5. Old Business:
A. Rosemary Cemetery (Plot N and Plot W) historic designation update, formal vote.
• Amanda spoke regarding this project. She has been working on this
project since May 2020. It was coincidental that damage was noticed to a
pillar on Plot N in May of 2020. Then a citizen noticed damage to Plot W
of Rosemary Cemetery. Shortly after that, it was placed in the hands of
Collier County. Today we have received deeds from the heirs of the
property owners on record and we have a proposal. We are now ready to
take all of that to the County Board of Commissioners for a request to
designate Plot W and Plot N as historically significant in Collier County
and protect them for future generations.
• Goal is to go to The Board of Commissioners for their December meeting
and have certain aspects completed by February.
Motion to approve sending this to The Board of County Commissioners. Motion
approved by Elizabeth Perdichizzi. Second by Cindy Carroll. Motion passed
unanimously.

A. Discussion of November 15th HAPB meeting at the Museum of Everglades in
Everglades City.

meeting of 10:00am. Potential itinerary was further discussed.
• Seeing the old train station came up and unfortunately, due to funding, is not
