Mrs. Kolata asked that the proofs of publication from the South Bend Tribune and Tri- County News showing that the Notice of Hearing was published on March 3, 1995, be entered into the record. There was no objection and the items were so entered. Mrs. Kolata noted that the Public Hearing will consider Substitute Resolution No. 1333. Mrs. Kolata explained that Substitute Resolution No. 1333 establishes an enterprise fund for the purpose of receiving the revenue and out of which to pay expenses related to Blackthorn Golf Course. The attachment to Resolution No. 1333 shows the broad categories of the operating budget. The five major expense categories are: Golf Course Maintenance, Administration, Golf Operations, Food and Beverage, Management. The attachment also shows total expenses and net income. The total revenues for 1995 are projected at $1,619,800. Total expenses are projected at $1,248,980. The net income of $370,820 is prior to making the debt service payment. 6. NEW BUSINFSS (Cont.) -5- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 a. continued... Mrs. Kolata noted that we intend to appropriate the funds by broad categories, but the detailed line items are also shown in the attachment. The change made to Substitute Resolution No. 1333 was the addition of language confirming that the distribution of any net profits after all expenses, including debt service, are paid will be according to the terms of the Joint Development Agreement with the St. Joseph County Airport Authority. Mr. Faccenda opened the Public Hearing for PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 1333 anyone who wished to speak.

Mr. Faccenda closed the Public Hearing. b. Commission approval requested for (Substitute)Resolution No. 1333. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Substitute Resolution No. 1333 appropriating monies for the purpose of defraying the expenses of certain local public improvements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1995 and ending December 31, 1995 including all outstanding claims and obligations, fixing a time when the same shall take effect, and establishing certain enterprise funds. 6.

Staff report on disposition of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area. Mrs. Kolata noted that the staff has received two proposals for the site of the former Transwestem Building. She read the staff report on the proposal from Design Packaging. On January 28, 1994 the Redevelopment Commission sent a purchase offer in the amount of $275,000 for the property at 600 North Niles Avenue that is owned by Design Packaging, Inc. This property includes a 22,641 s.f. building on a site of 65,340 s.f.. Over the last year the staff has had numerous discussions with Mr. Jack Smith, the owner of Design Packaging, concerning the purchase offer and future location for Design Packaging. On March 17, 1995 Design Packaging, Inc. submitted an offer to purchase Disposition Parcel Number One in the Studebaker Corridor at a purchase price of $55,000. Disposition Parcel Number One contains 131,678 s.f. (approximately 3 acres) and had a minimum offering price of $85,563. According to the proposal, Design Packaging would construct a 42,000 s.f. building to house the office, production and warehouse of Design Packaging, Inc. Additionally, the site plan would allow for a second building of approximately 20,000 s.f. to be built at a later date on the southern part of the site. The building would be constructed using a pre- engineered metal building and will have the front office area 6. NEW BUSEWSS (Cont.) -7- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 C. continued... covered with masonry veneer nine feet high, with masonry columns and a metal facade above the masonry, with arch top windows and doors and a covered main entry. The production and warehouse sections of the building will have earth tone metal siding, with six foot masonry wainscoting. The purchase offer was made with the following conditions: 1. Redevelopment accept a counteroffer in the amount of $325,000 from Design Packaging, Inc. for the property at 600 North Niles Avenue. 2. The purchase of Disposition Parcel Number One to Design Packaging and the sale to the Commission of 600 North Niles shall be structured as a like -kind exchange, pursuant to S 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, using an escrow agent. 3. The Commission will not pay any relocation costs of Design Packaging. 4. Receipt of tax abatement for the proposed new development. 5. Satisfactory documentation concerning the environmental condition of Disposition Parcel Number One. As mentioned above, the staff has had numerous discussions with representatives of Design Packaging and recommends 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 c. continued... acceptance of the above proposal with the following conditions: 1. The purchase price of $325,000 for 600 N. Niles Avenue should be paid over a four year period. The first year payment will be offset by a $55,000 credit for the land in the Studebaker Corridor. The balance of $270,000 will be paid in three annual payments of $90,000 each beginning in 1996. 