Mr. Baldini said he has spoken with Kevin McNatt of the Historical Society about that
group and the commission getting together to identify the houses shown in some of the
photographs owned by the society and getting both groups some publicity by running the
pictures in local papers and asking people to identify the houses. Mr. Baldini said Mr.
McNatt seemed to be in favor of that project.
Mr, Baldini said he mentioned the commission visiting one of the society's meetings to
get the two groups together. Mr. McCue said that would be a good idea because grant
organizations like to see cooperation.
The commission discussed whether, if work is done on the Copeland House, there should
be a disclaimer for volunteers, especially regarding the lead paint issues. Mr. McCue
said he has a boiler plate disclaimer and release.

Mr. Baldini said he has been appointed to the Springbrook Cemetery Association board
of trustees.
Mr, Baldini said the Historical Society has installed new display cases in the Fisher
Richardson House, so there will be more space for artifacts. Mr. Baldini said the
Historical Society has been having problems finding volunteers to work at the Fisher
Richardson House during the season. The commission discussed talking to the DPW
Director to find out who has jurisdiction over the Fisher Richardson House and if there
are any guidelines for tour guides. If there isn't, the commission may draft something.
Mr. O'Malley asked if the commission could hold a meeting at the Copeland House
sometime soon; Mr. Baldini said he would talk with Mr. McNatt.
