6. NEW BWSINESS
Mr. E lison: There are two items I wish to present to the APPROVAL OF
Commi sion this morning. First, as you may recall, some A REVIEW
time igo, we ordered appraisals done on the following parcels: APPRAISAL OF
2 -13, 4 -1, 4 -31, 4 -32, 8 -9, and 8 -11. These appraisals are SIX PARCELS
curre tly completed, but are in need of a review appraisal.
Mr. Brownell has made contact with Mr. Nicholas Jannotta
regarding a review appraisal. However, staff does not have
a contract drawn up for your approval at this time.
Mr. Dave Anderson: Are these the parcels for the "hole"
proje t, or rather the First Bank Project?
Mr, E lison: Yes. There are three parcels having to do with
the "hole" project which have to be reviewed. The other
parce s are North of the "hole ", or in front of the Morris Civic,
and two parcels are down in the Block South of Wayne Street near
the movie theatre.
7. PROGRESS REPORTS
Mr. Ellison:
As I have
already stated publicly, the end of the
DISCUSSION
litigation
is certainly
significant from the Commission's stand-
CONCERNING
point
The unanimous State Supreme Court decision should
"END" OF
build
public confidence
in the Commission's ability to execute
LITIGATION
the m
ll and related projects.
It is our desire to proceed in
an or
erly fashion with
the mall project. Certainly the end of
the litigation
suggests
the ability on our part to proceed
affir
atively to fulfill
our obligations to the investors involved
with the
project.
Ms. Dorbeck: How many parcels have you purchased?
Mr. Ellison: Six parcels of eighteen.

7. PROGRtSS REPORTS (Continued)
Mr. Ellison: I do have another progress report. During the
month of December, mention was made at the Commission meeting
of the Federal Government's interest in the bus lot for a
federal facility. I want to point out to the Commission that
since then I have been contacted by the General Services Admin-
istration regarding the lot. GSA is apparently interested in
some Sort of affirmation on our part of interest in arriving
at an arrangement which will allow a federal facility to be
constructed on that site. In connection with GSA's statutory
procedures, they have placed an ad in the South Bend Tribune
soliciting property to be acquired. Since my last contact
with GSA, I have researched problems connected with what
GSA wants to do. I would like to advise the Commission that
one o the things I intend to do between today and January 12
is to visit GSA to determine what technique they wish to
utili e to acquire property.
8. NEXT gOMMISSION MEETING:
The n�xt regularly scheduled Commission Meeting will be held
on Ja uary 19, 1979, at 10:00 a.m.
9. ADJOU
There being no further business to come before the Commission,

secon ed by Mr. Donaldson, and the motion was unanimously
carri d. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
