Mr. Morrison advised there is 3,200 square feet with some office space that is available which will fit the present military needs, however, a future site of 20 acres will be pursued for expansion. Funding for restoration efforts, building costs, and land acquisition for the museum will come from grants, loans and private donations.

Discussion followed relative to fund raising efforts and the assurance that all historical members are on board to support the project.

Controller Compo advised the ballot language is specific to historical preservation for a four (4) year period. A process to distribute collections will have to be implemented by the County. Historical Society President, Kay Cosgray advised the historical society the membership is growing and presently has 187 members. The members are committed to seek voter approval on a “historical preservation” ballot request, as the museum and caboose needs considerable improvements.
