GOALS DISCUSSION
Discussion on the general goals of the Landmarks Commission included a review of the City
Comprehensive Plan in relation to the goals of the Landmarks Commission. Items or goals were
determined to be in -line with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the Commission shall continue to revisit
or align goals with the future plans for Oshkosh going forward. Goals for 2010 include:
• Develop website.
• Try to work with Harold Buchholz to landmark his house at 1165 Algoma Boulevard.
• Shirley Mattox and Paul Arnold to research the North Main historic district and begin process of
State and National registering.
• Try to develop ground work for budget. The North Main district application process may create
proper dialog for explanation/excuse for budget dollars.
• Research ideas /concepts for presentation for art gallery walk in association with the public
library. Two preliminary ideas were 1) history of all public statues in city, 2) presentation of all
past acanthus award winners.
• Continue with Riverside Cemetery sub - committee.
Discussion also took place regarding the need to review if we should continue to have a landmarking sub-
committee, as right now we only have Paul. The need to continue to try and create a pool of names for
future committee members was also deemed as an important task.
ADJOURNMENT

unanimously.
