The meeting began at 7:30 pm.
The first agenda item was the August 2005 minutes, which were approved. The second item was a
discussion on the Frederick County Historic Plaque Program. The members stated that the property
owners that have been invited to participate in the program in the past may have the idea that the
plaque will give Frederick County power over their property. The HRAB needs to make sure that
people are not afraid of the program and understand that it is only an acknowledgement that their
property is historic. During the future plaque program process, a press release through the local news
papers and radio should be pursued to inform the public. The HRAB stated that they would like to
see a draft letter for the applicants at the October meeting.
The HRAB then relocated to the Planning Department Conference Room for an overview of the
Rural Landmark maps (quad maps) that are located in the department.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm
