There was a quorum present. 1. ROLL CALL Members Present: Mr. Ray Thomas, President Ms. Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer, Vice President Mr. Jose Alvarez, Secretary Redevelopment Staff: Mr. Don Inks, Director of Economic Development Mrs. Jenny Hullinger, Recording Secretary Mr. Larry Meteiver, Legal Counsel 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a. Approval of the minutes of December 19, 2012 Upon a motion by Carolyn Pfotenhauer, seconded by Jose Alvarez, and unanimously carried, the Authority approved the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of December 19, 2012. 3. NEW BUSINESS a. Authority approval requested for Resolution No. 179 approving the transfer of real property to the City of South Bend Mr. Inks said this is a transfer of a lot in the Blackthorn Corporate Park from the Redevelopment Authority to the Redevelopment Commission. This was plotted as one lot and Cressy & Everett has a business interested in purchasing a smaller lot. We have already approved subdividing the large lot into four smaller lots. The easterly lot, closest to the Blue Heron is the lot we will be selling. It is approximately 2.2 acres. The net to us is about $105,000 based on our contract price with Cressy. The company will provide dialysis service. There is a similar company at the westerly end of the park that does dialysis, but that will not present a conflict. Our intent is to come back to the Authority in a month or so and request a transfer of the balance of the Blackthorn Corporate Office Park land that is still owned by the Authority and transfer it to the Redevelopment Commission. The bond that purchased the land has been paid off so there is no reason for the Authority to hold the land. The property is to be deeded to the Commission when the bonds are paid off. The Redevelopment Authority December 26, 2012 Meeting Minutes Mr. Alvarez asked how many jobs would be created by this business. Mr. Inks thought perhaps less than a dozen, he was not sure of numbers at the time. Mr. Meteiver said significant equipment would be purchased for this high tech business. They will have high paying, high tech jobs. Mr. Inks said the cost of project is about $2M for a pretty small building. Mr. Alvarez hoped it would be local contractors who will be building the facility. Mr. Inks assumed they would use local contractors. Ms. Pfotenhauer asked if there was any interest in the other lots, and Mr. Inks did not know of any at this time. Upon a motion by Ms. Pfotenhauer, seconded by Mr. Alvarez, the Authority approved the Resolution No. 179 approving the transfer of real property to the City of South Bend as presented. 4. NEXT MEETING DATE: January 16, 2013 5. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Redevelopment Authority the meeting was adjourned at 10:40 a.m. *Rel s, President C Z A onald Inks, Director
