Joseph Molnar, Property Manager reported there was quite a bit of interest in the

record as well as the bid price. The bidder is Stoic Beverage Company LLC who

including production of vodka, rum, gin, whiskey and a variety of ready to drink

South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 9, 2024
6. New Business
A. River West Development Area
1. Agency Agreement Regarding Park Board for Garage Management
Joe Molnar, Property Manager, presented the Agency Agreement with Park Board
Garage Managaement, this item is in relation to part of the larger Beacon-GLC-
RDC Agreements. The agreements were approved in March and involved RDC
taking ownership of the Leighton Garage, which had been under the Board of Public
Works ownership, so the Commission could then lease the space to Beacon and
then eventually, the YMCA. Those Agreements also involved RDC acquiring the
garage at Main and Wayne St.
Mr. Molnar stated that all of the City’s other parking garages are either owned by
the Board of Public Works, or in one case, Transpo. Authority was given to the
Parks Board to manage those garages, who then negotiated the contract with LAZ,
who in turn manages the garages.
Mr. Molnar explained all this agreement does is mirror the agreement that BPW has
with the Parks Board and will allow the Parks Board to negotiate on behalf of RDC
so that they can negotiate one contract for all City-owned garages, presumably with
LAZ. Mr. Molar noted the Parks Board would have to approve this as well, and that
this agreement would not allow the Parks Board to manage any retail space that
would be included.
President Warner asked whether there would be any changes in two-hour free
parking.
Mr. Molnar answered such a change would have to go through Council. This
agreement would just be for the management of the actual garage.
President Warner asked whether the agreement regarding use of the garage which
Beacon had in place will also be the same with the YMCA as future tenants.
Caleb Bauer, Executive Director of DCI answered that there is a condition to allow
for parking for YMCA employees in that garage as part of the original ground lease
with Beacon. Beacon had the ability to reserve other spaces for fitness center users
at an agreed-upon price. That’s not part of the YMCA lease as it currently stands
but there are ongoing discussions regarding this.
Commissioner Jones asked whether the garage would take the old cards or if new
cards will be necessary.
Mr. Bauer answered the Beacon Health and Fitness cards would not work going
forward once Beacon vacates.
Mr. Molnar added that this agreement does not preclude the Commission from
making agreements with the Y as to the Y’s use of the garage. This agreement just
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 9, 2024
speaks to the actual management, such as making sure the lights are on, if there’s
a light broken who gets the lightbulb fixed, etc.
Vice President Relos asked what department will take on cost for these garages.
Mr. Bauer responded that’s a conversation currently happening internally. Mr.
Molnar added that the current LAZ agreement with the Parks Board includes cost
sharing, so they would get some of the revenue from the individuals who pay.
President Warner made a motion to approve the Agency Agreement Regarding
Park Board for Garage Management. Commissioner Jones seconded the motion,
and the motion was carried unanimously.
2. Development Agreement (Aunalytics)
Mr. Bauer presented the Development Agreement with Aunalytics and explained
representatives from the company were present to give a short presentation as well.
Mr. Bauer explained that Aunalytics was the first tenant in Ignition Park. They are
located off Ignition Drive and have office spaces in Catalyst One. This agreement
would help to assist in the expansion of Aunalytics’ data infrastructure as they make
the shift to providing data services that incorporate artificial intelligence. The
development agreement is for phase 1 of this expansion. Overall, it’s a total project
of $30-$36 million. Phase 1, which is a ten-million-dollar phase would involve the
acquisition of a graphics processing unit which is part of the server farm that would
be part of the expansion. It would create 25 new jobs as part of phase 1 and
Aunalytics, as part of the development agreement, is offering to provide discounted
AI services for businesses in South Bend and the surrounding areas, so regional
employers will have an opportunity to take advantage of the AI services.
Mr. Bauer further explained that the development agreement is specifically focused
on Phase I, a $10 million project. It would provide $1.5 million in Redevelopment
Commission funding to purchase equipment and materials. Those would have to
be procured through the public procurement process. The private investment
commitment would be $8.5 million with 25 new full-time jobs and a discounted
regional resources rate.
Mr. Bauer then introduced the representative present from Aunalytics, Rich Carlton.
Mr. Carlton explained Aunalytics’ goals in providing technology infrastructure
locally. He explained the company has historically focused on managing, storing,
and protecting data, but began focusing on the future with new technological
advancements, particularly Artificial Intelligence, or AI.
Mr. Carlton noted that when Aunalytics came before the Commission over ten years
ago, the hope was to create 15 technology jobs as part of a redevelopment
agreement. Today, they are at 240 employees, 135 of which are based in South
Bend. The average wage of Aunalytics employees is above 150% of the County
average wage. Mr. Carlton shared that Aunalytics also now has over 400
customers. He further explained that one of the goals of this project is to advance
the infrastructure, which will not only add competitiveness to our region, but it also
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 9, 2024
will add jobs for Aunalytics and the other employers in the region as well. Mr. Carlton
also shared that the larger $30 million project will be to continue to build within their
current building. He noted Aunalytics bought all the land next door to it as well for
future development.
Mr. Bauer shared that this project already came before the Common Council to
reconfirm the personal property tax exemption, which is a unique tool the State put
in place that allows a longer term standard personal property tax exemption.
President Warner made a motion to approve the Development Agreement with
Aunalytics. Secretary Sallie seconded the motion, and the motion passed
unanimously.
3. Second Amendment (Lafayette Building)
Mr. Molnar reminded the Commissioners of the Real Estate Purchase Agreement
approved in 2023 for the Lafayette Building. Mr. Molnar stated that since then, the
organization that entered into that agreement, Lafayette Opco, has been working
towards designing the redevelopment project as an apartment building with ground
floor retail. Mr. Molnar explained this work has led to a lot of testing of the building,
which is almost 130 years old at this point. Having apartments would be much
heavier than the original office use, so the developers are continuing to do their due
diligence on structural aspects of the building.
Mr. Molnar explained that this Second Amendment simply extends the due
diligence period to July 24, 2024. Mr. Molnar note that this work of determining the
weight that the building can hold would have needed to have been done no matter
who ended up with the building, so staff believes it’s valuable to get these
assessments done and ensure that they are done right. Mr. Molnar stated there are
no other changes that would be made to the original items in the purchase
agreement.
Vice President Relos asked whether there have there been any environmental or
structural engineering reports done on the building. Mr. Molnar answered yes, there
were slight environmental concerns, but staff believe they are manageable. Mr.
Molnar explained, right now, it’s just a question of whether the structure can hold
the load that they want to put on it, especially the lateral forces that will happen
when you add that much weight, especially to the top two floors. So, they’re working
with local architects or firms to determine it.
Councilman Wax asked whether all the other deadlines are tied to due diligence.
Mr. Molnar answered yes and explained that after due diligence, they would
proceed to closing, then the closing date would dictate other deadlines for
completion.
Secretary Sallie pointed out a typo in the memo for this agenda item, specifically, a
period in where it says “other changes” to the original purchase agreement. She
also stated she has an affinity for this building because of its historic association
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 9, 2024
with the City, and expressed she is hoping by this time next year the developers
are able to be up and running with the project.
Secretary Sallie made a motion to approve the Second Amendment.
Commissioner Wax seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
B. River East Development Area
1. Budget Request (Coal Line Trail Phase II)
Leslie Biek, Assistant City Engineer, explained they are working to finalize Coal
Line Trail Phase II. Construction has been completed and they are working on final
items. Ms. Biek explained this request is for a budget increase tied to the inspection
of the trail portion to evaluate additional services that were added to the project,
specifically a guard rail in need of repair. She noted they are excited to have this
project closed out.
Commissioner Wax made a motion to approve the budget request. Vice President
Relos seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
7. Progress Reports
A. Tax Abatement
Mr. Bauer reported that, as mentioned during the Aunalytics item, there was a
reconfirming resolution for the personal property tax exemption for Aunalytics for
their project. This was approved by Council at the last meeting, and now coming
up at the next meeting is a single-family residential tax abatement for Cross
Community as they work to build two more houses for two additional properties in
the near northwest neighborhood.
B. Common Council
Nothing to report.
C. Other
Nothing to report.

