an instrumentality of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "City"); and
WHEREAS, under the Act, the Authority has powers and duties that include, but are not
limited to, acquiring real property and transferring of that property for the purposes authorized
under the Act, and to finance, improve, construct, reconstruct, renovate, purchase, lease, acquire,
or equip local public improvements; and
WHEREAS, under the Act, the Authority may adopt such rules and bylaws as it considers
necessary for the proper conduct of its duties and safeguarding the funds and property entrusted to
its care; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Act, the Authority owns, manages, leases, and transfers
property within the boundaries of the City of South Bend (the "City"); and
WHEREAS, as a result of such owning, managing, leasing, and transferring of property,
and the Authority's other duties to finance, improve, construct, reconstruct, renovate, purchase,
lease, acquire, or equip local public improvements, City staff members receive requests to perform
administrative functions on behalf of the Authority, including, but not limited to, the submission
of forms to other various entities, the release of obsolete financing documents, granting temporary
access to Authority property, and the execution of other documents relating to the ownership and
maintenance of property; and
WHEREAS, the City's staff members are familiar with the property owned by the
Authority and the other actions taken by the Authority; and
WHEREAS, the Authority desires to expressly authorize certain members of the C ity'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 Authority as
follows:
1. The following staff members of the City are authorized to perform, on behalf of the
Authority, all administrative acts related to the Authority's owning, managing,
leasing, and transferring property, including, but not limited to, acts relating to the
regular maintenance of property, the closing of a property transaction, a re -platting
process, the release of obsolete financing documents, authorizing temporary access
onto a property, a petition or application regarding land use before an administrative
body, or any other review process, whether such process was initiated by the
Authority or another entity:
a. Caleb Bauer;
b. Sarah Schaefer;
C. Erik Glavich; and
d. Joseph Molnar.
Such authorization shall include the authorization to execute documents on behalf
of the Authority 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 Authority, enter into any leases on behalf of the Authority, or
provide authorization to issue any bonds or initiate any legal proceedings on behalf
of the Authority. Further, such authorization shall not conflict with any existing
agreements the Authority has with third parties regarding the management of
Authority properties. 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
transferring property and does not adversely impact an interest of the Authority in
light of the Authority's overall purpose and goals as set forth under the Act.
2. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after its adoption.
ADOPTED at a meeting of the South Bend Redevelopment Authority held on March 10,
2025.
