The <br /> Redevelopment Commission subsequently passed a resolution instructing the Department of Community <br /> Investment to prepare an amendment to the development area plan that included these parcels. <br /> The proposed resolution accomplishes three objectives. First,it reiterates support for making these <br /> changes. Second,it instructs the Department of Community Investment to start the formal process as soon <br /> as reasonably feasible.Finally,it sets a deadline of April 1,2018 for that process to begin. If the deadline <br /> is not met,there will be a meeting in the Community Investment Committee to discuss progress and an <br /> updated timeline for implementation of these changes. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. I will attend the Committee and Council meetings to address any <br /> questions that the Council may have. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r <br /> J es Mueller <br /> Executive Director <br /> Department of Community Investment <br /> b� <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY ( INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 14005 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Bvld.I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.93711 www.southbendin.gov <br />
