South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —May 31, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />H. Ratification of Temporary Use Agreements <br />continued... <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. <br />Davis and unanimously carried, the Commission <br />ratified the Temporary Use Agreements approved <br />by staff since the May 8, meeting. <br />Mr. Davis asked whether the Commission abides <br />by the Council's minority and women's business <br />ordinance related to how contracts are bid out and <br />awarded. Mr. Inks answered that he did not recall <br />any in -house discussion about how the items on the <br />lists relate to the ordinance. The appraisers used <br />are all MAI certified appraisers; top level certified <br />in the State of Indiana. They are used because it's <br />not unusual for the City of end up in court on an <br />acquisition of property. <br />Mr. Downes stated that he believes some effort <br />ought to be made to see if there are other qualified <br />appraisers in the area. <br />Mr. Davis noted to Ms. Jones that when we are <br />ready to take votes there is quick action to motion <br />without opportunity to discuss items. He needs a <br />proper understanding of orders. Ms. Jones <br />responded that after the staff report is given, she <br />can pause for questions; there can also be <br />discussion following the motion and second. <br />Mr. Meteiver said that from a parliamentary <br />procedure standpoint, it is preferable to have a <br />motion and second on the table before an item is <br />discussed. There is a staff report presented, and <br />then a motion to approve whatever the staff report <br />is requesting and a second. That then sets the stage <br />for the discussion that occurs concerning that <br />particular motion and second. He suggested Ms. <br />28 <br />COMMISSION RATIFIED THE TEMPORARY USE <br />AGREEMENTS APPROVED BY STAFF SINCE THE <br />MAY 8, MEETING <br />
