COMMUNICATIONS There were no Communications. 5. OLD BUSINESS Ms. Auburn noted that Mr. Cierzniak requested permission to speak in response to Mr. Faccenda's remarks made at the June 24 meeting. JIM CIERZNIAK: On Friday, June 24, the South Bend Tribune had an article, headlined "Fuji Financing Expected to Draw Flack". There were a couple of paragraphs that caught my attention. They were comments by Commissioner Faccenda. I'll read them. Without the earlier remonstrance of Hall foes, the City might not have needed to obtain a letter of credit for the project. Without the unprecedented obstructions to the project we could have sold the bonds several months ago and saved a couple of percentage points on the interest rate. Our opponents have cost the city a great deal of money. Mr. Cierzniak continued: I was very surprised to read those comments because I couldn't imagine anything that we had done (or those of us who are opponents of the Hall) in the two months between March and the time of this article that would have held up the bond issue. I wrote this letter to Mr. Faccenda. I'll read the last three paragraphs. I thought that your charges at the June 24 meeting were inaccurate, mean spirited and gratuitous. Why you picked that time and place to attack those of us who have opposed this "white elephant in the making" remains puzzling to me. I want you to explain your remarks with -4- THERE WERE NO COMMUNICATIONS MR. CIERZNIAK RESPONDED TO COMMISSIONER FACCENDA'S REMARKS MADE AT NNE 24, 1994 MEETING South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) specificity. Indeed, how can our actions have "cost the city a great deal of money " when the Hall is one gigantic freebe for the city (except for $600,000 in infrastructure improvements). Congratulations, however, are in order: you got the Hall over the hump, even though Joe had failed in his greatest challenge as a salesman. I salute you. (I meant that sincerely. I really feel that you deserve the credit in getting that over the hump.) Mr. Cierzniak continued: Can you explain what you meant by "the opponents costing the City in delaying the selling of the bonds? Mr. Faccenda responded to Mr. Cierzniak. IL MR. FACCENDA: I'll be happy to answer that. I'm not going to debate you today, but I'll be happy to answer. I gathered from the remarks you made and the letter you sent me that you don't disagree that money costs more in 1994 than it cost in 1993. And, putting that one aside, I suppose any home buyer would be able to testify to that for us. What we do disagree about is what is the cause for the delay in building the Hall of Fame. It was announced to be started in March 1993, but, in fact, didn't get started until March 1994. You've expressed the opinion, publicly and to the Council, that the reason for that delay was the Mayor's inability to interest corporations and individuals in investing in this project. In my opinion, the delay is based on other reasons. The fact that you and I disagree isn't important. It's certainly not important to the citizens of South -5- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) Bend. What is important is what each of us has done because of our differing viewpoints. In my case, I have spent the last 24 years going coast to coast trying to talk to corporations, employers, and investors in bringing their money to South Bend. And we've had quite a few successes. In fact, in my opinion, we are the envy of many similar -sized cities around the country. The reason I know that is because they come out here to see how we have done it —which is the first and most sincere form of flattery you can have. And it's because of our resources, because of the work ethic of our people, because of the atmosphere in this community —which I happen to be on the side that says it's great, it's not going JL down the tube like some other people have indicated. Going forward, I have promised the community —in essence, I've pledged to the other principles —that I will continue to work to try to raise money for South Bend and "bring the money to South Bend." During that 24 year period, I've witnessed controversies, many different controversies, starting with the controversy over the planning on the Century Center during the Lloyd Allen administration. Jack Colwell, I think, wrote a pretty good article about a week ago which outlines all those points, which I'm sure you are aware of. The essential ingredient of all of those controversies, in my viewpoint, is that they always stayed at home. They were always kept within this environment. And while we disagreed, we eventually ended up doing something. It (the disagreement) was only known to those of us living here. What is different about this current situation is that you have written hundreds of letters to potential investors in our ILSouth Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 14 5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) community, urging them not to invest in South Bend. In my opinion, that is unprecedented. It's never been done before. Now I can't prove to the world, or to anyone, that the delay of the year was because of your letters, but you have an opinion about the delay and, obviously, I have a different opinion. I think I have as much of a right to my opinion as you have to yours. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Public Hearing on Resolution No. 1272, a Supplemental Appropriation Resolution of the City of South Bend Redevelopment Commission. Mrs. Kolata asked that the following items be entered into the record: 1) an affidavit from the South Bend Tribune stating that the Notice of Public Hearing was published in that newspaper on July 1, 1994 setting time of Public Hearing as July 15, 1995, 10:00; a.m. ; and 2) an affidavit from the Tri- County News stating that the Notice of Public Hearing was published in that newspaper on July 1, 1994 setting time of Public Hearing as July 15, 1995, 10:00; a.m. There was no objection and the items were so entered. Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution No. 1272 appropriates $134,856.96 from the Airport Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Area. This money is proceeds of land sales that have occurred in the last couple of weeks. The money is to be appropriated for local public -7- outh Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 6.

Ms. Auburn closed the Public Hearing. b. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1272. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Piasecki and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1272, a Supplemental Appropriation ILI Resolution of the City of South Bend Redevelopment Commission. C. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1277 approving an application for personal property tax deduction for propertv located at 1145 -1305 Prairie Avenue in the Sample -Ewing Development Area. (South Bend Scrap and Processing Division Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the project. South Bend Scrap & Processing is a manufacturer of notched bar, ring, nugget and shot ingots through smelting and processing, and is a recycler of ferrous and nonferrous metals into reusable materials through sorting, torching, breaking, shearing and bailing. Their project calls for the purchase and installation of 2 hydraulic pedestal cranes and a wire line.

NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... speed up the feeding of the processing equipment and will reduce the noise that is currently associated with the feeding line. The wire will remove the insulation from copper and aluminum wire and then chop the wire to required sizes. This job is currently being done out of state. The projected costs are $465,000 for each crane and $350,000 for the wire line, with total project costs estimated at $1,280,000. The project will create sixteen new, permanent jobs within the first year, representing a new annual payroll of $380,240 and will maintain one hundred thirty existing, permanent full-time jobs with an annual payroll of $2,320,000. South Bend Scrap & Processing has been granted two previous real property tax abatements (a 10 -year abatement in November 1984 and a 3 -year abatement in October 1988) and is in compliance with the reporting requirements for those abatements. The property is properly zoned for the proposed use. The property is located in an area presently designated as a Tax Abatement Impact Area and is also located in the Sample -Ewing Development Area, a Tax Incremental Financing Allocation Area. The project qualifies for five years of personal property tax abatement under the tax abatement ordinance. 0 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... A review of the cost of this abatement shows that, with an estimated project cost of $1,280,000 and a constant tax rate, the property would generate approximately $123,277 over the five year period without abatement. With abatement, the project will generate approximately $21,859. Therefore, the cost of the abatement over the five year period will be approximately $101,418. Mr. Beitzinger noted that the staff has become aware that South Bend Scrap & Processing has been in violation of the City's Municipal Code pertaining to IL stationary noises. This has resulted in the withholding of their annual operating license. In addition, there is also pending litigation in an effort to permanently resolve the stationary noise violations. Upon resolution of the noise problem the annual operator's license application will once again be reviewed. Mr. Kerry Levin noted that South Bend Scrap feels that they are cooperating with the City to resolve the issue of the noise. They have cut back their production, at great expense, to try to resolve the problems. The new electric cranes are expected to resolve the issue, since they are much quieter than the present equipment. Ms. Auburn asked that the item be tabled until legal counsel has time to determine whether the Commission can legally grant a tax abatement to an unlicensed business. -10- ` South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 14 14 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... Mr. Levin responded that license renewal occurs at the end of January. South Bend Scrap turned in the application and the application fee. The City sometimes delays in completing its inspection. Therefore, there is a period every year when a business is technically unlicensed. Mr. Levin also noted that the City had completed its inspection (but had not issued the new license) prior to the April date on which the legal action was filed. The City is now holding up the license because of the legal action. The only reason the City was in a position to do that was because it was behind in issuing the license. He feels the City has been very unfair in this issue. Ms. Auburn stated again that she was not sure the Commission could legally approve a tax abatement for a business without a valid license. She recommended that the item be tabled. Mr. Donoho asked Mr. Levin if he would do the project without abatement. Mr. Levin responded that he would if he had to. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Faccenda and unanimously carried, the Commission tabled item 6.c. until the next meeting. d. Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1280 approving an application for real property tax deduction for property located at 4075 Ralph Jones 11111 ITEM 6.C.

(James and Linda Teske dba: Apollo Precision Machining, Inc.) Mr. Beitzinger read the staff report on the real and personal property tax abatements for Apollo Precision Machining. Apollo is a manufacturing machine shop. They manufacture parts from steel, brass, aluminum, plastic and nylon for the agricultural, dairy and flexible assembly industries, as well as supplying gauging components for the pattern industry. Apollo is capable of a broad range of CNC turning, CNC milling, drilling, tapping, honing and manufacturing parts from bar stock, castings, weldments and burnouts. This project calls for the construction of a 10,000 square foot building in the Toll Road Industrial Park. The estimated project cost is $250,000 to construct the building and $250,000 for new equipment. The project is essential to continue the growth of the business. The project will create an estimated six permanent, new jobs within the first year, representing an annual payroll of $150,000. The project will also maintain twelve full- time jobs representing an annual payroll of $250,000. Apollo Precision Machining has not been granted any previous tax abatement consideration. The property is properly zoned for the proposed use. The property is -12- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) d. continued... not located in a tax abatement impact area, but is located in the Airport Economic Development Area, a tax incremental financing allocation area. The project qualifies for three years of real property tax abatement and five years of personal property tax abatement under the tax abatement ordinance. Assuming a project cost of $250,000 and a constant tax rate, the new construction would generate approximately $37,160 in new taxes over the three year period without abatement. With abatement, the new construction will generate approximately $12,510. Therefore, the cost of the real property abatement will be approximately $24,649 over the three year period. Assuming new equipment costs of $250,000 and a constant tax rate, the new equipment will generate approximately $24,030 in new taxes over the five year period, without abatement. With abatement, the new equipment will generate approximately $4,261 in new taxes. Therefore, the cost of the personal property tax abatement will be approximately $19,769 over the five year period. Mr. Herendeen, representing Jim and Linda Teske, owners of Apollo Precision Machining, noted that Apollo had a desperate need to expand and was unable to do so at their current location on Western -13- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - July 15, 1994 6.

Mrs. Kolata noted that the Commission sold the property to Apollo; the closing was the week of July 4. They expect to be in their new building before the first of the year.
