The November 26, 1990 meeting of the Human Resources &
Economic Development Committee was called to order by it's
Chairperson, Council Member Steve Luecke at 3 :45 p.m. in the
Council Informal Meeting Room.
Persons in attendance included Council Members Zakrzewski,
Duda Coleman, Luecke, Niezgodski, Puzzello, and Slavinskas;
Jon Hunt, Beth Leonard, Marsha Townsend, a member of the
news media, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
Council Member Luecke noted that the first item on the
agenda was to review Bill No. 92-90 which would transfer
$30, 000. 00 among various accounts within the Department of
Economic Development.
Elizabeth Leonard, the Director for Financial & Program
Management, briefly outlined the Bill. She noted that
$30, 000. 00 would be transferred from the FHA Lender
Certification Project into the Emergency Repair Program. She
noted that local lenders will be obtaining the
certification, so it was no longer necessary for HDC to
become certified as in FHA Lender.
Following discussion, Council Member Slavinskas made a
motion seconded by Council Member Duda, that Bill No. 92-90
be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed.
Elizabeth Leonard then reviewed Bill No. 106-90 which would
appropriate $2,741,479. 00 from the Community Development
Block Grant Fund for the purpose of defraying expenses of
the Department of Economic Development and designating the
sub-grantee agencies for program year beginning January 1,
1991; Bill No. 107-90 which would appropriate $321, 187 . 00;
and Bill No. 108-90 which would appropriate $53 , 464. 00 among
• various accounts within the Department of Economic
Development.
She noted that all three Bills are part of the process with
regard to the final statement, which was published earlier.
It was also noted that the Council had received a
substantial amount of information prior to this Committee
meeting on the proposed final statement. In response to a
question raised by Council Member Slavinskas, it was noted
that the HUD money typically comes in in March. Elizabeth
Leonard also noted that once the Block Grant amount is
received, that she will be back to the Common Council with
the final figures for approval.

Following further discussion, Council Member Duda made a
motion seconded by Council Member Slavinskas that Bill Nos.
106-90, 107-90, and 108-90 be recommended favorably to
Council. The motion passed.
Council Member Luecke then called upon Jon Hunt to review
Resolution No. 90-65 under Miscellaneous Business. Mr. Hunt
noted that this is a Resolution which would approve an Order
of the Area Plan Commission as well as a Declaratory
Resolution in the Economic Development Area Development Plan
adopted by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission.
He noted that basically it does three things, namely extend
the economic development area and TIF to incorporate the two
recent annexations; establish a Design Review Committee; and
ammends the acquisition list by adding ten additional
parcels to it. He noted that Ann Kolata would give the
presentation at this evenings meeting. In response to a
question raised by Council Member Slavinskas, it was noted
by Mr. Hunt that several discussions with many of the
owners, have taken place and meetings at some of the actual
sites placed on the acquisition list have taken place.
No formal action was taken on this Resolution.
There being no further business to come before the
Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 4: 00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Council Member Steve Luecke, Chairperson
Human Resources & Economic Development Committee
