RESOLUTION NO. 3583
A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
APPOINTING AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES TO CONDUCT CERTAIN
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTS RELATING TO REDEVELOPMENT PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the "Commission") is the
governing body of the City of South Bend Department of Redevelopment established under the
Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as amended, being I.C. 36-7-14-1 et seq. (the
"Act"); and
WHEREAS, I.C. 36-7-14-12.2 provides that the Commission may acquire, hold, use, sell,
exchange, lease, rent, or otherwise dispose of property for the purposes set forth and described in
I.C. 36-7-14; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners have the authority under I.C. 36-7-14-8(g) to adopt such
rules and bylaws as they consider necessary for the proper conduct of their proceedings and the
carrying out of their duties and the safeguarding of money and property placed in their custody;
and
WHEREAS, the Commission owns, manages, leases, and sells property within the
boundaries of the City of South Bend (the "City"); and
WHEREAS, as a result of such owning, managing, leasing, and selling of property, City
staff members receive frequent requests to perform administrative functions on behalf of the
Commission, including but not limited to, the approval of plats, the release of obsolete financing
documents, the submission of forms to other various entities, and the execution of documents
related to the ownership, maintenance, and disposition of property; and
WHEREAS, the City's staff members are familiar with the property owned by the
Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Commission desires to expressly authorize certain members of the City's
staff to take such administrative acts and to execute such administrative documents as necessary
to provide for the proper maintenance and management of its property interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission
as follows:
1. The following staff members of the City are authorized to perform, on behalf of the
Commission, all administrative acts related to the Commission's owning,
managing, leasing, and selling of property, including, but not limited to, acts
relating to the disposition of property, the closing of a property transaction, a re -
platting process, a tax appeal process, the release of obsolete financing documents,
a petition or application regarding land use before an administrative body, or any
other review process, whether such process was initiated by the Commission or
another entity:
a. Caleb Bauer;
b. Sarah Schaefer;
C. Joseph Molnar; and
d. Erik Glavich.
Such authority shall include the authority to execute documents on behalf of the
Commission that relate to the completion of such administrative acts, provided,
however, that staff members are not authorized to execute any deed of conveyance
on behalf of the Commission. For purposes of this Resolution, an administrative
act is one in which the authorized staff member determines, upon the advice of legal
counsel, that said act occurs within the normal course of owning, managing, leasing,
or selling property and does not adversely impact an interest of the Commission in
light of the Commission's overall purpose and goals as set forth under the Act.
2. This Resolution supersedes Resolution No. 3554, and the authority granted under
this Resolution continues until further action of the Commission.
3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after its adoption.
ADOPTED at a meeting of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission held on
December 14, 2023.
