STAFF REPORTS <br />C of A Approvals; Correspondence: Public Relations WPA/Parks, <br />Board of Public Works and Landmarking Status Report; Cornelius <br />O'Brien Main Street Conference in Madison <br />JULIE SCHUTTE: Staff has approved a few in-kind siding replacements; most of them were vinyl <br />and vinyl window replacements for vinyl windows. There were several in-kind roof replacements <br />for flat and shingle roofs. <br />Staff also approved a temporary roof treatment for 511 South Michigan Street, because it had <br />gaping holes coming in. The roof that they are putting on is like a shed type roof over this <br />commercial building and it is not visible from the street, because it slopes down from the parapet <br />wall back towards the alley way. <br />Staff also approved the trial use of an order abatement scrubber system in Leeper Park. It is a <br />system which fits inside a sewer pipe or manhole to reduce the odor that neighbors have smelled in <br />the park area. This will be a sixty day trial period and they will be coming before the commission to <br />reapply if it does work. <br />Staff also approved the cleaning and shrub trimming in a Bronson street alley in Edgewater. <br />CATHERINE HOSTETLER: In the month of November we put on a presentation to the Parks <br />Department with Gloria June Griff. She tried to increase the parks department employees' <br />appreciation of the WPA and the PWA projects. It was very successful. They had a lot of <br />questions and were very attentive listeners. I think we are going to start working a lot more closely <br />with some of the people in the Parks Department as a result of this. <br />Also in conjunction with this, we wanted her to put in a submission for new field resources of <br />South Bend and St Joseph county proposal for study. We also wanted to know what her estimate <br />would be so that we could ask for the commission to study this and see if they would like to commit <br />those funds so that they could be encumbered before year end. (See report enclosed in meeting <br />packet). <br />MARTHA CHOITZ: I move that we notify the necessary people that Glory - June Greiff is very <br />much our choice in handling and having the WPA sites investigated and researched again, and for <br />her completion of an application for the National Register Listing. <br />GERALD UJDAK: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously <br />CATHERINE HOSTETLER: The other item that you have in your meeting packet is about the <br />lamppost lighting project. The project has been very successful for them and they have been able to <br />immediately approve fifteen applications in historic districts for these lampposts by using the form <br />we had proposed to them. They were very happy we were able to cooperate with them and work <br />with them on getting this done. <br />
