Memorandum
December 11, 2014
TO: Redevelopment Commission
` FROM: David Relos, Economic Resources 911.
SUBJECT: Resolution 3258 —Accepting Transfer of Property from BPW
Cove Parcel 18-3014-051501
On September 11, 2014, an MOU between the Board of Park Commissioners (Parks);
Board of Public Works (BPW); Swing Batter Swing (SBS), owner of the South Bend Cubs
minor league baseball team; and the Redevelopment Commission (RDC) was approved.
This MOU outlines each party's responsibilities to carry out the construction and
ownership of a privately funded, approximately 17,700 square feet batting cage facility,
containing six indoor tunnels, two regulation pitching mounds, an observation deck, and
having an estimated construction cost of$1,000,000. This facility will enhance the Cove,
team, and larger region by being a unique destination point that will draw more people to
the downtown area.
This parcel currently is in the name of the BPW, and the MOU contemplates its transfer
to the RDC, to allow a section of it to be ultimately transferred to SBS and the remaining
larger section being transferred back to Parks.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3258, accepting the transfer of this parcel from
the BPW.
