Treasurer's report: Attached <br />3. Web site: On hold. Tim Biller's father died. We will wait to pursue this again. <br />4. Purchases to be made: Scanner, printer, cd writer. Priority set for a scanner. <br />Roberta and Mark will shop. <br />5. Streetscapes: We received the photos of the Auburn Street water tower. <br />Barbara Nealy from N. Reading wants to get utilities underground and wanted our <br />input. <br />6. The contract has gone out to bid for the slate roof replacement of the Senior <br />Center. <br />7. Preservation Awards: Various individuals suggested such as the Sidelinkers <br />and David Barrett. <br />8. Antiques appraisal through Kaminski would only be in the spring. Patriot's day <br />walk-West Street. <br />9. Foster-Emerson house papers still need to be sorted. The commission needs a <br />copy of the deed which should have the deed restrictions. Virginia does not know if <br />the deed restrictions were recorded at the Middlesex registry of deeds. <br />10. CPDC does not seem to be moving very fast on mansionization. <br />11. Nancy Eaton from the Conservation Commission wants to join forces with us on <br />the plans for the area called the Marion Woods. This would mean potential grant <br />proposals to make the area into a park. Virginia would like to see the new park <br />present the history of the community through signs. <br />12. Virginia provided a display to the Eaton School on the event of the school's <br />50th anniversary. <br />13. Dataloguers have been installed in the archives. The room is too hot (72 needs <br />to be below 65) and ultraviolet radiation is too high. The datalogers will be there for 6 <br />months. One easy solution that was suggested in the report is UV filters on the lights. <br />14. The commission saw plans for the Danvers bank which will go in on Harnden <br />Street. We also saw the plans for the proposed Wendy's. <br />15. Adjourned: 9:40 Approved as amendedl2/7/99 Louise Sandberg <br />
