Mr. Hunt noted that Commission approval was
re ested for approval of a lease with Kawneer
Com y, Inc., the parent company of South
Ben Screw Products. He explained that we
have acquired the property in the East Race
are and have developed a standard lease with
South Bend Screw Products.
Mrs Kolata explained that the lease begins
immediately but the first payment of rent will
not cane until 60 days from the first of the
month after the purchase of the property, which
would be June lst. The payments will go into
an escrow account and if they relocate within
the City limits by July 31, 1983 the lease pay-
men :s will be paid back to them. If they do
not relocate by July 31st but are underway in
tenns of relocating, we will make some pro -
vis ons to allow them to get their money back.
The other major provision in the lease is that
on or about August 1, 1983 there will be some
cut in electric service to the property because
of the East Race construction and South Bend
Screw Products will assume all responsibility
for maintaining electrical service after
Au st lst.

Ms. Auburn and unanimously carried the lease
wi Kawneer Company, Inc., located at 340 East

- March 25, 1983
(Cont.)
Mr. Herman Lee explained that the petition
is for 1116 South Main Street which is within
a abatement impact area. It is a mini-
mall project and the petitioners have located
their liquor store in the project and are in
the process of leasing the remaining space.
There are currently six permanent jobs, with
the possibility of more. There is no problem
with eligibility because the project is clearly
within a tax abatement area. However, there
was a technical problem, the project was con-
stricted prior to the petition being filed,
largely because of a misunderstanding between
the staff and the petitioner. For that reason
the staff recommends that the petition is for-
warded to the Common Council without recommend-
Mr. Larry Ambler, the petitioner's attorney,
was present to answer questions of the Commis-
Ms. Auburn suggested that as a staffing agency
for the Common Council, it is our responsibility
to have the procedural guidelines available for
veo le who cane in contact with our office.
Ms. Auburn made the motion that the staff report
be accepted by the Commission and it be referred
to the Common Council without recommendation for
their action. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Robinson and unanimously carried.
Mrs. De beck expressed her concern about the length
of times in reaching a decision on awarding the bids
received March 7, 1983.
Mr. Hun explained that there are several issues
involvel in this project such as including the
Studebaker Museum, financing, a possible UDAG,
public hmprovements, timing of the project and
use of tax incremental financing. He explained
that it takes some time to put a project such as
this tolether and it is not just going to be a
simple straight conveyance of property. He stated
that-there are a lot of things to negotiate that
will take time.
