South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—Meetingdate <br /> 7. PROGRESS REPORTS (CONT.) <br /> C. Other <br /> The face value of the three properties was <br /> $27,275. We obtained them for $3,912. At the <br /> next meeting there will be a professional <br /> services agreement with Mitch Heppenheimer <br /> who has in the past taken properties through the <br /> notification process. He is charging what he <br /> has always charged in the past. <br /> Mr. Inks asked if these were subject to the one <br /> year redemption. Mr. Relos responded they <br /> are. In this sale the owners have one year to <br /> redeem them. We did buy three at last <br /> September's tax sale. Two were redeemed. <br /> The one at Ignition Park South was not <br /> redeemed. <br /> Mr. Inks asked if to redeem them we receive <br /> our investment plus ten percent. Mr. Relos <br /> replied that we would, and in addition, we <br /> would recoup our legal and title report <br /> expenses through Mr. Heppenheimer. <br /> Mr. Inks also noted that Aaron Perri, Director <br /> of Downtown South Bend (DTSB), is here to <br /> provide an update on parking in the downtown <br /> area. Last year the Commission sent out <br /> requests for proposals to manage its parking <br /> garages and on-street parking. DTSB was <br /> awarded the contract. The Commission asked <br /> that DTSB report back after six months on the <br /> status of the garages and surface lots. <br /> Mr. Perri reported that the parking program <br /> remains strong. DTSB promised downtown <br /> parkers that the garages would be clean, safe <br /> and professional. They've gone to 24/7 <br /> staffing contracts, so now there is someone <br /> monitoring the garages throughout the night. <br /> 16 <br />
