August 21, 2025, by Board President Elizabeth A. Maradik (not present), Vice President

and Board Attorney Michael Schmidt present. The Board of Public Works Clerk, Hillary R.
Horvath, presented the Board with a proposed agenda of items presented bythe public and
by City Staff.
Board members discussed the following item(s) from the agenda.
REJECTION OF BIDS/QUOTATIONS
Mr. Gilot and Mr. Miller asked about item 6:13 Cleanup of South Bend Range, Phase I -
Buildinia Demolition. Attorney Schmidt noted the bidders were nonresponsive and that is
why the bids are being rejected. Engineer Zach Hurst noted that the paperwork that was
submitted by bidders was expired, incomplete, and/or missing. He stated this would be
readvertised again in the near future.
MODIFICATIONS TO INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS
Mr. Gilot asked about item 14. A-P involving modifications to industrial wastewater
discharge permits. He asked why there were so many and Clerk Horvath stated there were
recent state changes which required modifications to the permits.
Attorney Schmidt stated he would ask that Serena Lozano of Wastewater to be present for
the regular meeting to be available for any questions.
RESOLUTIONS
VP Molnar stated he submitted the item for 10.A: Resolution No.19-2025 A Resolution of
the City of South Bend, Indiana Board of Public Works Approving the Transfer of Real
Property to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. He stated this was for the
transfer of City property at 1408 Elwood Ave. to the Redevelopment Commission for the
Proposed Redevelopment of the Site. VP Molnar stated that the former Drewry's Brewery
site, having been cleaned up over the past few years and with RDC TIF funding covering
many expenses, was being transferred to the RDC to allow city staff to manage day-to-day
items more efficiently.
Board members discussed whether transferring property between the Board of Public
Works and RDC affected the city's environmental or other liability exposures. Attorney
Schmidt explained that the City strategically transfers properties between Public Works
and Redevelopment to leverage different statutory frameworks, such as when working
with nonprofits or when certain authorities provide more favorable rules.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Board attorney Michael Schmidt stated he had a MOU that could be added before the
regular meeting. It is a MOU with Mishawaka to establish a utility boundary map for water
and wastewater. He stated he is waiting on the boundary map that could come Friday and
could therefore be added to the meeting for Tuesday.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, VP Molnar adjourned the
meeting at 10:47 a.m.
