4.Old Business
A.Permanent Supportive Housing Update
Mr. Kain presented an update on Permanent Supportive Housing. Mr. Kain showed a
presentation that presented a change from the Gateway project to the Gemini project. In
March 2018 the RDC approved $1.5m towards the Gateway project. In August 2019
Mayor Pete announced a City strategy to address homelessness. The strategy addressed
permanent housing for the homeless population. There were two aspects to this. One was
a site project with the other being vouchers for scattered housing sites around the City.
The Gateway project was meant to be a short-term means to address immediate concerns.
We are reaching out to the Redevelopment Commission to re-allocate the funds from the
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2019
Gateway project to the Gemini project. The Gemini Apartments (or Washington/Colfax
Apartments) are within the project boundaries of West Washington and River West TIF
areas. The project has proceeded in two phases - the W est W ashington and Colfax facing
buildings. We are asking to re-direct the money from the Gateway project to the second
phase of the Gemini project. As part of the second phase that allows South Bend
Heritage, the owner, to proceed with six housing vouchers. At the November 14, 2019
meeting we came to RDC and asked the staff to re-allocate the dollars. The Commission,
at that time, asked us to go back and look at additional outreach. We have reached out to
the Near West Side Neighborhood Organization and shared the plan also to Council
members. A commitment from South Bend Heritage is to maintain 6 units for permanent
supportive housing out of the 60 total units. South Bend Heritage is proposing to put 6
vouchers in the Gemini project. One of the questions was the use of TIF. This project sits
on River West and West Washington Development Areas. This project is an allowable use
for those TIF dollars.
Sandra Kennedy, City Attorney states that this is an allowable use of TIF. It serves the
area. It is physically connected. Under two statutes we are allowed to use it for the
purpose.
Mr. Kain states that we are asking for the use of $1M towards the infrastructure of Gemini
Phase II. This is for roof, masonry and fire stairs. The way TIF allocations work is the
money is allocated towards a project and is not allocated to an owner. The money goes to
a City project manager who then contracts the work out and works with the contractor until
the job is complete. That is the intention of this project. The $500,000 left will go to the
Single Site Project. The site has run into a few issues. The site that the City was pursuing
was not approved for re-zoning by the Common Council. The City has had additional
conversations about outreach. No progress has been made at this time, but we will work
with the correct organizations in the first quarter of 2020. Once Commission acts today,
we will work with South Bend Heritage Foundation on an amendment to the Development
Agreement of Phase I.
A letter was received from South Bend Heritage where they have committed within the
Development Agreement yet to come that no more than 6 permanent supportive housing
vouchers will be distributed through the entire Gemini complex.
President Jones opened the floor for public comment.
Jim Bognar, 807 West Washington Street, South Bend: Mr. Bognar states that he neither
supports or has any opposition towards South Bend Heritage. He has a problem with the
funds coming out of certain TIF funds. This is a directed transfer from one TIF area to
another with no issue of repayment. It sets a difficult precedent and he refuses to believe
that the Commission wants to approve. Each TIF area has a yearly review of funds. At
that review there can be changes. All the TIF have this review and were approved in early
summer. These did not include servicing in different areas. This includes TIF funds for
outside TIF projects. If this was such an important issue for DCI this should have been
discussed and changed. The second direction is to adjust the TIF boundaries the TIF
areas to include these areas. The City has just adjusted those boundaries. The City has
worked for years with TIF districts to redact areas such as the City Cemetery and around
River West. DCI has a funding request in this meeting for a first phase of the City
Cemetery. I believe it is a serious matter to move TIF from one area to the other. He
questions the strength of the legal standing. If legal feels the law is on their side, the need
to issue both chapter and verse of what gives the Commission ability to do this. If this was
a policy change, this needs to be presented to City Council at a minimum we must accept
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2019
that this is not a simple action. The Commission must view this as a change in TIF funding
procedures and it needs to be fully vetted by the Administration and City Council. It does
not matter if you are a Mayoral City appointment, your service is to the City of South Bend
and actions like this make folks cynical and ruins public moral and makes people think why
try when the system is rigged at times; I felt this and so have my neighbors. Members of
the Commission, DCI believes the proper direction is to finance this project, then let them
bring Washington/Colfax into the River West TIF district and give both Council and the
public the ability to voice opposition. We will all be better off if time is taken to do it
