Million Dollars from the bond issue will be useJ principally for costs of acquisition and property renewal as set forth in Resolution No. 215 adopted by the South 3end Redevelopment Commission on April 4, 1968. The Re evelopment Commission is hopeful that the 3.8 Millioi Dollars will be reimbursed by Federal grants in the form of amendatory funds; however, since the total of the ;e grants and the timetable of reimbursement is indefi ite and subject to prolonged negotiations with HUD, it is 3ssential that the Commission proceeds as quickly as possible with the bond issue so there will be no delay in comple ion of this most necessary project. c. Bond Counsel Contract: This Contract is between the Redevelopment Commission and the firm of Roemer, Sweeney and Roemer, for professional services as bond counsel for the proposed 3.8 Million Dollar bond issue, as discussed above in Resolution No. 413. Legal Counsel fees are to be equivalent to the Bar rate as set forth in the Schedule of Minimum Fees of the St. Joseph County Bar Association, dated May 1, 1965. Legal Counsel is authorized by Commission to retain as consulting bond counsel, Ice, Miller, Donadio & Ryan of India apolis, Indiana -- fees to be paid by Commission. BOND COUNSEL CONTRACT APPROVED, R -66 On motion by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Wade, Commis- sion Fresident and Secretary were authorized to enter into z contract with Roemer, Sweeney and Roemer, as bond couns 1 for the proposed 3.8 Million Dollar bond issue.
