<br />REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED (CONTINUED)
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, attorney for
<br />the Economic Development Commission, indicated this was a proposed Economic Development
<br />Bond financing the acquisition of the north forty -two feet of property commonly known as the
<br />Frances Shop Building and the refurbishing of that structure. He indicated this would allow
<br />Dainty Maid to expand their business, and lease the balance of the structure. Council Member
<br />Horvath made a motion to adopt this resolution, seconded by Council Member Dombrowski. The
<br />resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes.
<br />RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND REQUESTING DELETION
<br />FROM THE 1979 -1981 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT AP-
<br />PLICATION THE AMOUNT OF $3,000,000.00, REFERRED TO AS
<br />A "SECTION 108 LOAN."
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Sixth District Councilman, Walter
<br />Kopczynski, indicated there has been development in the Monroe /Sample area since the Council
<br />voted on the grant application. He said this has changed the complexion of that area, and
<br />this $3,000.00 was no longer needed to redevelop that area. Mr. Goerge Proctor- Smith, 1702
<br />Hildreth, indicated that the residents of the Southeast Neighborhood wanted redevelopment, but
<br />they wanted the neighborhood to remain residential. He spoke some rather harsh words against
<br />the Redevelopment Commission. Mr. F. Jay Nimtz, President of the Redevelopment Commission,
<br />spoke on behalf on the Commission. Glenda Hernandez, 702 E. South, indicated that the basic
<br />premises for seeking the Section 108 Loan was for Business Systems; and since they were leaving
<br />the City, that was no longer necessary. Mr. Charles Sinclair, 522 E. St. Joseph, commended
<br />Councilman Kopczynski. He indicated they were not a blighted area, but a neighborhood that
<br />needs help. Council Member Miller indicated that the $3,000,000 Section 108 Loan was not
<br />only for the Monroe /Sample area, but it was also for the left bank of the river. He made a
<br />motion to defeat this resolution, seconded by Council Member Taylor. Council Member Adams
<br />indicated she could not support this motion. The resolution was defeated by a roll call vote
<br />of six ayes and three nays (Council Members Kopcyznski, Adams and Horvath.)
