RE: Resolution for Professional Sports Convention Development(PSCD) Tax Area Expansion
Dear Council President McBride,
On October 27, 1997, the South Bend Common Council approved Resolution No. 2519-97, which applied
then existing statutory authority to establish a Professional Sports Convention Development Area ("PSCD
Tax Area") within the boundaries of the City of South Bend (the "City"). This PSCD Tax Area lapsed in
2017. During the 2021 Legislative Session, with backing from local leaders and community members, the
Indiana General Assembly amended the enabling statute (Indiana Code 36-7-31.3) to allow the South Bend
Common Council to reestablish the Tax Area and expand it to include additional properties which it did on
June 14, 2021 through Resolution no. 4917-21.
During the 2023 Legislative Session SEA 326 was passed and signed by the Governor on May 4,2023. SEA
326(i)increases the current cap of revenues to be paid to the City from$2,000,000.00 to$ 5,000,000.00(ii)
increases the PSCDA Tax Area to include City owned facilities such as the new City Hall purchased from
the South Bend Community School Corporation; Police Station; all Fire Stations Waste Water Treatment
Plant; and the Municipal Water Works Facility in downtown South Bend, and (iii) extends the enabling
legislation until July 1, 2044.
The attached resolution aligns with the newly passed legislation. This resolution does not increase taxes or
impose new taxes. Rather, the PSCD Tax Area allows the City to capture certain sales tax revenues and
income tax revenues (from the list of properties included in the Tax Area) that would otherwise be remitted
to the state. This capture of revenue is estimated to bring to the City up to $5,000,000.00 on an annual basis
for twenty years amounting to $100,000,000.00.
These revenues must be used in accordance with the terms of this resolution and Indiana Code § 36-7-31.3
and as amended by SEA 326 (which limits spending primarily to capital improvements for City-owned
professional sports and convention facilities).
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and Council meetings. It is
requested that this resolution be filed for hearing on June 26, 2023. It may be necessary to move that date to
June 12, 2023. If so, I or a member of the City Legal Department will provide advance notice of this date
change.
Thank you for your attention to this request. If you should have any questions, please feel to contact me at
574-235-9822.

FROM THE SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION, THE POLICE
STATION, ALL FIRE STATIONS, THE MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS BUILDING,
THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND THE EQUIPMENT SERVICES
BUILDING; AND TO EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE PSCDA FIRST
ESTABLISHED AND THEN EXPANDED BY THE RESOLUTIONS; TO MAKE
OTHER NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE CHANGES TO THE RESOLUTIONS
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, (the "Common
Council") on October 27, 1997, applying then existing statutory authority under Ind. Code 36-7-
31.3, approved a Resolution establishing a Professional Sports Convention Development Area
(PSCD Tax Area) within the boundaries of the City of South Bend, consisting of the following
specific sites: the College Football Hall of Fame; Century Center; Stanley Coveleski Stadium;
Moris Civic Auditorium/Palais Royale Ballroom; and the Studebaker National Museum, a copy of
which Resolution without exhibits is attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Original Boundaries"); and
WHEREAS, Stanley Coveleski Stadium is now known as Four Winds Field at Stanley
Coveleski Stadium, and the Morris Civic Auditorium is now known as the Morris Performing Arts
Center; and
WHEREAS, Ind. Code 36-7-31.3-8, the enabling statute for a PSCD Tax Area ("Enabling
Statute") originally identified the City of South Bend by population, i.e., as "a city having a
population of more than one hundred thousand, but less than one hundred ten thousand (110,000)."
It was amended by the Indiana General Assembly in 2021 to expressly identify South Bend by
name and included other specific sites which the South Bend Common Council was empowered
to add to the City's PSCDA after June 30, 2021. ("Eligible Boundaries"). The Eligible Boundaries
for PSCD Tax Area inclusion under Ind. Code 36-7-38.3-8(f) as amended in 2021 are comprised
of the Aloft Hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott South Bend, Downtown, the Doubletree Hotel,
Howard Park including its Community Center and the Howard Park Public House, and the campus
of Indiana University South Bend; and
WHEREAS, the Enabling Statute was further amended by the Indiana General Assembly
in 2023 through Senate Enrolled Act ("SEA") 326 which authorizes inclusion within the Eligible

Police Station, all Fire Stations, the Waste Water Treatment Plant, the Municipal Water Works
Building, and the Equipment Services Building. (Original Boundaries, Eligible Boundaries and
Expanded Boundaries by SEA 326 are collectively hereafter referred to as ("Eligible
Boundaries")).
WHEREAS, SEA 326 increased the cap on eligible Revenues to be retained by the City
of South Bend from $ 2,000,000.00 Dollars per year to $ 5,000,000.00 per year and extended the
expiration date to collect Eligible Revenues from the PSCD Tax Area Eligible Boundaries to July
1, 2044
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2519-97 at Section III contained a stated expiration date of
December 31, 2027; however, pre-emptive Indiana State law appears to have resulted in an
expiration date prior to January 2021, necessitating formal reinstatement of Council's Resolution
No. 2519-97; and
WHEREAS, Ind. Code 36-7-31.3-10 (e) authorizes renewal through June 30, 2044 of the
PSCDA beginning after June 30, 2023, to include the Eligible Boundaries as established by the
Resolutions, plus the Eligible Boundaries authorized by Ind. Code 36-7-38.3-8(f) as amended by
SEA 326 and further identified in this Resolution; and

reaffirmation and restatement of the Resolutions to be in the best interest of the City of South Bend
and its citizens.

within SEA 326 contain criteria for inclusion of additional facilities within the boundaries of the
