6. OLD BUSINESS

a) Review revised brochure for the Reagan Way walking tour. Deter presented a revised layout of the brochure that lacked the map (see attached). If any Commissioner has further feedback, he/she can send it to Deter. The map will be incorporated, and a revision should be ready for the next meeting.

If approved, the proposal will be referred to the Planning Commission.

Prior to the May 21, 2021, meeting, all Commissioners are asked to send Deter a resume “showing their demonstrated interest, knowledge, or expertise in historic preservation.” Such resume information is requested by the CLG application.
