CHUCK LEONE: We use this in the legal department sometimes for people who want to enter city buildings. There are folks who go into these buildings who don't have any relationship to the city. When this happens we want to make sure that they know that these buildings are essentially dangerous places and they are going in at their own risk. We as a city are not responsible for that. John Oxian asked Chuck Leone who would be responsible for putting the indemnity agreement together. Chuck Leone said that it would be better if the legal department put one together. John Oxian then asked Chuck Leone if he would be willing to put together an indemnity agreement for them. Chuck Leone stated that he would be willing to do so. The indemnity agreement includes the following parties: Studebaker Michiana Chapter members, Bob Yapp, HPC members. V. NEW BUSINESS CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I have passed out a copy which lists the events and workshops for HPC members for the months of August, September, and October. We have also received nomination forms for the Servaas Memorial Award through Historic Landmarks Foundation and also applications for the Presidential Preserve America Award for 2006. I have both the applications and the guidelines here for anybody who wants to consider some nominees. The National Alliance of Preservation Commission, (NAPC), form, is being scheduled for July 27` through July 3&, 2006. JOHN OXIAN: I don't know where the survey is being done now; but, I would like to propose that the surveyors do all of LaSalle Street and Woodward Avenue in the very near future. I still feel that LaSalle Street should be brought in as an historic district at least to Chapin Street. I also think that Woodward Avenue should also be considered again as an historic district. I have had some dealings with several people on that street who were still interested in making that street an historic district and felt left out when we made Riverside Drive a historic district. There has been more of an interest for this in the eleven to twelve hundred blocks more so than farther in the south. I recently spoke with a person from there who asked me for my opinion about his garage and how he was going to replace it; so I went over there to give him my opinion. He's been living there for about twenty -eight years. A lot of the houses are still in fine condition there. I don't exactly agree with the prior ratings on the houses there either. It was like somebody went through and rated most of the houses a nine except for a few of them. V1. HEARING OF VISITORS DON SPORLEDER: The International Masonry Institute has its stone restoration workshop coming up again on Monday, August 29` in Annapolis, Maryland. This is a follow up to last year's very effective workshop on historic masonry. I would encourage those on the commission who can make it to attend. It is reasonably priced and will be a very important workshop on stone restoration. VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS, MISCELLANEOUS, ADJOURNMENT LYNN PATRICK: We stand adjourned. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 pm.
