Minutes of May 24 reviewed. Peter Garza mad
a motion to accept. Dianne Shumway
seconded the motion. Vote was
unanimous.
Treasurer’s Report Neva gave Peter information about encumbered funds. Town will send us form to fill in before
fiscal year ends. Neva reported that
Julie Heller is holding a gift of $500.00 from an anonymous donor. We discussed whether this was proper since
she is no longer on the committee. It
was agreed that Connie Black will compose a letter to ask her to hand the gift
over to the town so that it will be part of the records for the fiscal year.

The Commission then met with David Guertin about restoring the
bronzes. Peter Garza relayed
information he has collected on applying for grant to Saving Outdoor Sculpture. Also relayed recommendations to seek other
assessors. David Guertin said that the
town could apply for the grant using Michele but he would need a vote of the
Commission to proceed. Constance Black
made a motion that the town apply for a grant to Save Outdoor Sculpture to
acquire services to assess restoration of sculpture. Diane Shumway seconded motion.
Vote was unanimous.
David Guertin made the suggestion that the wharf renovation
money be used to clean and restore the Macmillan plaque so that it could be
rededicated to spur on the renovation of the wharf. Peter Garza made a motion to accept the offer of the DPW to
finance cleaning of the Macmillan Plaque.
Neva seconded the motion. Vote
was unanimous.
David Guertin also suggested a show of town art at the Town
Hall during the late summer. It was
agreed that it would be a fine idea but that we should discuss it at a later
meeting.
Neva Hansen read her new letter to the Heritage Museum. She will send it out immediately.
New Business Peter Garza volunteered to be our
representative on the Board of Trustees of The Heritage Museum. Application form was acquired and Peter
immediately made it out.
Peter Garza inquired about insurance policy at the Truro
Historical Society where Diane Shumway is the curator. Diane will inquire.
On reading over the insurance policy, it was learned that
there was a $250.00 deductible and that we could afford to put in a claim to
clean the Chaim Gross statue. Peter
will proceed with that process.
At a future meeting we will discuss exhibition policy.
Next Meeting will be at the Heritage Museum
June 7, at 10:00 am if all goes well.
