Verbatim account of the discussion regarding the mission statement (Audio Position 2:31:14) Commissioner Andrews: So, Joanie drafted a mission statement. This was the existing one and this is the drafted one that Joanie sent over. Once again, I can't be emailing some of this stuff to everyone, so we want to discuss it here together. Um if there are things that you would like to see in the mission statement or that you feel are missing or if there are edits that need to be made um let's talk about that now. Joanie, do you want to give any other additional color to what you put forth. Commissioner Downs Krostenko: No Commissioner Andrews: One of the things that um upon reading it that I was worried about is that where it says the mission of the HPC of South Bend is to advocate for the preservation of all historic buildings, spaces, and resources within the geographic area under our mandate. I'm concerned about having the word�all there because not all of these buildings are under our mandate. Um so I think we just have to be careful for what we can. Commissioner Hertel: That would make sense, it would be to say to strike all. The preservation of historic building, spaces, and resources withing the geographic area. I feel that mandate is kind of a harsh word so maybe jurisdiction. Um Commissioner Downs Krostenko: Under our jurisdiction. Commissioner Hertel: Yeah Page 15
