I. Slides of ~he Village Area The Commission reviewed the slides taken of the Village during its walk through the Village on July 22, 1982. Commissioner Heid also showed films taken of Saratoga from 1964 to the mid-1970's. During the intermission of the slide show, Chairman Voester indicated she had spoken to Dennis Wardell from the City of Campbell and had received information on applying for grants to conduct historic resource inventories and public information programs. Staff indicated that copies of ~is information would be mailed to the Commissioners. The Commission also discussed following up on the initial photo and statement of Commission activities that appeared in the Saratoga News. There was consensus among the Commissioners present that a better article was required in order to generate some enthusiasm in the community. One suggestion was that the Commission should write its own article for pub- lication in the newspaper. It was also suggested that this article be written after the Commission had accomplished its initial work and then describe what was done and why. Commissioner Heid suggested that the Commission could coordinate its program with Mrs. Oden and the Historical Society. II. Categorization of Saratoga's Historical Eras Commissioner Heid suggested that the Commission do more homework on Saratoga's historical eras as a prelude to making comments on those eras. Commissioner Landsness suggested that each Commissioner outline their comments on these eras. Commissioner Heid indicated he would con- tinue his work on categorizing the items on the City's Historical and Cultural Resources Inventory and that these items could be categorized by area. The Commission also discussed how far their initial review should go in terms of the actual area covered. Staff suggested that the Commission begin with the boundaries originally established for the Village walk and that these boundaries could be expanded if the Commission felt a need to do so. III. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 P.M. Michael Flores ( ~c Secretary
