Mr. Rinderle also stated that the Land- marks Foundation will provide more information on the tax easement program and - informed him that the deadline for grant applications for '76 -'77 ad arrived. He, therefore, immediately applied for $8,000 to be used for the City Survey to fund a staff position or a booklet. Mr. Rinderle then emphasized the need for permanent staff funding and reported that both CETA positions will probably be funded for another six months. In addition, he mentioned that several persons had called and wanted advice on how to restore their homes. He said the "Old House Jouanal" had many good, "How -to" articles which would be helpful in this respect and, asked Commission approval to pur- chase all back issues to October, 1973, and to subscribe to this periodical. Mr. Oxian made a motion that the Commission subscribe and buy the back issues. Mr. Wasielewski seconded this motion and it passed unanimously. Mr. Rinderle then asked Commission approval for him and the staff to go to Indianapolis to meet with perservation officials and to tour their facilities. It was indicated that both mileage and lunch expense would be paid for by the Commission. Mr. Roth - ermel moved that these expenses be approved and Mr. Wasielewski seconded this motion and it passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian re- marked that the Commission should be given a report of the trip. Walter Rinderle next brought up the reception for the owners of homes that are included on the Auto Tour Map. He said the office had not yet been given an estimate of what it would cost to have it at Tippecanoe Place. Mr. Oxian said that he would take it up at a Southhold Board meeting to be held on Thursday.

He further advised that the City Survey should first be completed, and he stressed that the Commission should establish goals and determine for whom the plan is in- - tended. The Commission itself should undertake a policy state- ment. It was further brought out that the Historic Plan should be done professionally. 7.
