1. Budget Request (SB Chocolate Dinosaur Museum Traffic Impact
Study)
Charlotte Brach, Senior Engineer, presented a budget request for
$14,000 for a traffic analysis. The initial traffic impact study with
Hanson stated that the signal was warranted and INDOT asked for an
additional study done at the 4-way interchange at the Olive Rd.
intersection. Dee Johnson asked if nearby businesses will be
impacted. Ms. Brach stated that Engineering is looking at this and will
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – October 24 , 2024

be addressed with the analysis and no timeframe is established yet.
INDOT would also need to be approved, and more follow-ups will be
presented in the future.
Upon a motion by David Relos for approval, seconded by Vivian Sallie,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the budget
request as presented on October 24, 2024.
2. Lease Agreement (Main/Wayne Parking Garage & SB Bike Garage
Inc.)
Erin Michaels, Property Development Manager, presented a lease
agreement for the Main/Wayne Parking Garage retail space at 119 W.
Wayne St. The agreement will be with the South Bend Bike Garage, a
nonprofit organization currently located at old St. Joe High School
building and their mission is to “get more people on bikes”. The term of
the agreement is an 18-month term without rent, an option to renew
the lease after the first term for two (2) years and rent will be
negotiated at that time. They will operate the garage out of this 1,680
square foot space. The floor plan and photos were shared with the
Commission. Commissioner Relos asked about the specific location of
the space and Ms. Michaels explained it is the smaller (eastern)
portion. Karen Hahn, Board Member for the Bike Garage stated that all
of the volunteers receive no compensation, and they will be losing their
current location. They give away free bikes to kids and rely on
donations. They provide an “earn a bike program” as well as an
elementary school program to help kids learn to ride and a junior
mechanic program. Commissioner Sallie asked if they had plans to
renovate and Ms. Hahn stated they have plans to paint the ceiling,
floors and possibly murals. Commissioner Relos asked about utilities
since the space has been vacant for decades and Ms. Michaels stated
that would need to be investigated as well as the restrooms.
Commissioner Sallie asked about insurance. Ms. Hahn stated that they
currently have insurance and Danielle Campbell Weiss, Assistant City
Attorney, stated that this is also a term of the lease agreement.
Commissioner Warner asked if the approved budget request from the
October 10th meeting for the attached parking garage had additional
portions for the larger western space. Caleb Bauer, Executive Director
of Community Investment, explained that the elevators are being
looked at for repairs, and the basement space and the larger space
would be good to eventually occupy. He stated that this space is not
very marketable in its current condition and the bike garage is a good
way to activate this retail space. Commissioner Relos commended
Karen Hahn for her community service.

Upon a motion by Vivian Sallie for approval, seconded by David Relos,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the lease
agreement as presented on October 24, 2024.
3. Second Amendment (Tree Nursery Agreement)
Joseph Molnar, Assistant Director of Growth & Opportunity, presented
a second amendment agreement. In 2017 the RDC and Parks Board
established a scattered lot urban tree nursery program near Lincoln
Park neighborhood. Currently new locations are needed and for
economic reasons, one site would be a better use of resources. This
amendment would discontinue the scattered sites and move trees
without taking them prematurely and will plant and maintain the new
urban tree nursery program and assume all expenses and fees related
to the nursery. Mr. Molnar presented an aerial view of the proposed
site called the Half Moon lot in Ignition Park. Barbara Dale, Project
Manager with the Office of Sustainability stated she worked on the
USDA US Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry grant that
the city received for $1.87 million to expand our Urban Tree nursery
program. Ms. Dale recommends changing the scope of the original
agreement to condense and improve the efficiency of the program.
Tina Patton wanted to clarify, are the trees being taken away from
disadvantaged areas. Mr. Molnar stated that in the past, the trees were
planted on vacant lots and now they will be consolidated to one place
to allow for housing development and trees could be available and
planted in these areas and low urban tree canopy neighborhoods. Ms.
Dale confirmed that they are not taken away from disadvantaged
areas. Caleb Bauer stated that, the goal is, instead of growing the
trees in small lots all over the city and then having people go and
eventually move them off those lots, we're consolidating the young
trees into one area. Once they're at a maturity level, they can be made
available to residents as part of Venues, Parks and Arts tree program
or as part of the USDA program, making trees more broadly available
to residents.
Upon a motion by David Relos for approval, seconded by Vivian Sallie,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the second
amendment as presented on October 24, 2024.
4. Budget Request (Continental Divide Trail)
Tim Corcoran, Chief Planner, presented a budget request for $150,000
to support a joint County-City initiative. This professional service will
explore the feasibility of a shared use trail on the West side of South
Bend called the Continental Divide Trail. Commissioner Relos asked
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – October 24 , 2024
5
where this is being proposed and Mr. Corcoran explained, it is West of
the South Bend Dinosaur Museum running North and South near the
chain of lakes. Mr. Corcoran explained the County will be funding
$300,000 and the City $150,000. Commissioner Warner asked about
the breakdown of funding and Caleb Bauer, Executive Director of
Community Investment stated that not knowing the exact route of the
trail, the primary location is in the county and will potentially run into
the city limits. Commissioner Warner asked if the state would help with
funding and Mr. Bauer stated that there will be higher levels of
government involvement just like the Coal Line Trail. There could be
various networking points from Potato Creek to New Carlisle in the
future. Dee Johnson asked to clarify, what the $150,000 if for? Mr.
Bauer said, to work on a viable route for the potential trail system and
its impact on properties, seeking service providers, and providing the
request for proposals documents.
Upon a motion by David Relos for approval, seconded by Vivian Sallie,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the budget
request as presented on October 24, 2024.
5. Resolution No. 3614 (SBCSC Bendix Site)
President Troy Warner proposed items 5A5-7 be presented together.
The Commissioners agreed. Joseph Molnar, Assistant Director of
Growth & Opportunity, presented Resolution No. 3614, Bid
Specifications, and the Notice of Intended Disposition for the 5-acre
Lot 2 on Bendix Dr. Staff pledged to bring the lot forward for disposition
if another site was selected. The old Cleveland Rd. site was approved
at the October 10th meeting. Per state law, the minimum bid is
$277,750 (average of two appraisals), bids due November 25, 2024,
emphasis placed on compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, and
self-storage facilities, car washes, and/or gas stations will not be
considered. Commissioner Sallie asked if there had been any interest
in the property and Mr. Molnar stated there were interested parties in
the beginning and the city would reach out to those individuals first.
Tina Patton asked how individuals would know about the disposition
and if local contractors would be contacted. Mr. Molnar explained the
bid specification packets will be placed on the city website as well as
an ad that will be posted in the South Bend Tribune per state
ordinance and all interested parties have the same opportunity.
Councilwoman Ophelia Gooden-Rodgers asked where the location
was, and Mr. Molnar stated that it’s on Bendix Drive and it’s South of
Nimz Parkway and North of the South Bend School Systems bus depot
and is zoned high industrial.

