RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT THE TAX INCREMENT WHICH MAY BE COLLECTED IN
THE YEAR 2024 IS NEEDED TO SATISFY OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMMISSION
AND THAT NO EXCESS ASSESSED VALUE MAY BE ALLOCATED TO THE
RESPECTIVE TAXING UNITS AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
WHEREAS, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the "Commission"), the
governing body of the South Bend, Indiana, Department of Redevelopment (the "Department")
and of the Redevelopment District of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "Redevelopment
District"), exists and operates under the provisions of IC 36-7-14, as amended from time to time
(the "Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Commission has previously adopted resolutions, which have been
amended from time to time, declaring various portions of the City of South Bend to be economic
development areas or redevelopment areas within the meaning of the Act (the "Areas") and
designated territory within such Areas as allocation areas (the "Allocation Areas") under Section
39 of the Act, which Allocation Areas are listed in Exhibit A attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, in accordance with the Act, has previously established an
allocation fund for each of the Allocation Areas (the "Allocation Funds"); and
WHEREAS, Section 39 of the Act requires the Commission to determine the amount, if
any, by which the assessed value of the taxable property in the Allocation Areas for the most
recent assessment date minus the base assessed value, when multiplied by the estimated tax rate
of the respective Allocation Areas, will exceed the amount of assessed value needed to produce
the property taxes necessary to make, when due, principal and interest payments on bonds payable
from the Allocation Fund, plus the amount necessary for other purposes described in Section 39
of the Act; and
WHEREAS, Section 39 of the Act requires the Commission to provide to the St. Joseph
County Auditor, the Common Council, the Department of Local Government Finance, and the
fiscal officers for each taxing unit located wholly or partly within the respective Allocation Areas
written notice stating (i) the amount, if any, of excess assessed value that the Commission has
determined may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39
of the Act, or (ii) that the Commission has determined that there is no excess assessed value that
may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in Section 39 of the Act;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission as follows:
1. The Commission hereby determines that there is no excess assessed value in the
Allocation Areas that may be allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in
Section 39 of the Act because the Commission hereby finds that, for each respective Allocation
Area, the assessed value of the taxable property in the Allocation Area for the most recent
assessment date minus the base assessed value, when multiplied by the estimated tax rate of the
Allocation Area, will not exceed the amount of assessed value needed to produce the property
taxes necessary to make, when due, principal and interest payments on bonds payable from the
Allocation Fund of the Allocation Area, plus the amount necessary for other purposes described
in Section 39 of the Act. Accordingly, for tax year payable 2024, the Commission determines
that no amount of assessed value of the Allocation Areas will be allocated to the respective taxing
units in the manner prescribed in Section 39 of the Act. In making this determination, the
Commission has considered the effect that such determination will have on the property tax rate
in the Redevelopment District.
2. This determination for 2024 shall not be construed to affect any future
determination of the Commission with respect to the capture of assessed value of the taxable
property in the Allocation Areas in the years following 2024.
3. The President or Vice President of the Commission is hereby authorized and
directed to immediately notify or cause to be notified the St. Joseph County Auditor, the South
Bend Common Council, the Department of Local Government Finance, and the officers who are
authorized to fix budgets, tax rates, and tax levies under Indiana Code 6-1.1-17-5 for each of the
other taxing units wholly or partly located within the Allocation Areas of the determinations made
herein by the Commission, by way of a letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B, which notice is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 39 of the Act. Further, the
Commission acknowledges that, based on its determination herein, no notice is due to the St.
Joseph County Auditor under 50 IAC 8-24(b).
ADOPTED AND APPROVED at a meeting of the
Commission held virtually and in person at 1308 County -City
Boulevard, South Bend, Indiana on the 8th day of June 2023.
