Called to order at 6:00 p.m.
Next year, HP wanted to plan Historic Preservation Month at their January 2024 meeting to give them
more time. This meeting was originally scheduled to be in April, but it was rescheduled to May 11 in
order to have a quorum.
Founder's Day activities would take place at the library. HP was interested in having a proclamation at
the next council meeting.
CLG applications would be due late September or early October of 2023.
Ward didn't want to get bogged down editing historic guidelines as a committee. She wanted to step
away and have someone with fresh eyes look at the whole document. LeMaster disliked the tone of the
document and suggested bringing in a technical writer.
Libbrecht said the 2017 Historic Plan Update was not a priority.
Benoit noted that none of the group was a professional editor and wanted to hire a professional and
make this happen. Group editing will take the rest of our lives.
CLG potential in June to obtain a grant for hiring a professional editor.
6:29 p.m. Libbrecht had to excuse himself.
Ward said the Historic Plan needs to happen.
