December meeting will focus on development of Commission Goals for 2005. Chair Harold Buchholz asked that each Commission member bring at least three ideas for projects to the December
meeting. Members who are unable to attend the meeting are encouraged to submit ideas prior to the meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Harold Buchholz suggested breaking the City up into areas each
Commissioner could informally monitor for activities affecting historic properties. This will be considered during the December goal setting session. Shirley Mattox reported on the conference
held by the Wisconsin Association of Historic Preservation Commissions. The Zuerns received award for restoration of the 6th Avenue Fire Station. She inquired regarding Commission membership
in this organization. Staff reported that staff had a membership, which was less expensive than a Commission membership and copies were made of the organizations mailings for Commission
members, so there would be no apparent benefit for the additional expense. After discussion, Commissioners agreed to contribute personal funds for a Commission level membership. ADJOURNMENT
