and the numerous other artifacts that we do have, have never been designated historic. You may want to consider declaring them historic to ensure their safety. Cassey Gabor asked if the Ocean Palm Motel has been sold,and Mayor Edelcup said it is in the process of being sold. She asked City Historian Schulman what remains in the City that we could possibly declare as historic, and he said we have to go into the remaining motels to see what is available or if they are willing to donate artifacts or memorabilia. Right now it seems we are at a standstill because the remaining motels are not being sold at the present time. Mayor Edelcup said the Thunderbird on the wall, and maybe the Whitehouse that was at the Newport, you can't save them when they demolish the building because they are part of the wall. City Historian Schulman said they need to be free-standing. Chairperson Masters said we will discuss these matters at a future meeting. Mayor Edelcup suggested that City Historian Schulman make a list of current artifacts, and others that may be available and bring the list to the next meeting to discuss. and the Board agreed. Mark Glicksman asked if we do designate objects as historic does that incur additional costs from the City to preserve them, and what does it involve if we do something like that, and does the City want us to consider them. Mayor Edelcup said the artifacts that we already own we would need to designate our own as historic so in the future there would not be any question as to maintaining them. As it relates to other owners of items that you are going to choose to maybe make historic, to those people it could be a burden because they are responsible for maintaining them once they are declared historic unless the City volunteers to pay for their maintenance which may or may not be the case. It probably is not significant in cost if we are not talking about anything major in the way of artifacts but certainly there is a somewhat burden on owners. Cassey Gabor noted that they are not only historic artifacts, it is beautification to the City and is also art, and Mayor Edelcup said those artifacts are part of the history of the City to maintain a value that you can't restore to put a dollar value on them 9.
