South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —April 25, 2013 <br />Investment Department with Mr. Inks. It didn't take Mr. Ford long to discover why Mr. <br />Inks had the two most comfortable chairs in the city, in his office, and this is due to people <br />coming quite frequently to seek council. This was not limited to those from the Department <br />of Community Investment, but from other departments in the building as well. Mr. Inks' two <br />hobbies outside of Redevelopment are fishing and fine carpentry; these two hobbies <br />illustrate the virtues of that Mr. Inks has: attention to detail, his integrity, a sense of craft, <br />and an extreme amount of patience. This has made him absolutely superb as a professional <br />and role model for us all. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Varner, seconded by Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved Resolution No. 3137 commending Donald E. Inks for extraordinary <br />services to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. <br />Mr. Inks noted that he enjoyed the list of items on Resolution No. 3137 which included not <br />only large and small projects, but also projects that were very successful, moderately <br />successful, and not successful. This is the reality when doing economic development; one <br />may strike out once or twice. He also liked hearing of projects that he had a larger role in as <br />well as a much smaller role. When he reads through the projects listed on Resolution <br />No. 3137, he thinks of the primary people involved, such as Bill Schalliol and Dave Relos, <br />etc. Other people in the department primarily worked on these projects and he listened to <br />them and presented an occasional idea. This is very much a team work effort to get these <br />projects finished. <br />H.
