REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 13, 1999 <br />rules and they have not done this review recently. This abatement could be a test case for the <br />Council to review the whole tax abatement process which is overdue. He asked how local labor is <br />defined? He asked the Community and Economic Development Committee in 2000 to look at <br />requirements and perhaps some type of internal tracking record with the contractors filling out <br />forms. The percentage of local citizens used would equal the percentage of the tax abatement. He <br />noted that perhaps the Council is holding Uniroyal to higher standards and they need to look at what <br />the purpose of tax abatements are and not let so many years go by before a review is completed. He <br />noted that he will not be supporting this tax abatement. <br />Councilmember Hosinski indicated that he had no comments to make on this issue. <br />Council President Coleman noted that Councilmember Ujdak's comments were well taken and the <br />Council needs to look at the tax abatement ordinance. His comment is that there is a standard being <br />imposed on Uniroyal that is higher than others that have received tax abatement and have used <br />contractors from outside of St. Joseph County. He noted that Uniroyal does deserve some of the <br />trashing that it has received. However, the Council is faced this evening to fairly discharge their <br />duties in the granting of this abatement. He noted that he has seen the tax abatement ordinance <br />reviewed and reshaped but the Council now needs to review it again. He noted that this is a <br />fundamental question of fairness that the Council uphold the same standards for this petitioner as <br />they have others in the past. He further noted that he is not inclined to make a change in how the <br />Council currently provides abatement solely for this one petitioner and the standards must be <br />uniform. <br />Councilmember Pfeifer made a motion to adopt this Resolution. Councilmember Varner seconded <br />the motion which was defeated by a roll call vote of four (4) aye votes by Councilmembers Pfeifer, <br />Kelly, Varner and Coleman and five (5) nay votes by Councilmembers Aranowski, King, Ujdak, <br />Hosinski and Sniadecki. <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2819-99 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND DESIGNATING CERTAIN <br />AREAS WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br />INDIANA, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1202 SOUTH <br />LAFAYETTE BOULEVARD AN ECONOMIC <br />REVITALIZATION AREA FOR PURPOSES OF A THREE <br />(3) YEAR REAL PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT FOR <br />PTD PROPERTIES, INC.
