II. COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT INFORMATION BROCHURE:
Board members began the discussion of the information brochure by
specifying the goals and objectives they hoped to achieve. The
primary goal identified was to encourage Country Club residents, to
maintain the architectural integrity of the district; and in doing
so, protect the district's status on the National Register of
Historic places.
Some secondary objectives identified were:
- To educate or reacquaint the public about the historic
significance of the district; and
To install a sense of pride and responsibility for
maintaining the district's historical integrity.
Donald Wray pointed out that the benefit to the homeowner would be
the protection of the integrity of the district and in turn, their
property values.
Board members agreed with Mr. Wray, adding that protecting the
property values is an important message to convey to the Country
Club residents through the brochure.
Marilyn Curtis asked what services the Board would offer to the
residents through the brochure.
After a brief discussion, the Board agreed that in addition to the
historic building survey information (compiled in 1981), a list of
resources could be made available addressing various aspects of
historic home renovation to include publications, building supply
firms, etc.
Lois Wilder, working in an editorial capacity made some suggestions
to to better tie together paragraphs and more clearly define the
intent of the brochure.
Referring to the closing of the letter which Board members saw as
needing some strength, Mrs. Wilder suggested a tear -off section
that homeowners could send in to the City requesting information.
Discussion ensued relative to the content of the brochure, the
impact it will have on the residents, and how it will be received
by them.
Lois Wilder agreed to complete the editorial work on the brochure
after which Gary Nyberg and Joyce Repya would meet with Ralph
Campbell (Director of Communications) to work on the key lining of
the project._
Board members shared their ideas for placement of pictures, bullets
and main ideas in a short but productive brainstorming session.
