Wade's resignation was accepted, with regret. IV. APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER Several prospective appointees were discussed as a replacement for Ir. B. L. Wade. It was stressed that we need someone on the Board if Commissioners who will really be concerned, not just have an interest in the downtown area. This met with concurrence by all the Trustees. IV. V. POINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER (Cont'd One of the recommendations for the replacement of Mr. Wade was Mr. Robert J. Cira, made by President Morrison. He advised Mr. Cira is a native of South Bend and a long -time businessman operating the Cira's Super Markets, at 2904 South Michigan Street, South Bend. Mr. Cira is a successful businessman, is willing and anxious to serve as a Commissioner, and he is inter- ested in the downtown area. The decision was unanimous to nominate Mr. Cira. The motion was made by Mr. Wertheimer that Mr. Robert J. Cira be appointed to serve as a Redevelopment Commissioner to complete the term of Mr. B. L. Wade. The motion was seconded by Mr. Richardson and unanimously carried. TRUSTEE RESIGNATION Messrs. Edgar Wertheimer and William A. Welsheimer have both previously expressed other appointments be made for their re- placements on the Board of Trustees as they wish to resign, but have volunteered to remain until a replacement has been made. Mr. Wertheimer advised, in accordance with Section 6 of the By -Laws of the South Bend Redevelopment Board of Trustees, he has continued to serve until an appointment is made. Due to the delay in making an appointment, Mr. Wertheimer requested his resignation be accepted as of this morning, effective at the adjournment of this meeting. Mr. Wertheimer is to submit his letter of resignation to The Honorable John W. Montgomery, Judge of the Circuit Court, with a copy to Mr. Morrison, as President of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Edgar Wertheimer was appointed by the Circuit Court Judge, December 2, 1970, with a term of expiration of January 10, 1975. By Indiana Statutes, the Trustees hold over after the expiration of their terms until their respective successors have been duly appointed and have qualified. Mr. Werthetmer's resignation was accepted with regret. Mr. William A. Welsheimer was appointed by the Common Council, December 1, 1971, with a term of expiration of February 18, 1974. Mr. Roland A. Kelly was requested by the Chair to talk to Mr. Roger Parent, President of the Common Council, for the nomination of a replacement for Mr. Welsheimer.
