4. COMMUNICATIONS
a. Letter received November 28, 1977 from Norman D.
Clifton, Acting Director Community Planning &
Development Division of HUD in Indianapolis,
Indiana re: Urban Renewal Project R -66, Disposition
of Parcel 6 -1A and the remaining balance of Parcel 6 -1B.
Mr. Brownell indicated that this letter confirmed
receipt of our notification of disposition for the
above parcels and it has been filed appropriately with
HUD. Mr. Nimtz directed that this be received and placed
on file.
5. 1 OLD BUSINESS
a. In the case of Edith Hawley and Angela D. Berg vs. .
South Bend Department of Redevelopment and South Bend
Redevelopment Commission - Cause No. H -7875; in the
St. Joseph Superior Court, an order entered November
30, 1977 by Robert L. Miller, Judge of St. Joseph
Superior Court, which confirms the final action of
the defendants on Resolution 540 and 542.
Mr. Brownell indicated that in his 16 page opinion on this
case Judge Miller confirmed the final action of the
defendants South Bend Department of Redevelopment and
South Bend Redevelopment Commission on Resolutions 540 and
542 on the 30th day of November 1977. Mr. Nimtz directed
that this be received and placed on file.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Request for Commission approval of Change Order #1
to Contract No. NECD /PR /CS -2/14 with Charles Brown
Maintenance Company Inc. for an increase in contract
price of 1892.00 for an amended contract total of
X42,796.95, as set forth in letter from John E. Davis,
Project Director of North Housing Bureau,
Mr. Davis indicated that this change order occurred
because the contractor had torn . up the old floor for
the installation of the sub floor as requested in the
original contract. Upon doing so the contractor discovered
termite damage and that the rear portion of the house
had shifted at least six inches off of the foundation.
The front porch rafters and sheathing on the south side
of the house had deteriorated to the point that the
wood would not hold a nail. This was discovered because
in the original inspection the porch was to receive an
asphalt shingle roof. Mr. Robinson objected and
wondered why the faults could not have been forseen in
the original inspection, and why the long delay
between the actual inspection and the contractor's

6. 1 NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd
repair of the home. Mr. Harcus indicated that he had
personally seen this house and this truly was a case of
a bad situation in disguise. The shifting of the home
from the foundation could not be seen from the outside
and was truly visible from the torn up kitchen floor which
revealed termite damage to the floor joists. Mr. Robinson
was in agreement that this could be possible, but still
wondered about the great delay in repairs. Mr. Davis
indicated that the procedure has been cut down in time
considerably, but all bids have to be published _fourteen
days, bids evaluated, low bidder determined, cleared
by the Advisory Board, the Redevelopment Commission and
then if the amount is over what is allowed by the Common
Council, approval of the contract must be sought from the
Council. Mr. Davis indicated that because of the volume
of paper work many contractors are discouraged and it does
take extra time. Mr. Robinson moved for approval of the
change order, seconded by Mr. Cira and carried.
b. Commission approval is requested of the following
bid contracts:
B.W. Electric Company
R.A. Stickler Plumbing
Area Services, Inc.
Charles Brown Maintenance
Mr. Brownell read the necessary
above bids on contracts and the
were made by the Commission:
$11,461.00
4,839.00
2,100.00
§52,157.00
bid tabulations for the
following determinations
Mr. Robinson moved the approval of the B.W. Electric
Company bid as seconded by Mr. Cira and carried.
Mr. Cira moved the approval for the Stickler Plumbing
bid seconded by Mr. Robinson and carried.
Mr. Robinson moved the approval of the Area Services bid,
seconded by 1_!.4r. Cira and carried.
Mr. Cira moved the approval of the bid by Charles Brown
Maintenance seconded by Mr. Robinson and carried.
Mr. Robinson made the point that if at any time a particular
bidder is substantially busy with contracts, that the next
lowest bidder should be allowed to receive a bid to facilitate
prompt repair of the homes involved.

PROGRESS REPORTS
There being no progress reports for this meeting, Mr.
Brownell indicated there were two matters that he would
like to bring to the attention of the Commissioners.
Redevelopment is requesting a check for $940,677.00 to
be sent to the Bankers Trust Company in New York in
connection with the payment of the project notes as the
Commission approved in a claim brought before them
this morning. We expect to receive this check by
Tuesday and mail it in. HUD will send $1,100,000 and
Banker's Trust Company will provide $2,195,145.00.
Mr. Brownell indicated the receipt of IRREVOCABLE
COMMERCIAL LETTER NO. 1947 OF CREDIT from the St.
Joseph Bank & Trust Company on behalf of the investors
for the Century Mall project in the amount of $45,000.00
indicating the South Bend Department of Redevelopment
as beneficiary as part of the agreement signed by the
investors to insure our receipt of $45,000.00 in case
of default of the agreement. Mr. Nimtz requested that
this letter of credit from St. Joseph Bank & Trust for
and on behalf of the investors be accepted and approved,
notion made by Mr. Robinson for acceptance and approval,
seconded by Mr. Cira and unanimously carried by the Commission.
Mr. Brownell revealed at this time some renderings of the
'Midway Motor Lodge and Hoffman House Restaurant he had
received this morning from Mr, Gordon Medlock. Mr.
Brownell indicated that the structure would house 61 rooms
in a two story level with a sky dome swimming pool and
another three story level would have 90 rooms. The
restaurant appears to be one level and adequate parking has
been scattered around the entire complex. The developers
have requested an easement on Columbia Street which has
not been approved. 'Mr. Medlock insisted that this not be a
:formal announcement of the building of this complex, they
have applied to the Department of Buildings for permits,
and the Fire Department has been inspecting the plans. Our
Design Review Committee has tentatively approved this plan
subject to knowledge of complete financing plans.
Mr. Nimtz announced that the next regular Redevelopment
Commission meeting would be on December 16, 1977 at 10:00 a.m.
Mr. Cira moved for adjournment seconded by Mr. Robinson
and carried. The meeting adjourned at 10,45 a.m.
