South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -July 20, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearings <br />continue ... <br />10:00 a.m., July 20, 2007, there were no <br />written remonstrances received related to <br />ResolutionNo.2353. <br />Mr. Schalliol noted that Resolution No. 2353 <br />relates to section 4.B.(10) of the development <br />plan. That section of the development plan is <br />related to project area activities and <br />processes for improvement of the <br />development area. <br />The proposed amendment allows for creation <br />of programs for voluntary repair and <br />rehabilitation of buildings and improvements <br />within the South Side Development Area. <br />Mr. Leone explained the need for this change <br />to the development plan. As part of our <br />comprehensive look at all of the city's <br />programs for repair and rehabilitation, <br />corridor programs, etc., we wanted to try to <br />find the most efficient and effective way of <br />accomplishing the programs that have been <br />going on for years. We're trying to find <br />better ways to do them, ways that are well <br />supported by the statutes and the most <br />appropriate mechanisms. As part of that <br />analysis we determined that there are more <br />effective ways, by using the Redevelopment <br />Commission, for some of these processes on <br />certain corridors and certain neighborhoods, <br />to use the Board of Works for others and <br />then, with the assistance of the Common <br />Council and more specific types of <br />allocations, to go ahead and try to rework the <br />way in which these plans are put together. <br />20 <br />