request for $900,000 for the renovations of the former South Bend
school corporation building to become the new city hall which will
include full upgrades of the elevator, mechanicals, plumbing, electrical,
and office spaces. $330,000 will be reimbursed back to the
Commission after the last quarter’s appropriations in December. Troy
Warner asked about the bids process and Mr. Kain explained that the
bids have gone out and we expect to receive an award in
approximately two weeks and hope to begin work in November 2024.
Completion should take approximately nine months. Commissioner
Relos asked about the Leighton portion and Mr. Kain stated that there
will be an annex where future other city offices can be located.
Commissioner Sallie asked about all of the city workers being at one
location and Caleb Bauer stated the there is more consolidation with
city hall than currently exist today. Commissioner Relos asked about
municipal utilities and Mr. Kain stated that there will be a one-stop-
shop for residents at the new city hall and the bulk of public interests
will now be in one location with parking in the parking garage as well
as on the street.
Upon a motion by David Relos for approval, seconded by Troy Warner,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the budget
request as presented on October 24, 2024.
9. Resolution No. 3615 & Purchase Agreement (Elwood Shopping Plaza)
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – October 24 , 2024
7
Caleb Bauer, Executive Director of Community Investment, requests
approval for Resolution No. 3615 for a property acquisition for the
Elwood Shopping Plaza at 1302 Elwood Ave. an 8.6-acre site,
currently zoned as NC-Neighborhood Center. The proposed purchase
price will be $1,400,000. Appraisals have been completed and the
average is $907,000. The site is East of the Drewrys Brewery site
where there is active cleanup work going on now. Mr. Bauer explained
that, we are currently seeking federal funding through the EPA
Community Change grant for the full redevelopment of the Drewrys
site and if we were awarded that funding, that could provide up to $20
million for the redevelopment of that site. Mr. Bauer explains that the
format of the request is an assignment and assumption. The
Redevelopment Commission will be assigned a purchase agreement
between Blair Adams Ret and Elwood Shopping Center LLC. Mr. Tom
Gryp is affiliated with Blair Adams Ret and has negotiated with the
owners and brought the agreement to the Redevelopment Commission
to become the purchaser and would reimburse the earnest cost of
$25,000. Mr. Bauer showed a conceptual plan for what the site might
look like in the future, new affordable housing, revitalized Muessel
Grove Park and a reimagined Elwood Shopping Plaza.
Tom Gryp stated that his actions have nothing to do with the Notre
Dame Federal Credit Union and it is his personal passion to help the
city reclaim this corner. He stated that ever since the Martin family sold
this property to the Spiegel company, he has been trying to get it back
in the hands of local control. His hope is to get the signed agreement
soon and to sign it over to the city at cost. Mr. Gryp is excited for this
development as it will improve this corner as well as Portage Ave.
going North and be the trigger that breathes life into that area.
Commissioner Relos asked if the grant would include this area. Mr.
Bauer stated that the potential grant award will focus primarily on the
Drewry site, however, will set up other potential funding and other
grant opportunities for Phase II of the Elwood Shopping Plaza piece.
Mr. Relos also inquired about housing and that was confirmed.
Commissioner Warner suggested that the retail portion may lend itself
to the Lilly Endowment grant. Mr. Bauer also stated that the total site is
about 28-acres not including Muessel Park with a potential of 130-140
housing units as part of the EPA grant. Tina Patton suggested a
church and grocery store in the conceptual plans to support the future
housing and community. Mr. Bauer agreed that all support services
such as grocery store, childcare, mental health assistance, health care
and those types of amenities would be a priority. Commissioner
Warner asked about a possible fit for the United Way Center and Mr.
Bauer stated it could be possible.

Upon a motion by Vivian Sallie for approval, seconded by David Relos,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the

10. Resolution No.3611 (Amending TIF District)
Chris Dressel, Senior Planner presented the amended 2024 TIF
District Adjustments request with all of the sites suggested by the
Commission at the last meeting with one extra. Mr. Dressel explained
with an illustration of each area and all of the added parcels. Mr.
Dressel stated that we are able to stay on the timeline proposed.
Commissioner Warner asked to give a brief explanation of what TIF
expansion looks like for residents. Tim Corcoran, Chief Planner,
explained that the expansion of TIF Districts allows the city to use
redevelopment funds to support infrastructure projects, redevelopment
of properties such as parks, fire department, etc. This does not change
the tax base of the properties.
Upon a motion by David Relos for approval, seconded by Vivian Sallie,
the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the
Resolution as presented on October 24, 2024.

