South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard, Room 1308, South Bend, Indiana <br />Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item <br />D ATE : October 24, 2024 <br />FROM: Joseph Molnar, Assistant Director of Growth & <br />Opportunity <br />SUBJECT: Second Amendment – Tree Nursery Agreement <br />Funding Source* (circle) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General; Riv. East Res. <br />* Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller, then the <br />authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect. <br />PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Amend and Restate the Tree Nursery Agreement approved by RDC on April 11, 2017 <br />On April 11, 2017, the RDC approved a Tree Nursery Agreement with the City of South Bend, Indiana Venues, <br />Parks and Arts Department through their Board of Park Commissioners to establish and disperse an urban tree <br />nursery program on scattered lots throughout the City. Now VPA and DCI Staff wish to discontinue the use of the <br />prior approved lots as urban tree nurseries and instead focus on one lot for such use located in Ignition Park, <br />referred to as the “RDC Lot” in this agreement. <br />The existing urban tree nurseries on the scattered lots will be decommissioned as the trees age to maturity to be <br />transplanted and will not be replaced, allowing for these lots to be redeveloped in the future. VPA agrees to <br />plant and provide ongoing maintenance and care to the new urban tree nursery located at the “RDC Lot” and <br />assume all expenses and fees related to the maintenance of the nursery. <br />_________________________Pres/V-Pres <br />ATTEST: __________________Secretary <br />Date: ____________________ <br /> APPROVED Not Approved <br />SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION <br />10-24-2024 <br />
