RF'MTT.AR MEETING
<br />ORDINANCES, FIRST AND SECOND READING (CONTINUED)
<br />the rules be suspended and that the public hearing and third reading on the ordinance be held
<br />at this time. Councilman Kopczynski seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Mr.
<br />Fedder then introduced Attorney Warren Deahl who spoke for the ordinance. Mr. Deahl said that
<br />South Bend Toy has been in the community for 100 years and that the ordinance approves the
<br />issuance of revenue bonds in the amount of $1,600,000 so that the city can acquire the property
<br />owned by the Bendix Corporation at 3300 West Sample Street for lease to the South Bend Toy
<br />Mfg. Co., Inc. This plant would allow them to expand their operations and hire an additional
<br />100 people. This would be adding to the tax base of the community and would be of benefit to
<br />the City of South Bend. Miss Guthrie asked Mr. Deahl of the city will be acquiring the property
<br />for leasing and if it will stay on the tax rolls. Mr. Fedder answered that it would be on''.the
<br />tax rolls and will not become a general obligation of the city. A local bank is purchasing
<br />the bonds. The city will take title and hold it until South Bend Toy acquires ownership. The
<br />ordinance had third reading. Councilman Kopczynski made a motion that the ordinance pass,
<br />seconded by Councilman Taylor. The ordinance passed by a:roll call vote of eight ayes
<br />(Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth) one
<br />absent (Councilman Parent).

<br />TRUST INDENTURE AND BONDS AND TO AUTHORIZE THE
<br />ISSUANCE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS
<br />PERTAINING TO ROYAL INNS OF SOUTH BEND, A
<br />LIMITED PARTNERSHIP.
<br />This ordinance had first reading. Councilman Kopczynski objected to the second reading and made
<br />a motion that everything after the title be stricken and an amended ordinance be submitted at
<br />this time. Councilman Horvath seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. The ordinance had
<br />second reading in full. Councilman Newburn made a motion that the rules be suspended and the
<br />public hearing and third reading on the ordinance be held at this time. Councilman Taylor
<br />seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Councilman Taylor made a motion that the
<br />Council approve Resolution 1 -72 of the South Bend Economic Development Commission, concerning
<br />Royal Inns of South Bend and dated March 30, 1972. Councilman Kopczynski seconded the motion
<br />and it carried. Mr. Fedder explained to the Council that because of a technicality in the
<br />language of the original ordinance pertaining to Royal Inns, the bond counsel in Indianapolis
<br />had recommended that the original ordinance be repealed and a new ordinance submitted. Mr.
<br />Fedder then introduced Mr. Charles Boynton, Attorney with offices in the St. Joseph Bank Building.
<br />Mr. Boynton explained that the bond counsel was concerned about the taxable basis of the bonds
<br />and wanted to make the bonds more salable. This is just a matter of the technical language of
<br />the ordinance but they felt it would be better to repeal the former ordinance and submit a new
<br />one rather than to try to amend the previously passed ordinance. The ordinance had third reading.
<br />Councilman Kopczynski made a motion that the ordinance pass, seconded by Councilman Newburn.
<br />The ordinance passed by a roll call vote of eight ayes (Councilmen Serge Szymkowiak, Miller,
<br />Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth) one absent (Councilman Parent).
