A. Heritage Bike Ride - subcommittee report
Subcommittee members Koepernik and Davis provided an
update on the heritage bike ride, to be held Sunday,
September 17. A map of the routes was shown as well as
the location of the properties selected for stops on
the route. Commissioner Landsness stated that she
still had the green banners from the house tour that
could be placed in front of the homes. Commissioner
Peck stated that even though the bike ride was the same
day as a Foundation event, there should not be a
conflict because the event starts at 2:00 p.m.
V. Young noted that there would be caps as "giveaway"
items instead of t-shirts, and that there would be a
drawing for prizes instead of the poker game; the
Recreation Department staff is preparing the
registration information for the brochure.
Commissioners Davis and Koepernik felt the t-shirt
would be a better item asked staff to reconsider the
cap idea. They will follow-up in obtaining donations
for prizes.
B. Inventory Forms
The Commission then worked on forms #All-A16. In
regard to #A14, the Gill Residence, there was
agreement that the house had been significantly
altered, but everyone would view it before making
the final decision on whether or not it should be on
the Inventory. Commission Peck will check to see if
there is an historical association of this site with
an old nursery nearby.
In regard to #A15, V. Young distributed copies of an
article on John Brown's family in California(given to
her by Commissioner Cameron) which claimed that this
property was the home of one of his daughters, Sarah.
This information will be added to the form, and
Commissioner Peck will try to verify the location of
all the Brown family residences in Saratoga. He
will also check the date of construction of property
#A16 and its historical associations.
V. Young reminded those who had not yet completed
their forms to submit them to her by July 31 so they
could be put in the next packet. She will take photos
of the preview properties that have not been assigned
yet.
