1.Permanent Supportive Housing Funding Update
Ms. Meyer presented an update to the Commission on the revised focus to serve
the homeless and the Gateway Center funding previously approved by the
Commission, and to request shifting the funding to Permanent Supportive Housing
projects. In March 2018 a request was approved by the Commission to allocate
$1.5M to a Gateway Center, which was a recommendation in the report from the
Working Group on Homelessness. The Gateway Center was to be a facility
operated by partners in a temporary facility, for persons experiencing chronic
homelessness while waiting to move into Permanent Supportive Housing.
Initially it was contemplated that the donated modular units might be used for this
purpose. Site selection was challenging, and other options were considered. In
August 2019 Mayor Pete presented an overview of the City strategy to address
homelessness. In the presentation he shared a consensus between the City and
service providers that there were no Permanent Supportive Housing units for
people to move to and the concept of a Gateway Center didn’t make sense. The
idea of a Gateway Center was seen as costly, a short-term issue and not the long-
term solution of Permanent Supportive Housing that the community had
expressed as needed. The decision was made to pivot efforts away from the
Gateway Center to address Permanent Supportive Housing as a private effort. At
the same time was the Corporation for Supportive Housing Institute. South Bend
Heritage, the City and Oaklawn’s team application was approved for attendance at
the Institute. The Institute process resulted in a successful proposal for up to 60
units of Permanent Supportive Housing in our community. Twenty of these would
be in a new construction development and 40 would be scattered site vouchers.
Oaklawn would be providing services to either the twenty-unit development or any
voucher supported unit. To support this effort and the state funding that was
committed of $2.2M, the City determined that $500,000 from the previously
approved $1.5M from the Gateway project would be allocated towards a future
new construction development. Additionally, local home funding in the amount of
$970,000 is also committed to that project. The City also determined that up to
$1M would go towards the second phase of the Gemini apartments where up to 6
units of Permanent Supportive Housing would be committed. The $1M dollars
would pay for the cost of roof, masonry and fire stairs at the Colfax building of the
complex which supports all of the units in that building. A total of $165,000 of local
home funding for the interior rehab for up to 6 units at Gemini in the Colfax
building has been committed. To clarify the complex of the Gemini Apartments is
two buildings with 30 units in each. The City supported of the first phase, which
was the Washington Street building at $1.2M, had the exact same repairs of roof,
masonry and fire stairs plus parking lot and landscaping. Before the complex was
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
known as Gemini and owned by South Bend Heritage, the complex had a history
of issues and was a problem for many years. Support of the rehab is important
given the Gemini complex is a key asset in the neighborhood and will have up to 6
units of Permanent Supportive Housing.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment.
Carl Hetler, Pastor at Broadway Christian Parish and Methodist Church, home
address of 210 S Hawthorne Drive. Mr. Hetler spoke in support of this measure.
The minister sees people in his ministry in need of Permanent Supportive
Housing. This is a good model to work and should be spread throughout the City.
Six units is an appropriate amount. They are working with all the partners of
Permanent Supportive Housing throughout the City to be sure that people receive
the support they need. The church is in support of this effort in hopes that people
find the housing, safety and security that they need also with drug addiction
services, mental health rehabilitation and other services they need.
Kathy Schneider, Executive Director of St. Margaret’s House speaking in support
of this project. We have had many women who go there, and it has saved their
lives. The most important thing is to get them housing. They need many more
units but if this is where we are at then I support it completely. We need to get
people inside.
Kaine Kanczuzewski, 2636 Thornacres Drive, Niles: this is more of a question with
a million dollar commitment from the City for a commitment to the PSH does that
mean that all units in the Colfax portion will also come online or is that purely just
towards the six units and is there any guarantee that it won’t be 30 or 40 down the
road with a million dollar commitment down the road.
Mahan Mizer, 702 W Colfax, owner of a small bed and breakfast. My wife and I
want to support this for those who are in need in the City. There are a lot of
needs. The only question we have is what would be the character of the Colfax
side of Gemini. If we are beginning with these six units would there be more in the
future. What is the distinction between the Colfax side and Washington side?
Why not 3 and 3? Is there a separation as far as people in each side? Prior to
renovations there was quite a few problems. We would like to make sure with
renovation that the problems do not return.