3. Old Business
A. Opening Bids (Claeys Candy)
Joseph Molnar, Property Manager Department of Community Investment, presented item
3A to the commission. We received one bid from Stoic Distillery Company for the
minimum bid of $382,000. It was not a complete bid, however. After review from staff, it
did not include some of the required items that were laid out in the disposition packet,
including an incomplete narrative description, no site plan, and the affidavit of non-
collusion was not complete. Staff recommended rejecting the bid as being incomplete
and not meeting standards. We would like to continue working with Stoic. One other
reason we would not want to accept the bid is that this time there would be no ability to
put any restrictions on the sale of the building. We want to make sure that if the building
is sold and the obligations are not met, there is potential recourse for the Commission.
Upon a motion by Vice President Relos to reject the bid by Stoic, seconded by
Commissioner Wax, the motion carried unanimously via voice vote; the Commission
rejected the bid for Claeys Candy
4. New Business
B. River West Development Area
1. Resolution No. 3601 (Disposition Offering Price River Glen)
Joseph Molnar presented his role as the property development manager. Office
on the 14th floor of the County City Building. For discussion is the beginning of the
disposition process for the former River Glen Office Park, which is made up of the
five parcels that you see here just to the South and East of downtown, along the
river. It includes about 5.25 acres. The RDC officially closed on the parcel in early
May of this year for $3.25 million, which was the purchase price. The staff and the
RDC desire a quick turnaround, with the intent to not own the property for long.
So, the first part of that process is, per state law, to open it up through the
disposition process with bids due June 20th. The average of the two appraisals
was $3,690,000.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Jones to adopt Resolution No. 3601, seconded
by Secretary Sallie, the motion carried unanimously via voice vote; the
Commission approved River West Development Area – Item A1. Resolution No.
3601 (Disposition Offering Price River Glen) submitted on Thursday, May 23,
2024.
2. Bid Specifications (River Glen)
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 23, 2024
Upon a motion by Commissioner Wax to approve the bid specifications, seconded
by Commissioner Jones, the motion carried unanimously via voice vote, the
Commission approved River West Development Area – Item A2. Bid
Specifications (River Glen) submitted on Thursday, May 23, 2024.
3. Request to Advertise (River Glen)
Upon a motion by Commissioner Wax to approve the request to advertise,
seconded by Secretary Sallie, the motion carried unanimously, the Commission
approved River West Development Area – Item A3. Request to Advertise (River
Glen) submitted on Thursday, May 23, 2024.
4. Mortgage Release (931 W LaSalle)
Liz Maradik presented a Mortgage Release (931 W LaSalle) to the Commission.
Before the Commission, similar items have been discussed a few times before.
The property is related to the City's Home Repair Program. In the past it was
offered with a loan and grant combination, and this is one of those loans that has
been paid in full and is requesting the Commission to approve the mortgage
release.
Upon a motion by Vice President Relos to approve the mortgage release,
seconded by Secretary Sallie, the motion carried unanimously, the Commission
approved the Mortgage Release (931 W LaSalle) submitted on Thursday, May 23,
2024.
B. River East Development Area
1. Budget Request (Demolition of Kelly’s Pub)
Zach Hurst presented a River East Development Area item B1 Budget Request
for (Demolition of Kelly’s Pub) to the Commission. The budget request for
$125,000 out of River East development area. This would cover expenses related
to the demolition of the former Kelly's Pub at 1150 E Mishawaka Ave. The intent
of this summer would be to demolish the building, remove foundations, backfill the
basement, and then seed the disturbed area and leave the asphalt parking in
place. The building is not currently occupiable.
Mr. Molnar stated there was a mass shooting at the site in 2019, where eleven
people were injured and one person lost their life. The location has a memorial
bench to the individual who lost their life. Staff has been in contact with the family,
specifically the mother. She wants the bench to remain. She understands, though,
that it will be removed for the construction. The bench will be put into storage in
the meantime, and then, once the streetscapes are finished, it will be one of the
benches that goes in. It has a plaque with his name.
Upon a motion by Secretary Sallie, seconded by Commissioner Jones, the motion
carried unanimously, the Commission approved the River East Development Area
South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting – May 23, 2024
item A4 Budget Request (Demolition of Kelly’s Pub) submitted on Thursday, May
23, 2024.
C. Administrative
1. Resolution No. 3600 (Determining Tax Increment to be Collected in Year
2025)
Danielle Campbell Weiss, Senior Justice City Attorney, presented the
Administrative Item C1 Resolution No. 3600 (Detering Tax Increment to be
Collected in Year 2025) to the Commission. This is just one of those things the
Commission has to do every year, and by law, this comes every May or June. The
resolution is authorizing that a letter can be sent. The letter will say that the
Commission has determined there is no excess assessed value that may be
allocated to the respective taxing units. One error was noted. The date needs to
be corrected to today instead of the last meeting date. It says it should say May
23rd, so it should be corrected for the signed version.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Wax to adopt the resolution, seconded by Vice
President Relos, the motion carried unanimously via voice vote; the Commission
approved the Administrative Item C1 Resolution No. 3600 (Determining Tax
Increment to be Collected in Year 2025) submitted on Thursday, May 23, 2024.
5. Progress Reports
A. Tax Abatement
• President Warner gave a tax abatement update. Council approved for Cross
Community a tax abatement for a lot on Harrison St next to a couple other homes
that they've already done. The declaratory resolution was reviewed in the last
meeting. The council meeting addressing the confirming resolution will be Tuesday
instead of Monday due to Memorial Day.
B. Common Council
• None
C. Other
• Mr. Molnar noted that on the Diamond View project there is some construction
fencing going up. Construction is expected to start within the next few weeks. They
had to redesign the building slightly at the last minute to address utilities. They
have got the permit for their foundations. Caleb met Real America last week. It is
understood that they have to be open by the end of 2025, at least for the LIHTC
portion of the agreement with them. The time limit was within 36 months of closing,
and it was closed in February.

