D. Oral and Written Communications
Commissioner Davis noted that the Novakovich Ranch will
be celebrating its 100 year anniversary next year and
will perhaps combine with Kerwin Ranch to do a
celebration. Commissioner Peck noted that the
historical foundation had received a letter requesting
information on bungalows in Saratoga; V. Young will
respond on behalf of the foundation and the commission
together.
II. New Business
A. Update on CLG grant project
Secretary Young reported that the CLG grant of $5,000
was still available, but only for the revised project
of preparing context statements. However, OHP conceded
that expertise exists in the City to prepare them, so
that the Commission wouldn't have to hire a consultant
to do the work. There was discussion on whether or not
to accept the grant, particularly on the trade-off
between getting involved in state bureaucracy vs. using
our own discretion in spending the money. Secretary
Young was directed to continue working with OHP to see
if a mutual agreement on the project and budget could
be reached.
III. Old Business
A. Heritage Bike Ride
Commissioners Davis and Koepernik reported that they
had made contact with heritage resource owners and were
still working on prize donations. V. Young is working
on the route map, and stated that the Recreation
Brochure would be coming out soon to all households in
Saratoga.
B. Preview Inventory Forms
V. Young distributed two forms (#A19, #A20) completed
by Commissioner Peck. The Commission then worked on
forms #A17 and #A18. Commissioner Peck provided
historical information on the Lamphear house and, in
regard to #A14 from the last meeting, stated that the
house was associated with the Great Lakes Nursery.
IV. ITEMS INITIATED BY THE COMMISSION
Chair Ansnes noted that she was requested to write a
small blurb on the Commission's activities during the
previous year for the Commission Recognition Dinner
coming up on September 12. Other Commissioners gave
their input; she will prepare it and give to V. Young
to proof before publication.
