carried, the Authority approved the Minutes of the Special. Meeting of June
17, 1988.
3. .Adoption of Resolution No. 9, a Resolution of the South Bend Redevelopment
Authority approving an Official Statement relating to the issuance of the
South Bend Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental Revenue Bonds (Parking
Facility Project) and authorizing distribution of information.
Mrs. Kolata explained that the Official Statement contains a summary of the
Notice to Sell the bonds, the official Notice, attachments which. describe
the lease between the Redevelopment Commission and Redevelopment Authority,
the Trust Agreement with First Interstate Sank and what accounts will be set
up, etc.. It provides information on the project itself and how the bond
proceeds will be. used. It also provides information on where potential
bidders can obtain additional information on the bond issue. The contact
for that purpose is Springsted Inc.
Mrs. Kolata noted that the Official Statement indicates in one place that
funds for payment of the lease will be generated by property taxes collected
by the Redevelopment Co~unission. But under the Security and Financing
section it indicates that the Commission intends to reduce tax levies to the
extent funds are available from the three primary sources intended to be
used to pay the lease. It states that sufficient funds are expected to be
• available from these sources to make the payments without taxation. This
reassures the bidders of the low risk they are taking in buying the bonds.

a.m. on July 19. They will then be given at least 24 hours notice of the

Mrs. Kolata noted that two paragraphs were telefaxed to us last night to add
to the Official Statement for .the parking facility. The first points out
the risk factor if the garage is not completed. The other includes more
detail as to-what is; included in the project cost and indicates who was
awarded the contract for construction. There is also a correction to the
statement "a Notice to Proceed with construction of the facility is expected
to be given no later than July 19" should read "no earlier than July 19,
1988." She indicated that these changes will be made to the final version
