historic preservation commission <br />of south bend and st. joseph county <br />ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING <br />south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 <br />M E 11 0 R A N D U M <br />TO: HPC Members <br />FROM: Lynette Jentoft-Nilsen � <br />DATE: May 13, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: Correspondence Copies and Treasurer's Report <br />Enclosed are copies of recent correspondence between the Indiana <br />Department of Natural Resources and the Historic Preservation Commission. <br />The March 28, 1988 letter from Alan Goebes relates to the use of an <br />Indirect Cost Rate to provide a large portion of our matching funds for <br />these grants. The Historic Preservation Commission has been able to use <br />a percentage developed from the County's external auditors. The Federal <br />Government is now demanding a rate established by our "cognizant federal <br />agency" and we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to have Health <br />and Human Services establish this figure for the county. I have met with <br />the City Controller and the County Auditor regarding this problem and <br />hope to receive use of other undesignated matching funds to meet the <br />shortfall the loss of the Indirect Cost Rate will create. <br />The second correspondence relates to the DNR's allocation of grant funds <br />for 1988-89. I have not yet received a reply from DNR. In 1987-88, <br />we received a Survey Records Management grant in the amount of $15,000 <br />(30% matching required) and a Historic Preservation Activities Grant <br />in the amount of $16,000 (50% matching required). <br />
