Participated in the annual Rotary Golf Outing fundraiser for the Down Town South Bend Rotary Charitable Foundation because I am the current Director of that Foundation. This Foundation has contributed close to a million dollars for local student scholarships and philanthropic awards to local not for profits. May 25 Presented at the Land Use Planning Committee of the St. Joseph County Council for the re -appropriation of the $1,000.00 grant money awarded to HPC by Keepers Preservation Education Fund to the various line items to reimburse expenses incurred by Elicia Dadlow and myself at the Preservation Conference in New Harmony between April 7-9. May 26 On site visits to Kroc Center site where Gary Cornwell (ccornwell@vahoo.com; 269 687 1379, cell 269 8615465) was digging in the 1880 former neighborhoods' privies and unearthing bottles and dinnerware and Sons of Israel where IUSB Anthropology class was digging at 4 different areas looking for artifacts under the guidance of James M VanderVeen ( imvander@iusb.edu 574 529 4618). Both are willing to make presentations concerning their work. On site 106 documentation for 1134 and 1141 Cleveland Avenue for grants. Met with Tim Wall from Ken Herceg & Associates about work that the County is planning on doing at the 1898 Court House Dome collar and flat roofs. Suggested that Tim contact Sla Tile and Ziolkowski for recommendations for re -pointing the limestone and terra cotta rather than use latex caulk proposed by the company John Embrickson contacted. John also wants to cover the low, flat roofs (not visible from the street) with an energy efficient white plastic material because there are some water issues. I suggested that they do a tear off to determine where the problems were originating (which could also be from the dome's collar not being pointed in 1996) rather than covering over a potential problem. May 27 On site visit with Wayne and Elicia to 1336 E Wayne S. and Horvath Masonry concerning the brickwork repair/replacement on the porch and sidewalk; pictures of original brick for RME for work. Staff toured E. Wayne, Edgewater and parts of Taylor's Field. Documented 521 River for Code inspection request. Contacted Marco Mariani about the disrepair of the awning at the former Ehninger Florists. His response was that the owner wasn't interested in putting any money in the building and was aware of the DTSB facade grant program. The same situation for the building next to WNIT Herman and Goetz are aware of the DTSB facade grant program but refuse to do anything. June 1 On site 803 Forest for RME for an in-kind chimney replacement of a non - original brick chimney. Also viewed landmark on 803 W. Washington St for any progress on exterior landscaping plus windows and screens. Windows and screens are still a mess, there are sheets still handing in windows for curtains; but the front yard has had stones put in where the cars were making a mud pit. More complaints about Share the Road signs in Riverside Drive. Forwarded the info up to Chris Dressel and he will bring it up at the public works meeting with Gary Gilot and Carl Littrell this week to see if double sided signs could be put in Shetterley Park rather than in people's yards.
