The next step will be getting the cost estimates and working through Jack Wert to getting it funded; and, getting it printed. The entire HAPB voted their approval of the final copy of the Historic Guide. B. Rivergrass Village Status Ray Bellows stated the BCC had approved the Rivergrass Village SRA. No subsequent permits, applications for platting or site development plans had been filed. He stated one reason may be a pending lawsuit had been filed against the developer.

The Addenda to the Agenda item was taken up at his time. Elaine Reed explained she had drafted a letter to the City of Marco Island, directed to its chairman, regarding the benefit of creating an Inter-local Agreement between the City of Marco Island and Collier County Government. The benefit to the City of 22.A.3 Packet Pg. 265 Attachment: HAPB Minutes 08-21-20 (13809 : Historical Archaeological Preservation Board 9/18/2020) August 21, 2020 3 Marco Island would be the preservation and recognition of its many historical & archeological sites and treasures, while benefitting from the HAPB and County’s resources. Ray Bellows cautioned that there was no formal process for the County to get involved as the City has its own guidelines for historic preservation. Also, the Marco Island Historical Society could talk to the City Council. The County could only provide some guidance as to what the County’s preservation rules and guidelines are. The City may want to adopt some of those guidelines. However, enforcement was up to the City of Marco Island’s governing body. The HAPB members offered comments and suggested some re-wording to the letter. Ray Bellows suggested that Elaine work on the re-wording and send the final draft to Alexandria Cassanova for review. It should be signed by the Chairman. The final draft will be presented at the next HAPB meeting for approval before sending it out. Elaine Reed will make the changes for the next HAPB meeting. It was suggested that Pat Rutledge be invited to the next HAPB meeting. Elaine Reed responded the subject matter needing discussion was vast and would take up too much time at a regular HAPB meeting. Elaine asked if Austin Bell could contact Pat Rutledge, Executive Director of the MIHS to inform her that Elaine would be contacting her regarding the information she has researched on forming an Inter-local agreement with the City of Marco Island. She, and the HAPB, agreed on the value of input by Pat Rutledge for presentation to the City Council of an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Marco Island. All members of the HAPB agreed. Austin Bell agreed to message Pat Rutledge. 6. NEW BUSINESS A.

He stated the County owns and maintains the Rosemary Cemetery in that same vicinity. The process for obtaining and maintaining the parcel she spoke of could be handled the same way. George Thompson stated the heirs needed to be contacted. The owner, the John Pulling Estate, may be able to be contacted through the Property Appraiser’s information.

Second by Stuart Miller. Motion carried unanimously, 7-0. Chairman Eugene Erjavec requested this item be added to the Project and Activity List. Ray Bellows stated the first step in the process would be for him and Tim Finn to contact Amanda Townsend, County Museum Director, to research any historical information available and contact the heirs. Ms McCormick provided quite a bit of historic information which she will convey to Ray Bellows and Tim Finn to add to the packet of information supporting the case for designation; and will be helpful in the property research. The HAPB thanked her for coming forward with this helpful information and for her interest in preservation.
