Park History research and si n ro'ect: The goal is to get the signs up by the time of the Otsego Festival.
The grant application to a SHPO was denied. However, Dan is going to write another grant request for
the same purpose.
old Schoolhouse Town Hall: One more move of materials Commissioners wart to save from the
building is required; we agreed to do this on the evening of our next meeting. (Question: will no lights
be a problem We may have an expanded space in the remodeled Prairie Center to include storage of
such materials (Jamie., who also serves on the Planning Committee, has asked for that.) Chris called
Habitat for Humanity inquiring whether they aright wish to acquire the building for housing but agree to
keep the exterior preserved. They sounded possibly interested; Chris will follow up with thea. Right
now a city ordinance calls for 2.5 acres per lot in that area so that could be a problem because the lot
will be smaller than that. Doug serves on the Otsego Economic Development Authority which is the
branch of local government which would review such a plan.
Archives: This item will be added to the next meeting's agenda. Doug will ask Laura Schroeder to core
to the next meeting because she is interested in this topic and we are interested in her help.
