Joe Frank handed out copies of the three proposals from private citizens to relocate the Cunningham Barn. Concern was expressed about the use of $20,000 of the Historic Preservation Funds for moving the barn to private property. The LPC decided to discuss this issue later when cost estimates were developed by the Purchasing Department. COMMISSION REPORTS: Richard Hill asked members to go see the structure which has been recently moved to West Laurel Street as an example of a "scrape -off".
