June 20, 1977 Page 4 showing of 3 one-hour video tapes on the game, Architecture: American Style to be done at I. U.S.B. There was some discussion on the matching funds for this project. Ms. Davisson then said she wanted to engage Lou Sabo to take about twenty slides on the Queen Anne style of architecture for the July taping of the "Patchwork" show on WNIT. Ms. Davisson then informed the Commission that there was no monitor- ing of the C.D. funds in the absence of a Planner - pointing up the need to get a Planner in the vacant position, and Mr. Oxian reported that he would instruct his brother to look into this matter. Mr. Tom Catanzarite of the County Council then approached the Com- mission and spoke of the possibility of making the position of Historic Preservation Planner.part of the County budget. It was suggested that Mr. John Oxian go before the County Commissioners with this request. Mr. Catanzarite said another possibility is to have this position taken up by the Area Plan Commission as their personnel. Standards and Historic Plan Mr. Oxian stated that the Commission members had been sent copies of the guidelines for the Review Board subject to their comments. Ms. Davisson felt that this project is somewhat premature and should come under the jurisdiction of the Historic Preservation Planner, when that person is hired. Mr.-Oxian said that since the County Survey was completed and 31 landmarks had been designated. in the county, the Commission could no longer postpone the organization and powers of a Review Boaxd and so comments were needed right now and not in a year. Presidential Report Mr. Oxian informed the Commission that he had been interviewed, by a Mrs. Lambert who represented the National Research Center of the Arts, Inc. They are gathering statistics of non-profit and cultural organizations of the United States. A letter that had been sent by Louis Harris, Chairman of this center was read,to the Commission. Staff Report Ms. Gilbert requested permission to purchase three, three-tier file cabinets for 3 x 5 index cards to file the cards now being catalogued for the slides. She was instructed to check if there were any old, unused -file drawers of this kind within the build- ing before buying any. Ms. Gilbert reported that she, at the°suggestion of Mr. Oxian, had written a letter to Ms. Belle Pendleton informing her that she had - been engaged to serve as research assistant from July 15 to Septem- ber 15, a period of two months, for which she would be paid $500.00 per month.
