The <br />specific area for which I am requesting a change concerns a member being a <br />property owner. <br />i <br />Due to the fact that the present election proceedures require a person to <br />be ,a property owner, I am'excluded from taking an active role in this local <br />historic district. Even though I have been nominated for the Liaison Committee, <br />I have been informed that because i am not an owner, I am ineligible to run. <br />Because I am not familier with the reasons for the restriction concerning <br />ownership, and in the event those reasons suggest a possible lank of interest on <br />the part of a 'renter', I submit a list of projects initiated and/or currently <br />in progress due to the interest and energy of this 'renter'; <br />i <br />1 Based upon cxâ–ºnversations with south .Bend'Park officials, MAOOG and <br />South Bend Hoard of Public Works, a meeting was convened with <br />Riverside Drive. residents which resulted in our two ,petitions <br />concerning the fishing and park maintenance. <br />This meeting was attended by Historic Commission members <br />Mrs. Choitz, and Mr. Oxiam; Rebecca Carey of MAMG; Liz from the <br />office of Historic Preservation, and members of the Riverside Drive <br />Steering Committee. <br />2. Meeting with supervisors of the street lightingdepartment of Indiana <br />and Michigan which resulted in the correction of all outages of <br />street lamps on 'Riverside Drive. <br />3. Currently establishing a meeting with I &`M and Public Works, to <br />address the 'swapping' of street lamps from non -historic <br />areas, to specific historic areas, so as to make all lighting <br />conform within said historic districts. <br />This meeting is slated to include John Oxian, Mrs. Choitz, <br />Karen Kiemnec, Brian Crumlish and residents of this and other <br />local historic districts. <br />The same meeting will also address the establishment of a 'stockpile' <br />of older fixtures and parts so that replacements can be assured <br />in future years., <br />
