January 13, 1975 Page 2 illustrations of the work he had done in Medina, Ohio. Mr. Gaede rec- ommended to the Commission that if they only have a limited amount of funds, it would be better to commission a preliminary survey of the _entire city rather than to don an in-depth survey of one particular area. He also said that if his firm received the commission, that he and Mr. Zarney would do all the evaluative work in the city, they would not use students. Mr. Smith thanked them both.for coming to South Bend, and said that the Commission would keep them informed as to their plans. Mr. Smith next introduced Mr. Catanzorite. Mr. Catanzorite explained that he would be serving on the Land Use and Planning Committee for -the County, and wished to become acquainted with the work of the HP Com- mission and to know what the County Council might expect from the HP Commission in the near future. He explained that according to the new legislation the HP Commission would have to go before the County Council instead of the County Commissioners, as zoning power now is in the hands of the Council. Mr. Smith and Mr. Oxian stated that before going to the Council with any recommendations, such as the declaration of an historic landmark, that they would request a chance to familiarize the Council with the necessary background information, perhaps in a caucus meeting. 4.
