years ago but are now being vandalized due to their siting far back from the road within <br /> the 130-acre parcel that is being proposed for a future park, to be developed jointly by the <br /> County and Carrboro. For the short term, the house needs to be boarded up. One goal is <br /> to renovate the house to allow for a caretaker to reside on the property. <br /> e. Follow up discussion about field trip to view stone mounds: Members agreed that it <br /> was a very worthwhile field trip. The article that Beverly sent after the tour documented the <br /> purpose for the mounds as written by an observer in 1698-99. For the future, we need to <br /> think about what it should look like to help preserve and protect these. <br /> f. Dates for Field Trip: Staff will have to go back to the Courts staff to get some new dates <br /> for our proposed tour, to find times that don't conflict with the court calendar. Staff will <br /> share these dates later. <br /> ITEM #6: UPDATES AND INFORMATION ITEMS <br /> a. Archaeological Project at Moorefields: We will postpone this until our January meeting. <br /> b. Book Protect: Members of the book committee are now reading the various chapters and <br /> providing comments and feedback. Staff is now in the process of arranging, organizing <br /> and creating file folders on the county server for all of the 650+ photos that we need. We <br /> still need to get permissions for a number of the images from places like UNC. For the <br /> word count, we cut enough out in the last edit to get it within a reasonable range for our <br /> copyediting budget. Moore generously offered to serve as another reader for this effort. <br /> Staff will share the text with her. <br /> c. Open air time: No information was shared in the interest of time. <br /> ITEM #7: ADJOURNMENT: Moore moved to adjourn, seconded by Whisnant; meeting adjourned at <br /> 8:22 pm. <br /> Meeting summary by Peter Sandbeck, DEAPR staff <br /> 3 <br />
