South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 19, 2010 parcels within this area that are listed for bid at the County Commissioner’s tax sale. In addition to these 24 parcels, there is also one parcel in the South Bend Central Development Area staff feels would be important to acquire for future parking needs, and to facilitate future development opportunities in its block. Staff believes buying these parcels from the tax sale will be much cheaper than through the normal acquisition process at a later date. Since these properties are not yet on the acquisition list, staff is asking for an addendum to the Master Agency Agreement between the Commission and the Board of Public Works, to allow the Board of Public Works to purchase the parcels on the Commission’s behalf. The Commission would then purchase these properties from the Board of Public Works once the Development Plan is amended to allow for their acquisition. Staff is currently researching funding sources for these purchases, and this agreement would move forward only if funding is secured. Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 2653, to allow the Board of Works to register and bid on these properties, with a not to exceed total cost of $250,000.
