additional items; 1) Discussion on St. James AME Church becoming a
designated Historic Landmark, 2) Movie company is looking for a
victorian style site to shoot movie, 3) St. Cloud Presentation.
Mr. Conklin informed the Board that a movie company was trying to
find a victorian style site to shoot a movie. He instructed if
anyone was interested or knew of anyone they were to call Jan
Donahoe, City Clerk and she would explain the appropriate
procedures.
Mr. Conklin apprised the Board of the invitation received from St.
Cloud to give a presentation regarding Historic Preservation. Due
to short notice, Mr. Conklin attended on behalf of the Historic
Preservation Board. He spoke with the Planning Board, a group of
citizens who had been appointed, and some of the City Commissioner
who were interested in Historic Preservation. Mr. Conklin felt
such presentations render the City a good image for changing
towards the Historic aspects and encourage others to take
opportunities when they have them.
Duke Adamson moved to approve the minutes of April 12, 1990.
Seconded by Monte Olinger and carried by unanimous vote.
The minutes of April 19, 1990, were deferred until the next meeting

The paragraph "Although these guidelines are for new
construction and new construction is encouraged,

goal of the guidelines is new construction, etc., 2) the
goal of the Board is the preservation of existing
historic buildings and to give direction on how to judge
proposed new development, etc.
