AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AUTHORIZING A
DIRECT LOAN TO THE DEVELOPER OF AN
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FACILITY (LOW-BARRIER
EMERGENCY SHELTER PROJECT) AND APPROVING
OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of South Bend, Indiana (the "City"), is a municipal corporation and political
subdivision of the State of Indiana and by virtue of I.C. 36-7-11.9, I.C. 36-7-12, I.C. 36-7-14 and
I.C. 36-7-25 (collectively, the "Act"), is authorized and empowered to adopt this ordinance (this
"Ordinance") and to carry out its provisions.
The Act declares that the financing and refinancing of economic development facilities(as
defined in the Act) constitutes a public purpose.
Pursuant to the Act, the City is authorized to make loans for the purpose of financing,
reimbursing or refinancing all or a portion of the costs of acquisition, construction, renovation,
installation and equipping of economic development facilities in order to foster diversification of
economic development and creation or retention of opportunities for gainful employment in or
near the City.
New Day Intake Center, Inc., an Indiana nonprofit corporation (the "Developer") has
informed the City that it desires to acquire and construct certain economic development facilities
within the City which will consist of the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of certain real
property in the City to develop a no less than one hundred and ten (110) bed lower-barrier
emergency shelter, with an approximate total development cost of Fourteen Million Dollars
($14,000,000) (collectively, the "Project"), and has requested that the City make a loan to the
Developer on a draw basis for the purposes of financing or reimbursing the Developer for a portion
of the costs of acquisition and construction of the Project.
The Project will be located in or physically connected to, and will directly serve and
benefit, the River West Development Area and the River West Allocation Area(the"River West
Allocation Area").
The Project will directly serve and benefit the South Side Development Area, the South
Side Allocation Area (the "South Side Allocation Area"), the River East Development Area, and
the River East Allocation Area(the"River East Allocation Area"and together with the River West
Allocation Area and South Side Allocation Area, collectively, the"Allocation Areas").
The Developer has requested from the City and the City of South Bend Economic
Development Commission (the "Commission") that the City make a loan to the Developer on a
draw basis pursuant to the Act in a total amount not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000)
for the purpose of financing or reimbursing a portion of the costs of the Project (the "Loan") as
described in the proposed Financing and Loan Agreement between the City and the Developer(the
"Loan Agreement").
The completion of the Project will result in the creation of jobs, the diversification of
industry and the creation of business opportunities in the City.
Pursuant to I.C. § 36-7-12-24, the Commission published notice of a public hearing on the
proposed financing of a portion of the Project costs (the"Public Hearing").
On the date specified in the notice of the Public Hearing, the Commission conducted the
Public Hearing, and adopted its evaluative report and resolution, which have been transmitted to
the Common Council, finding that the financing of a portion of the Project complies with the
purposes and provisions of the Act and that such financing will be of benefit to the health and
welfare of the City and its citizens.
The Commission has performed all actions required of it by the Act preliminary to the
adoption of this Ordinance and has approved and forwarded to the Common Council the forms of:
(1) the Loan Agreement; (2) the Funding and Reimbursement Agreement (the "Funding
Agreement") between the City and the South Bend Redevelopment Commission (the
"Redevelopment Commission"); and (3) this Ordinance (the Loan Agreement, the Funding
Agreement, and this Ordinance, collectively, the"Financing Agreements").
Pursuant to Indiana Code 36-7-14-39(b)(4) and Indiana Code 36-7-25-3(a), the
Redevelopment Commission may use certain incremental property taxes, among other purposes,
to reimburse the City for expenditures (including loans) made for local public improvements
(which include buildings, parking facilities, and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with the acquisition and redevelopment of property) that are physically located in or physically
connected to, or directly serve or benefit, each of the Allocation Areas.
The Redevelopment Commission has adopted its Resolution No. 3646 on August 14,2025,
determining, subject to appropriations thereof by the Redevelopment Commission, to make
available certain tax increment revenues on deposit in the allocation fund for (i) the River West
Allocation Area(the"River West TIF Revenues"), (ii)the South Side Allocation Area(the"South
Side TIF Revenues"), and(iii)the River East Allocation Area(the"River East TIF Revenues"and
together with the River West TIF Revenues and the South Side TIF Revenues, collectively, the
"TIF Revenues") to simultaneously reimburse the City for its costs incurred to fund each draw on
