PRESENTATION OF HIKEBIKE TRAIL SAFETY PROJECT This presentation was delayed until the next meeting. IV. DISCUSSION ON GEORGIAN PLACE PARK NAMING The developer from Georgian Place is going to dedicate a 10 acre park and would like it to be named Geneva Park. The board viewed the current map on Georgian Place and did not see a 10 acre park designated. The board needs more information and clarification as to the proposed park. V. DISCUSSION AND ACTION ON LUTHER STEARNS LOG CABIN Lou and Margie Fuller with the Museum Board said they surveyed the log cabin and said it could be rebuilt. Mr. Fuller said he would like it to be a museum project. He would like to help gather the necessary information and supplies in order to reconstruct the log cabin. The Museum Board would design a sketch of what they envision the log cabin would look like. This will take about one month. Mr. Fuller also mentioned that the Steam's Family may want to get a historical marker. It was also discussed that an archeological study should be done on the site to discover what tools and dishes were used during that time period. This would help in reconstruction. An approval from the current landowner to do the study would be required. Mr. Fuller said he would come back to the January meeting with a sketch and findings about the archeological study. VI.
