COMMUNICATIONS (Cont'd The qhair said: " peaking for all the Commissioners, I have become rouder of being a member each time one of these atters is announced. "And for a summation, none of this could have been possible without urban renewal. We took a lot of criticism and ridicule. Now things are developing and people see the betterment. The people are be- coming more and more enthusiastic every day. am very proud to have been a part of it and I now the rest of the Commission has too." Mr. Taylor said the letter indicates a minimum size build- ing of 200,000 square feet, and in comparison to the County - City Building which is about 130,000 square feet, the pro- posed development will be about half again as large as the Coun y -City Building. As our signs indicate, we have had 21 Million Dollars taxable new development, along with 15 Million Dollars in non- taxable construction in the down- town area since urban renewal started. We only acquired 13 Million Dollars worth of property in the renewal project and his one proposal will almost put that amount back, if not ut it back totally. The housing area and a few smaller retail sites are all that remain for disposition in the Down own Renewal Project. Mr. arl King said: "This community owes you gentlemen a real ) vote of thanks." Mr. ade said the post office building would not have been bull if we would not have had urban renewal. Mr. Ochrager and his firm were commended for their fore - sigh in land purchase. They had no knowledge this would come about. Moti�n was made by Mr. Wiggins the letter be received and plac d on file, seconded by Mr. Wade and unanimously carried.

NEW BUSINESS a. Addendum Agreement: This Agreement is between the South Bend Department of Redevelopment and the Royal Inns of America, Inc., on Disposition Parcel No. 7 -1, R -66. Mr. Butler, Commission Legal Counsel, advised certain provisions in the original Redevelopment contract imposed restrictions on the transfer of shares of stock of the Redeveloper and imposed information and reporting requirements with respect to the stockholders of the Re- developer. Since Royal Inns is a publicly -held Corpora- tion with shares of its stock traded on the American Stock Exch nge, it is not practically possible for the Redeveloper EDC CONTRACT APPROVAL OF 7 -7 -72 RESCINDED & ANOTHER CONTRACT APPROVED ACQUISITION APPROVAL OF 2 -1 -68, PARCEL NOS. 4 -14 & 4 -15, RESCINDED, R -66 ADDENDUM AGREEMENT APPROVED, DISPOSITION PARCEL NO. 7 -1, R -66 6.

Within that resolution, the Commission specified publication in two pewspapers for two consecutive weeks. The statutory requirement is one publication in two newspapers and we had intended to have one additional publication to the statutory requirement. The original date for awarding the bids was set for December 6th. We subsequently tear ed over billion dollars worth of bonds were on the market for that day. The recommendation was that we change our date to December 4, which we did. One publication re- appeared in newspapers. The request now is t amend the two publication requirement and provide for only one publication for the notice.
