TODD ZEIGER: There should be some conversation with the staff and the Standards and Maintenance Committee since it was a landmark corner before you move forward with reconstruction. We need to have some say in what it's going to look like so it looks good at the end. We can work_ together with you on that. PAUL SCHMITT: I will go along with that one hundred percent. MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes. John Oxian opposes. JOHN OXIAN: I will oppose the motion because it was not a recommendation of my committee; because, you by-passed my committee. I also don't think it should be mentioned in there that HLFI would be involved with the salvage of key architectural features, thus Todd should not be making this motion; somebody else should be because of his conflict of interest. TODD ZEIGER: That wasn't my motion, John, I just simply.said salvage.

Navarre Cabin — Report by Joan Sporleder (See gray copy of Joann's report attached to HPC monthly meeting packet). DAVID BAINBRIDGE: I am from the Northern Indiana Historical Society. As you are well aware we are interested in following through with the major restoration of the Navarre cabin. I understand from the last meeting there were some additional questions and that is why I am here. Are there any questions? JOANN SPORLEDER: Did you get a copy of my report? DAVID BAINBRIDGE: No, I did not. JOANN SPORLEDER: At the end of my report it says, "I believe this reflects my conversation with David Bainbridge. So in effect my recommendation to the commission is to approve the C of A as submitted with the addition of the alternate on the Gable ends." 5.
