Mr. Schock's recommendation <br />was to apply for a Certified Local Government grant to pay for this program. Ms. Wenger said <br />she learned that CLG grants are limited to national register and national register eligible <br />properties; local historic designation does not qualify. Therefore, the CLG grant could not fund <br />this program. Mr. Schock said loans are awarded up to $127,000 at 3.5% interest. Mr. <br />Schumann said there is a program through the Cuyahoga County Treasurer's Office for home <br />rehabilitation loans. Ms. Wenger said similar programs are also available through the <br />Department of Development Housing Services Division. Mr. Schumann said the advantage with <br />the Cleveland Restoration Society is that they offer assistance throughout the process. <br />2009 Annual Report <br />Achievements in 2009 were discussed including obtaining Certified Local Government status, <br />the start of the speaker series program, the award of a historic plaque to the Unitarian <br />Universalist Church in conjunction with their 175?' anniversary, Mr. Schumann's presentation at <br />the Homecoming Village Centennial Celebration Cake and Ice Cream Social, continuation of the <br />Cemetery Improvement Project, and approval of several Certificates of Appropriateness. Mr. <br />Schock suggested looking at the 2009 goals to determine how many were met. Ms. Granfors <br />will e-mail the excerpt from the December 2008 minutes. <br />2010 Meeting Calendar <br />The commission members approved the calendar.
