REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES Ms. Egan -Reeves moved, seconded by Mr. Limpert, to approve the Landmarks Commission minutes of May 10, 2021, motion passed 6-0. NEW BUSINESS Springvale Ballroom Landmark Designation Ms. Lieber reviewed the local landmark process in Chapter 165 of the Codified Ordinances. The proposed landmark needs to meet at least two of the four requirements listed in Section 165.05(a). The nomination report includes photos and briefly explains that the Ballroom would qualify for local landmark status based on the first and fourth criteria. Resources for the report were Jim Dubelko's article from the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History and the Ohio Historical Marker. Ms. Egan -Reeves agreed that the Ballroom would qualify for landmark status best with those two categories, Mr. Dubowski agreed. Ms. Egan -Reeves said the second criteria could also apply because of the large impact of the Ballroom on the community in the 1920s. Mr. Neville added that the third criteria could be met as well, but the first and fourth criteria work the best. Ms. Lieber suggested the final report include more rationale for the nomination meeting all of the criteria if needed. Ms. Egan -Reeves suggested reaching out to the community to see if they have additional photos to use for the report. Ms. Lieber thought the report should include the recent history of the site, including its construction, additions and the people associated with it, Mr. Neville agreed. Ms. Egan -Reeves, Mr. Neville and Ms. Schuler volunteered to be on the research committee. Ms. Egan -Reeves moved, seconded by Ms. Schuler, to accept the nomination of Springvale Ballroom for landmark designation study and evaluation, motion passed 6-0.
