August 3, 1976 Page 3 Ms. Sporleder then discussed the brick Greek Revival house, owned by the Ansel Millars" on Rosewood Road. She said there is a strong possibility that this superior structure would be torn down unless it could be moved from the site. It is his- torically significant and research has been done on it. There is a brick on the back side of this house which bears the ini- tials W.W. Brick and the date 18+5. It has not been declared a landmark. Ms. Kopczynski remarked that she had been out to view it and the research that had been done was discussed. Mrs. Doyle asked about the price for the house but no one seemed to know. Mr. Gerald Kline had also viewed the house. An ad in the newspaper specified that bids for the house, or its interior components would be accepted after August 16. Legal Mr. Nimtz is still awaiting action on the procedural report for purchases and bids. It is still in the attorney's office. Public Relations and Education Ms. Davisson informed the Commission that the tallying of ex- penses for the County Survey for the application for the $5,000 National Park Service grant had been completed and sent to Mr. Cloud in Indianapolis. There was only one point in question and that concerned Marsha Mullin's employment by the Commission last summer. Part of her payroll was met by Texas Tech University on a work -study program. Ms. Davisson, however, felt that the expenses were about $1,000 over the matching funds of $10,000, but that the Commission may get correspondence relative to this item. She then discussed the ongoing work on the procedural manual and added that John Oxian was in the process of producing an outline of the methods used in declaring an historic landmark. Ms. Davisson then discussed community organizations and the necessity of meeting with these people. She mentioned INPIRG and the report on "red- lining" submitted by Conrad Damian. It was suggested that perhaps a luncheon to which Mr. Damian would be invited might be feasible. Mr. Damian was previously con- tacted to give a presentation at a time to be determined in early September. It was suggested that perhaps a dinner meeting might be more suitable. It was further suggested that perhaps Mr. Tom Brodan of the University of Notre Dame and the Urban Observatory should also be invited and have input as to what is being done -- relative to neighborhood conservation. Mr. Gaylen Allsop, a dep- uty city attorney, for the Board of Public Safety, then suggested that the Commission contact Todd Areson, director of the Urban Observatory concerning a "walk- through" meeting on a study of the sub- standard building bureau on Wednesday, August 11, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mayor's Conference Room.
