JOSEPH COUNTY Room 1123 County City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Phone (219) 284-9798 July 17, 1990 Historic Preservation Commission Personnel Committee Commission Members: I have tentatively scheduled meetings with the staff to begin at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24th. If this is not acceptable, please contact me as soon as possible. Suzanne Booker has scheduled her vacation for July 21 through August 3. I knew she was going, but could not recall the dates at our meeting last evening. She will be happy to interview with you for the Surveyor's position upon her return, or immediately prior to'the August meeting, whichever you prefer. It is my understanding that Mr._Oxian will contact Ms. Wikman this week to� ask if she would want to have a review of her contract. She stated to me today that she would like to speak to me sometime next week "before[she]leaves", which leads me to'believe that she considers her letter to the Commission to be her letter of resignation, but Mr. Oxian will check on that as well, as I understand. I look forward to.seeing you all on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Thank you. *Lori A: Dixon
