South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — October 25, 2012 <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS (CONT.) <br />A. continued... <br />There have been phone contact, meetings, letters of intent, and other miscellaneous, unrecorded, <br />undocumented involvement of Bill Schalliol all of his own accord, not under request by the <br />Commission. So what's in it for him? Why is it so important to him that this project continues <br />with the original plan? Is there Money to be made from Contractor kickbacks? Is there a future <br />plan that hinges upon the development of a larger road down Fellows Street? Why do we even <br />have someone in his position that's not even a citizen of our city? Can someone who lives in a <br />neighboring city that competes with South Bend for jobs and revenue really have the best interest <br />of our city in mind? This really needs to be investigated thoroughly. If this project does move <br />forward, 1 will be requesting copies of all the bids and contract grants involved with this project, <br />and 1 hope none of them will be traceable to Bill Schalliol in any way. <br />There are many other issues that have crossed the desk of the Replanning Commission that I <br />have found to be questionable, but 1 don't believe in speaking without all the facts, so 1 haven't <br />raised any questions... yet. <br />In regards to the Fellows Street Corridor Project, 1 feel you have the opportunity to end the <br />misery that this project has brought the City on Thursday morning, October I 1 th. I am asking <br />one last time nicely to kill this project as a whole and let us repair the hurt feelings between <br />neighbors that it has caused. <br />Sincerely, <br />Adam C. Detwiler <br />B. Communication from Kala Heckman, <br />Kala klh822sbcglobal.net <br />Wed 1012412012 8:32 a.m. <br />Hello <br />Please do not vote for option C in the upcoming meeting. I feel like this is a bad option for the <br />local people. It will make it harder for us to get to the south side of town where the majority of us <br />do our shopping. It will not make things easier. The city will be losing more money by taking out <br />a gas station and will cost more to clean and get rid of the gas. Yes some people will have to <br />move with option A, however those that want to move actually voted for that option. People who <br />have to move want to. It will be harder for us to sell our houses now that the commission has <br />delayed it. People have bought houses because we thought it was going through after <br />EVERYONE ON THE COMMISSION VOTED FOR IT, back in June. You should understand <br />how upset and annoyed we are that it keeps getting changed and delayed. <br />0 <br />