properly. If after all of that come back to the Commission. I am asking that the President
of this Commission take accurate roll call so it will be officially documented the vote on
these proceedings. I thank you for the privilege of your time and wish you a happy and
healthy holiday season.
Rolanda L. Hughes, 1029 Riverside Drive speaks in support of the $1M to the Gemini
apartments. She applauds the fact that South Bend Heritage stepped up to save the
historic building and she has lived there herself. It would have been a huge loss to the
neighborhood. A lot of people in the neighborhood were looking for a way to save this
building as it has fallen into disrepair. Now its being saved. We have a huge shortage of
low to moderate housing in our community. Six units in this apartment will make a huge
difference. Six is a non-problematic number and I am in hopes the Commission finds a
way to support that. If in fact the City finds its way to do a Gateway center after all, I hope
the City community foundation helps to find the dollars that may be needed for that
allocation. Thank you very much.
Sue Kesim, 422 Kennedy Drive her two concerns that the Gateway is actually needed and
hates to see the money go away. The purpose was to bring people in and figure out the
proper resources for them. It still isn’t being done very well. She feels like we discounted
something that was on a positive path. She doesn’t like seeing the Gateway not funded.
The second thing is she wants to know the cost of these units because it seems extremely
high. For the same amount of money other things could have been built and more things
could be serviced. Gateway is still needed, and it seems like a high cost per unit. Thank
you.
John Nagy and his wife Alicia live with their 8 children at 705 W Washington Street, two
doors west of the W Washington side of the apartments and he thanks you for your time.
He is not sure what he has heard of the actual technical way of how this works. Forgive
him if he revisits the way it works. Today he is asking the Commission to ensure the City
and South Bend Heritage commit in writing to a permanent binding amendment of no more
than six vouchers in the entire Gemini complex for the condition of the work that the City
proposes to undertake to complete the building rehabilitation. We ask that this should be
written in for any entity that South Bend Heritage might sell or otherwise transfer ownership
of the complex to. We are worried without a legal commitment being placed that the deal
will take shape without it. Gemini Apartments being a place of more than 10% of the units
occupied by voucher benefits will be damaging for the Near West Side, crushing its fragile
hopes for the long-term revival of South Bend Heritage in the past. We would like for our
intentions be clear to be the best neighbors to the tenants that reside there. Like all our
neighbors on the Near West Side, we encourage the City’s investment in our
neighborhood, which has a unique Chicago style with the brick buildings such as the
Gemini Apartments and buildings that are really preserved. We hope we will soon be
discussing other amenities for our neighborhood that are found in other parts of the
neighborhoods. Neighborhood parks, well lit streets, basic road repair for the west side
and enticements to creation of new small businesses. These things came up in August
and were articulated by members of the community of every economic background. While
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2019
the City is investing in Gemini, we would like them to know all home and business owners
throughout the Near W est Side are investing in the future as well. While we acknowledge
the City’s effort in housing the chronically homeless, we count ourselves as a family, that
are ready to do our part. We are disappointed that South Bend Heritage has forgotten us
and the neighborhood. One of the parents in the neighborhood organization meeting in the
past year has conveyed that they fail to understand something fundamental. While they try
to find housing for the homeless, people and not organizations are the most important
stake holders of all. There was no dialog back in June and no dialog with neighbors this
time around. No fact finding about who we are or our needs or concerns. What’s more
South Bend Heritage has forgot once the bills are paid and the bricks are snug the true
success or failure of this social experiment is going to depend on relationships. South
Bend Heritage in the real estate business should be in the relationship business. The
business of making sure the neighborhood works for all those who live there. Does the
leadership of South Bend Heritage or the City know how many children live in a two-block
radius of these apartments? I know antidotally that kids walk by these apartments every
day. They roller blade on the sidewalk and should feel the same level of comfort as kids
feel playing on their blocks every day. It would be an enormous benefit if South Bend
Heritage and partners would come into the neighborhood and train us, reassure us how to
be the best possible new neighbors to new people coming in. What’s been thought, written
or done with people who have created this kind of arrangement in their communities. In 19
days, we will begin a new year and I’ve heard incoming Council members articulate a need
for a new plan and responsibilities. Members of the west side, Rum Village neighborhood