three (3) tax abatements. At the October 14th Common Council meeting,
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – October 24 , 2024
9
the Council adopted a confirming resolution which grants an 8-year tax
abatement for Property Bros. LLC and supports the next phase of the
legacy project. The Council also adopted 2 declaratory resolutions, the
first being 10-year mixed use property tax abatement with Historic
Hearthstone LLC for the property at 321 W. Wayne St, the estimated
private investment for that project is $10.5 million for office space. The
Council also approved a 9-year hotel motel, real property tax abatement
for AST111 Corporation, which is the owner of the DoubleTree Hotel on
Martin Luther King Drive. The owners would like to begin a $9.2 million
renovation of that hotel, and they hope to begin that in February. At the

efforts to expedite the Project through any required planning, design, permitting, waiver, and
6
related regulatory processes, provided, however, that the Commission will not be required to
expend any money in connection therewith.
5.4 Public Announcements, Press Releases, and Marketing Materials. The
Commission hereby agrees to coordinate all public announcements and press releases relating to
the Project with the Developer.
SECTION 6. COOPERATION IN THE EVENT OF LEGAL CHALLENGE.
6.1 Cooperation. In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other
proceeding instituted by any person not a party to this Agreement challenging the validity of any
provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate in defending such action or proceeding to
settlement or final judgment including all appeals. Each Party shall select its own legal counsel;
however, Developer shall reimburse the Commission for its reasonable attorneys’ fees associated
with the Commission’s defense of this Agreement against a third-party lawsuit. In no event shall
the Commission be required to bear the fees and costs of the Developer’s attorneys. The Parties
agree that if any other provision of this Agreement, or this Agreement as a whole, is invalidated,
rendered null, or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to be bound by
the terms of this Section 6.1, which shall survive such invalidation, nullification, or setting aside.
SECTION 7. DEFAULT.
7.1 Default. Any failure by either Party to perform any term or provision of this
Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written
notice of such failure from the other Party, shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Any
notice given pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the nature of the alleged failure and,
where appropriate, the manner in which said failure satisfactorily may be cured. Upon the
occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party may (a) terminate this
Agreement, or (b) institute legal proceedings at law or in equity (including any action to compel
specific performance) seeking remedies for such default. If the default is cured within thirty (30)
days after the notice described in this Section 7.1, then no default shall exist and the noticing Party
shall take no further action.
7.2 Reimbursement Obligation. In the event that the Developer fails (a) to complete
the Project by the Mandatory Project Completion Date, or (b) to expend the full amount of the
Private Investment by the Mandatory Project Completion Date, then the Commission shall be
entitled to recover from Developer, as liquidated damages, One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of
the portion of the Funding Amount expended by the Commission in furtherance of the Local Public
Improvements (“Liquidated Damages”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the actual
damages to the Commission, the City, and its citizens in the event of a default by Developer would
be difficult or impossible to determine, and the Liquidated Damages set forth above represents the
best estimate of the Parties as to the amount of such damages at the time of execution and delivery
of this Agreement. If the Developer fails to perform and complete the work within the timeframe
fixed for completion, the Liquidated Damages shall be considered not as a penalty, but as agreed
upon monetary damages sustained by the Commission, the City, and citizens of South Bend for
the Commission’s direct investment into the Project, the negative impact upon the Commission’s
ability to develop other projects in South Bend, and expenses of City employees supporting the
7
Project, including, redevelopment staff, engineering staff, legal department staff, and a
construction manager on site.
7.3 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, none of the Parties shall be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or
failures to perform are due to, and a necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, strikes or other labor
disturbances, walk-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of terrorism,
restrictions imposed or mandated by governmental entities, enactment of conflicting state or
federal laws or regulations, new or supplemental environments regulations, contract defaults by
third parties, or similar basis for excused performance which is not within the reasonable control
of the Party to be excused (each, an event of “Force Majeure”). Upon the request of any of the
Parties, a reasonable extension of any date or deadline set forth in this Agreement due to such
cause will be granted in writing for a period necessitated by the event of Force Majeure, or longer
as may be mutually agreed upon by all the Parties.
SECTION 8. NO AGENCY, JOINT VENTURE, OR PARTNERSHIP; CONFLICT OF
INTEREST; INDEMNITY.
8.1 No Agency, Joint Venture or Partnership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that:
(a)The Project is a private development;
(b)None of the Commission, the Board of Works, or the Developer has any
interest or responsibilities for, or due to, third parties concerning any improvements until
such time, and only until such time, that the Commission, the Board of Works, and/or the
Developer expressly accepts the same; and
(c)The Parties hereby renounce the existence of any form of agency
relationship, joint venture or partnership between the Commission, the Board of Works,
and the Developer and agree that nothing contained herein or in any document executed in
connection herewith shall be construed as creating any such relationship between the
Commission, the Board of Works, and the Developer.
8.2 Conflict of Interest; Commission Representatives Not Individually Liable. No
member, official, or employee of the Commission or the City may have any personal interest,
direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any such member, official, or employee participate
in any decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the interests
of any corporation, partnership, or association in which he or she is, directly or indirectly,
interested. No member, official, or employee of the Commission or the City shall be personally
liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the
Commission or for any amount which may become due to the Developer, or its successors and
assigns, or on any obligations under the terms of this Agreement. No partner, member, employee,
or agent of the Developer or successors of them shall be personally liable to the Commission under
this Agreement.
8.3 Indemnity. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Commission and the City from and against any third-party claims suffered by the Commission or
8
the City resulting from or incurred in connection with the Local Public Improvements or the
Project.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by mutual
consent of the parties.
9.2 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a Party to exercise any
right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence
be construed as a waiver of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other
occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted
to have granted such waiver.
9.3 Other Necessary Acts. Each Party shall execute and deliver to the other Parties all
such other further instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the
Project and the Local Public Improvements contemplated by this Agreement and to provide and
secure to the other Parties the full and complete enjoyment of its rights and privileges hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties understand and agree that certain actions contemplated
by this Agreement may be required to be undertaken by persons, agencies, or entities that are not
a party to this Agreement, including, but not limited to certain permits, consents, and/or approvals
(to the extent they have not yet been obtained and completed), and that any action by such third
parties shall require independent approval by the respective person, agency, entity, or governing
body thereof.
9.4 Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any action to enforce the terms or
conditions of this Agreement or otherwise concerning a dispute under this Agreement will be
commenced in the courts of St. Joseph County, Indiana, unless the Parties mutually agree to an
alternative method of dispute resolution. The Parties acknowledge that disputes arising under this
Agreement are likely to be complex and they desire to streamline and minimize the cost of
resolving such disputes. In any legal proceeding, each Party irrevocably waives the right to trial
by jury in any action, counterclaim, dispute, or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject
matter of this Agreement. This waiver applies to all claims against all parties to such actions and
proceedings. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by both Parties.
9.5 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event the Commission pursues any legal action (including
arbitration) to enforce or interpret this Agreement, Developer shall pay Commission’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses (including expert witness fees).
9.6 Equal Employment Opportunity. The Developer, for itself and its successors and
assigns, agrees that during the construction of the Project:
(a)The Developer will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Developer agrees
9
to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment,
notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause; and
(b)The Developer will state, in all solicitations or advertisements for
employees placed by or on behalf of the Developer, that all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Any electronically transmitted version of a manually executed original shall be
deemed a manually executed original.