2. Design Packaging will remove an Underground Storage Tank , remove an Above Ground Storage Tank, any barrels currently located at that location and leave the premises at 600 N. Niles completely empty. It is our understanding that construction of the project will begin in May and be completed by the end of this year. Mrs. Kolata noted that the underground storage tank was removed from the Design Packaging site last week. Mrs. Kolata noted that she received a telefaxed copy of a purchase offer for the same (Transwestern) site early this morning from the Studebaker Drivers' Club. The offer was presented to the Commission's real estate broker, Coldwell Banker, late in the day April 6. 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... In South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 The Studebaker Drivers' Club offers $85,563 for the site, conditioned on the purchase of both the South Bend Community School Corp (SBCSC) education center and the land and building known as Vandalia Station and also conditioned on the approval of the Studebaker Drivers' Club to be given on July 17, 1995. Jack Smith, owner of Design Packaging, noted that Design Packaging began operations in South Bend in March 1966. They have a second plant in Peru, Indiana. They manufacture corrugated cardboard boxes for industry within a 60 -mile radius of South Bend. Their product is manufactured from recycled paper and is, itself, recyclable. The manufacturing process produces no toxic waste. In 1991 the company began to look at its future space needs and contacted the Redevelopment staff because of the Commission's interest in eliminating the industrial land uses in the East Bank. Design Packaging and Redevelopment have explored several options since that time as possible locations for a new Design Packaging facility. Mr. Smith noted that Design Packaging has had an excellent record of keeping its grounds well groomed. Bipin Doshi commented that Schafer Gear Works is located across the street from the Tianswestern site. It has gone to considerable expense to set a high development standard during its expansion 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... -10- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 projects. They hope that whoever purchases that site will maintain the standard, both in building and landscaping. Mrs. Kolata noted that Design Packaging has indicated that it will landscape and maintain the south portion of the site that will be developed in the future. Mrs. Kolata noted that Design Packaging first became interested in relocating to the Studebaker Corridor in 1988 when it proposed to use a portion of the Transwestern Building when the Commission put the two ends of the building up for bid. Patrick Billey made the presentation on behalf of the Studebaker Drivers' Club. He noted that the Drivers' Club proposed a new Studebaker Museum over a year ago. The Transwestern site is needed for parking for the museum as well as "greenspace" for car shows and other civic uses. The City of South Bend has been asking the Studebaker Drivers' Club to take a more active role in the development of a new Studebaker Museum in South Bend. The Drivers' Club proposes to be an equal partner with the City and Studebaker Museum in a new, $10,000,000 museum. Mr. Billey noted that he has met with Dr. Virginia Calvin, School Superintendent, who was very receptive to the idea of selling the building to the Drivers' Club. When he met 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... Ste South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 with representatives from the City on March 14, he was told that there would be two obstacles to overcome: acquiring the SBCSC administration building and acquiring the privately owned Vandalia Station. He has also talked with the owner of Vandalic Station and entered into a verbal agreement to purchase that property. There was no mention by the City that they were working with another business for development of that site. Jon Hunt, Executive Director of the Department of Community & Economic Development, noted that, as the one person who sat in on discussions with all parties involved, he regrets that the Commission finds itself in such a difficult position. He indicated to the Studebaker Drivers' Club on March 14 that it was a great step forward for the Drivers' Club to become a partner with Studebaker Museum in fundraising for the new museum and by participating on the museum board of directors. Although he realized at that time that the Drivers' Club and Museum's first choice for a museum location was the school corporation's administration building (including plans for the Transwestern site), it is not the staff's policy to disclose negotiations it is involved in with other parties interested in the same site(s). He did, however, ask (at that meeting) if the Drivers' Club would continue to work with the City and Museum if the school corporation building was not available to them. The Drivers' Club said 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... IL -12- South Bend Redevelopment Commission qW Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 