the Loan to the Developer with respect to the Project.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. Findings; Public Benefits. The Common Council hereby finds and
determines that the Project involves the acquisition and construction of an"economic development
facility" as that phrase is used in the Act; that the Project will increase employment opportunities
and increase diversification of economic development in the City, will improve and promote the
economic stability, development and welfare in the City, will encourage and promote the
expansion of industry, trade and commerce in the City and the location of other new industries in
the City; that the public benefits to be accomplished by the making of the Loan to the Developer
to finance and/or reimburse Project costs, in tending to overcome insufficient employment
opportunities,insufficient diversification of industry and lack of adequate housing,are greater than
the cost of public works or services (as that phrase is used in the Act) which will be required by
the Project; and,therefore, that the financing of a portion of the Project by the making the Loan to
the Developer under the Act: (i) will be of benefit to the health and general welfare of the City;
and(ii) complies with the Act.
Approval of Financing. The proposed financing of the Project by the funding of the Loan to the
Developer under the Act, in the form that such financing was approved by the Commission, is
hereby approved.
SECTION III. Terms of the Loan. (a) A portion of the costs of the Project will be
funded by the Loan to the Developer on a draw basis(each draw on the Loan, a"Draw"). The City
shall fund the Loan on a draw basis in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed Four Million
Dollars ($4,000,000), from (i) South Side TIF Revenues in the amount $465,377, (ii) River West
TIF Revenues in the amount of$2,475,686, and (iii) River East TIF Revenues in the amount of
$1,058,937, then on deposit in the applicable allocation fund for each of the Allocation Areas and
made available by the Redevelopment Commission to the City for the purposes of making the
Loan to the Developer under the Act and the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Loan shall (i)
mature no later than December 31, 2029, on the date set forth in the final Loan Agreement (the
"Maturity Date"), (ii)bear no interest, except as provided herein,and(iii)be secured by the pledge
of an unsecured promissory note of the Developer. Subject to the Unavoidable Delay provisions
of the Loan Agreement,the principal of each outstanding Draw on the Loan shall be forgiven upon
the earlier of(i) the substantial completion of the Project as evidenced by receipt of the certificate
2
required by Section 3.2 of the Loan Agreement, or (ii) the repayment of any principal not
previously forgiven and remaining outstanding and interest, if any, of the Loan on the Maturity
Date. In the event that the Developer abandons the Project or otherwise fails to proceed to
substantially complete the Project as required by the Loan Agreement and the Development
Agreement between the Redevelopment Commission and the Developer (the "Development
Agreement"), the repayment of any outstanding amount of the Loan (the"Outstanding Amount")
will be on a date not later than thirty (30) days from the date when the City's Department of
Community Investment, on behalf of the City,provides written notice to the Developer that,in its
sole discretion, it has determined that the Developer has abandoned or failed to proceed with the
Project as required by the Loan Agreement and the Development Agreement (the date of such
written notice being the"Trigger Date"). Interest will begin to accrue on the Outstanding Amount
beginning on the Trigger Date at the Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus three
percent (3.0%) until the Outstanding Amount is fully paid by the Developer. In the event that the
Loan is forgiven, it is hereby acknowledged that the consideration received by the City for the
Loan being forgiven is the completion of the Project by the Developer and the economic benefits
resulting to the City therefrom.
(b) The Loan does not and shall never constitute an indebtedness of,or a charge against
the general credit or taxing power of,the City. Forms of the Financing Agreements are before this
meeting and are by this reference incorporated in this Ordinance, and the Clerk of the City is
hereby directed, in the name and on behalf of the City, to insert them into the minutes of the
Common Council and to keep them on file.

Clerk and the Controller of the City are hereby authorized and directed, in the name and on behalf
of the City,to execute or endorse and deliver the Financing Agreements, submitted to the Common
Council, which are hereby approved in all respects.

Controller of the City are hereby authorized, in the name and on behalf of the City,without further
approval of the Common Council or the Commission, to approve such changes in the Financing
Agreements as may be permitted by the Act, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by their
execution thereof.

declaration, shall be subject to any applicable limitations of federal bankruptcy law affecting or

required by law or for which express provision is made herein.

brings any action against another party by reason of an alleged breach or default and obtains
substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.
