Mr. Al Stivers seconded and the motion passed. Mr. Wasielewski reported that a response must be drafted to the Board of County Commissioners regarding the 12% cut in the budget. There was quite a bat of discussion on this matter. Mr. Wasielewski, Mr. Kline, Mr. Oxian, and Mr. Stivers voted that the Commission make a 12% cut or $1,992.00 in the 1979 Commission budget. Mrs. Price and Mr. Nimtz voted for a larger cut. 479 5. Correspondence Mr. Wasielewski reported receiving two letters from Cole Associates concerning the reconstruction of the Colfax Avenue bridge. In es- sence, they stated that the proposed action will have no adverse im- pact upon the West Washington Historic District. Mr. Wasielewsk sug- gested that the Commission members receive a copy of the report and an environmental impact committee meeting should be set upregarding this matter. The Commission received an announcement of a Community Conservation Workshop "Saving Urban Neighborhoods" at I.U.S.B on May 18th. Mr. • Wasielewski suggested that he would write them a letter to point out that several local organizations were overlooked in setting up the panel on preservation. Mr. Nimtz moved that Mrs. Price and Mr. Stam- per attend this conference and their fees be paid. Ms. Sporleder seconded this motion. Motion passed with John Oxian abstaining. 479 6. Committee Reports City Survey Mr. Brian Crumlish gave a very comprehensive p pdate of the progress of the City Survey. He mentioned that his firm has been working 6-8 months on the survey and hopefully will be finished by May 31st. He demonstrated on a rr,ap what had been done in photographing, listing and mapping. He discussed the various factors that would be typed on survey cards. If a structure ranks 11, 12, or 13, it will be photographed and these should number under 1,000. State cards will be done by August 31st. Mr. Crumlish said a conservative estimate of the survey's completion to date would be around 60%. Mr. Crumlish was asked how many 12's and 13's there were and said that there were about 500, about 100 - very fine buildings which rated 13. Mr. Crum- lish was requested to submit a bill itemizing his work to date and re- questing 60% of his total bill. Mr. Crumlish mentioned that his firm has agreed to consult .with the Commission regarding the matter of dis- tricts. Mrs. Price felt that perhaps at the July meeting, the decision could be made as to where the "study areas" should be. Mr. Crumlish was thanked for his lucid presentation. Mrs. Price moved that John Stamper be instructed to look at the system of survey card filing for City and County and to buy a lock file for City Survey cards.
