•? .? Mr. Lang passed out copies of the resolutions authorizing Landmarks Commission permission to apply to the Ohio Historical Preservation Office for CLG status which was voted on by Council August 2, 2005. Mr. Schock believed that the resolution should include wording dictating that all future utilities be placed underground.. Mr. Lang advised that all the items listed in the Halleen letter were currently being stored in his barn. He advised that in the near future the commission should advertise their availability either by the commission or through the historical society. He reviewed that once any items are turned over to the historical society the society is free to do as they please with the items. Mr. Lang reviewed that while going through the Beebe home with the historical society there was an item of contention, which he may have wrongfully took an item and that is the front door of the home. The door is an ornate solid oak door with oval beveled-glass. There were two offers to purchase the door the day it was removed from the home. However, he believed that the door should not be sold until an appraisal of the door could be made to accurately price the door. Mr. Schock believed that to by a door of that type new would run about $1,000.00. He felt that if the door in fact was historical and in gaod shape it would still be worth $1,000.00. Mr. Lang reviewed that the door was in good shape and all the hardware to the door was salvaged as well. The only thing missing was the key to the door knob which he has inquired as to its where about. He asked if any members had an idea of how to sell the items he was storing. Mr. Schock suggested E-Bay would be the quickest way to get the items sold. Mr. Lang believed that they could inventory the items he was storing. Mr. Barker suggested that the commission allow the Frostville Museum first chose of any items they may want to use at the museum. Mrs. Lord questioned if the commission could or had the right to sell the items. Mr. Barker suggested the commission speak with the Law Department regarding selling any items. Mr. Schock believed that the best thing to do was donate the items to the Historical Society. Mr. Barker agreed and requested the clerk send a letter to the Historical Society inviting them to attend the September Landmarks meeting to discuss turning the items over to them as well as possible assessment of the items. " P. Barker moved to have the clerk send a letter to some rnembers of the Historical Society i.e. Angie Cadwallader inviting her to attend the September 12, 2005 meeting to discuss the items of the Beebe home. With a prior review of the materials and prepare to cliscuss the disposition of the items for the September meeting. B. Lord seconcled the motion which was unanimously approved. Mr. Barker reviewed the e-mail from Ms. Wenger listing 5 items missing from the CLG Application packet. The items missing are: (1): Need updated information on application i.e. Mayor and Commission Members. (2). Cover sheet for historic properties, maps and photos. (3). Updated resumes of Landmarks Meinbers. (4). Index of past SITES students assigned to Landmarks. (5). Provide more information on the City's Historic preservation plan or activities conducted by Landmarks to promote Historic Preservation. Mr. Lang indicated that the resumes were being updated however Mr. Bohlmann's was not received and requested the clerk supply a copy of his resume for the file. Ms. Wenger was to create the cover sheet with a map identifying the historical sites. The commission does not have current pictures of the Nationally Registered Properties but that could be done very quickly. Mr. Lang indicated that he would contact the school to get a list of SITES students that have been assigned to work with the Landmarks Commission. The commission would need to construct some type of time-line depicting past, present, and future goals for land preservation and public awareness for the application. 2
