Staff Report Ms. Rita Kopczynski informed the Commission that the CETA position which was previously denied was then reviewed and approved by the mayor and.controller and now would be in effect until September 30, 1977, pending arrival of CETA funds from the federal government. She then spoke about the East Race River Wall and Canoe Portage statement which was covered earlier. She also mentioned that the Commission had received a letter from Lawson -Fisher asking the Commission to co-operate on a couple of other projects. She read this letter to the Commission and then read the reply she had drafted which, in essence, stated that the Commission was aware of the problem but could not now do anything in this regard. It was mentioned that Marsha Mullin could perhaps be prevailed upon to do some of the historical research involved. A discussion ensued as to whether or not the Commission could accept payment for doing this kind of work. Mr. Smith suggested that Mr. Dunfee be contacted on this matter. 7. Old Business Mr. Oxian reported that he had been interviewed on the "Chronicle" show on WNDU and.had discussed the Beiger Heritage Foundation. Ms. Davisson and Ms. Sporleder said it could possibly be improper to take a stand as a member of the Commission without discussing it before with the Commission. There was discussion on just what policy the Commission should take in regard to such matters. 8. New Business Ms. Sporleder mentioned that it might consider for purchase a a reproduction of the "Sweets Catalog". No action was taken in this matter. Mr. Oxian then mentioned that the National Trust Convention -- would meet in Chicago in 1978 and he suggested that the Commis- sion should think about whether it could set up something like a walking tour within the city. There was discussion on this matter and Mr. Smith voiced the opinion that it was a good idea. Mr. Oxian then stated that an announcement in the paper that the Commission is holding these monthly meetings should be made. It was decided that perhaps Jenne Derbeck could write a short article and. that the office could notify her before the meeting is to be held. She could also be provided with an agenda so that'she could write the article accordingly.