FROM: Joseph Molnar
SUBJECT: 1st Amendments Lease Agreement & Donation Agreement
YMCA
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Separate approval of Separate Amendments to the Donation Agreement and
Lease Agreement with the YMCA
On April 25th 2024, the RDC approved two separate agreements with the YMCA of Greater Michiana for
the lease of the 3, 4, 5 floors of the Leighton Healthplex Building and the donation of the former YMCA
on Northside Blvd. to the RDC. The Donation Agreement was for eight separate parcels which made up
the former Northside Blvd. YMCA. In exchange for the donation of those eight parcels, the YMCA would
lease their space rent-free and would pay 1/3 of the total utility costs for the Leighton Building during
the term of the lease, which extends through December 31, 2032. The YMCA officially opened the full-
service fitness center on June 10th, 2024.
During Due Diligence, it was discovered that one of the eight donation parcels had concerns regarding
the Title Work and would not be easily transferred to the RDC. To ensure that the RDC took ownership
of the former YMCA Northside property in a timely manner, the proposed amendments remove the
subject parcel and reduce the rental term length in a corresponding manner. The parcel in question
constitutes a little less than 1/8th of the total former YMCA Northside property. The Lease Agreement
Amendment changes the rental period to extend through December 31, 2031, which is a little less than
1/8th of the original term. No other changes are made to either original agreement besides extending
the time for closing on the Northside property.
Staff requests approval of both amendments.

