Letter dated August 1, 1975, to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission, from Mr. Harrison Miller: Ms. Jeanne Derbeck, South Bend Tribune Reporter, said she has a "copy of a letter written by Mr. Harrison Miller, a former staff member here, to the Re- development Commission, and I am wondering if you have received this letter ?" Mr. Brownell said he has not seen the letter. President Nimtz stated he received the letter about 9:57 a.m., as he walked into the Commission Meeting this morning. Mr. John R. Kagel, Executive Director of the Downtown South Bend Council, asked if Harrison Miller is still an employee of the City, or administration; what Mr. Miller's position is now, and whether it may be in the development business; Ms. Derbeck asked what Mr. Miller's position was with this Department? In answer to the questions Mr-Brownell advised Mr. Miller has not been with our Department as of December 31,1974, and that Mr. Miller's present employment is unknown. Mr. Miller's position with the Department of Redevelopment was Assistant Director in charge of Acquisition at one time, and later in charge of program assign- ments. President Nimtz, in reply to Ms. Derbeck, advised as he just re- ceived the letter prior to the meeting this morning, he will refer this letter to Mr. Brownell and Mr. Butler for review and report to the Commission at the next meeting. It is inappropriate, at this time, to make any comment concerning Mr. Miller's letter as to what procedure he recommends to proceed. Of course, any citizen can make suggestions to the Commission, and we are pleased to have them; but as to his specific recommendations the Chair said the staff should look them over, and particularly our Commission Legal Counsel, as to what procedure we should use.
