Old Business A. Airport Authority Brock Zeeb, St. Joseph County Airport Authority presented an update between the Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority on the Corporate Wings project. South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting — June 13, 2016 Page 3 The agreement was established December 17, 2015 whereas the Airport Authority planned to attract a fixed based operator and expend TIF dollars on a concrete ramp expansion able to hold the largest private jets. Corporate Wings is currently on target with all lease obligations. Prior to having the 2nd fixed based operator at the South Bend airport, gas prices were the highest in the state, they are now the lowest in the state, which has attracted additional business. The Airport Authority provided the design and bid documents and FAA letter approving the transfer of 69 acres as part of the exchange agreement for the Redevelopment Commission making a $1.5 million investment into the ramp. Mike Danch will be assisting with the annexation and rezoning of the land which will be into the city by late August/September. Four bids were received with the awarded bid to Reith Reilly. 5. New Business A. River West Development Area (1) Approval of Fifth Amendment to Lease between Redevelopment Authority and Redevelopment Commission (College Football Hall of Fame Project) Mr. Relos presented the Fifth Amendment to Lease between Redevelopment Authority and Redevelopment Commission (College Football Hall of Fame Project). Original bonds issued on Hall of Fame and Century Center in 1993 for the entire Hall of Fame property were included in the lease. In 1997 a lease was entered into with South Bend Chocolate for their main building. The expansion area was included later which is roughly 70 x 30 and was included in their lease. We are looking to sell the property to South Bend Chocolate in its entirety. The approval of the Fifth Amendment will clear the title of the 70 x 30 space so the property can be sold as one unit. Upon a motion by Secretary Inks, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic the motion carried 5 -0, the Commission approved the Fifth Amendment to Lease between Redevelopment Authority and Redevelopment Commission (College Football Hall of Fame Project) submitted June 13, 2016.

This amendment also adjusts the lease expiration from November to May 2017. We will review the agreement with the tenant at the end of the lease. With development in the downtown area and smart streets completion there should be greater traffic flow to this retailer. We will look at a lease renewal May 2017.