and the 6th district are stepping forward and would like to see people stepping up in the
other districts in the City. Thank you for your time.
Alicia Nagy, John Nagy’s wife 705 W Washington, states this is something from her
heart. She is a Catholic and what Pope Francis talked about the deserted vacation
of the cities when there aren’t families there. When we moved to West
Washington, I was very scared because I had small children that needed to play
outside. My friends said I was crazy for moving to this neighborhood. I wanted to
help put the smile back in the City. There aren’t children in the downtown area.
Then you don’t have long term investment or life in the City. I’ve known people in
the area for a long time and I have no reason to be afraid. When I see that the City
wants to not be transparent but underhandedly taking some issue and have us
support them, which I’ve heard has been in the past, I heard there was a lot of
community investment and dialog. I feel nervous and scared about the heritage of
these older places. Many 21st Century City’s feel like we have brought smiles back
into the City by bringing children in. We should make investment in the City with
the whole City of South Bend. Thank you very much.
Karl Edmonson 1102 W Jefferson Blvd. He is in the unique position of living in the
Near W est Side neighborhood and being a member of the Board of South Bend
Heritage. He would like to rebut a lot of what was just said. The idea that we
should start discriminating against low income people who in a project that has no
obligation to actually disclose the financial or personal information of their tenants.
Sets a very dangerous precedent in his mind. The idea that this is not supporting
the community and trying to solve a problem in the community is something he
doesn’t understand. He understands people fearing something they don’t know but
that doesn’t make it a bad idea. He owns property in the City and neighborhood
and can rent his property to whoever he wants. Rich people, poor people, felons
and whatever he wants, and he doesn’t have to tell anyone. South Bend Heritage
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2019
has been transparent on who they want to be in their apartments to many more
than one neighborhood association. He gets upset of the idea that somehow South
Bend Heritage has been trying to pull one over on everybody. They have allowed
these processes to happen. We are sitting here right now because everyone is
involved in the situation. This idea that South Bend Heritage or the City is trying to
do all these things without anyone having any say is ridiculous because we are
here right now talking.
Jitin Kain answered questions.
The TIF question was answered by legal who clearly said the use of TIF adjacent
to a TIF area is allowed.
Sandra Kennedy stated Indiana Code Section 36-7-14-39, Section E3G and B3J
specifically states reimburse the unit for expenditures made by or for local public
improvements which include buildings, parking facilities and other items that are
physically located in or physically connected to that allocation area.
Mr. Kain pointed out this is physically connected to the River West allocation area.
Mr. Kain states we are allowed to pay for expenses incurred by the Redevelopment
Commission for local public improvements that are in the allocation area or serving
the allocation area. The consensus is this will serve the entire City. It will serve all
the TIF districts. The legal opinion is that this will serve a proper use, under the
statute of TIF funds.
Mr. Kain addressed the next question of the Gateway being needed. His
understanding Gateway was two things. A physical building or pods donated to the
City and also the coordinated entry process which allowed any agency to look at
the needs of the population and direct resources to them. The process is still in
place, it’s the physical portion of that process that is not proceeding, which is the
pods. As we shift the funding it will go to Gemini and the entry process is still in
place.
The TIF resources will not go to the six vouchers. They are going to the
infrastructure of the building. They are not going to rehab an individual unit. The
thought of the per unit cost is extremely high is inaccurate as the money is going
towards the actual structure of the building as a whole.
Regarding the commitment of no more than six vouchers. There is a commitment
letter that has been discussed previously. The Redevelopment Commission will
pass an Amendment to the Development Agreement with South Bend Heritage
which will spell out the commitment.
Discussion amongst Commission and staff is to make sure once the document is in
place, to make sure it is recorded.
Commissioner Ferlic thanked everyone for coming out and participating. He
remembers when the Gemini wasn’t the best property and is thankful that South
Bend Heritage has stepped up and the City is participating as well. Mr. Ferlic also
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2019
notes that regarding permanent supportive housing that this is a Council priority
and the City will be addressing this. Six units is reasonable, and every area needs
to address this issue. This building and neighborhood need a good partner and
landlord and South Bend Heritage will be that.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved the Permanent
Supportive Update project submitted on Thursday, December 12, 2019.

