Survev Books: Every 10-15 years the Department of Historic Preservation and Archaeology <br />conducts the survey of the historic sites and structures in South Bend and St. Joseph County. The <br />2005 Surveys were funded with 70% of grant monies while the printing of the Surveys were <br />funded with 50% of grant monies from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, the <br />Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology. <br />The balance of the funding came from the proceeds of the sale of the 1993 Survey Books and from <br />the budget of the HPC. It is anticipated that the proceeds of the sale of the two current survey <br />books will be reserved to secure grants for future surveys and their publication sometime between <br />2015-2020. <br />I would recommend working with the St. Joseph County Auditor's Office to establish a line item, <br />dedicated to future survev publications funded by the proceeds of the Countv and Citv Survev <br />sales. <br />Fees: The Office of the Historic Preservation Commission currently charges $5.00 for a Staff <br />Approved Certificate of Appropriateness and $10.00 for a Certificate of Appropriateness that <br />would go before the Commission. <br />I would recommend that the Commission consider raising the fees to $10.00 for Staff Approval, <br />and $20.00 for Commission Approval. <br />
