Directors Report April 2006 In March all of the Staff members completed their questionnaires for the St. Joseph County Job Classification and Compensation Study. The purpose is to codify the jobs and pay scales according to types and responsibilities. In April I met with the Mayor and presented him with a report concerning the increasing amount of work the HPC and Commission Office handles for the City of South Bend. This will be the first of regular quarterly meeting with the Mayor to apprise him of our role in the City of South Bend. We also attended meetings with the Engineering Department and the neighbors in the Riverside Drive LHD concerning Shetterley Park and CSO #6 on April 12. The meetings were very productive and resulted in a change. in the scope of the project which will be more in keeping with the needs of the neighbors and the preservation of Shetterley Park. There was also a meeting on April 5 concerning the work on Lafayette /Leeper Park with the new sewer lines at NNN and this projects impact on the neighborhood and the Park. The Grant Reports on the four Grants that the Commission is administering were submitted on a timely basis prior to the April 10 deadlines. The Grant Acceptance letter and paper work on the new Grant for the Publication of the City Survey was completed and mailed this week and prior to the May deadline. The Southhold Awards Breakfast continued in its planning. The arrangements were made for the flowers and the Awards ordered from PAC. Our guest speaker was announced in the SBTribune and so were the requests for nominees for the Awards. We currently have about 70 people coming- including Commissioners who have not responded as of yet. Last year we had 125. I attended the Career Fair at IUSB on March 24. There was considerable interest in the position of Assistant Director by qualified candidates. We have sent out job applications and have received 5 in return. We have also posted the job, along with HFLI on the Ball State website for the School of Historic Preservation and the Art Institute of Chicago. It is also being posted on the National Trust Forum.
