There was a discussion led by Gino Verzone regarding his two memos which he asked to have attached to the minutes.

Motion: Ardis Markarian made a
motion to approve the request for $2,500 to be given as a grant to the
Historical District Study Commission.
Gino Verzone seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Motion: Austin Knight made a
motion to have the chair, Roger Keene, follow up on the $2,500 which is missing
from the original $10,000 in the Historical Commission’s fund and to get
details on how the monies were expended.
The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. (There
is currently only $7,500 in the fund.)
