Called to order: 7:40.
1. Landmark Publications is considering publishing a book, called Reading, Then
n now, of photographs by Ed Palmer. They would pay half the total costs which
leaves Ed needing to find $16,000. Arcadia Press would publish the book without the
need for any upfront money. The retail cost would be $27.50. He is going to apply to
the Preservation Trust for seed money. Profits would go to various worthy causes in
Reading.
2. Treasurer report: Roberta presented a printed (included) accounting from
February 1997 through May 1999 for both special revenue and general fund
accounts. Roberta recommended that we pay $20 to each of the three members who
attended a SPNEA seminar. Clay made the motion to pay $56 for plexiglass,
University Products for supplies $199.75, $15 for film processing, and $60 for the
reimbursement of the members' SPINEA seminar. Approved: 5-0-0
3. Lois Bond, elder and human services, brought in the asphalt shingles that are a
closer match to slate for the senior center. The brand is called Grand Manor and
many members of the commission viewed the shingles in use on a home in North
Reading. Roberta feels that we should pursue the use of slate until there is no other
alternative. Ms. Bond is concerned that someone will get hurt from the falling faux
slate coming off the senior center building. She wants action taken immediately. The
Board of Selectmen is meeting about this issue tonight. Roberta wants to make a
presentation to the Board of Selectmen to make them aware of all the aspects of this
issue: the history, the cost-effectiveness of slate, and the need to have more
information before a solution can be found.
5. The commission needs to spend a little time at 379 Haverhill St. doing some
light excavation. The owners are Bob'Batchet and Jackie Rand. We'll meet Friday,
May 21, morning at 8:30.
6. Foster-Emerson house: began the sorting of documents.
7. Adjourned: 10:00 Approved as amended 6-1-99 Louise Sandberg, Secretary.
