then you go on and ask for other information. Mr. Corell suggested asking the American Institute of <br />Architects. They might be able to run a quick search on residents of North Olmsted. Mr. Lang said he <br />thought about them. Mrs. Lord said they know there is a man on Clague (could not make out the name) <br />and he could probably tell the board who the other architects are. It might be the quickest way to get the <br />information. Mr. Lang said he asked about builders. He knows John Kiczek, the local builder who did <br />the reconstruction work on Old Town Hall. He lives in North Olmsted and engages in business here. He <br />said they don't want to leave rocks unturned so they will look in whatever direction needed to try to find <br />the individuals that will satisfy the needs of the Commission. Mrs. VanAuken asked, if they know of <br />someone that fits the category should they be contacted right away. Mr. Lang said his opinion is yes, and <br />suggested asking the person to prepare a letter of interest with a little bit of a biography as far as <br />background and submit it to the Mayor's office. Nlrs. VanAuken said this person she has in mind is an <br />architect and lives on her street. Mr. Lang said the key is that the person is a North Olmsted voter, a <br />North Olmsted resident. After that, you go through the filter process of architect, historian, and through <br />the list of other professional preparations. Mr. Corell asked if a landscape architect could be involved. <br />Mr. Lang said a landscape architect is one of about ten or twelve different elements that are in the <br />Secretary of the Interior's standards. Mr. Corell commented that he has a neighbor who put in a brick <br />driveway and who is a landscape architect, Mr. Baldi. Mrs. Davis said she doesn't know if it will help or <br />not, she surely does not have that much longevity on the Commission, but she does live in the historic <br />district and has been a resident of North Olmsted for a good long while, however, she took a class last fall <br />sponsored by the National Trust. It is signed by the president of the National Trust and indicates that she <br />successfully completed the historic real estate program and the certificate signifies she has been trained in <br />the designation, regulation, and classification of historic properties. Mr. Corell suggested running that <br />information by Mr. Dubelko. He said if that complies with the requirements, they have filled one of the <br />holes. Mrs. O'Rourke said she has access to a directory that makes it very easy to find names and <br />numbers by profession, by streets, any way you want. She said she could run a search on architects in <br />North Olmsted and get the names. If their business address is not in North Olmsted it may not come up <br />that way but she will run it. Mrs. Lord suggested checking on archeologists too. Mr. Lang said the other <br />one would be someone in the business of historic restoration, if there is a way to look that up. Mr. Barlcer <br />said he'd like to go back to Mrs. Lord's suggestion of putting an article in local newspapers. He would <br />suggest they come up with some form of letter to be submitted to the Clerk of Council who would then <br />submit it to reporters. He asked Mr. Dailey if he thought they would have a good chance of getting it in <br />the papers by going through the Clerk of Council. Mr. Dailey said if they want to put through an official <br />announcement, similar to a public notice, they might be more encouraged to take that route. He said they <br />could call the papers directly and the contacts there could put in a blurb. Mr. Barker said it was in the <br />WestLife the last couple of weeks that the Mayor was looking for people for certain boards and <br />commissions. Mrs. Lord said she thinks they have to agree on what the categories are. She said she <br />heard several things thrown out here that aren't listed in the document that W. Dubelko gave them. They <br />need to make that decision. Builder isn't in there. It is planner, architect, archeologist, and architectural <br />historian. She said her original question is how far off of that can they go. She doesn't seem to think they <br />can. Mr. Barker said along with that though, he recalls NIr. Dubelko saying that as long as they try to get <br />soineone in those 4 categories and prove that out of so inany thousand people that they can't, then they <br />can stretch it out. Mrs. O'Rourke mentioned she received a letter with her Planning Commission material <br />and she believes it was from Council. She asked Mr. Dailey if he received a memo that Barb Seman <br />wrote out that indicated we were seeking people to serve on the Landmarks Commission, and in the <br />copies it went to Council, Planning Commission, and the media. She said she doesn't know what media <br />that means. Mr. Lang said it would be the local press. Mr. Dailey said typically when she does that, <br />short of going to television and radio news, she goes to the local papers. Mrs. O'Rourke said her point is <br />that something has gone out. Mr. Lang said there is a little phrase that you can add on the end of all these <br />criteria, "and allied fields," that would broaden the horizon, because an historical restorer would be as <br />valid as an architect but particularly maybe for our needs, even more valid. All architects are not equal in <br />5
