Dear Council Member Puzzello:
Frederick Williams was approved for a residential tax abatement on June 13, 2005 for
properties located at 2502 Bertrand St., 2107 Roger St., 1706 S. William St., and 606 W.
Calvert St. The resolution number for the confirming tax abatement was 3470 -05. The
tax key numbers for the above properties were incorrectly listed on the resolutions. This
letter is to inform you of the error and to present a new reconfirming resolution. This
type of request has been made before when Lot 14, Toll Road Industrial Park to Thomas
E. Lowe had an incorrect tax key number listed on the confirming resolution.
Due to the scrivener's errors, the Key Numbers for the properties were incorrect.
Accordingly, we request that the South Bend Common Council adopt the enclosed
reconfirming resolution for the sole purpose of correcting the scrivener's errors. The
statement of benefits form is correct and will not have to be revised. In all other respects,
the resolution is identical to the resolution previously adopted. I am including a copy of
the original abatement packet. I will be available to meet with the Committee on Monday,
October 24, 2005.
Should you or any of the other Council members have any questions concerning the
report or need additional information, please feel free to call me at 235 -5825.
Sincerely,
