Randy Patterson concerning the waiting period etc. Tom and Carl also reported that
Councilman Ray Smith remarked "If we are going to have a demolition
ordinance it should have some teeth in it." Tom said he would begin
work on the revision of our demolition ordinance as soon as he can
and then we will present it to the council for approval .
HERITAGE TOUR AND DEMONSTRATIONS
Lori Wilhelm stated that the two most important things needed for
the Heritage tour are one, to find three homes for the tour and two,
to organize the sale of the quilt raffel tickets. Marya agreed to
be responsible for finding the three homes with the help of others
on the Commission.
Lori said she will contact Jean Smith to get her list of last years
places to sell raffel tickets. New photos will be taken of the
quilt. Both black and white and colored, with Donnabelle and
Marlene included in the picture.
Barb Byron stated that she is still looking for an Antique Car Club
to agree to show at the Tour.
FIESTA DAYS
Tom reported that we have permission to set up our booth in front of
the Chamber office on Green Street instead of the park as in the
past. It was agreed that this would be a better place.
Lori volunteered to call the State of Illinois Extension Office to
inquire about space to sell our raffel tickets at the County Fair.
A list of Landmark Commission Sub-Committees was read by Tom for the
members to think about and decide which areas they want to work on
specifically. A printed list will be included with next month's
notice of meeting.
Tom suggested that we should be members of the McHenry County
Historical Society. The fee of $20.00 for a group membership was
unanimously approved.
No one from our Commission was able to attend the State Preservation
Conference in Rockford last month. It was agreed that we should
make a real effort to attend next years conference.
Barb Gilpin informed the Commission that the City offices will move
to the new City Hall on the 26th of July. The City Hall will
re-open for business in their new building on the 30th of July.
There will be an open house for the public on Sunday the 21st of
July after the parade. Our next meeting will be held in the new
building.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
