Unfortunately, <br />we at American Electric Power will not be requesting historical landmark <br />designation for these lights. Maintenance of these facilities and replacement parts are <br />not available and results in the need for customer construction for all repairs at <br />significant costs. <br />Lastly, we considered the transfer of these facilities to the City of South Bend. As a <br />result, Carl Littrell and I have spoken in this regard. Carl indicated that he and the <br />city staff would give consideration to this transfer. I am confident that he will follow - <br />up with you once they arrive at their decision. <br />Please contact me at (219) 236 -1642 if I can answer additional questions that you <br />may have, or if I can be of assistance to you in the future. <br />Sincerely, <br />J �, III <br />Manager Distribution System <br />JAC/bc <br />AF,P.-.A??7P rn'v FnPrrjv Partnnr` <br />
