NEW BUSINESS d. continued... On motion made by Mr. Robinson, seconded by Mr. Cira and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the following Grant Bid Contracts as listed except that R. A. Stickler Contracting be deleted from the Helen Woodward contract and Charles Brown Maintenance Com any, Inc. be substituted, and that R. A. Stickler Con racting be deleted from the Navada Hugins con - tra t and Engle Construction Company be substituted. e. Com ission approval requested for Change Order No. 2 witf Diedrich Construction, for an increase in con - tra t price of $835.00, for an amended contract total of $7,778.00 at the address of 434 South Kale y, as set forth in a letter from Mrs. Kathryn Baumgart- ner, Director, Bureau of Housing. Mrs. Baumgartner explained that Diedrich Construction had employed an unlicensed individual to do the electrical work on the property. The Bureau of Housing discovered this and, as a result, required him to re- do all the electrical work performed by the unlicensed individual. He was then required to hire a licensed electrician to perform the work. When the licensed electrician went into the property, he discovered that the 100 amp service panel which exists in the basement was in fact very cleverly concealing a 60 amp service and, therefore, did not meet code. It will have to be corrected in order for him to get the certificate to get out of the house. I would like to make it per- fectly clear that all the work done by the unlicensed individual was removed by Diedrich while we watched. We also watched the licensed electrician re -do that por ion of the work, and that is all at Diedrich's expense. The change order is for 100 amp service and rewiring portions of the house. On motion made by Mr. Robinson, seconded by Mr. Cira and unanimously carried, Change Order No. 2 with Diedrich Construction for an increase in contract price of $835.00 was approved. 7 COMMISSION AWARDED NINE (9) CONTRACTS UNDER GRANT PROGRAM COMMISSION APPROVED CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 FOR DIEDRICH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR $835 INCREASE IN CONTRACT PRICE AT 434 SOUTH KALEY STREET South Bend Commission Rescheduled ledevelopment Regular Meeting - June 26, 1981 7. NEW BUSINESS f. Commission approval requested for multi-family Rehab Gui elines, in accordance with recommendation of Mrs. Marzy Bauer, Director of Community Development. Mrs. Bauer stated that the guidelines are for a new Community Development program designed to assist some structures that exist in the City which have more than fiVE units. We have done this in the past with specific allocations for the YWCA. We're trying to be a little bit more general this year in opening this up to other non - profit groups that might be running buildings of the sort that the YWCA does run. Basically we know that we can't always provide enough money to bring everything in the building up to code, so we are not requiring that in this case, we are only going to do re- pairs that they request, but we will require that the building is structually sound and that we are not in any eminent health and safety danger, because we don't want to go in and put in storm windows if the roof is goi g to collapse. On a motion made by Mr. Cira, seconded by Mr. Robinson MULTI- FAMILY REHAB GU1RE and unanimously carried, the Multi- Family Guidelines, LINES APPROVED AS PRESENTED as rresented by the Director of Community Development, BY THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY werE approved.

Mrs. Kolata explained that items (g) and (h) would be discussed at the same time.

We would like to have some discus- sior and we will take action on this at a later date. : South Bend edevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting - June 26, 1981 7. NEW BUSINESS g. and $. continued... Bas cally, we have been talking about doing some hou ing residential program in the Monroe - Sample are What we are requesting is permission to ent r contracts that specify certain roles for His oric Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and Southold Heritage Foundation. At the same time the City, through the Department of Redevelopment, wou d be assuming certain roles in that residential program. Basically, Historic Landmarks would do some coordination of work with architectural in- ter s who would - identify houses to be moved and ide tify new locations for those houses. They could recommend. exterior rehabilitation for exist- ing housing and they will also recommend designs for new construction for the area. They will do dra ings and a lot of design recommendations for the residential area. They will eventually do some mar eting brochures promoting the neighborhood and ass st in distribution of those brochures, and will be nvolved in providing technical assistance on an on- oing basis to Southold Heritage Foundation. Sou ter hoo the the Wes vid ing fin to per We DeD We cal the to t Lano tog( is expo the Hou: tha7 hold Heritage Foundation has expressed an in- st in operating a site office in the neighbor - and we would like to be in a position to assist in that manner. We would like . them to expand services that they are currently providing in the Washington Area to the Monroe- Sample Area by pro- ng counseling to area residents and that counsel - would include technical housing rehab as well as ncial assistance. One of their key roles will be oordinate the house moving, because of their ex- ise in moving houses in the West Washington Area. ould, in effect, ask them to handle that for the rtment. ntend to adopt design guidelines, some specifi- y for the residential area and different ones for industrial and commercial areas. We would like ork very closely with Southold and with Historic marks to establish programs and then to work ther on this to insure that whatever public money ut into the neighborhood is well invested. We ct that there will be a new housing program for residents of that area through the Bureau of ing. We have not yet totally identified what program would consist of.

I w uld ask the Commission to allow us to draw up these con racts, have them approved by legal counsel, and per aps approved over the telephone by a quorum, not including Mr. Nimtz. Mr. Nimtz explained he is a member of the Board of Dir ctors of both Historic Landmark Foundation and of Sou hold Heritage, so there is no way he can act on thi . The e were no objections to having the contracts drawn and Kevin Butler approving them and having a telephone app oval,so the Chair directed that that be done. Mr. Butler stated that the contracts should be ratified at subsequent meeting. Ms. Derbeck asked if the contracts would pay for the ser ices. Mrs, wou' an < tea( Lan( be tra( phol Soul pore off. wou' may[ Kolata stated that the one with Historic Landmarks d be approximately $5,500 and will cover the cost of rchitectural intern and someome with architectural hing experience to supervise the project. Historic marks will pay for a second intern since there will t least two interns working on the project. The con - t will also pay for brochures and for paper and ography supplies - things like that. As far as hold Heritage Foundation, we would be picking up a ion of the cost associated with operating a site ce and that has not totally been identified, but d include a staff, probably one full -time person and e one part -time. 10 South Bend F�edevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting - June 26, 1981 8.
