are authorized or permitted by amendments to the Act, including Sections 39 and 43, after the
effective date of this Resolution, those uses shall also be authorized or permitted for property tax
proceeds allocated to the Allocation Fund.
10. Except as provided in Section 39(g) of the Act, before July 15 of each
year, the Commission shall do the following:
US.54700214.03
(a) determine the amount, if any, by which the assessed value of the
taxable property in the allocation area for the most recent
assessment date minus the base assessed value, when multiplied by
-4-
the estimated tax of the Area will exceed the amount of assessed
value needed to produce the property taxes necessary to make,
when due, principal and interest payments on bonds described in
Paragraph 9( d) plus the amount necessary for the other purposes
described in Paragraph 9( d); and
(b) provide a written notice to the County Auditor, the Common
Council and the officers who are authorized to fix budgets, tax
rates, and tax levies llilder Indiana Code 6-1.1-17-5 for each of the
other taxing units that are wholly or partially located within the
Area. The notice must state the amount, if any, of the amount of
excess assessed value that the Commission has determined may be
allocated to the respective taxing units in the manner prescribed in
Paragraph 9(a) or state that the Conunission has determined that
there is no excess assessed value that be allocated to the
overlapping taxing units. The Commission may not authorize the
payment to the respective taxing units if to do so would endanger
the interests of the holders of bonds described in Paragraph 9( d) or
lessors under Section 25.2 of the Act.
11. "Property Taxes" referred to herein shall mean taxes imposed under IC 6-
1.1 on real property only.
12. The allocation provisions of Section 39 of the Act and as set forth above
shall, with respect to the 2014 Expansion Allocation Area, expire on a date which may not be
more than twenty-five (25) years after the date on which the first obligation is incurred to pay
principal and interest on bonds or lease rentals on leases payable from tax increment revenues.
13. The Commission finds that designating and declaring the Expansion Area
as an allocation area will result in new property taxes in the Area that would not have .been
generated but for including the Expansion Area in the Allocation Area because the Commllility
Center property has been ·vacant for a number of years and has been on the tax sale list since at
least 2005, indicating the inability of private enterprise to develop the property to its fullest use
without resort to the powers under the Act.
14. The Secretary is directed to file a certified copy of the Plan Amendment
and this Resolution with the minutes of this meeting.
15. The officers of the Commission are hereby directed to make any and all
required filings with the Department of Local Government Finance, the St. Joseph County
Auditor, and the St. Joseph County Recorder in connection with 2014 Expansion Allocation
Area.
16. This Resolution, together with supporting data, shall be submitted to the
St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission and Common Council of the City, as provided by
Section 16 of the Act, for the approval of the Resolution and the Plan Amendment, and if
approved by both bodies, the Resolution and the Plan Amendment shall be submitted to public
-5 -
US.54700214.03
hearing and remonstrance as provided by Section 17 of the Act, after public notice in accordance
with Section 17 and Section 17.5 of the Act and IC 5-3-1 and after all required filings with
govennnental agencies and officers have been made pursuant to Section 17 (b) and Section 17 ( c)
of the Act.
17. All orders or resolutions m conflict herewith are hereby rescinded,
revoked and repealed in so far as such exist.
18. This Resolution does not affect any rights or liabilities accrued, ·penalties
incurred, offenses committed, or (except as otherwise provided herein) proceedings begun before
the effective date of this Resolution.
19. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption
by the Commission.

FINDINGS OF FACT
In accordance with IC 36-7-14 et. seq. (the "Act") and in support of the Declaratory Resolution,
as amended, and the Development Plan (the "Development Plan"), as amended by a Plan
Amendment (the "Plan Amendment") for the South Side Development Area (the "South Side
Area"), the South Bend Redevelopment Commission finds as follows:
1. The Plan Amendment for the South Side Area promotes significant opportunities
for the gainful employment of its citizens and will encourage attraction, retention,
and expansion of businesses in the South Side Area.
2. The Plan Amendment for the South Side Area cannot be achieved by regulatory
processes or by the ordinary operation of private enterprise because of lack of
public improvements, or other similar conditions without resort to the Act.
3. The public health and welfare will be substantially benefited by the planning,
replanning, development and development of the South Side Area, including the
Expansion Area, and accomplishment of the Plan Amendment for the South Side
Area. The improvements in the South Side Area will facilitate attraction,
retention, and expansion of industries in the South Side Area thereby benefiting
the public's health and welfare through job creation and expansion of the City of
South Bend's tax base.
4. The accomplishment of the Development Plan, including the Plan Amendment,
for the South Side Area will be a public utility and benefit as measured by the
attraction and retention of permanent jobs and an increase in the property tax
base.
5. The Plan Amendment for the South Side Area conforms to other development and
redevelopment plans for the City of South Bend. The Plan Amendment conforms
to the Comprehensive Master Plan for the City of South Bend, known as City
Plan.
6. The Plan Amendment is reasonable and appropriate when considered in relation
to the original Declaratory Resolution, as amended, the Development Plan and the
purposes of the Act.