that it would, indicating, however, that its first choice was clearly the school corporation building. Mr. Hunt noted that on March 17 Design Packaging brought in a final proposal for the Transwestern site. That final proposal included some significant changes that addressed important issues the staff had had with Design Packaging's earlier proposals. Until March 17, the proposal from Design Packaging for that site was not final enough to make the staff confident it had a viable proposal for the site. Mr. Hunt indicated that he strongly recommended the Commission accept the Design Packaging proposal. He felt that, for the Studebaker Museum proposal, the addition of the Tra.nswestern site would be nice, but not necessary. Mr. Hunt also noted that the Studebaker Drivers' Club proposal has come forward too quickly. There has not been a study done on the costs that would be required for the rehab and adaptive reuse of the administration building. Ms. Auburn noted that she has served on a Joint Committee of the Studebaker Board and Redevelopment Commission to find a suitable location for the Studebaker Museum. The Joint Committee feels that the Studebaker Drivers' Club's involvement in the process (including membership on the 6. NEW BUSIWSS (Cont.) C. continued... IL -13- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 committee) is very important. She felt that the concept of relocating the museum to the administration building was an exciting one, but will require significant more time and energy to see it through to fruition. Ms. Auburn noted that, when Studebaker Museum rejected the idea of using the Tianswestern site a couple of years ago, the Commission and staff used due diligence to find another developer for the Transwestern site. Eugene Ladewski noted that he was not speaking to the Commission as a City Council member, but as a citizen. He supported the proposal of the Studebaker Drivers' Club. He felt that the Commission would be sending them the wrong message to turn them down completely. Studebaker Museum needs a solution to its relocation needs soon and the school corporation would have an opportunity to get out from under a building that doesn't meet its needs. Carter Wolf, Director of Center City Associates, suggested that both parties could sit down and discuss how they might both use the site. It is a very large site. Mrs. Kolata noted that the staff recommends selecting the Design Packaging proposal. It is a firm offer, negotiated over several months. It will be built in 1995 and go on the tax base. Also, it allows an incompatible use in the East Bank to move 6. NEW BUSEWSS (Cont.) C. continued... IL -14- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 out of the East Bank. The Studebaker Museum proposal has major conditions attached to it. It isn't even approved by the Board of the Studebaker Drivers' Club and wouldn't be until July. Mrs. Kolata noted that the Design packaging proposal still has a few details to work out, but asked the Commission to direct the staff to work out those details with Design Packaging and bring the final proposal to the Commission on April 21 for final approval. Mr. Faccenda stated that this community cannot afford to have the for -profit sector and the not - for -profit sector compete with each other. We need both. He suggested that the Drivers' Club and Redevelopment staff continue to look at options that would make the school corporation's administration building a viable site for the Studebaker Museum. He noted that Design Packaging's proposal is one of the first industrial uses proposed for reclaimed land in the Studebaker Corridor. That is what the Commission has claimed it intends for this land. Mr. Hunt asked that the Studebaker Drivers' Club not take any action by the Commission selecting Design Packaging's proposal as a rebuff. We want to continue to work with them to find a good location for the museum. 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) C. continued... IL -15- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission selected the Design Packaging proposal for the Tiranswestern site and instructed the staff to bring the final proposal to the Commission for approval at its April 21 meeting. Mr. Faccenda left the meeting and Ms. Auburn assumed the chair. d. Commission approval requested for Proposal from EIS Environmental Engineers for professional services in the Sample -Ewing Development Area. Mrs. Kolata explained that EIS Environmental has proposed to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the site of the demolished Tianswestern Building for an estimated cost of $1,500 to $2,000. The proposal from Design Packaging requested environmental information on the site. This would meet some of our obligations for that. The staff recommends accepting the proposal. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission accepted the proposal from EIS Environmental Engineers for a Phase I Site Assessment of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area. 6. NEW BUSINF.SS (Cont.) e. Staff report on acquisition of property in the Sample -Ewing Development Area.

