PAGE 2 <br />The fee for the planning study, as described in the Joseph A. Wet- <br />zel Associates proposal and a Letter of Agreement, dated May 17, <br />1977, is $27,950.00. The planning study is a logical and necessary <br />first step in the exhibit program for Discovery Hall and I am re- <br />questing that the South Bend Common Council authorize and expendi- <br />ture of $27,950.00 of existing General Revenue Sharing Funds for <br />the purpose of retaining Joseph A. Wetzel Associates to prepare a <br />plan for the development of Discovery Hall Museum. <br />The resulting exhibits plan will make it possible for the city not <br />only to present interesting and educational exhibits for the benefit <br />and enjoyment of all the people of South Bend, but also will provide <br />the museum with the means to raise additional funds to pay for the <br />design and construction phases of the exhibits program. These re- <br />venue sharing funds would, in effect, serve as "seed money" for <br />future fund - raising activities. <br />I trust that this request for Revenue Sharing Funds for this depart- <br />ment will meet with your approval. <br />Sincerely, <br />Richard W. Welch <br />Director <br />
