South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—September 13, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (3) continued... <br /> Sinco Pools and related relocation expenses <br /> for Sinco to move from East Sample Street to <br /> the corner of South Michigan and Dayton. <br /> At that time, the owner of Sinco did his best <br /> to estimate his relocation costs. Since that <br /> time, however, unexpected costs have <br /> accumulated. <br /> While going through the process of getting <br /> the needed permits for relocation, the Fire <br /> Department raised issues with the chemicals <br /> used by Sinco. Because the department <br /> could not explicitly tell Sinco what issues <br /> needed to be dealt with, Sinco had to hire an <br /> outside firm to sort through state and local <br /> regulations. <br /> In addition, Sinco had to install additional <br /> items not originally planned, including fire <br /> suppression and monitoring equipment. <br /> Those requirements cost Sinco an additional <br /> $6,884, which expenses were approved by <br /> the Commission on May 10, 2011. Since <br /> that time, Sinco has been working with the <br /> Fire Department to satisfy its concerns. As <br /> things progressed, the Fire Department <br /> identified additional items, thereby causing <br /> Sinco to incur more costs. Sinco now has an <br /> occupancy permit, but is requesting an <br /> additional $3,562.50 for three items; an <br /> additional $3,112.50 for two professional <br /> services, and $450 for additional computer <br /> services. Under the Commission's relocation <br /> policy, those costs are eligible relocation <br /> expenses. Staff believes Sinco put forth its <br /> best efforts in estimating the amount needed <br /> 20 <br />