Warranty Deed was recorded on March 2, 2017 in the St. Joseph County Recorder’s Office
as Document No. 170897 (the “Deed”).
C.The Parties desire to modify certain portions of the REPA.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises
contained in this Amendment and the REPA and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Section 11.C. of the REPA shall be deleted in its entirety.
2.Section 12.A. of the REPA shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the

Expenditure shall not include brewing equipment or chattel.
ii.Project Plan. Buyer shall develop the Property, to the extent reasonably
practicable, in accordance with the materials attached as Exhibit C (the "Project
Plan"), which the Parties acknowledge is subject to standard acceptances as

for the operation of a brewpub. Further authorizations may be required by other
departments within the City of South Bend (the "City") in order for the Buyer to
obtain other permits or allowances, such as connection to the City's water and
sewer systems and occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller has

set forth by the Project Plan and shall also review and accept the final site plan
and building façade treatments prior to construction.
iii.City Regulations for Central Business District. In its development of the Property,
Buyer shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including, but
not limited to, the applicable requirements of the City of South Bend Zoning

Amendment is executed by the last signatory hereto (the “Project
Commencement Date”).
vi.Completion of Development. Buyer shall complete the improvements to the
Property, which are referred to in Section 12.A.i., of the REPA, by the last day of

3
ii.Recordation. The Parties shall promptly record the Certificate of Completion upon
issuance. Buyer shall pay the cost of recordation.
4.Section 12.C. of the REPA shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
iii. Reversion. The Parties acknowledge that the sale price of the Property does not reflect
the fair market value thereof as of the date of the Property's transfer to the Buyer. In
consideration for the reduced purchase price, the Buyer agreed to develop the Property,
which agreement was secured by a reversionary clause in the deed. Therefore, if Buyer
breaches its obligations stated in Sections 12.A.i., 12.A.v. or 12.A.vi. of the REPA, Buyer

taxes, outstanding on the Property. In no event shall Seller's payment to the Buyer exceed
Buyer's Expenditure. If the Seller does not pay Buyer the documented value of the
improvements, Buyer shall not be obligated to convey its rights and interests in the
Property to the Seller.
6.A new Section 21 shall be added to the Agreement as follows:
WAIVER
Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a Party to exercise any right,
remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver

(but not on any worker’s compensation policies).

respect to the Project reasonably requested by the Commission.
4.14 Other Incentives. The Developer agrees that, for its completion of the Project (as

consideration for the Commission’s commitment to perform and abide by the covenants and
obligations of the Commission contained in this Agreement.

Developer, at its sole option, may determine to pay to the Commission the amount of the
excess costs to permit timely completion of the Local Public Improvements by the
Commission, or an agent of the Commission, which amounts shall be applied for such
purpose. If Developer chooses not to pay any such excess costs of the Local Public
Improvements (above the Funding Amount), the Commission may reduce the scope of the
6
Local Public Improvements to the amount which may be funded with the Funding Amount.
In no event will the Commission be required to spend more than the Funding Amount in
connection with the Local Public Improvements.

settlement or final judgment including all appeals. Each Party shall select its own legal counsel
and retain such counsel at its own expense, and in no event shall the Commission be required to
bear the fees and costs of the Developer’s attorneys nor shall the Developer be required to bear the
fees and costs of the Commission’s attorneys. The Parties agree that if any other provision of this
Agreement, or this Agreement as a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.1, which shall
survive such invalidation, nullification, or setting aside.
SECTION 7. DEFAULT.
7.1 Default. Any failure by either Party to perform any term or provision of this
Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written
notice of such failure from the other Party, shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Any
notice given pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the nature of the alleged failure and,
where appropriate, the manner in which said failure satisfactorily may be cured. Upon the
occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party may (a) terminate this
Agreement, or (b) institute legal proceedings at law or in equity (including any action to compel
specific performance) seeking remedies for such default. If the default is cured within thirty (30)
days after the notice described in this Section 7.1, then no default shall exist and the noticing Party
shall take no further action.
7.2 Reimbursement Obligation. In the event that the Developer fails to complete the
Project by the Mandatory Project Completion Date , then upon the written demand of the

Improvements as of the date of the Commission’s demand.
7.3 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, none of the Parties shall be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or
failures to perform are due to, and a necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, strikes or other labor
7
disturbances, walk-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of terrorism,
restrictions imposed or mandated by governmental entities, enactment of conflicting state or
federal laws or regulations, new or supplemental environmental regulations, contract defaults by
third parties, or similar basis for excused performance which is not within the reasonable control
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
as may be mutually agreed upon by all the Parties.

(c) The Parties hereby renounce the existence of any form of agency
relationship, joint venture or partnership between the Commission, the Board of Works,

interested. No member, official, or employee of the Commission or the City shall be personally
liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the
Commission or for any amount which may become due to the Developer, or its successors and
assigns, or on any obligations under the terms of this Agreement. No partner, member, employee,
or agent of the Developer or successors of them shall be personally liable to the Commission under
this Agreement.
8.3 Indemnity. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Commission and the City from and against any third-party claims suffered by the Commission or
the City resulting from or incurred in connection with the Local Public Improvements or the
Project.
8
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by mutual

Agreement are likely to be complex and they desire to streamline and minimize the cost of
resolving such disputes. In any legal proceeding, each Party irrevocably waives the right to trial
by jury in any action, counterclaim, dispute, or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject
matter of this Agreement. This waiver applies to all claims against all parties to such actions and
proceedings. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by both Parties.

exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective
