AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $98,314.00, FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUND, FOR THE CONTINUATION OF URBAN RENEWAL ACTIVITIES, TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT /DIVISION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT: One of Community Development's long -term objectives is the revitalization of South Bend's Central Business District (CBD). This revitalization must, however, be based on a realistic assess- ment of the competitive position of the CBD viz -a -viz other re- gional retail centers. Recognizing these regional realities, the revitalization of the CBD must be based on the orderly transition of a declining retail center to a viable multi -use regional center, i.e., an urban center which can supply major financial, medical, governmental, transportation, various business, and leisure - recreational- cultural opportunities (with a supporting mix of retail enterprises). As the CBD's role in the regional economic structure continues to evolve, the Department of Redevelopment will aid this revitalization process by the continuation and eventual completion of the Urban Renewal Project R -66. To successfully complete Project R -66, the Department of Redevelopment will: (1) develop and implement, in conjunction with the Division of Community Development, a urban core polciy and plan, based on the realities of the region's physical, social, and economic structure; (2) attempt to attract substantial, new capital investment and reinvestment in the R -66 project area and its environs through all available renewal mechanisms and techniques; and, (3) proceed towards an expeditious, but fiscally sound close -out of South Bend's Urban Renewal Project R -66. To accomplish these objectives additional administrative funds are required by the Department of Redevelopment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: SECTION I. The sum of $98,314.00 is hereby appropriated for the program year starting July 7, 1977, from the Community Development Block Grant Fund (Program Year 1977). This appropria- tion is to be administered by the Department of Human Resources and Economic Development /Division of Community Development and the Re- development Department, and will be distributed as set forth below: PROGRAM - CD -77 -1201 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PURPOSE AMOUNT Redevelopment's Personnel Costs $87,314.00 Redevelopment's Non - Personnel Costs 11,000.00 TOTAL $98,314.00 SECTION II.
