It is proposed that the land be leased to the Doi-mto-vrn South Bend Council, a
L,
nonpro fi t organization, (or to some newly organized nonprofit corporation to be owned
by the downtown businessmen) at an annual rate sufficient to liquidate the bonds over
a period of 20 years and pay the interest thereon. This plan appears to be feasible,
since our calculations show that revenue bonds totalling $810,000 carrying an interest
rate of 5% per annum could be liquidated in twenty equal annual installments of
$65,000 each. The estimated income to the non-profit organization is estimated at
$50,500 per year and is based on the following premises:
a. 50% usage (slightly lower than Barton-Aschman rate.).
b. 9 hours per day, 6 days a week, for 112 weeks each year.
c. 200 per hv,�tx parking fee (recoy—rended by Barton- As ch-m-an . )
On the basis of the above cor�p U utations, it should be noted th_z the estimated —annuzal
U
installments exceed the estimated annual income by X15,000® it also
should be noted that 655 usage provides a brealre-,ien. it should be further noted tat-
the President -f `-he Do,.-7�atoi,,n South Bend Council izidi c,---d the ic,!, usage would
approximate 7 5� - The income estimate also may be conservative in, t"aat no atllowance,
or income, ha,-:-, been anticipated for niglattti,,e parking. In any event, we believe the
stockholders in the nonprofit coa:-.poration should guarantee re-pa�yment of the bonds.
At the end of the 20-year -period-, the City would own the two lots anzq_
In the event the bonds are liquidated over a 30-year 'period, the annual
installments would be approximately $53,000. Or, the extended period could be
utilized to cover additional expenditureso which might be incurred in connection
with the implementation of theproject.
In view of the importance of the project to the downtown community, it appears
reasonable that the Downtown South Bend Council would underwrite any possible
relatively small amount involved. It should be mentioned also that the additional
annual revenue resulting from changes in curb parking time limits and fees estimated
at $47,000 would make the project self-supporting and provide the coverage normally
required-for parking revenue bonds.
The free enter -rise system was not overlooked in arriving at this decision.
Quite to the contrary, it was thoroughly reviewed end discussed but-bo workable
solution meeting the requirements of the Barton -Aschman recommendations resulted.
The flexibility offered by ownership of the non-profit corporation by the
merchants offers many ways for the merchants to promote use of these lots by their
customers so that sufficient revenue will be generated to pay o:'f the bonds. More-
over, this plan would cost the taxpayer nothing and would provide sufficient space
to meet present parking needs in the downtown South Bend core area. Should additional,
parking space be needed in the future, a multistory facility could be erected on one,
or both, of the lots.
It is the opinion of the Committee that this reco=.,endation be made a part
of the comprehensive plan for the improvement of the Central District of South Bend
resulting from the studies made by Hamer & Co. Associates, and BliLir & Stein
Associates, Inc. It is also the opinion of the Committee that its recommendation,
if accepted., be implemented as soon as all necessary legal and financing details
can be worked out.

topped at a cost of $3, 500.00 and that 90 meters be purchased at a cost
of $16, 200.00.
3. That the estimated total cost for all of said items set out above is
$806,110.00.
4. That when said parcels are ready for occupancy that the land be leased
to the Downtown South Bend Council whose payment of rental will liquidate
the obligation. The Board approves the leasing to the Downtown South
Bend Council only if their bid to lease is in accordance with the law of
the State of Indiana as the best bid.
5. That funds for the entire project be acquired through the 'issuance of
revenue bonds.
