Looked at State Code change proposals--review for next board
meeting and prepare a response.
Stan gave us a review of the events leading to the proposal of
the Crandlemire Estate for a possible future library/city hall/2
school site.
Family intended to move to Massachusetts and originally
proposed that the property be subdivided . City Council said no .
Eventually the plan grew to donating part of the property,
selling part to the school district for a new middle school and
high school , and raising donations from private sources. The
master plan also includes parklands and playing fields.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 and the board drove out to tour
the Crandlemire Estate.
