a gentleman from Olmsted Falls who expressed some interest. He took his name and number and filed it away. Mr. Lang extended the board's appreciation to the Mayor and Mr. Halleen. He also thanked Mr. Dial for his attendance. The board went back to following the agenda and discussed communications. A short time later, Mayor Musial came back into the meeting. The Mayor said the board should revisit, as he has told Mr. Halleen, the aspect of the 501(c)(3) foundation. The board could give the building to the foundation and then take back a 99-year lease. The foundation would have the property and could move it and it would have the land on a 99-year lease, which could be renewable. He said Mr. Halleen will look into that tomorrow with his accountant. Mr. Barker asked if the Mayor was talking about the North Olmsted Foundation or having Mr. Halleen set up his own foundation. The Mayor said either that or going to an existing foundation. He indicated he won't get involved in all the details but Mr. Halleen is going to keep him posted. Plapue request from the Evelyn Franks, 26016 Kennedv Rifte Road Mr. Lang said that a few days ago he went down to the archives as requested to try to identify from the tax records the real property and the personal property assessments that are recorded. He said he will give that to Mrs. Lord to review to see whether she can determine the construction date of the house. It appears to him it may have been 1868. He indicated he will give all of the material he gathered to Mrs. Lord for her review. Review of the draft Rules of Procedure handed out bv Mr. O'Mallev at the continuance meetin? Mr. Lang pointed out that rules of procedure are one of the items that are included in the application for a CLG, which they do not now currently meet. They need some rules in place for the application of CLG to be considered. Mr. O'Malley explained that the rules he presented were the rules that Mr. Lang had actually initiated some time ago. He said they are consistent with the rules of procedure you would find for many historical societies, however, it was recreating a lot of what is already in the charter and in the code. It was Mr. Dubelko's recommendation when this first came up not to have anything in the rules that would be a restatement of what is already in the code. He said he has reduced the rules from the original submission. He would like the board to consider any additions that it might conceive of. There are a number of areas where they could include a rule, for example the issue of minor changes. He reviewed other items that might be included in the rules. Mr. O'Malley said he would be happy to draft a set of rules based on any recommendations the board has. He invited board members to send him an e-mail with suggestions or ideas. He has already searched the internet for other rules and procedures that are out there. He said they need to keep the rules simple. Mr. Lang said since Mr. O'Malley has seen the application for CLG, the bare bones minimums are what is required on that application. Mrs. Lord commented it is important to keep it simple but she wants it to include some of the things they have learned over the course of the last few years. There was a discussion about the value of having a member of Council and the Planning Commission on the board. Mrs. Lord suggested that Mrs. Kilbane send a letter to the Planning Cominission to request a member be appointed to the Landmarks Commission. VII.
