July 16, 1979 Page 3 • 779 6. Committee Reports City Survey Mrs. Price said she had requested a general caucus with the Consultant with the specific purpose of going over the proposed historic districts. A tentative date for this meeting was set up for Wednesday, August 1st, at 7:30 p.m. on the 14th Floor. Mrs. Price wanted all the Commission members to have maps from Brian with the scored in areas. The Commission members can then study them and make recommendations. Mr. Brian Crumlish then discussed the preliminary draft he had execu- ted which divided the city into neighborhoods, and explained the vari- ous symbols in this draft. A black dot on the map denotes a very su- perior structure, and a circle an above-average, interesting structure. The maps indicated historic district recommendations. The double cross- hatching is a district that is strongly recommended, and the single cross hatching indicates an area of historic context.and not necessari- ly a complete district. Mr. Crumlish then concluded his remarks and was thanked for his "heroic efforts." Budget and Finance John Stamper mentioned that he had sent all Commission members a copy of the submitted budget proposal and stated that they were staying • within the 7% increase over the amended budget which then amounts to $15,670. In addition, the county was requested to fund the position of secretary/research assistant for an additional $9,000. Mr. Newburn had a few questions which were then clarified. Mrs. Price then stated that the Commission probably will have to pay fringe benefits for John Stamper. Mr. Stamper said that all indica- tions are that they won't approve it. There was discussion on this matter. Historic Landmarks and Standards Mr. Oxian informed the Commission that the Rouse Report on the Odd Fellows building was publicised in the paper and said Ms. Sporleder had made a motion to have the building nominated for landmark status as soon as the report was completed. Mr. Oxian wanted to know what action the H.P.C. should take on Ms. Sporleder's motion. Mr. Eckerle suggested that the Commission wait a bit until the building is sold because three potential buyers were looking at the building and only one was interested in its historic aspect. Mr. Eckerle suggested that no action be taken for 45 days. Mr. Oxian asked every commission mem- ber his opinion on what action to taken on submitting to City Council for landmark status on Odd Fellows Building. Mr. Stamper said he would supply Mr. Newburn with copies of all the material on the Odd Fellows Building. The consensus was reached that the Commission would wait 30 days before taking any further action on the Odd Fellows Building. Historic Districts and Standards No report. Mr. Conley did not have any report on PAHA.
