John Bertram from Idaho Preservation The objective will be coordination and support for the City Council session on Dec. 13`h There was also a discussion on the possibilities for the Jackson Property. Grant funding There are a lot of opportunities for grant funding, and we need to learn more about what options there are, and how we would go about applying for them. One of the more critical concerns would be maintenance on existing properties. We need a process in place for a selection of properties that will ensure equitable distribution. Al: Paula Davina to work with SHiPO to do initial research. Historic District The initial step will be establishing a working relationship with the stakeholders in the proposed area. The letter that will be going out will be a first step. There will be follow-up meetings with this group and the greater community. We also need to get additional input on the boundaries for the proposed district. The parameter of the area should be designated by signs on lamp posts or street signs. Individual houses should have a identifying plaque to show the date of construction. Depending on the cost of the signs, one option would be to do several signs a year — starting with the oldest houses. Guest Speaker The Daughters of the American Revolution are a potential source for our next speaker. They will also help us with work at the Dry Creek Cemetery.
