Palms Motel, saying "On this property stood the first two-story motel." She said you can put a plaque anywhere, that we wouldn't get much resistance. Mr. Chernoff said that there should be a plaque where the Castaways was, and Chairperson Del Monico said that was a good idea and that he should meet with the Mayor and form a committee, and that it is a wonderful way to preserve history and educate people, and make walking tours as the City progresses, but this is not in our purview but we can support it. She suggested perhaps get a City map and put in flags and write up blurbs and then go to the Commission and ask for approval; and she asked Deputy City Attorney Ottinot his thoughts on this. He said on page 6, Section 3(g) of Ordinance 2004- 197, it states"Increase public awareness of the value of historic conservation by developing and participating in public information programs." She asked how he would recommend handling that, and he said the first thing is to bring it before this Board and vote on it and then have it as a discussion item for the City Commission, and she asked if we had to present a proposed budget for a program, and he said it would be an easier process and show that the Board did their homework. Ms. D'Arbelles said she has graphic designers available to her and she could make some designs for a plaque and bring it to a meeting for its review. Chairperson Del Monico asked the members to e-mail City Clerk Hines any points that they may want on the next agenda for discussion and come prepared to discuss it,:the Board will vote on it, for instance, plaques. It was decided to put plaques on the next agenda for discussion. Ms. Gabor would like artifacts on the agenda as well. Ms. D'Arbelles suggested that the City consider allocating a space in the new City Hall as a museum for the artifacts. Chairperson Del Monico pointed out page 6 of the Ordinance, Section 3(i) "Approve historic markers and plaques and issue recognition to designated historic landmarks and historic landmark districts within the City.", and so under those two sections [3(g)], we can make a proposal,for an historic plaque program here in the City, and regarding the artifacts from the various hotels and motels, she feels that the Trust should be handling these. Mr. Abramson said that the Trust has already gone through it and have surveyed what is available, and Mr. Schulman has presented them, and he suggested for Deputy City Attorney Ottinot to call Miami Beach and get a list of their historic designated properties and the Board take a tour of Miami Beach. Deputy City Attorney Ottinot said he generally wouldn't recommend tours, but he will get the list and each of the members can go on their own. Chairperson Del Monico said regarding the artifacts, that we should make a proposal and present it to the City Commission and get their input as to whether or not they are interested in this for our City. Deputy City Attorney Ottinot suggested putting it on the next agenda for discussion. 8. DATE AND TIME OF NEXT MEETING.