permitted under the terms of this Agreement may be delivered (a) by hand-delivery (which will be
deemed delivered at the time of receipt), (b) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested
(which will be deemed delivered three (3) days after mailing), or (c) by overnight courier service

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

RE: Annual Spending Plan of the South Bend Redevelopment Commission for
Calendar Year 2025 (IC 36-7-14-12.7)
SPENDING PLAN FOR 2025
(Note: The following represent anticipated amounts.)
A. Overview
Under Indiana Code (“IC”) 36-7-14-12.7, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the
“Redevelopment Commission” or the “Commission”) is required to file an annual spending plan
for the upcoming calendar year with the Department of Local Government Finance, Office of the
Mayor, and the Common Council.
The report below describes planned expenditures by the Redevelopment Commission for
calendar year 2025. This spending plan is based on projected incremental revenues for all
development areas to be $42,029,227 and anticipated revenue for the Redevelopment General
Fund to be $1,530,000.
This spending plan has been prepared using information currently available to the
Redevelopment Commission and its staff. Unexpected opportunities or needs may arise in
2025, making it appropriate for the Redevelopment Commission to make expenditures not
anticipated by this spending plan. Such unanticipated expenditures could arise for several
reasons including, but not limited to, the necessity to complete unforeseen projects;
opportunities to modify debt payments; new unanticipated economic development or
redevelopment opportunities; and support from both public and private entities, including grants
or loans.
In the event amendments to this spending plan are needed, the Redevelopment Commission
will comply with the instructions set forth in the Memorandum issued by the Department of Local
Government Finance on August 28, 2024.

