Book Next Steps: <br />Staff handed out a one-pager providing an overview of current and future phases/steps. <br />Our consultants are working on a draft essay as the final piece of their work on our most <br />recent CLG grant-funded survey of the Town ETJ. Staff noted that Stephanie Trueblood <br />will be leaving her post as Town HDC staffer to become more of a project manager; some <br />work will be needed to coordinate with the Town HDC and the new staff person about <br />book project. Staff walked members through the handout. As we move forward, staff <br />wants to post all of our material on a shared drive system, perhaps run by the County or <br />host it on Google Drive. Discussion followed about the essay, including the first Indian or <br />Native American section. There is an essay by Dr. Steve Davis and Patricia Samford, and <br />the work by Trawick Ward; staff will share with book committee. Our goal is to have the <br />book printed and ready to distribute in fall of 2019. The Alliance continues to be willing to <br />serve as a financial agent to help with grant seeking and later with sales of books. <br /> <br />b. Updates to list of properties/sites to be included in book (presentation): <br />Staff provided a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate additional structures that could be <br />included. Members viewed 84 properties at the last meeting; of those, 50 were <br />residences, and 34 were schools, churches, barns etc. All will be posted on our shared <br />site, by township and location. For example there is the Sanders Riley House in Cedar
