Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 15, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Kron answered that the plan is to rehabilitate the historic pillars and gate but that the <br />fence itself is not historic. <br />Whiteman asked if there were plans to rehabilitate the existing headstones and if there <br />are plans for a historic preservation plan for the site. <br />Kron stated that normal maintenance is completed on the headstones each year, so <br />there is no large-scale deterioration that needs to be addressed. She added that a <br />preservation plan is listed as an option in the Master Plan, but it would require funding. <br />Koertje stated that volunteers could be used for a preservation plan and to document the <br />existing headstones. <br />Whiteman suggested that such documentation be included in the Master Plan. <br />Muckle asked how people can research who is buried at the cemetery. <br />Kron stated that staff in the Parks Department will research the files for any request. <br />Muckle thanked Kron for the presentation. <br />McMenamin rejoined the meeting. <br />Subcommittee Reports continued <br />Incentives - No report. <br />Landmark Plaque Design -Whiteman stated that he had met with the designer from <br />UCD and will bring design ideas to the October meeting. <br />Muth stated that this could be funded with a CLG grant application. The deadline for <br />the 2009 grants is November 17. Members decided to see where we are in the <br />process at the October meeting and if we are ready to proceed to apply for the grant. <br />Whiteman asked if graphically this should be linked to the Mine Marker program. <br />Members agreed to start with this program and if it works well to consider linking the <br />two. <br />Mine Marker Program - Koertje stated that the group met in early September and <br />decided the first two markers should be located at the Ajax Mine (marker in <br />Community Park) and the Fireside Mine (marker located in the Tamarisk Open <br />Space.) He stated he liked the idea of linking the program to the plaque program. <br />Green Build Pamphlet -Members reviewed the content submitted by Lewis and <br />gave Muth the go ahead to format it. Members will refine the pamphlet as we move <br />forward. <br />Why Preserve Pamphlet- Koertje stated that he and McMenamin have started a <br />draft based on the information in the existing Preservation Handbook. He stated that <br />a draft would be presented at the meeting in October. <br />
