July 14, 1975 <br />Page 7 <br />Plaques <br />Mr. Oxian reported that he does not have any further in- <br />formation about plaques for designated homes. A discussion <br />ensued as to just what sort of plaques were in question. <br />Ms. Ruth Price stated that the plaques around town are <br />state markers. She suggested that perhaps one could check <br />with the State Historical Bureau. Mr. Rothermel remarked <br />that the town of Salem, Massachusetts had some very nice <br />plaques on their homes and one could check these out. -It <br />was suggested that Mr. Oxian look into the problem. Mr. <br />Smith, likewise, promised to look into the matter. <br />Annual Report <br />A prototype of the Annual Report was submitted to the Com- <br />mission members. Mr. Nimtz referred this annual report to <br />the President, Vice -President, Treasurer, and Secretary <br />for decision and promulgation. <br />Resolution # 5 <br />A copy of Resolution # 5 was submitted Jo the Commission <br />members. Ms. Davisson made a motion that the resolution <br />be accepted. Mr. Nimtz seconded this motion. Mr. Rothermel <br />then questioned why this particular resolution was submitted. <br />Mr. Smith informed him.that the Area Plan Commission had done <br />much work for the Commission and the Commission was very much <br />in its debt. The motion was put to a vote and it was passed <br />unanimously. <br />8. New Business <br />Historic Preservation Plan <br />The President appointed Juanne Sporleder to direct a formu- <br />lation of a plan for our Commission and to use, as an out- <br />line, the historic plan of Marshall, Michigan. She is to <br />report back to the Commission on this matter at the next <br />meeting. According to our zoning ordinance, the Commission <br />must have an historic plan. <br />State Request <br />Jack Smith reported that he had been in contact with Eric <br />Gilbertson and had sent a letter to Joseph Cloud requesting <br />$5,000 in matching funds to be used on the County Survey. <br />He had not yet received a definite answer, but he would talk - <br />with Governor Otis Bowen this week. A discussion ensued con- <br />cerning the exact use of the money and Ms. Price reminded the <br />Commission that the money had been set aside by the state for <br />use -in architectural surveys. <br />9.
