STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The government of the City of South Bend, in creative and affirmative
partnership with its residents, private enterprise and the Federal Government,
is committed to the goal of expanding economic opportunities. To further this
goal, the Community Development Block Grant program contains the specific ob-
jective of alleviating physical and economic distress through stimulation of
private investment and elimination of blighting conditions.
The City believes that land in the areas commonly known as East Bank and
Monroe - Sample is characterized by a number of conflicting and incompatible
uses, causing the areas to be vulnerable to continued blight and decay, or to
indiscriminate development. It has, therefore, become a local priority, as
articulated in the designation of the East Bank Development Area and the
Monroe - Sample Development Area, and as indicated in the 1979 -81 Community De-
velopment Plan, to devote local and federal funds to improve the physical and
functional aspects of the areas.
Realization of Development Area objectives will be accomplished by a
combination of public and private actions. These actions include, but are not
limited to, the following: property acquisition, relocation, clearance,
vacation and dedication of public rights -of -way, provision for public facilities
and improvements and any other activity pertaining to planning and implementing
an urban redevelopment plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, as follows:
SECTION I: The sum of $500,000.00
gram year. This appropriation is to be
velopment, as set forth below:

Attached are two appropriation ordinances for funds to be used for
acquisition, relocation, and clearance activities in the East Bank and
Monroe - Sample Development Areas.
The first ordinance appropriates $500,000.00 from the 1979 Community
Development Block Grant. This amount was in the original 1979 Community
Development budget but was not appropriated at that time. This is the
entire line item for Monroe- Sample and East Bank, and leaves a zero
balance for the 1979 line item.
The second ordinance appropriates $1,600,000.00 from the Section 108
Loan Guarantee Program of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974. This is the entire amount of the Section 108 loan. Appropriations
of these funds will allow the City of South Bend, through the Department
of Redevelopment, to implement the recently adopted plans for the East
Bank and Monroe - Sample Development Areas.
Your favorable consideration of these ordinances is requested.
Very truly yours,
Ann Kolata
Deputy Director
