5) 2020 Trolley Tour Discussion

D. Kenney presented a photo inventory of several houses. Since there are fewer homes the Commission has the opportunity to write longer articles of 500 words and include extra pictures. The commission went through the picture book and selected the properties they were interested in researching. There is some research on some of the properties, with the Historical Society, at the Colonel Palmer House.

B. Wyman sent an email to the trolley tour company to request pricing and reserve the trolleys for next year. They informed him that pricing would not be available until 2020 as they haven’t set their prices yet.

6) Member Inquiries and Reports

J. Wyman asked about the special event that was being held at Lakeside. The event would be using the building and grounds, but nothing would require a Certificate of Appropriateness as they were not altering the exterior appearance of the Dole Mansion.

7) Adjournment

There being no further business, J. Wyman made a motion to adjourn the meeting. D. Kenney seconded the motion. All members presented voted aye. The meeting adjourned at 8:03 p.m.
