Re: Resolution Requesting Approval for the Purchase of 1829 Randolph Street
Dear President Lee:
Attached is a resolution for consideration by the South Bend Common Council ("Council")
requesting authorization from Council for the Board of Public Works to pursue the acquisition of
three(3)parcels of land, more commonly referred to as 1829 Randolph Street, South Bend,
Indiana("Property"). The Board of Works intends to follow the statutory framework set forth
under IC 36-1-10.5-5 to purchase the Property.
The purpose of this purchase is to facilitate the upcoming CSO storage tank construction project.
This infrastructure improvement is necessitated by the City of South Bend's consent decree with
the federal government. The acquisition of the Property has the likely impact of reducing the
overall cost of the construction project while minimizing the disruption to the residents of the
neighborhood.
I will present the resolution to Council at its upcoming meeting. As always,thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Eric Horvath
Director of Public Works
