April 1�+, 1975 Page 2 Commission. She is a graduate student at Texas Tech University studying Museum Science and would like to work for the Commission under the College Work Study Program which would mean the Commission would only have to pay %20 of her salary. Mr. Nimtz asked if there was any money in the budget to even pay %20 of her salary. Ms. Schlereth responded that there was not, but if the Commission was interested in hiring her they might wish to alter their line items and find money from other categories. 6. Old Business Community Development & Consultant Selection Mr. Oxian read the letter which he read before the Common Council during their public hearings on April 7, 1975 concerning the - Community Development proposal submitted to the federal govern- ment by the city. A brief discussion ensured, detailing what had happened with the Commission's request regarding money under this proposal, how a formal proposal had not been submitted by the Commission and the ineffectiveness of the Commission's come mittee structure and its reliance on verbal assurances. Mr. Oxian stated that Mr. Hojnacki had informed the Common Council that they need not approve the allocation of funds under the Community Development proposal, and that he would find money for the Commission for the purposes of a survey, probably sometime after July 15th. Consequent to this discussion, the Commission next moved on to consider the selection of a consultant to undertake the survey of the city and county. The Commission discussed whether they should first decide what they would like included in a survey or first decide on a consultant and then work out with that firm what they would include. After much discussion on the benefits of going with a local firm and the problems that might or might not be involved if the Commission were to select the firm of - Crumlish/Sporleder while Ms. Sporleder was a member of the Com- mission, Ms. Sporleder absented herself from the room. After some additional discussion Mr. Rothermel moved that the Commis - sion the firm of Crumlish/SlPrleder & Associates as consultant's to the Commission to undertake a survey of the city and county, with the direction to them that the Commission would like them to employ an outside consultant (preferably the firm of Visnapu & Gaede of Cleveland) to evaluate their (Crumlish/ Sporleder) work and give it a review by a firm with a national reputation in the field of historic preservation. Mr. Nimtz seconded the motion and Mr. Oxian put the question to a vote. Mr. Nimtz, Mr. Oxian, Mr. Rothermel and Ms. Woolridge voted Aye. Ms. Davisson abstained. Mr. Rothermel next moved that there be no further discussion - on the position of Ms. Sporleder until the next meeting. Mr. Nimtz sec- onded the motion. Mr. Rothermel directed Ms. Schlereth to ask Mr. Johnson of the Area Plan Commission for a statement as to his position regarding Ms. Sporleder's retention on the Commission if her husband's firm accepts the Commission's offer.
