Mr. Hunt explained that the amendments for the Development Plan involve the Design Review Committee and the addition of parcels to the acquisition list. The Design Review Committee is being revised to have a core of five members: the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Department, City Engineer, Director of St. Joseph County Area Plan Ccm.ussion, City Buildina Commissioner and the 1 member ap inted by the Redevelopment Commission. To this core, two people will be appointed by the Commission to represent the East Bank Development Area and they will vote on all matters in the East Bank Development Area. There will be chaAges in the Monroe Park & R -66 plans to add 2 members fr (xi each of those areas and therefore consolidate these Des gn Review Committees into one. Alsol if additional redevelopment areas are designated they would have two people appointed to the Committee. Mr. Pitts gave an overview of the parcels that would be added to the acquisition list. He stated that we are adding parcels 1 -4, 1 -5, 1 -6, 1 -7, 1 -8, 1 -9, 1 -10, 1 -11, 1-19, 1 -20, 1 -21, 1 -22, 1 -23, 1 -24, 2 -15, 2 -16, and 4 -1.

Approximately 50% of that money has been set aside for Redevelopment Ccu mission use in the East Bank Development Area and the remainder of the 108 loan guarantE money has been set aside for projects in the Central BusinE District.

BANK DEVELOPMENT AREA TO BE BLIGHTED d. Staff report on receipt of proposals for relocation of AND AMENDING THE bui ding currently located at 115 N. Niles Avenue. DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS APPROVED Mr. Hunt reported that we did not receive any response to our request for proposals. The request for proposals out fined strict terms and conditions in terms of dis- assembling, moving and reassembling that building in the Monroe Park Industrial Area. It seems that we now have three options before us: (1) to seek proposals that would allow the private sector to move that build- ing anywhere within the limits of the City of South Bend; (2) to have Redevelopment involved in the move to the Monroe Park area on a speculative basis; or (3) to look at it in terms of salvage value. We are not making any recommendations because we haven't had a chance to look at the figures and cost estimates in terms of moving, diassembling and reassembling that building as can red to new construction. I think our initial fee ing is that they are pretty close when compared. At e next meeting we should be able to give you an id as to what we are goinq to do. It was decided to readvertise for proposals for any STAFF REPORT GIVEN site within the City of South Bend. ON RECEIPT OF PRO - POSALS FOR THE e.
