COMMUNICATIONS Landmarlc RecoLinition Planning for Seltzer and Knight-Biddulph landmarlc plaque ceremonies Ms. Wenger said the plaques were in the process of being fabricated and asked how the commission wanted to hold the ceremonies. The commission discussed the merits of tying the ceremonies in to the historic tour versus a stand alone event earlier in the year. Ms. Wenger said the coinmission could have a subcommittee to plan the event and the staff would be available to support them. Mr. Morse thought it would be good to have the ceremonies part of the tour of homes. Mr. Dubelko said when a home is plaqued the owner doesn't have to open their home. There can be a ceremony outside the home sometime in the spring between bicentennial events which would provide a press boost for the tour. 2015 Bicentennial Ms. Wenger said the bicentennial committee will not be having joint meetings in 2015 with the Arts Commission. She aslced for more on This Day in History items for Facebook and suggested researching the past 20 years for significant events in North Olmsted.

He has spolcen with school officials who said they have two spirit buses which could be used and the City's fleet manager said he could provide a driver for the green and orange city bus. The police department will provide auxiliary officers for Frostville. The opening location will be Frostville Museum. He was thinking as there could be individuals who chose to only visit specific locations the buses could run as needed, but a tour guide for each bus is needed. He was thinking the high school drama club or pover Players could be character actors on the buses giving the tour. Frostville will be manned by Frostville and he would like to see Landmarks Commission run the historical district as they see fit. He hopes to have the Mayor and City Council staff Old Town Hall. The schools are a vital partner as their alumni have photos, history and could generate attendance by 2
