<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Ernest Szarwark, attorney for
<br />South Bend Fabricating, indicated they were seeking tax abatement in order to build a facility
<br />to be located in the area of the old South Bend Toy. He indicated this area was b- lighted. He
<br />indicated that he had a memo from Redevelopment which indicated that the Commission supported
<br />the urban development area designation for this location. Glenda Rae Hernandez, 702 S. Scott,
<br />indicated that the SE PAC resented the fact that they were not consulted about declaring this
<br />area an urban development site. She indicated they also resented the fact that they were being

<br />is worth per year. Mr. Szarwark indicated it would depend on the value of the buildings and
<br />the tax rate. Council Member Serge made a motion to adopt this resolution, seconded by Council
