I. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Historical Commission of Tequesta Village held a regularly
scheduled meeting on Tuesday, September 15, 1992 in the
Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida. The
meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Pat Kloiber.
Commission members in attendance were: Susan Clark, Bill
Hart, Pat Kloiber, Ethel Gravett, Alice Klimas, James Worth,
Elizabeth Schauer, Dr. H. Alva Nessmith, and Mary Seay.
II. REVIEW OF THE PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE HISTORICAL
COMMISSION OF TEQUESTA VILLAGE.
Village Manager Bradford gave the Commission a quick overview
of the Florida Sunshine Law and gave copies of excerpts from
the manual to members of the Commission, explaining that:
The Historical Commission is an ad hoc committee, put together
by the Village Council, therefore causing it to become subject
to the Florida Sunshine Law. The Sunshine Law states that all
of the meetings must be held publicly, as well as posted at
the Village Hall and notice to the local newspapers
approximately one week before the meetings. Any business of
the Commission cannot be discussed with other members of the
Commission unless done so at a public meeting of the
Commission.
Pat Kloiber reminded the Commission that their mission was to
locate, preserve, and restore any landmarks, historical
records or buildings in the Village worthy of historical
designation. The Commission is also charged with the
establishment of their Charter and rules to govern itself,
and, as permanent historical committee, will develop a
permanent record of the heritage of the Village. The length
of membership will be one year.

---------------------------
It was determined that the Historical Commission would meet
every two weeks initially to become established, and that the
next meeting would be held on October 8, 1992 at 7:30 p.m.
Susan Clark stated that she has sample copies of Charters and
that she would bring those to the next meeting as guidelines
for setting up a Charter for the Commission. As a
professional historian, Ms. Clark stated that historical items
collected would need to be properly cared for and offered the
Loxahatchee Historical Museum as a caretaking facility. It
was felt that preservation information ought to be shared with
those residents who might have artifacts that are felt to be
worthy of preservation. It was determined that information,
such as this, from the Historical Commission would be
submitted through the Village Newsletter.
A discussion took place regarding the creation of an
informative Tequesta brochure, similar to the booklet entitled
"Tequesta After 25 Years" which was done in 1982. There was
also discussion regarding talking with local residents who may
be able to give an oral historical accounting regarding
Riverside Drive, the Jackson property, etc.
Bob Riskaddon, Legislative Chairman of the Loxahatchee
Historical Society, as well as the Local Government Chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce, was in attendance and announced
that his committee tries to monitor what takes place in Juno
Beach, Tequesta and Jupiter. He added that this area has a
unique situation in that it has the only historical museum in
all of Palm Beach County, into which has been put much effort,
and urged that the Historical Commission, to avoid
duplication, utilize and work in conjunction with the Museum
and its data facility.
