REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY AND
MATTERS RELATED THERETO
WHEREAS, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the "Commission "), the
governing body of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "City "), Redevelopment District and the
City of South Bend, Indiana, Department of Redevelopment, exists and operates under the
provisions of Indiana Code Section 36 -7 -14, as amended from time to time (the "Act "); and
WHEREAS, the Commission did previously declare the South Bend Central
Development Area (the "Area ") to be a redevelopment area within the meaning of the Act,
approved a redevelopment plan for the Area (the 'Plan") and designated the Area as a tax
increment finance ( "TIF ") allocation area all pursuant to the Act; and
WHEREAS, Downtown South Bend, Inc. ( "DTSB ") is an Indiana non -profit corporation
created to further community involvement in the Area; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has acquired certain real property known as the LaSalle
Hotel (the "LaSalle Hotel ") and as part of that acquisition, the Commission acquired the personal
property located inside the LaSalle Hotel including certain furniture, more particularly described
in Exhibit A (the 'Furniture "); and
WHEREAS, DTSB has determined that the Furniture will aid it in its mission of
supporting community involvement in the Area by supporting entertainment for residents and
visitors of downtown South Bend and to the Area; and
WHEREAS, the Commission desires to dispose of the Furniture to DTSB without
compensation in order to make the Furniture available for use in furtherance of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Indiana Code 5- 22- 22- 1(c)(4), the provisions of Indiana Code 5-
22-22 do not apply to the disposal of personal property by a redevelopment commission
established under the Act; and
WHEREAS, Indiana Code 36 -7 -14 -12.2 allows a redevelopment commission established
under the Act to acquire by purchase any personal property needed for the redevelopment of
areas needing redevelopment that are located within the corporate boundaries of the unit, and
lease or otherwise dispose of such property on the terms and conditions that such redevelopment
commission considers best for the unit and its inhabitants; and
WHEREAS, because the Act lacks a specific process for the disposition of personal
property, the Commission desires to dispose of the Furniture by way of the authorizations
contained in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Commission hereby determines that the disposition of the Furniture to
DTSB without compensation is in the best interests of the residents of the Area and in
furtherance of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Commission now desires to authorize Scott Ford, or his designee, to
approve such documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of the Furniture to DTSB;
