July 16, 1979 Page 5 Environmental Impact Statement No report. Presidential Report Mr. Oxian declared that there are at least 6 houses on the Auto Tour Map that are not shown as landmarks. He will mark them on the map and send it up to the office. He spoke about a certificate that would be given to people whose homes, former schoolhouses, were declared landmarks by resolution. He showed a sample of the proclamation and the wording to be included and asked if any Commission members recommended any changes - none was forth- coming. Mr. Oxian then stated that he will call a committee meeting to take final action on this issue. Staff Report Mr. Stamper spoke about 2 Project Proposals, copies of which had been mailed to Commission members. In conjunction with Deloris Davisson, one project calls for 3 carousel slide trays, one of General Intro- duction of the History of South Bend and St. Joseph County, the second will be on 19th c. architecture, and the third on 20th c. architecture. The second Project Proposal was to take further photographs which were not taken on the County Survey. Mrs. Price moved that both these pro- jects be approved and the funding would come from the Line Item, Tech- nical Assistance. Mr. Nimtz seconded and the motion passed. Mr. Stamper then mentioned that he was working with Doug Rice on nominating the Chapin House to the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Stamper stated that he had checked out another log house in the County, this one at 66251 Cedar Road, and that he was going to talk with the owners about it. Mr. Oxian saw the log house on tour of county homes for possible future landmarks. Mr. Oxian spoke about some other county homes which could be declared landmarks but which had had some additions or deletions, and the owners wanted some architectural opinion before they could be declared landmarks. He said Mr. Stamper has been working on these matters. 779 7• Old Business Ms. Sporteder brought up the matter of the Darden Bridge.
