? Memory Works might be able to provide them with some useful services so the information will be kept in the file for future reference, as the budget is lean this year. Memo from 7 Lan tg o MaXor Musial regarding, resume of P. Schumann Mr. Barker mentioned that Mr. Schumann contacted him last week at work to ask how things were going. Mr. Barker added he was uncertain how Mr. Schumann got his work number. Mr. Barker told him the resume was handed in to the Mayor and it is up to the 1Vlayor and Law Director to deterinine whether he qualifies. Mr. Barker then discussed a phone call he had with a resident, Mr. Bachouros, who is concerned about a neighbor's fence. Mr. Lang then updated the members on the fence, which is the minor change issue that recently came through to the Commission. Memo re a?ding 2003 budget Mr. Lang pointed out the requested budget for Landinarks was for $920. The approved budget is $500. He said out of that $500, they are responsible for paying dues in the amounts of: $30 for OAHSM, the National Trust is $99, the Cleveland Restoration Society appears to be $50, and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions is $50. He asked for any further discussion on the memberships. Mrs. VanAuken questioned why they would consider renewal of the memberships. Mr. Barker said that Landmarks has been involved with these groups for some time and gains valuable information. P. Barker made a motion to approve renewal of the memberships for the OAHSM, The National Trust, the Cleveland Restoration Society, and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions. The motion was seconded by M. Davis and unanimously approved. Memo re ag; rding new resident packets and formation of Landmarks Commission Mrs. VanAuken mentioned the error in the document that goes out to new residents. The word perpetrating should be changed to perpetuating. Mr. Lang pointed out there was a question raised last month about the date Landmarks was created. He indicated he will check on the date and report back. He asked Mrs. VanAuken if she still has the book on North Olmsted history, from Michael Ball. Mrs. VanAuken replied she does not believe she has it. It was passed around and Mrs. O'Rourke may be the person that has the book. Mr. Lang said he received a letter from Mrs. O'Rourke indicating she will have to resign from the Landmarks Commission. He said she will be moving from North Olmsted. The vacancy will have to be filled by the Planning Commission, as Mrs. O'Rourke is its representative. Mrs. VanAuken pointed out that Mrs. O'Rourke has given a great deal of service to the city with being on two commissions. Mr. Lang said she will sorely be missed. He then indicated he sent a memo to Mr. Miller to inquire of the Service Director as to the location of the foundation stones from the Dunfee house, which were removed upon demolition of the home. They were supposed to be secured so they could be used at a future time in the park. He said in driving by the site, he keeps wondering where they are, so he sent a memo inquiring about it so they don't loose track of the stones. Mr. Dubowski said he believes the stone is at the east end of the parking lot at Springvale. VI. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Mr. Lang reported there was a work session on March 22°d. Mr. Dubowski, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Lord and Mr. Lang were present. They completed the transfer of materials from one drawer to another and in the process they threw away duplicate copies.

The board members agreed to arrange a work session at another time. VI. OLD BUSINESS: Review and discuss CLG information Mr. Lang indicated since he was not at the last meeting, he is not certain what was done regarding the CLG. He knows material was distributed to members in February. He asked if anyone saw anything in the application that the city is short of. Mr. Barker said he thinks they were just to go over the CLG 3
