,ACTION ITEM
1) Discussion regarding plans for a historic home tour.
Mr. Tenney advised the Members of the Board of his discussions with Debbie Tackett,
• Assistant Director of the Dade Heritage Trust. Ms. Tackett reported that the Trust's deadline
for submitting information to be included in the printed brochure is today, February 6th. Due
to this deadline, an emergency meeting was convened to decided whether or not the Board
would conduct a walking tour this year and if so, the date for such a tour. Mr. Tenney stated
that Ms. Tackett stated that either Saturday April 5th or Saturday April 12th would be available
for the Shores' tour.
•
Individual Board Members expressed their opinions on whether or not they should conduct a
tour this year. Mr. Tenney advised the group that former members of the Board had
indicated that they would assist with the tour should the Board choose to conduct the tour.
Mr. Zelkowitz suggested that the later date (April 12th) be considered as it would give
everyone an extra week for planning and preparation. Additional considerations which were
discussed were the number of houses necessary for the tour, manpower needs, and
contingent plans should the tour need to be cancelled for any reason.
Following these discussions, Ms. Collins moved to forego conducting a house tour this year.
Ms. Temkin seconded the motion. The vote, when called, was 2 to 2 with Mr. Tenney and Mr.
Zelkowitz voting against the motion.
Additional discussions took place with assurances made that a cancellation plan would be in
place. Mr. Zelkowitz then moved to have the walking tour take place on Saturday, April 12,
2003, with marketing information to include the caveat of requiring reservations through
William Tenney and Mr. Tenney's telephone number be listed. Mr. Tenney seconded the
motion and the vote was 3 to 1 with Ms. Collins dissenting.
