The site has been vacant, undemtilized for many years and is currently owned by the city. As a side note, this proposed abatement is part of a support package partnering with The Monreaux for an Indiana Tax Credit application. You may recall prior abatements for Commonwealth at the Fat Daddy's site and Mutual Homes for a scattered site application. Unfortunately, neither of those projects were selected by the Cndiana Housing and Community Development Authority for tax credits. Likewise, this proposed abatement will only go into effect if this The Monreaux project is chosen by fHCDA in this year's competitive Tax Credit application round. This petition package includes: ►Department of Community Investment's summary report ►Petition ►Statement of Benefits forrn ►Supporting infonnation. The report contains the Department's findings relative to the above petition. The petitioner proposes to develop a 65,000 sq. foot. 4-story mixed-use and multi-family building with a I-story covered parking garage. The building will have commercial, retail space available on the I st floor with 60 apartment units comprising the remainder of the building. Of the 60 apartment units, 46 (77%) will be affordable to lower­ income residents. 20% of the total apartments will target households earning 30% of the average market income (AMI), 18% will target households earning 50% At\1[, 23% will have the target of 60% AMI, and 17% will have a target of 80% At\111. The project meets the qualifications for an eight-year (8) mixed-use real property tax abatement and a representative from the company will be available to meet with the Committee on Monday, July 25, 2022. Should you or any of the other Committee or Council members have any questions concerning the report, or need additional information, please feel free to email or call me at 235-5898.

I know that you're here to take my life;" and � instead of mental health professionals being summoned to the scene of a man with obvious serious mental health issues, the South Bend Police Department SWAT team arrived; and � within seconds of the SWAT team vehicle driving on to the field Dante's pacing quickened and shots rang out from the officers, killing Dante; and � people may draw differing conclusions from the witness statements, cell phone recordings and police body cam videos, the issue is not whether Dante was a threat to others, the issue is why were there no trained mental health professionals available to de-escalate the situation instead of several police officers with an overwhelming show of force and intimidation; and � it is well past time for our community to stop expecting police officers to adequately respond to potentially violent situations caused by individuals with known or obvious mental health issues; and � it has been recognized that fire departments, without guns or a focus on punitive action, are better than law enforcement in responding to mental health crises; and � such mental health crisis response teams currently exist within fire departments in several cities including Madison, Wisconsin, San Francisco, California, Eugene, Oregon, Anchorage, Alaska, and Chandler, Arizona; and � it is time to stop talking about the need for mental health professionals to be a part of a mental health crisis response team and to create and implement such a team within the South Bend Fire Department to provide alternatives to escalation, intimidation and deadly force; and BILL NO. 22-36 Sha ron L.

This authority is not limited to City ovmedCity-owned property or public rights-of-way. Yet we continue to see trees and shrubs in our neighborhoods which pose many different kinds of threats, both to public safety and to economic development. The purpose of these amendments is to change the discretionary authority of the Board to mandatory duties. The amendments also set more specific and mandatory time limits for notices to landowners and for remediation of the conditions. We hope that these amendments result in safer, more attractive neighborhoods which, in tum, will spur economic development.

If the landowner or other person entitles to exclusive possession fails to comply with a notice to abate a nuisance, including the cutting of grass and weeds and removal of weeds or rank vegetation, the Board of Public Works and the Department of Code Enforcement or its designee may enter the property and abate the violation. The purpose of these amendments is to change the discretionary authority of the Board of Public Works and the Department of Code Enforcement to mandatory duties. Nuisances occur on private property. We continue to see conditions including overgrown vegetation in our neighborhoods which pose many different kinds of threats, both to public safety and to economic development. We hope that these amendments result in safer, more attractive neighborhoods which, in tum, will spur economic development.

At the time of purchase in March 2019 the home was listed in MLS as a duplex,it was already in use as a duplex,it already had split utilities with two NIPSCO meters and two AEP electric meters.AEP currently sends separate electric bills for each unit. The two story property had two units.The upstairs had its own separate entrance served by an exterior stairwell featuring a living room,a kitchen,2 bedrooms and a bathroom.The downstairs unit had its own 2 separate entrances and featured a living room,a kitchen,2 bedrooms and a bathroom.The St.Joseph County Assessor's currently has the property recorded as a residential two (2) family dwelling as of the date of this letter. We are in the process of making cosmetic upgrades following the city codes and zoning requirements.We have followed protocol and had licensed contractor labor and city inspectors visit the home to clear and approve the upgrades.This is a reapplication request to the zoning board.At the time of the first application request our general contractor was in charge.We were unaware of the requirement to be present at the meeting in person.The general contractor in place assisting us with the application indicated the proposition was brought forth at the zoning board and was approved.It's unfortunate we were misinformed,but as the homeowners we do plan to attend the series of meetings as requested and see a successful conclusion to this matter.

Jefferson Boulevard, 4th Floor South Bend, lndiana 4660 l RE: ARP Revenue Replacement Appropriation Ordinance Dear President McBride, Filed in Clerk's Office [ u 1 g �ozz ] DAWN M JONES CITY CLERK. SOU _!H BEND, IN Signed into law on March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is a $ .9 trillion economic stimulus bill designed to facilitate recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting recession. The City of South Bend was one of almost 1,200 Metropolitan Cities across the country that received a direct infusion of resources as a result of th.is Act. The City's allocation totaled $58,910,047. Part of the City's plan to effectively utilize the American Rescue Plan funding is to increase flexibility in the use of funds by taking advantage of an allowable use of the funds-revenue replacement. In accordance with Department of Treasury guidance, the City calculated losses in revenue presumed to have been due to COVLD on an entity-wide basis. We found that the City of South Bend suffered a $26. l million reduction in revenue in 2020 and a $29.3 million reduction in revenue in 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, for a total revenue reduction of $55.4 million. The attached ordinance requests an appropriation for a portion of the calculated revenue loss to replace the lost revenue on governmental programs in the General Fund. Should Council approve this appropriation, the total amount of the appropriation ($46 million) would immediately fulfill the Treasury's requirements for ARP dollars. This will allow the City to continue to invest in neighborhood infrastructure, workforce development, and many other priorities in accordance with the ARP plan approved by Council during the 2022 budget process. The approval of this appropriation in no way changes the planned uses of resources or removes Council's important oversight role of these ARP funds. I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Counci.l meetings. It is requested that this bill be filed for I st reading on July 25, 2022, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading scheduled for August 8, 2022. Thank you for your attention to this request. [f you should have any questions, please feel to contact me at 574-235-9822. Regards, Daniel T. Parker City Controller BILL NO. 37-22
