home. They discussed the presentation topics for the events program inviting neighboring <br />owners, city staff, and officials and having the Mayor present the plaque. Talk of possibly <br />running the short film written by Mr. Seltzer at homecoming was suggested. They feel a target of <br />20 to 30 participants would be a successful event. Mr. Neville said the committee for the Knight- <br />Biddulph home still needs to meet to discuss a ceremony. Ms. Wenger.noted members of the <br />Biddulph family have made contact with the office to discuss donating family photos and <br />perhaps attending a meeting to talk about the Biddulph history. <br />2015 Bicentennial Updates - <br />Ms. Wenger said facts from this day in history were inigrated into the timeline on Celebrate <br />North Olmsted. Mr. Dubelko asked if there are statistics for indicating how many people are <br />accessing the website and Ms. Wenger said she would ask the web designer if there is a way to <br />send her an update on the traffic/visitors to the site. The committee sends out emails and they can <br />see the traffic or clicks for what links the readers are clicking on in the emails. <br />Mr. Neville said he will set a committee meeting for the display cases at the mall and meet at <br />Frostville to view items. The committee for the historical tour met and has worked out a route <br />and a time limit of 15 minutes for each stop. He will follow up with committee members who <br />said they would write short skits as none have been submitted. <br />Mr. Dubelko said he would lilce to work with SITES students to collect oral histories of North <br />Olmsted seniors. Ms. Wenger said she will talk with the school about interviews which were <br />done in the past. She thinks there would be more success with audio interviews then video. Mr. <br />Schumann said Jeff Zullo may know where the interviews which were recorded are. Ms. <br />Wenger said she would contact the school to see if they could have copies or view what the <br />school has. Mr. Dubelko said he has been in contact with Jenny Berman who is the daughter of <br />North Olmsted's first police chief George Christinan. In speaking with her she has great <br />memories to share. She said the developer who first platted lots on Andrus and Whitethorn <br />couldn't sell the lots so he offered free lots to North Olmsted graduating students in 1946 or <br />1947. At that time it was common for students graduating to get married take the free lot and <br />invest in building a house. Mr. Dubelko said he came across in his research an article which <br />suggested North Olmsted had a slogan which was "Were Flowers Grow." Mr. Schumann said <br />the city has a historic photo with that slogan on the North Olmsted entrance signs. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further business, Mr. Morse's and Mr. Rerko's absences were excused and the meeting <br />adjourned at 8:30 p.m. <br />i <br />: . j? <br />j, " • <br />David Neville, C air <br />Date: 1? <br />???/ ?S
