September 20, 1976 Page 3 informed the Commission that the head of one monument had been re- placed but that -he needed funds to replace the second as it had been lost for several years. He invited the Commission to visit the Cem- etery and appraise itself of the amount of vandalism occuring. Ms. Kopezynski stated that no word had been received from Rollin Ferrand regarding the letter sent to him in re the proposed -Chapin Street widening. She then advised the Commission that a letter had been received from Tom Catanzarite that, due to serving as a County Councilman, he very frequently could not make Commission meetings if they were held on Tuesdays. 6. Committee Reports Budget and Finance Mr. Oxian informed the Commission that some members of the Budget and Finance Committee had a conference with Mr. Gilkey, Director of Human Resources and Community Development regarding Community Devel- opment funds.

She mentioned that the Area Plan Commission had already written"a letter of endorsement. Ms. Davisson then made a motion that the Commission
