May ll.. 1976 Page 2 Ruth Price. -Ms. Price brought the Commission up-to-date on what was happening in historic preservation throughout the state. She remarked that federal funding was suspended in the State of Indiana. She said that several grants-in-aid would -- not be allowed. She mentioned that the state is afraid of im- pact statements and that the cause of historic preservation muse have state-wide support, perhaps through a state-wide lobby. Mr. Smith then thanked Ms. Price for acquainting the Commission with these facts. Mr. Rinderle next introduced, Jane Hoadley who is the Public Relations Director of McDonald's Restaurants. She spoke about the possibility of distribution of the Auto Tour Guide through the McDonald's Restaurants. She informed the Commission that it would be advertised in the store bulletins, posters and newspapers, as well as on radio spots. The maps would be distributed by request only over the counter. She said that she had not as yet talked to the Operations Manager as to the cost. Mr. Nimtz asked what would be McDonald's attitude about other com- mercial enterprises distributing these maps. Ms. Hoadley said there would be no problem. It was asked whether McDonald's would cover part of the production costs added to the cost of printing an extra 15,000 maps. Mr. Nimtz suggested that perhaps some guidance in - this area could come from the County Attorney's office. Ms. Da- visson made a motion that Al Stivers continue the responsibility of talking with the County Attorney's office as to the legality of the Commission's letting McDonald distribute the maps. He is also to negotiate with McDonald's as to the production costs, subject to approval by the Commission. Mr. Nimtz seconded this motion and it passed unanimously. Ms. Hoadley said distribution of the maps would be during the last week in June. Mr. Nimtz made a motion that the Commission will look with favor on any other commercial enterprises that desire the same type of arrangement -- as is made with McDonald's if such arrangement is made. Ms. Spor- leder seconded this motion and it passed unanimously. Mr.. Nimtz then said he had discussed with Brian Crumlish the mat- ter of the copyright on the map and Mr. Crumlish stated that it - was at the suggestion of the printer and that it was not for per- sonal gain or aggrandizement. It is up to the Commission to use this map and make whatever arrangement it wishes for its use. 4.