D. Capital Expenditures Contemplated by the Economic Development Plan(s) or
Redevelopment Plan(s), as amended
Commission-controlled funds can be used as capital expenditure allocations in support of
economic development and/or redevelopment. These types of projects include (1)
transportation enhancement projects (e.g., curbs, gutters, shoulders, street paving, street
construction, bridge improvements, sidewalk improvements, pathway improvements, street
lighting, traffic signals, signage, parking lot improvements, site improvements, landscape
buffers, and demolition costs); (2) utility infrastructure projects such as utility relocation,
water lines, water wells, water towers, lift stations, wastewater lines, storm water lines,
retention ponds, ditches, and storm water basin improvements; (3) public park
improvements; (4) recreational improvements and equipment; and (5) projects to enhance
cultural attractiveness.
Capital expenditures can also include the use of funds for real property acquisition and
improvements, as well as for equipment and personal property acquisitions and installation.
Permissible incentives provided through a development agreement or real estate purchase
agreement that support a development or a redevelopment project are also considered
capital expenditures.
As of the date of this report, the Redevelopment Commission anticipates the following
capital expenditures in 2025:
• Real property acquisition and improvements: $19,684,463
• Infrastructure improvements including, but not limited to, transportation enhancement
projects, utility infrastructure projects, and public park improvements: $7,342,226
The Redevelopment Commission would consider additional capital expenditures in 2025 as
part of its annual spending plan if the need for such an expenditure materializes that would
further the goals of the Redevelopment Commission.
E. Expenditures from the Redevelopment General Fund (a.k.a. Pokagon Fund)
Expenditures by the Redevelopment Commission from the Redevelopment General Fund
are to be used in support of initiatives broadly aimed at contributing to the improvement of
educational opportunities in the City of South Bend and addressing poverty and
unemployment in the City.
As of the date of this report, the estimated sum of expenditures in 2025 from the
Redevelopment General Fund not discussed elsewhere in this report will be up to
$4,230,000.
The Redevelopment Commission would consider additional expenditures from the
Redevelopment General Fund in 2025 that contribute to the improvement of educational
opportunities in the City of South Bend or address poverty and unemployment in the City as
part of its annual spending plan if the need for such additional expenditures materializes that
would further the goals of the Redevelopment Commission.

F. Grants and Contributions
1. Contributions to Local Economic Development Organizations and similar organizations
As of the date of this report, the Redevelopment Commission does not anticipate any
contributions in 2025 to Local Economic Development Organizations and similar
organizations. However, the Commission would consider making contributions to Local
Economic Development Organizations and similar organizations in 2025 as part of its
annual spending plan if the need for such a contribution materializes that would further
the goals of the Redevelopment Commission.
2. Contributions to local non-profit organizations
The Redevelopment Commission has in the past supported local non-profit
organizations whose missions, services, and commitments to the community would
further the goals of the Commission. The support of the Commission to these
organizations can be provided through mechanisms such as donation agreements or
contracted services, among other ways.
As of the date of this report, total estimated contributions to local non-profit organizations
in 2025 will be $133,479.
The Redevelopment Commission would consider providing additional contributions to
local non-profit organizations in 2025 as part of its annual spending plan if the need for
such an expenditure materializes that would further the goals of the Redevelopment
Commission.

to study needed transportation improvements in the street network around the South
Bend Farmers Market, commonly referred to as the Market District. The City’s match

Economic Development Corporation. The funds awarded to the developer will

commitment after reimbursement will be $12,220,000.

complement support for projects provided by the Redevelopment Commission. The
Commission may incur additional unforeseen expenditures in 2025 if the City is awarded