Jessica Piser, 824 W Colfax: Apologizes for not having coherent thoughts as a
neighborhood we just found out about this Tuesday. I was at the Common
Council meeting 2 months ago when the 1500 block rezoning was voted down. As
the Councilmembers said at that meeting, they were voting no for their failure to
work with the neighborhood. Failure to communicate with the neighborhood. As a
neighbor it is disconcerting. This is a repeat of South Bend Heritage’s lack of
effort to work with the neighborhood. What kind of effort is it if they fail to
communicate with the neighborhood? I do not see this moving forward as I do not
see them working with us.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
Jim Bognar, 807 W Washington: This Commission knows that I have come in to
support the neighborhood. I thank County Council President Morton and
Councilmember John Voorde for being here. The Common Council members did
not know about this. It was very clear in the Council meeting that there would be
an effort in whatever neighborhood, that Council would be aware, and it would not
be done in a back-door meeting and that frankly the neighborhood would be
involved. In talking with Councilmembers, John Voorde can speak to this. Council
asked if this could be delayed until the new Council and new board. This is
significant. We have a good neighborhood. This is the oldest neighborhood in the
City. We care about the homeless and we have been a part and want to continue
to be a part of the solution. What I am asking is for the Commission to table this
measure until a new Council comes aboard so we continue this measure in a
productive way where we can come together as one and solve this problem. I
thank the Commission and hope that we can solve this at a later date where there
can be a proper vetting. I thank you for all that you are doing.
John Voorde, 1029 Clairemont Drive: I am here representing not only the City
Council but also as a member that grew up in that neighborhood. I would like to
echo what the two previous speakers have said. One we do appreciate the work
that has been done, we are supportive of scattered site housing, we do not want to
ban any number of units in the Washington/Colfax apartments. I sold raffle tickets
there when I was a kid. I think the majority of the Council, who also just found out
about this last Tuesday at our meeting, I think a majority of the Council if I can
speak for them, would support a continuation or a delay in the vote that you are
about to take on this, if not to the new Council, we would be happy to deal with it
as long as there is a formative give and take meeting with the Council that feels
left out at this point and the neighborhood that is clearly involved and the City who
has done a lot of good work here. To make sure everyone is informed and can
feel better about this and not feel that an error has happened that you defer a
vote. Would there be time for an informative discussion.
Rhonda Hughes, 1029 Riverside Drive: I speak in support of Permanent
Supportive Housing. I think that the scattered site approach that would be part of
something like 6 units at the Colfax/Washington apartments would be appropriate.
I lived in those apartments at one time. I think that it is wonderful that South Bend
Heritage is making these apartments available to the public again. So much of our
public investment in the last several years has gone into tax abatements and other
high-end upscale apartments. This modest infusion of 60 units of affordable
market rate housing in our community is a very exciting thing. We need basically
affordable housing in our community. If we had more affordable housing, we
could have less homeless people. The ratio of 6 units for homeless is very
appropriate. I don’t know what decision is in the fortnight, but I urge your infusion
of funds into housing of this particular kind for Permanent Supportive Housing.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
Oliver Davis, 1801 Nash Street: I have great concerns as to how this is being
done. For those of us on the Council it was told to us after this kind of a situation
on Washington Street, we were told there would be a lot more neighborhood
involvement. Those of us that live in the 6th District were stunned when Oliver
Apartments came. That was not discussed with us. I found out about it on the
news. I found out from the neighbors that we didn’t even have a meeting. When
you’re dealing with something as important as Permanent Supportive Housing. As
a licensed clinical social worker, who has my specialty in dealing with
homelessness, you have to work with the whole neighborhood to deal with support
housing, that’s why they call it support housing. It’s not only the services in the
facility but the whole group in the holistic neighborhood that builds up the support
housing, so therefore it shocked me when this whole system was put in place that
neighbors weren’t included that should have been included. From the Oliver
Apartments we had meetings in the Rum Village area to help deal with that
situation. We had the same thing that came over in the Washington situation and
here we are today, and it has been pushed, and a lot of people have said to me, is
it a part of a political campaign, all of us should not be a part of it. It should be a
part of South Bend, beyond any kind of campaign, beyond any kind of issues. In
order to have supportive housing you have to have an understanding of where we
are with the support of the neighborhood. Will they always understand everything,
no, but there is something that can come together and have more of not a rush
kind of environment. And for us to get notice on a Tuesday night was not the best.
That’s why we encourage our team and understand were we are because this is
not how we had it set up. We’ve also had issues about the financial feasibility of
what’s going on with South Bend Heritage. There’s a lot of concern that this is
being pushed right now because they are in financial crisis. I think we need to
have a better understanding of what their roll is because they have so much of the
property within the City of South Bend and their financial management is not going
to be put in place, what’s going to happen to not only this site but other properties
that they are dealing with. Those are some key things we are dealing with, so I
urge you to come back with a better plan. I thank you.
The floor was closed to public comment.
Pam Meyer addressed some of the questions asked.
