PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT <br /> Legal Counsel Kennedy explained the circumstances of the Programmatic Agreement <br /> between the Historic Preservation Commission and the Department of Community <br /> Investment allowing for the execution of certain duties by Historic Preservation <br /> Commission staff, specifically Section 106 Review. Staff conducts Section 106 review <br /> for projects including HUD grant disbursement; for example,Lead remediation grant <br /> projects and Community Development Block Grants(CDBG). The agreement is <br /> currently in draft form because there are three Native American Tribes that want to party <br /> to it,and they have asked for more time to review the document. The document is still <br /> being reviewed by the other parties,and any comments would need to be received on the <br /> current draft. The Historic Preservation Commission will empower President Gelfman <br /> to sign on behalf of the Commission. Administrator Feasel stated that continuing <br /> education regarding Section 106 Review opportunities are available at the 2020 Historic <br /> Preservation Conference that will be hosted in South Bend. <br /> Commissioner Annis made a motion to authorize Commission President Michele Gelfman to serve <br /> as signatory to the Programmatic Agreement.
