• • Y well to the general fund and asked what the group would like to do. Mr. Copeland again said he would inake some inquiries and said he is not expecting the Landmarks Board to foot the bill for a new computer but would like to deterinine what the partnership can be. Mr. Copeland also pointed out he has the Chamber of Commerce that wants to become a new placement site and they will handle that the first semester of next year. Mr. Barker addressed the chairman saying the Landmarks budget has to be submitted soon. He suggested they do not ask for more than last year so they would have to re-allocate if they want to help towards a computer. Mr. Copeland indicated he will get numbers back to Chairman Lord but is looking for a 50/50 type of deal if he can figure it out. Mrs. Lord then said the only thing that would prevent them from doing that would be if they are "zeroed out" and have nothing. Mrs. Lord asked if he would like the board to discuss who could be the back up if Mr. Lang is not available. Mr. Copeland said he needs someone who could come in next week and orient Matt Duffy. Mrs. Lord, speaking for the board, said they authorized Joe Lang to be the contact person with the S.I.T.E. S. students and asked for consensus that the board wants that to continue. Affirmative responses were heard and Mr. Copeland said he will call Mr. Lang and have him come in. Mrs. Lord asked if there was anyone willing to be there at the same time and listen to Mr. Lang's presentation so if he is not available, there is someone else to handle it. Mr. Lind said he would try to be there. Mr. Copeland commented some of the list is redundant but they will go through it again. Mrs. Lord responded that if at any time he finds the list needs to be expanded, to let them know. Or if the board feels the need to add something to it with some of the projects they have going, the list can be expanded. She said the board is 100% supportive of the project. Mr. Copeland mentioned how the students have been very excited and enthusiastic about the program and about meeting with these people and hearing their stories. It has been important too for the older people involved with this project. They have been moved by these kids who know how to talk to people, and share with people. They really want to capture this for other people. Mr. Copeland then thanked the board for their time. II. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: The Landmarks Commission minutes of the December 3, 2001 meeting have been submitted for approval. Mrs. Davis pointed out that the name Adam Cotk in the first line under New Business should actually be Adain Pidcock. Mr. Lind mentioned it should be changed throughout the minutes. Mrs. Davis pointed out the first paragraph on page three had a typographical error. It was suggested that "where" be changed to "which." Mrs. Davis made the motion to approve the minutes as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lind. The minutes were unanimously approved as amended. III. NEW BUSINESS: • The Building Department needs a detennination as to whether or not the Crrace Fellowship Church located at 30450 Lorain Rd. is plaqued or is a designated Landmark in the City. Mrs. Lord said she received a call from Donna Rote, Clerk of Commissions, saying the realty firm had called the building department to find out about demolition of the church. The interested party, which is a church, was interested to find out what it would take to demolish the old church. Mrs. Lord gave Mrs. Rote information about the landmarking designation and as a follow up Mrs. Rote sent the ordinance to the realtor. In the meantime the board has received a ruling from the law director's office that the board can review the situation with them prior to change of ownership. Mrs. Lord reaffirmed it is a designated landmark and it would have to go through the ordinance requirements for demolition. Chairman Lord said it would be wise for the board to read that ordinance again in terms of demolition. Mrs. O'Rourke remarked she had been in contact with the realty company and was told it shouldn't be a problem to go through the church but it would have to deal with the sale. Mrs. O'Rourke said she would make an appointment as a perspective buyer if necessary. Mrs. Lord said she talked to Kate Ziccarelli and asked her if they could go through and see what is there. Mrs. Lord indicated perhaps there are some important things to the history of North Olmsted and they'd like to see what is there. Ms. Ziccarelli told Mrs. Lord, according to the city it is in deplorable condition. 2