The first question about $1M for 6 units; The $1M is only for the masonry, the fire
stairs and the roof. This is an exterior improvement only.
The dollar amount related to the rehab for 6 units is a total of $165,000 is not TIF
money, it is federal home dollars.
The character of the Colfax building is there a distinction between the Colfax side
and the Washington side. Not to my knowledge, I think that the units that are best
suited to come on line quickly, I think South Bend Heritage has selected the Colfax
side vs. the Washington side. I can’t speak to anything else related to that
particular issue.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
The working with the neighborhood is an opportunity to engage the neighborhood.
We have certainly committed and so has South Bend Heritage that relative to the
new construction development when we would be seeking out a potential property
and having communication across the communities about potential new site for
the project that had been proposed for West Washington, that would be a fully
engaged community process. That plan and process has been put aside for those
vouchers and the length of time it takes. We are getting vouchers into the
community that would be used in units that would be up hopefully within a 12-
month period of time; instead of 2 to 3 years in a new construction because it
takes so much longer to construct through our winter period.
The vouchers are project based and go along with the actual facility and are
vouchers owned by South Bend Heritage as they are the actual applicant for the
vouchers for their property sites. They are only for South Bend Heritage
properties.
In order for us to better understand what engaging the neighborhoods means, I
think we have to understand what people want to learn about voucher placement,
so we know how to share that information.
There is no knowledge I have in regard to South Bend Heritage being in financial
crisis so I cannot speak to that.
Commissioner Ferlic thanked everyone for coming out and voicing their concerns.
Also, thank you to the administration for this issue as it is an important issue for
the community. Based on the concerns, it makes sense to take a little bit more
time. We may also want a Council update. The next Redevelopment Commission
meeting is the same day as the next Council meeting due to Thanksgiving. If it
does not affect the project in a negative way, we can look at this again on
December 12th. We would want to reach out to Councilmembers and in addition
we can give a little more time to reach out to neighbors and make sure that
everything is clarified.
Commissioner Phillips agrees with Commission Ferlic that there needs to be more
information for the neighbors to be further discussed.
President Jones said there is nothing more important than engaging the
neighbors. That was a little slip with this. This is important as this is where people
live. They need to be heard and need to be communicated with as much as we
can. Slowing down and including more education and speaking with South Bend
Heritage so they can add more information to the conversation by December 12th
we can get a lot more conversations going so everyone is up to speed. This is
something that I totally support but also would like a little more information.
Commissioner Ferlic wants to make sure accurate information is in place.
Generally, neighbors are supportive when there is accurate information in place.
The overall communication from Community Investment and the administration
has been outstanding and I want to thank you for your efforts.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission tabled this item until Thursday,
December 12, 2019.
2.Budget Request (Coal Line Property Acquisition)
Mr. Dressel presented a Budget Request (Coal Line Property Acquisition). This is
a budget request for the ongoing Coal Line project. We are now ready for property
negations. We have identified 9 different parcels under 8 property owners to
acquire and build the trail on. These are all vacant parcels with no homes or
buildings in the way. Five of them are fractions of an acre. No people will be
relocated. This is on the old coal line rail line. On Lincolnway over the St. Joseph
River to the East Bank Trail and to the 933 trails. Building on Phase I on
Lincolnway. Phase II on the East Bank Trail. Commission approval is requested
in the amount of $221,765.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment.
Rhonda Hughes, 1029 Riverside Drive: This project has been around for a long
time. Was it delayed at any point?
Mr. Dressel stated No, it’s just the use of public funds for building trails. It takes a
long time.
The floor was closed to public comment.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Budget Request (Coal
Line Property Acquisition) submitted on Thursday, November 14, 2019.
3.Partial Façade Release (Catalyst III)
Mr. Buckenmeyer presented Partial Façade Release (Catalyst III). In the early
stages of Ignition Park, the City wanted to be sure that guidelines were followed
regarding design, so we took an easement on this property. Everything there is
completed and looks great. The City is doing a partial façade release of Catalyst
III for them to continue on with new construction. The easement will stay on
Catalyst I and II. This is for the new Press Ganey site. Commission approval is
requested.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment.
Kaine Kanczuzewski, 2636 Thornacres Drive, Niles: The façade requirements
stay the same, but the easement drops or does the façade requirements for
Catalyst III are not required?
Mr. Buckenmeyer stated that the actual requirements are in the PUD so it will still
follow the same design guidelines and fits in with the character of Catalyst I and II.
The floor was closed to public comment.
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Partial Façade Release
(Catalyst III) submitted on Thursday, November 14, 2019.
4.License Agreement (Majority Builders)
Mr. Buckenmeyer presented License Agreement (Majority Builders). This is
promoting the project for Press Ganey. Majority has requested to place a sign on
Ignition Dr. and Sample stating they are the builders. The Redevelopment
Commission owns the property, and this is a license agreement to access that
land. Commission approval is requested.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment. No public comment was
made. The floor was closed to public comment.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved License Agreement
(Majority Builders) submitted on Thursday, November 14, 2019.
B.West Washington Chapin Development Area
1.First Amendment to Development Agreement (Indiana Landmarks)
Mr. Hurst presented the First Amendment to Development Agreement (Indiana
Landmarks). This is regarding the Kizer House on Washington and Chapin. The
approved amount of $200,000 is for window replacement and repair. The low bid
came in at a little over $200,000. This amendment memorializes the overage and
Indiana Landmarks has agreed to cover that overage amount. Commission
approval is requested.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment.
Rhonda Hughes, 1029 Riverside Drive: What is the ultimate plan for that property?
Will it be sold?
Mr. Hurst stated that Indiana Landmarks plans to make it their base of operations.
If the price is right someone may purchase it. For right now it will become their
office space.
The floor was closed to public comment.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved the First Amendment to
Development Agreement (Indiana Landmarks) submitted on Thursday,
November 14, 2019.
C.Other
1.Resolution No. 3501 (Setting Public Hearing 2019 Additional TIF
Appropriations)
Ms. Pietsch presented Resolution No. 3501 (Setting Public Hearing 2019
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – November 14, 2019
Additional TIF Appropriations). This sets the public hearing for the Airport Bond
Debt Service Reserve for December 12th. This account has earned more interest
than is anticipated with the budget. Commission approval is requested.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment. No public comment was
made. The floor was closed to public comment.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the

2.Resolution No. 3509 (Setting Public Hearing 2019 Additional RWDA
Appropriations)
Ms. Pietsch presented Resolution No. 3509 (Setting Public Hearing 2019
Additional RWDA Appropriations). This is to set a public hearing on December
12th. When the budget was made for 2019 the budget included the debt service
amortization for the bonds instead of looking at the whole lease rental amount.
Commission approval is requested.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment. No public comment was
made. The floor was closed to public comment.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3509

Thursday, November 14, 2019.
3.Resolution No. 3510 (Set-up Double Tracking Bond Accounts)
Ms. Pietsch presented Resolution No. 3510 (Set-up Double Tracking Bond
Accounts). This is for the ongoing double tracking bond which we will set-up the
accounts and funds paying the lease payments.
Randy Rampola, Barnes and Thornburg stated this simply sets up the account by
which the Redevelopment Commission will pay the lease rental payments to the
Redevelopment Authority. That money will be paid to the bond trustee on behalf
of the Redevelopment Authority and that will pay off the bond. The account is set
up so it is expected that available TIF revenues in the River West Development
Area will pay the lease rental which will pay the debt service on the bonds. The
Resolution does indicate if the TIF revenue was ever insufficient, there would be a
levy for a tax pay back. There is no expectation this mechanism will be needed.
The reason we use this is to get the lowest cost in borrowing. The
Redevelopment Authority met earlier today, and we are on track in respect to the
bond financing. This is a house keeping matter to establish the needed fund
account. December 4th is the expected date of the bond sale.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment. No public comment was
made. The floor was closed to public comment.

2.Resolution No. 3513 (Declaring Certain Properties Blighted)
Mr. Relos presented Resolution No. 3513 (Declaring Certain Properties Blighted).
This is for 5 vacant lots in a key area. The area is north of the City Cemetery
between LaPorte and Lincoln Way West. The City owns a number of vacant lots
in this area. This resolution would declare them blighted under Statute Section
19.5. The properties are $1,000 each for a total of $5,000. Commission approval
is requested.
Commissioner Ferlic asked is this part of the parks program?
Mr. Corcoran answered that in 2014 with the Westside Main Streets plan, we
identified this area as part of a green/open space. It hasn’t been designed yet, but
we have acquired properties through the tax sale process as they become
available. The blighted properties are a unique opportunity to pick up 5 lots
outside the tax sale process at a lesser amount of money. These are standard
size city lots along Euclid.

federal laws or regulations, new or supplemental environments regulations, contract defaults by

of the Party to be excused (each, an event of “Force Majeure”). Upon the request of any of the
Parties, a reasonable extension of any date or deadline set forth in this Agreement due to such
cause will be granted in writing for a period necessitated by the event of Force Majeure, or longer

SECOND AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this "Second
Amendment") is made on December 12, 2019, by and between the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission, the governing body of the City of South Bend Department of Redevelopment (the
“Commission”), and Jefferson 315 LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the “Developer”)
(each a “Party,” and collectively the “Parties”).
RECITALS
A.The Commission and the Developer entered into a Development Agreement dated
effective April 25, 2019, as amended by a First Amendment to Development Agreement dated
October 24, 2019 (together, the “Development Agreement”), for the development of a Project in
the River West Development Area.
B.As set forth in the Development Agreement, the Commission agreed to expend no
more than Two Hundred Six Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Three Dollars ($206,873.00) of
tax increment finance revenues to complete the Local Public Improvements in support of the
Developer’s construction on the Developer’s Property, including but not limited to repairs to or
replacement of the windows, roof, exterior bricks, parking lot, and fencing (the “LPI”).
C.In accordance with Section 5.2(c) of the Development Agreement, bids were
received for the LPI by the City of South Bend Board of Public Works (the “Board”), as the
Commission’s agent, and the winning bidders were awarded contracts for various portions of the
LPI, including the winning bidder for masonry work (the "Masonry Contractor").
D.In the course of performing the masonry work, the Masonry Contractor discovered
additional concerns and recommended further repairs; however, the cost of the change order
exceeds the remaining Funding Amount.
E.In order to approve the change order (the “Change Order”), the Board requires an
increase of the Funding Amount by One Thousand One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,150.00) (the
“Funding Amount Increase”).
F.In consideration of the Commission’s willingness to increase the Funding Amount,
and thereby to permit the Board’s approval of the Change Order, the Developer has paid the
Funding Amount Increase in the manner set forth in this Second Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations stated in the
Development Agreement and this Second Amendment, the adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Section 1.4 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
1.4 Funding Amount. “Funding Amount” means an amount not to exceed Two
Hundred Eight Thousand Twenty-Three Dollars ($208,023.00) of tax increment finance
revenues to be used for paying the costs associated with the construction, equipping,
inspection, and delivery of the Local Public Improvements.
ITEM: 6A4

2.The Developer hereby expressly reaffirms its obligation under Section 5.2(d) of the
Development Agreement to pay all costs of completing the LPI, including any necessary change
orders to the LPI Contract, in excess of the Funding Amount, as such amount is hereby amended.
The Developer hereby acknowledges that the Developer or the Developer’s designee may inspect
the LPI upon completion and hereby expressly reaffirms its obligation under Section 5.2(d) of the
Development Agreement to pay all costs of inspecting the LPI.
3.Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Commission’s obligations to
complete the LPI will be satisfied in full upon the completion of the LPI Contract, irrespective of
the final amount of the LPI Contract.
4.As an inducement for the Commission’s increase of the Funding Amount under this
First Amendment and as a further assurance to the Commission pursuant to Section 9.13 of the
Development Agreement, the Developer has submitted to the Commission and the Commission
acknowledges receipt of funds in the amount of One Thousand One Hundred Fifty Dollars
($1,150.00), which funds will be applied at an appropriate time to the LPI Contract in accordance
with the Board’s ordinary payment practices and applicable laws.
5.The Developer hereby expressly reaffirms its obligations under the Development
Agreement, and, unless expressly modified by this Second Amendment, the terms and provisions
of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect.
6.Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment will have the meanings set forth
in the Development Agreement unless otherwise stated herein.
7.The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into the operative provisions of
this Second Amendment.
8.This Second Amendment will be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Indiana.
9.This Second Amendment 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.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
DIVISION OF ENGINEERING
TO: Redevelopment Commission
City of South Bend
FROM: Zach Hurst, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Addition of Private Funding – 201 S Main (Barnes and Thornburg
Building)
Bald Mountain, LLC
DATE: December 10, 2019
Bald Mountain, LLC, wishes to use the remainder of their TIF allotment ($104,750) to perform
site restoration within the public right of way surrounding their construction site. The project’s
contractor, Weigand Construction, has estimated the value of the work to be performed at
$120,324 by way of a formal Engineer’s Estimate. The difference of $15,574 must be
reimbursed to the City to allow the City to enter into a fully-funded contract for the work.
City policy dictates that a performance bond must be held for any major work which disturbs
public right of way. A performance bond guarantees funds available to the City in case work on
the site becomes stalled for an extended period of time, and the City must replace and re-open
the right of way. In lieu of this bond, Bald Mountain LLC will immediately furnish $15,574 upon
execution of this action to arrive at the revised ‘Funding Amount’.
Between the remaining TIF dollars and the funding from Bald Mountain LLC, the City has the
same protection and has mitigated its risk against paying to repair a private contractor’s
disturbance of the right of way.
