St. Louis Boulevard has generated concerns about maintenance, obsolescence, and client <br /> accessibility. The City Engineering Department has inspected the property and concluded that the level <br /> of repair needed to correct problems exceeds the benefit in retaining this building for the South Bend <br /> I luman Rights Commission's active use. <br /> Fortunately, the City has identified first floor office space at a 19 Niles Avenue which ideally <br /> meets all the South Bend Human Rights Commission's needs, including a good size, well appointed <br /> conference room. With education and outreach being an integral part of the Human Rights <br /> Commission's activity, this is very positive. The lease is for a five (5) year term with another five (5) <br /> year renewal and rent of$3,555.00 per month. <br /> Human Rights Commission Director Lonnie Douglas and his entire staff are grateful for this <br /> opportunity and look forward to a move to 319 Niles Avenue, Because Mr. Douglas cannot be present <br /> at the June 1 1 Council meeting due to his required attendance at a national equal employment event, I <br /> will provide information from the Commission, and Controller Mark Neal will also present this <br /> Resolution to the Council at its Committee and regular meeting. <br /> Thank our ou for consideration.
