Nussbaum. 11 <br />City Attorney <br />Members of the HPC Commission <br />Room 1123 County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Jenny Pitts '.\Ianier <br />Chief Assistant City Attorney <br />June 7, 1995 <br />Recently I had occasion to amend the By-laws and Rules of <br />Organization for the South Bend Human Rights Commission. At that <br />time it occurred to me that the Historic Preservation Commission of <br />South Bend and St. Joseph County had never enacted any Rules (other <br />than some general guidelines which Fred Holycross and I created a <br />few years ago as a guide for discussing certificates of <br />appropriateness at public meetings) Thus, I drafted, and enclose <br />for your review.. comment ,and approval proposed Rules for the <br />Conduct of Meetings. <br />I drafted them in part with an' objective of improving the <br />efficiency at public meetings. From,time to time, members of the <br />Commission have expressed their concern with the public perception <br />of the Commission, and these Rules are also, in part, designed to <br />improve the image. If you have other matters that you would like <br />to address within the Rules (consistent with the requirements of <br />law), please feel free to let me know. <br />Note that the section pertaining to time limitations on public <br />debate is drawn from the Municipal Code of the 'City of South Bend <br />Section 2-9 which governs meetings of the South Bend Coimmon <br />Council. The Common Council limits presentations to five (5) <br />minutes rather than fifteen (15) minutes as I have allotted to <br />homeowners under these Rules. <br />Sincerely, <br />Aladean M. DeRose <br />Deputy City Attorney <br />AMD/pjh <br />c:\1\ccnduct.1tr <br />1 -400 CoL1111% -Cit\ Fillildine - South Bend.
