Discuss and Approve Glass Shelving Option Village Clerk McWilliams described the proposed display cabinets for the benefit of new member Patricia Marie, and recommended the Committee accept the proposal from William H. Murphy to install the cabinetry at $750 and to purchase frosted white film to cover the back glass for approximately $200, both from this year's budget; and to have the work completed by September 30, 2009. Village Clerk McWilliams further recommended the Committee accept the quote from Gunn's Quality Glass & Mirror in the amount of $2,488.00, to be paid out of next year's budget to begin October 1, 2009. Ms. Laur reported she had spoken with David Woods of David Woods Window Tinting, who had offered a$50 discount for the frosted white window covering, since he had that in stock. The Village Clerk commented there had been previous discussion regarding purchasing a plaque with past Council and Mayor names and dates with any money left in this year's budget, which could be added to over the years. Historic Preservation Committee Meeting Minutes August 7, 2009 Page 2 Village Clerlc McW��liams requested the Committee do most of the iegwork on projects, with help from volunteers. Clerk McWilliams reported the Committee had spent $465 on molding installation, hooks, and a historical photo from the Palm Beach Post. There was $2,035 remaining. Anticipated expenses: William Murphy $750; frosted covering for glass $200; cost of a plaque and possibly gold pieces on the plaque. Mrs. Campbell suggested placing the plaques of the Council Members and Mayor in the front hall on the wood squares, to order bases and just keep adding to them; and having Lois Sixberry come over to look and tell the committee what she proposed. To get a correct list of past Mayors and Council Members, Village Clerk McWilliams recommended the committee go through the minute books and make a list with dates. fihe possibility of getting one cabinet compietely finished before starting the other one was proposed. Ms. McWilliams expressed concern that there was not time to do that before September 30 when the fiscal year ended. Chair Humpage nated it was probably cheaper to get both done at once. Ms. Campbell had brought historical items to place on the glass shelves, which Village Clerk McWilliams indicated would be held until the shelves were ready. MOTION Dottie Campbell moved approval in the 2008/09 FY budget to hire William Murphy to provide cabinetry cases for the two windows in the lobby, work to be completed by 9/30/09 and paid for, and purchase the frosted white window film to be installed and paid for by 9/30/09. Phase Two will be hiring Gunn's Glass in next year's budget at $2,498, plus memorial plaques for Mayors and Council Members from the 2008/2009 budget Chair Humpage seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 4-0 vote. 3. Discuss Items to be Placed on Molding Village Clerk McWilliams thanked Dottie Campbell for her donation of the molding which had been recently installed in Village Hall, and nine 8-1/2" x 11" frames, and thanked Betty Laur for a large frame she had donated. Dottie Campbell showed a molding sample and asked if Mr. William Murphy would give a quote to make frames, as she had a lot ofi that molding. Mrs. Campbell recommended just getting ptain glass to go into the frames. Village Clerk McWilliams recommended the committee go through two boxes of photos from Dottie Campbell and newspaper articles that had been collected, to get some things into the picture frames and up on the molding. The items could periodically be switched out. Mrs. Campbell suggested that the 50 Anniversary materials could be made into a wonderFul montage.

Final Approval of Resident List and Letter An "A" list that would receive the first round of letters was reviewed and corrections made to the resident list. Village Clerk Mc1/Viltiams advised the committee that staff would update the list of residents with the information discussed today, create labels and letters and mail those; and hopefully receive donated items, then move on from there. Mrs. Campbell asked about contacting businesses, not just residents. Consensus was to do that later. 5. Schedule next meeting August 12 at 1 p.m. was set to apply labels and stuff envelopes. 6. Any Other Matters Village Clerk McWilliams passed around some items she had received: "Camelot Historic and Cultural Center, Preserving the Treasures of Nature"; and a DVD from Bruce Valente, a videographer who filmed the Jupiter Inlet underwater video, "Exploring the Blue" in 2000, which Mrs. Campbell requested to take home to view.
