South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—September 13, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> F. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Mr. Downes noted that the City and the <br /> Redevelopment Commission can not to <br /> nothing. We were provided a variety of <br /> options, none of which we were entirely <br /> happy with. We won't please everyone but <br /> doing nothing is not an option. <br /> Mr. Davis expressed his uneasiness with the <br /> survey process. People voted for Alternative <br /> A if they want their property to be acquired. <br /> Then they will be gone and everyone else in <br /> the neighborhood has to live with the result. <br /> Mr. Davis voiced his strong opposition to the <br /> city taking properties that pay taxes off the <br /> tax roll. <br /> Mr. Davis asked if Christopher B. Burke <br /> Engineering was still being paid for its <br /> services. Mr. Schalliol replied that it is likely <br /> the city has well exceeded the current <br /> contract. If the city goes with Alternate A <br /> there will be additional contract expenses. If <br /> the choice is Alternate C there would be new <br /> contract expenses as well as survey and <br /> environmental costs. Burke Engineering <br /> would be continuing with the project. <br /> Mr. Davis noted that the cart is being pushed, <br /> and in doing so more variables are being <br /> added. This project has not been dealt with <br /> with the transparencies everyone has asked <br /> for. Mr. Davis asked how the survey was <br /> done per household. Mr. Schalliol explained <br /> that some households submitted more than <br /> one response (husband and wife). <br /> 28 <br />
