vents. Ms. Choitz inquired what the commission should ask of applicants regarding this. Ms. Hostetler noted that these changes are related to changes in the heating and cooling and ventilation technologies which change in houses and that the restoration of the window conditions usually followed the installation of central air-conditioning. Mr. Morris interjected that often the restoration of the windows is related to the finishing of attic space for year-round use. When this is so, the ventilation of the attic to relieve heat gain in the house still needs to be addressed by other roof -vent devices. Mr. Oxian reiterated his observation that he would like to avoid the removal of the windows in the first case by recommending an alternative venting system. IV. Regular Business A.

Response Co Gregg Gilmore on survey information regarding the former Frederickson Candy Store. He requested that we invoice him for a charitable contribution for $25. This was done and a check received. Mr. Duvall sought guidance of the Commission on how to handle this contribution. Ms. DeRose noted that the commission is not a 501C-3 corporation so the contribution may not be tax deductible. She further noted that what was done with the check would be of some concern as the State Board of Accounts does audit our ledgers and cash-flow on our grant funding. She will inquire regarding how this should be handled. Mr. Duvall observed that the commission is allowed by ordinance to accept such gifts. Mr. Oxian observed that years ago there had been an account_ for such contributions. Ms. DeRose suggested that as long as the funds are segregated this would be acceptable. It should not be commingled with county funds. Mr. Duvall observed that he would have no idea where such ledger documentation would be found and that he was anxious to dispose of the check in some manner.
