SECONDED BY ARLENE. MOTION CARRIED.
Under old business the memo from Mike Robertson dated November 30, 1999 on the HPC 2000
budget was discussed. In reference to declining our request of $8,000.00 for contracted services,
the memo stated if the HPC had a specific proposal, the Council would be happy to consider
funding it. Ron responded on December 14, 1999 stating our specific proposal was to do what the
OHPC is charged to do in the ordinance. We need money for a professional analysis to see if the
Peavey/McDonald house should be designated for historic preservation.
There was no news on the old town hall.
Correspondence was received from MHS regarding grant applications and the MHS Grants manual
for 2000. The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota had acknowledged receipt of our dues.
Frieda and Elaine submitted an updated written book report. A copy is attached.
Arlene moved to adjourn, Frieda seconded. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 PM.
