Kathy Hardy, Friends of Marquette School <br />KATHY HARDY: I live at 15444 Miami Trail, Rolling Prairie, Indiana. I am a teacher <br />at Marquette School, and I have recently learned there might be a possibility of <br />demolition. We were concerned about this, as is Digger Phelps. We contacted Karen <br />Hammond -Nash about the school. I have a petition with lots of signatures from ' <br />community members, former students, former parents, who, would very much like to see <br />the building remain standing and remain in good use for the community. It is very <br />important to the neighborhood. The building is in excellent shape for a building that was <br />built in 1936. An addition was built in 1951. South Bend Rotary recently donated a few <br />hundred thousand dollars to renovate the building with paint, and carpet. The roof was <br />repaired in 1996. Recently, $90,000.00 dollars was spent to renovate the school's <br />bathrooms on the first floor. <br />JOHN OXIAN: Do you want us to start the procedures to put it up for first reading for <br />next month? <br />KATHY HARDY: Yes, we would. <br />JOHN OXIAN: If we put this up for first reading and second reading, then we would like <br />to have you come again to support this. We would also want you to come the Common <br />Council meeting with a copy of your petition and with as many people as you can to <br />support the Commission when we petition the Council to designate the building a <br />landmark. <br />JOANN SPORLEDER: I will make a motion that we place Marquette School on next <br />month's agenda for first reading. <br />LYNN PATRICK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. <br />2. Cheryl King, 1313 Liston, South Bend, fire damaged Local Landmark <br />LYNN PATRICK: I move that we put 1313 Liston into Standards & Maintenance, as an <br />emergency measure, with the authority to approve the repair and replacement of <br />necessary items. <br />CATHERINE HOSTETLER: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. <br />3 <br />
