Also, the River Bend Plaza Advisory 'Committee ap- pointed Ms. Pat DeClercq, Clerk of the Board'of Works, as Chairman of St. Patrick's day celebration, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., on St. Patrick's day. This will be the first time we have had any official celebration on that day and we will get a great many things done. We will have good cooperation from the businesses and will get enthusiasm and cooperate with Notre Dame. Mr. Kagel said this is the "Home of the Irish" and there has been no official community function having to do with St. Patrick's day. People have indicated who have come into our town as visitors and were actually surprised our City has nothing for that day. This is something that could be a tradition. Mr. Ed Soltesz affirmed they are hoping to have it on an on -going basis. HUD Meeting, Thursday, February 27, 1975: Mr. Brownell advised there will be a meeting, Thursday, February 27, with HUD, in Indianapolis, to review the proposed Plaza Park Contract 1, which was awarded by our Commission to Arco Engineering Construction Corporation. This item was previously discussed, under "Communications, 4a," above. Mr. Brownell said he wanted the Commissioners to be aware of this meeting and that we believe HUD will concur. He had discussed the contract with Mr. Bassett (HUD Area Office representative who did the work on this matter) and he had agreed to hold the letter up. Mr. Fisher talked to them and they advised the letter had been signed and mailed with- out realizing it, and a meeting has now been set up to re- view the matter Thursday. Mr. Lawson is of the opinion Mr. Bassett will change his mind and approve the contract. HUD MEETING, FEBRUARY 27, 1975, RE PLAZA PARK CONTRACT
