Page 2 Mr. Adamson reported that in February of 1988, the owners of the buildings on the National Register were sent a letter requesting their participation in the plaque project. He wrote them again August 11, 1989, requesting their approval to affix a descriptive plaque to their building. He then sent a letter October 26, 1989, to the building owners who still had not responded to his previous letters. In the letter dated October 26, 1989, he requested that they contact the Board by November 20, 1989 or he would presume that the Board had their approval to affix the plaque on their building. The Board showed some concern to this approach. Mr. Conklin suggested speaking with the City Administration or Staff and then proceed. At this time 10 owners have given their permission, 8 have not responded, and 4 have questions. Duke Adamson moved that if the Board had not heard to the contrary as of November 20, 1989, then the Board would precede to have the City install the plaques on the appropriate building. Seconded by Ron Fiorelli and carried by unanimous vote. Mr. Conklin suggested that a letter regarding collection of the $50.00 contribution be sent to the building owners who gave their permission to affix a plaque to their building. The consensus of the Board was to send the letter as a reminder after the plaques were in place. Mr. Moore reported the copy work for the plaques was sent to Smith - Cornell Incorporated, the plaque company. The plaque company has assured Mr. Moore that all plaques should be in the Board's possession around November 22, 1989. The Board commended Mr. Moore on a job well done. Mr. Moore reported the brochure for the walking tour will be double sided multi fold with 28 panels. The paper will be gray or buff colored, the type and pictures will be in black, and certain things would be highlighted in a different color, possibly red. The photo of the clock will be used on the front. There will be a map with a list of the buildings, 22 building descriptions, and 2 panels of the history of Sanford. The verbiage and photos on the brochure will be the same as what was used on the plaques with additional history added. The consensus of the Board was to list the present occupants of the building. Mr. Moore will visit several print shops next week to get price quotes. There was a question on whether the printing of the brochures was a budget item.
