366 FRED STUMP: Do understand the position this puts the School Corporation in? <br />367 We have a twenty million dollar project that has been advertised and is ready for bids and <br />368 now we cannot proceed. I hope that you understand the gravity of this situation, it is <br />369 twenty million dollars, and we have received all the local and state approvals. I feel that <br />370 this is really unfair and a very vindictive move. <br />371 <br />372 JOHN OXIAN: No it is not a vindictive move because your own school board <br />373 president wrote a letter to me asking why I didn't look at Harrison School when I looked <br />374 at Nuner School and why did I just pick Nuner School. That was in his own letter, so it is <br />375 not being vindictive when your going along with what he is stating. Besides saying that <br />376 we worked with developers in regards to Nuner School then he comes back with this <br />377 strong suggestion which in a manner he is trying to insult the Commission be saying that <br />378 we are playing favoritism by picking Nuner School over Harrison School. You know <br />379 that these school buildings were discussed back when Dr. Shriver was superintendent, so <br />380 this is not something new that we just started. We also worked with the school system <br />381 concerning Muessel School, Oliver, Central and all buildings that we made landmarks. <br />382- We went so far as to give the School Corporation a list of every -building, which we had <br />383 in mind for landmarking. I put off certain buildings because it was decided with the <br />384 School Corporations previous administration that if the status of any of the buildings was <br />385 going to change then the Historic Preservation Commission would be notified ahead of <br />386 time so we could sit down and talk about it. It is not like we are being vindictive; this <br />387 present school administration has completely left us in the dark and only responds to our <br />388 office at the very last minute and almost always negatively. It is not like we have left <br />389 anyone else in the dark, you have left us in the dark. Not to mention that we have <br />390 allowed you to speak before our commission at the time the subject was on the agenda, <br />391 which in turn I do not see, happening for us in front of your board. As a president, which <br />392 I will be again, and as acting director I do not appreciate the kind of insinuations that you <br />393 state concerning this commission, the staff or myself. It is not the proper presentation, <br />394 even on your part. <br />395 <br />396 IV.
