3. Assessment of program of stabilization and restoration.
At the next meeting of the Commission we will discuss what needs to be done physically to the '
building to make it a viable proposition. When the weather imprQVes we should be able to get
inside the building, possibly with the building inspector, and evaluate the possibilities. It was
agreed to make a decision on the project on the March 25,1995, after the building has been
inspected to see what needs to be done to maintain and stabilize it. However, the consensus of
the Commission at this time is to ensure that the building particularly the e�cterior is properly
maintained.
Elaine Carpenter will meanwhile contact Donna at Parks and Recreation and let her know of our
interest in the facility, since it is their responsibility at fihe moment.
Tom Ensley offered a formal motion to have sta�lay out the steps and the use policy and bring it
back to the next meeting. Roy Payne seconded the Motion wluch passed unanimously.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Elaine Leppert explained that she has a conflict with Library
business for the next five months. After some discussion, Elaine Leppert offered a Motion for the
meeting to be moved to the second Thursday of each month. Tom Ensley seconded the motion
which passed unanimously. The ne�t meeting will be on January 12, 1995.
With no fiuther business the meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m
