EMERGENCY MEETING OF

 THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD

 

 

An emergency meeting of the Historic Preservation Board took place on Thursday, February 6, 2003 in the Conference Room of Village Hall.  The meeting was called to order at 2:07 PM with the following members present:

 

PRESENT:                William Tenney

                             Martha Anne Collins

                             Steven Zelkowitz

                             Maria Temkin – via telephone

ACTION ITEM

 

1)  Discussion regarding plans for a historic home tour.

 

Mr. Tenney advised the Members of the Board of his discussions with Debbie Tackett, Assistant Director of the Dade Heritage Trust.  Ms. Tackett reported that the Trust’s deadline for submitting information to be included in the printed brochure is today, February 6th.  Due to this deadline, an emergency meeting was convened to decided whether or not the Board would conduct a walking tour this year and if so, the date for such a tour.  Mr. Tenney stated that Ms. Tackett stated that either Saturday April 5th or Saturday April 12th would be available for the Shores’ tour.

 

Individual Board Members expressed their opinions on whether or not they should conduct a tour this year.  Mr. Tenney advised the group that former members of the Board had indicated that they would assist with the tour should the Board choose to conduct the tour.  Mr. Zelkowitz suggested that the later date (April 12th) be considered as it would give everyone an extra week for planning and preparation.  Additional considerations which were discussed were the number of houses necessary for the tour, manpower needs, and contingent plans should the tour need to be cancelled for any reason.

 

Following these discussions, Ms. Collins moved to forego conducting a house tour this year.  Ms. Temkin seconded the motion.  The vote, when called, was 2 to 2 with Mr. Tenney and Mr. Zelkowitz voting against the motion. 

 

Additional discussions took place with assurances made that a cancellation plan would be in place.  Mr. Zelkowitz then moved to have the walking tour take place on Saturday, April 12, 2003, with marketing information to include the caveat of requiring reservations through William Tenney and Mr. Tenney’s telephone number be listed.  Mr. Tenney seconded the motion and the vote was 3 to 1 with Ms. Collins dissenting. 

Board Members discussed and by consensus, decided that the tour would be conducted from 10:30 AM through 1:00 PM,  beginning at the Shores Performing Arts Theater and to conclude at the Brockway Memorial Library’s Archives Room.    Additional details of the tour will be discussed at the regular meeting scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2003.