SUBJECT: Purchase Agreement –
Allen Edwin/SCI South Bend
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Approval of Purchase Agreement for Marion/Leland Properties
In 2023, the RDC accepted bids for a variety of properties through a large Request for Proposals. During
that process, Allen Edwin submitted interest in current RDC owned property at the Marion/Leland
intersection. After opening of the submissions, the RDC directed staff to negotiate with Allen Edwin for a
purchase agreement regarding the development of land at Marion/Leland.
The following Purchase Agreement is the result of that negotiation. The buyer commits to a reduced
sales price of $1,000 and in exchange agrees to within thirty-six (36) months after closing, expending no
less than $2,400,000 on the construction of seventeen (17) housing units. The buyer commits that
construction will begin within twelve (12) months of closing. RDC staff believe this is an exciting
opportunity to see even more growth of housing opportunities in the Near Northwest Neighborhood as
well as the introduction of a new home builder to the City of South Bend.
Staff requests approval of the Purchase Agreement.

Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: 3rd Amendment Purchase Agreement for the Lafayette Building and 117/119
Lafayette for the purpose of restoration and redevelopment.
Specifics:
On September 28, 2023 the RDC and Lafayette OpCo LLC entered into a Purchase Agreement
for the Lafayette Building and adjacent parking lot. Since then, Lafayette OpCo has been doing
due diligence on the building including extensive architectural review, building conditions
reports, and environmental review. The due diligence period was extended twice in two
separate amendments since the initial agreement.
Lafeyette OpCo has requested the due diligence period be extended to December 31, 2024, to
finalize all analysis of the building. This due diligence is collecting vital information regarding
the building such as its current structural capacity which is needed no matter what type of
renovation would potentially occur. Staff believe it is in the City’s best interest to allow these
structural investigations to continue. No other changes are being made to the original purchase
agreement.
Staff requests approval of this Agreement.

SUBJECT: River Glen Office Park Purchase Agreement
Funding Source* (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General
*Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
Purpose of Request: Approval of real estate purchase agreement for the $2.43M purchase of the
Grand Hall and Parking Lot of Union Station, sale of former Claeys Candy building, and
Development Agreement for the stabilization of the Studebaker Administration Building
Specifics: The Department of Community Investment requests approval of the purchase of the
purchase of the 0.95 acres that includes the Grand Hall and Parking Lot of Union Station for a
purchase price of $2.43M (which reflects the average of two independent appraisals). The
administration believes that ownership of this historic building is a good long-term investment
for the Commission and could facilitate passenger rail connections in partnership with Amtrak in
the near future.
Related to the purchase, staff also request approval for a sale of the former Claeys Candy
building for $1,000 to allow for its activation as part of a new data center owner at the remaining
Union Station property.
Separately but related, staff propose approval of a Development Agreement with Studebaker
Admin QOZB LLC for the stabilization of the Studebaker Administration building. The Commission
would commit no more than $825,000 for lead and asbestos identification and abatement to be
paired with a private investment commitment of $3.3M. Though this agreement does not fully
activate the building, it will stabilize and preserve it and ensure that it can be redeveloped in the
future.
