He is also desirous of having utility representatives talk about energy efficiency incentives and any rebate programs currently available.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION Minutes - February 12, 1995 - P.1 � � Liz had escorted Mr. Walters to the Library and also around the Dearborn/Everett neighborhood. Mr. Walters was very interested in conducting a field trip to a residence for purposes of explaining some concepts, particularly in regard to foundation maintenance and drainage. The draft letter seeking sponsorship of the event was discussed and amended. The letter will be sent out immediately to prospective participants. It was agreed that there would not be a great amount of area available to showcase products, but if participants have advertising literature there should be an area where this could be displayed. The advertising flyer was also discussed. Elaine will get with Liz and provide other pictures of types of homes for use in the flyer. This too should be sent out as soon as possible. The Commission would like to see advertising on radio, local and National Public Radio, Channel6 TV station, notices to neighborhood associations, community bulletin boards, reader boards etc. The Commission reviewed the Resolution on sidewalks and agreed to forward it to the City Council for consideration. This is scheduled for February 21. Dennis has taken slides, and Elaine Leppert has some historic slides which show the inset type of sidewalk. Liz will let the Commission know before the Council meeting so that they can participate. Dennis will advise the Council of the proposal to paint the Depot by the National Guard. He has already spoken with the Parks and Recreation Department. The next meeting of the Commission is scheduled for March 9, 1995. However, due to a scheduling conflict with a community event for the majority of the Commission it was agreed to move the date of the next meeting to March 23, 1995.