Commission approval requested for Resolution No. 1334 rescinding Resolution No. 1330 and approving an application for real property tax deduction for property located at 2740 Viridian Drive in the Airport Economic Development Area. (Communication Best Design) Mr. Beitzinger read a memorandum regarding Resolution No. 1334 which changes the term of the tax abatement given to Communication Test Design from a three year abatement to a six year abatement. Communication lbst Design applied for real property tax abatement on March 14, 1995. In Mr. Beitzinger's discussions with the company prior to submission of the tax abatement application, he determined that the company best fit a warehousing operation. Using the warehousing qualification, the size of their building expansion qualified Communication lost Design for three years of real property abatement. Upon further review by Mr. Robert Bugge, director of operations in the home office in West Chester, Pennsylvania, a request was made to reconsider the petition under a manufacturing qualification Mr. Bugge informed me that although they do a lot of warehousing for Ameritech, the direct use of most of the building expansion will be assembly of underground 6. NEW BUSEWSS (Cont.) f. continued... -17- THERE was NO REPORT' South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 communications vaults for Ameritech. In considering this request, I wrote the State Board of Tax Commissioners, requesting a determination as to eligibility for personal property abatement. (The State Tax Board takes a narrower view of manufacturing companies. If they would determine them eligible for personal property abatement then they must also be eligible for real property abatement). The State Tax Board indicated that Communication Tbst Design does fit the State's definition of a manufacturing company and if they were applying for personal property abatement then they would have been eligible for abatement. The Common Council attorney was not opposed to changing the qualification. Therefore, Communication Tbst Design now qualifies for a six year abatement under the manufacturing section (sec 2 -82 Industrial Development City Wide) of Ordinance #8065 -90 (as opposed to the three years the company would have qualified for under the warehousing section). With a project cost of $1,232,000, the taxes generated, without abatement, would be approximately $372,586. With abatement, the taxes would be approximately $154,002. Therefore, the cost of the abatement would be approximately $218,584. Mr. Thompson noted that in his initial conversation with Mr. Beitzinger, he had Wed to explain what the building expansion 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) f. continued... IL -18- South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 would be used for. Approximately 25,000 square feet of the 40,000 square foot addition will be used for manufacturing. Mr. Thompson also noted that, since the Commission granted the three -year abatement, Communication Test Design has added three new full-time employees. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission approved Resolution No. 1334 rescinding Resolution No. 1330 and approving an application for real property tax deduction for property located at 2740 Viridian Drive in the Airport Economic Development Area.

(COMMUNICATION TEST DESIGN) THERE WAS NO REPORT South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting - April 7, 1995 loan agreements with the Commission to turn that property into low income rental housing. Under the Rental Rehab Loan Agreement 10 % of the loan is forgiven each year if the property meets certain requirements. If the property owner abides by the terms of the agreement for ten years, he would not have to repay any of the loan. By purchasing the property from the owner, the Commission prevents the owner from fulfilling the loan agreements and receiving the yearly waivers of payment. The staff feels that it is not fair that the owner be required to pay back the balance when it is the Commission's action that causes the terms not to be fulfilled. This Satisfaction of Federal Rehabilitation Loan Agreement releases the owner from further obligation. The balance on the loan is just under $4,000. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Satisfaction of Federal Rental Rehabilitation Loan Agreement and Release of Mortgage for Clarence S. and Thelma Allison. i.

Mrs. Kolata explained that Resolution No. 1336 transfers nine properties in the Southeast Neighborhood to the Board of Public Works which will then transfer them to South Bend Heritage Foundation for their Southeast Housing Project. Six of the properties contain houses. The Commission will retain the responsibility for demolishing those houses.

The contract required certain actions by April 1 which were not able to be met because the proposed user has not reached a decision on where to locate. Both Western & Michigan Partners and Western Avenue Partnership have requested a 90 -day extension on the contract. The staff recommends extending the contract until July 1, 1995. Upon a motion by Mr. Donoho, seconded by Mr. Hunt and unanimously carried, the Commission approved the Amendment to Contract for Sale of Land with Western & Michigan Partners, L.P. and Western Avenue Partnership for Parcels C9 -1 and C9 -2 in the South Bend Central Development Area.
