II. New Business
A. Discuss "Historic bicycle ride" for this fall.
V. Young introduced Joan Pisani and Tom Walters from the City
Recreation Department, who were in attendance to discuss
setting up a "Historic bike ride" for this fall. The event
will be co-sponsored by the HPC and the Recreation Department
with Joan taking care of the publicity and other details.Joan
gave information on a similar event recently held in Fremont,
where there were three bike loops to chose from of 16, 23, or
32 miles each. The HPC discussed traffic concerns , the
smaller size of Saratoga and hilly terrain. Joan suggested
that it could be a 2-3 hour event, starting at 10-11 in the
morning, with registration /start at the Community Center and
ending in a family picnic at Wildwood Park. A poker game
could be incorporated into the event to make it more fun (get
a card at each house you stop at, then give prizes for the
winning hands.) There was discussion on the date, and Sunday,
date, and Sunday, September 17 was selected. Commissioner
Peck noted that there was a Historical Foundation event
that afternoon at the Museum, but if the bike ride were
done early enough there shouldn't be a problem with the
schedule.
Commissioners Koepernik and Davis volunteered to serve on
a sub-committee to help with planning the event , and to
select the heritage resources and the route.
III. Old Business
A. HPC Meeting Schedule
The Commission discussed and agreed on the proposed summer
meeting schedule, as follows:
Wednesday July 12, 1989
Wednesday August 9, 1989
Meetings will be held at 2-4 p.m. at the Warner Hutton
House, and will be primarily devoted to completing the
preview list inventory forms.
B. Publication of Inventory
There was discussion on alternative sources of funding for
the Inventory Publication, since the CLG grant was only
for $5,000 it was not sure if the HPC was going to
accept the money because of the State~s requirement of a
revised project scope. The commission directed the
Secretary to continue working with the SHPO to see if
there were other approaches to the project. If that was
not successful, then HPC would consider asking the City
Council for additional funding. In the meantime, the
Commission will continue working on the preview list forms
through the summer.
The Commission completed their review of forms #A9 and A10
there was consensus that A10 had been changed too
significantly to qualify and should be deleted.
IV. ITEMS INITIATED BY THE COMMISSION
None.
V. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 4:10 p.m.
