ALADEAN DEROSE: I will be making a change in Section 1; because, I understand that it is the will of the commission for the end of the first paragraph in Section 1 to read, "The majority of every standing Committee shall be constituted of Commission members." JOANN SPORLEDER: Does that include then Section 2, Special Committees? ALADEAN DEROSE: No, special committees do not have outside members. Standing committees would have outside members. If the commission wishes, we could add an additional sentence to the end of Section 2 to read, "Membership on the South Bend and St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Commission is not a prerequisite for membership on special committee." It would be helpful to have a motion tonight from the commission to approve the amendments that you've proposed and then vote on the resolution as amended at the next month's meeting. The amendment to the resolution would be that Section 1 would contain a new sentence at the end to read, "The majority of every committee shall be constituted of commission members." The second amendment shall be at the end of Section 2 to read, "Membership on the South Bend and St. Joseph County Historic Preservation Commission is not prerequisite of membership on standing committees." JOHN OXIAN: I will make a motion to amend the changes to the by-laws based on what you just stated. TODD ZEIGER: Seconds the motion and it passes. Joann Sporleder abstains. JOANN SPORLEDER: If this resolution passes at our next monthly meeting are we obligated to create an advisory board? ALADEAN DEROSE: No, you have the power to do it if you want to. Aladean DeRose corrected her earlier answer to Joann Sporleder regarding being obligated to create an advisory board if the resolution passes at the next monthly meeting. ALADEAN DEROSE: We may need to amend the first sentence of Section 3 to read, "To assist the Commission and its staff in fulfilling the Commission's mission and effectiveness in the community, an Advisory Board may be established." This way you have the power to establish an advisory board whenever you wish. TODD ZEIGER: I will make a motion that we amend the first sentence of Section 3 as stated. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. D. STAFF REPORTS 1.

Director's Report (See cream copy of Directors Report attached to HPC meeting binder). CATHERINE HOSTETLER: There are three issues at the end of the Director's Report that I would like some guidance on from the commission. The first issue is: We have been asked to support Connie and Tom Tooley's position against the proposed ordinance and site development plan of Allan Klein, et al to zone from "MFI" Urban Corridor U
