2 Dr. Fleming moved to table the above request as read and outlined. C) RESOLUTION R-C ASSIGNING TAX SALE CERTIFICATES TO THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND This is process that the County and the City engage in and has been beneficial to both sides. By this resolution 30 parcels that are acquired by tax sale certificate and held by the County are being contemplated to be assigned to the City of South Bend through its Board of Public Works. One I would like to point out is 115 S. Lafayette. This is the Lafayette Building and hopefully it will begin the process of restoring that building to a state where it could be used here in the downtown South Bend area. Mr. Thomas. I see it says for no consideration. It would be nice if they maybe closed a TIF district or two. Counsel. I am unaware of what the Cities intentions are to any of these properties including the Lafayette Building. I was basing my assumption on past practices. Dr. Fleming moved to accept the above requests as read and outlined. D) RESOLUTION R-C PORTAGE MANOR REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO USE SUITE C FOR FRIENDS OF PORTAGE MANOR INC., AN INDIANA NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZED TO SUPPORT PORTAGE MANOR Peter Agostino, Deputy County Attorney, 131 S. Taylor St. This would give permission for a not for profit corporation, Friends of Portage Manor Inc., which is organized recently under the laws of Indiana to support the financial needs of Portage Manor. This is a property owned by the County so the Commissioners have the right to control the use of the property. The request is to allow the use of a suite in the facility for activities related to fund raising and otherwise supporting Portage Manor. Mr. Thomas. I was contacted by some residents of the facility wanting to raise funds and explained this is not how it is not normally done. I suggested that other entities create nonprofit entities. This is a good thing. Dr. Fleming. Would suite C be there permanent location as far as their office space or just for meetings? Mr. Agostino. They tend to just have a computer and keep records relating to the organization and have meetings occasionally. They are planning a fund raiser later in the year. So, there will be a couple of meetings. I would say permanent for now. Mr. Thomas. I would think that for them to receive a donation in the mail or for records they would have to have an address. This allows them to use this as their address. This is similar to what we did recently for EMS. Dr. Fleming moved to accept the above request as read and outlined. E) AN APPOINTMENT TO THE NEW CARLISLE-OLIVE TOWNSHIP
