W B. 3418 Mishawaka Avenue • Mr Oxian reported that a letter had been sent to the Common Council requesting that consideration of this nomination be resumed. B) Leeper Park Proposal Mr. Oxian reported that the legal description included in the ordinance establishing the North Pump Station as a Local Landmark has bee found to be in error.- Mr. Talley described the nature of the discrepancy. Mr. Duvall stated that this boundary which arose from title transfer documents is not discernible on the ground as the National Register criteria for site boundaries would indicate. Thus the Landmark boundaries and the National Register boundaries will be at variance. Mr. Talley indicated that the proposed boundaries constituted the original site. Mr. Duvall allowed that this was a rational argument and that it was acceptable but pointed out that there might be questions raised at council as to why so much land was being included. Mrs. Choitz pointed out that this would include the land on which the Navarre Cabin sits. Mr. Talley moved that the establishing ordinance be amended to correct this error per the documents provided. Mrs. Hostetler seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. c. 30750 Inwood Road Mr. Duvall reported that the commission has received an application and consent form the owners of 30750 Inwood Road to establish this site as 1 Local Landmark. This building which is presently a residence, is the former Olive Township School #12 which was constructed circa 1925 according to the information provided by the applicant. It did not appear in the County summary report as it would have barely passed the 50 year point at,.the time of the County survey work performed in 1975. Likewise it was not established as a Local Landmark along with the other early rural township schools. Mr. Duvall stated that he had not yet surveyed the building but that all the information provided seemed to be correct. Mr. Oxian verified that he had found reference to this school and observed that with consent, the first and second reading with notifications could be dispensed with and requesteda motion to this effect. Mrs. Choitz moved that we accept 30750 Inwood Road for LOcal Landmark Status. Mr. Pine seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. 6. Standards & Maintenance A. 221 West North Sore Drive Mr. Duvall reported that the additional information requested following the previous meeting had not yet bee received and thus no committee meeting had been held for its review. Mr. Talley noted that he had observed the construction work proceeding at the site. 6. Personnel Mr. Duvall reported that he had commenced interviewing applicants for the part-time Administrative Assistant's position who have responded to the advertisement in the Southhold Newsletter. He noted that he had some concern regarding the status of Mr. Oxian's discussions with city and county officials regarding the possible assumption of their employer role and whether this might affect the part-time/full-time character of the job description. His concern was that the possibility of full-time employment might affect the • candidate selection. Mr. Oxian stated that he felt we should proceed on a part-time assumption. He stated that Jon Hunt had agreed that it would be advantageous to remove this position from CDBG funding and establish the position with the city. Mr. Duvall also noted that there has been an IUSB intern in the office for the past two Mondays and that she has bee working on the research for the St
