I. Approval of Minutes Mr. Brown stated that he has a correction on Page 4, should be “lived” instead of lives, as Mr. German is deceased. Mr. Morrissey moved for approval as amended; seconded by Mr. Macdonald. All present voted in favor. II. Public Comment Mr. Brown stated that he would like to introduce Dr. William Ray, who is a graduate of South Carolina State College and a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and is interested in history, most especially Black History. He invited Dr. Ray to attend today’s meeting and also shared his Historical Commission book so that he is familiar with that. He  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 2 of 18 added that if there is ever a vacancy on the Commission, Mr. Brown has encouraged Dr. Ray to apply. Dr. Ray thanked the Commission for allowing him the opportunity to listen, learn and find out more about this Commission and what they do for the Town of Mount Pleasant and Charleston County. He said if there is ever a vacancy, he would like the opportunity to help serve and make Mount Pleasant a better place to live. III. Ms. Sally Jacob on behalf of the Thomasena Stokes-Marshall Senior Center Sally Jacob stated that her real name is Dr. Sarah E. Jacob; however, she goes by Sally. She lives at 1152 Village Creek Lane. She said that she is here on behalf of the Thomasena Stokes-Marshall Mount Pleasant Senior Center Association, which is different from the Senior Center itself. She said the association is a 501c3. She said they were formed to support the Senior Center and conduct activities such as collecting food from Harris Teeter for the Café, do special monthly meals and also hold forums each month. She said that she is the Chair of the Forum Committee. She stated that the Mount Pleasant Senior Association would like to request a member or members of the Mount Pleasant Historical Commission to do a presentation about the History of Mount Pleasant at an Association sponsored forum on Wednesday, March 14, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. at the Mount Pleasant Senior Center Services Center at 840 Von Kolnitz Road. She said the reason for the March 14th date is that the senior center provides one day per month on every second Wednesday for these forums. Mr. Gutowski said this is an ideal way to obtain exposure in the community, because many do not realize there is a Historical Commission. He asked Mr. Luly to request Michael Robertson to give his PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Luly said that he would ask. He asked if the Commission would like to give the presentation on the history of Mount Pleasant or on the Historical Commission’s duties and responsibilities.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 3 of 18 Commission members unanimously stated that both should be presented. Mr. Gutowski stated that this is the day prior to the regularly scheduled Historical Commission meeting. He stated that no more than three Commission members will be able to attend the forum, so they will not have a quorum. He suggested the possibility of having the Historical Commission meeting at the Senior Center. Ms. Jacob stated that she will be happy to check with the Senior Center and the Association. Ms. Schless stated that the Senior Center is one of the places that the Commission identified for doing a presentation. She said there is interest in the history of the Town, because many are newcomers to the Town. She said this would be more of the interest and likely not holding an official meeting at the Senior Center. Ms. Jacob stated that she needs to have a commitment on the date. Mr. Gutowski requested a motion to support the Senior Center on March 14, 2018 with a presentation of the history of Mount Pleasant. Mr. Morrissey made a motion to commit to the date, for Planning Department to provide the already produced history presentation, and if they are unable to present, then a Commission member will commit to be available to provide a history presentation; seconded by Mr. Kelley. All present voted in favor. Mr. Gutowski stated that he would prefer to have more than 20 senior center members attend. Ms. Jacob stated that she will also work on a large attendance and asked Ms. Schless for her assistance. Ms. Schless stated that this also provides ample time to develop the rack card that outlines the services provided by the Commission. She stated that there is a location at the Senior Center where there are rack cards on display and having the Commission’s rack card would be a great addition.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 4 of 18 Mr. Gutowski stated that it would be a good lead in to Black History Month the month prior, as there are four events scheduled for every Saturday in February. IV. Staff Update Mr. Luly stated that the Town website concerning Historical Commission items is being turned over to him. He said he is in the processing of learning to be a webmaster. He said that there was mention of the unincorporated community cards that Cari Goetcheus from the University of Georgia, had done through a survey. He said that the Town does have them and believes he has located the individual who came in and scanned the files. He believes it is Mary Beth Reed of New South Associates. He said that he will make contact and attempt to acquire a digital file. Mr. Macdonald said that prior to scanning, he asked if it would be prudent to have Grant Gilmore review them to ensure they are organized. Mr. Luly stated that they have already been scanned and said that he believes Ms. Reed did all the scanning. Mr. Shortridge asked if these are the boxes that he went through, because they were already organized. Mr. Luly responded in the affirmative. He said that Mr. Macdonald’s suggestion to have Dr. Gilmore review these files would be an asset to the Town. Ms. Schless asked if the Commission’s Timeline link on the website would be coming back online. Mr. Luly stated that he has not heard whether it will be back online or not. Ms. Schless stated that it is very helpful for the Quick Fact Fridays and asked if there was a way to gain access to this as a file in order for the Commission to use while it is being decided whether the timeline will be restored or not on the Town website.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 5 of 18 Mr. Luly said that he will look into it. Mr. Gutowski asked if there was a reason the Timeline was deleted from the website. Mr. Luly stated that it was done when the website was updated. Ms. Schless asked if it was done intentionally. Mr. Gutowski stated that someone made a decision not to put it back up. Mr. Luly stated that he was not involved in the website update and believes they were working with consultants. He stated that this was an upper management project to transition from the old website format to the new one and decisions were made to rearrange, add and drop items. He stated that he will ask about the Commission’s timeline. Mr. Gutowski stated that the Commission would like to see the Timeline back up on the website and asked Mr. Luly to voice the Commission’s concerns. Mr. Luly stated that he has relayed the information. Ms. Schless said she would have thought it would be a significant undertaking to have developed the Timeline initially and to throw that resource effort away is wasteful. Mr. Macdonald asked if the Commission has received anything back from Carol Poplin concerning the History Room. Mr. Luly stated that when he arrived this morning, he noticed emails from Ms. Poplin overnight; however, did not read them yet, as he was setting up for this meeting. He stated that he will update Commission members on the information from Ms. Poplin. Mr. Luly stated that he neglected to add an agenda item to vote on the Cresco Award. He stated that the medallion has arrived. Mr. Gutowski asked for a motion to amend the agenda after Staff Update to add as item IV.A to vote on the Cresco Award.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 6 of 18 Mr. Macdonald so moved; seconded by Mr. Kelley. All present voted in favor. IV. A. Vote on Cresco Award Mr. Macdonald announced that the recipient for the 2017 Cresco Award, by unanimous vote, is Walter J. Brown, Jr. V. Committee Reports Quick Fact Friday Ms. Schless stated that what she has distributed is what she is proposing for next year. She stated that Mr. Morrissey will be providing the QFF’s for December and will be focusing on Museums and Historic sites in Mount Pleasant. She stated that since there are five weeks in December, suggested having one week focus on the 180th birthday of the Town of Mount Pleasant. Mr. Morrissey stated that for December, he was planning on doing the Town’s birthday on the 22nd QFF, the Medal of Honor Museum on the 29th and said if he finds a date that is more appropriate, the Charles Pinckney Historic site, Boone Hall and the Yorktown. Ms. Schless stated that her outline is very similar to this year’s. She said that she believes the Commission needs to raise awareness and readership of the QFF as the majority of the readers are Town employees and the Commission would like to have a broader reach. She is asking if the Communications Committee would be able to come up with suggestions and a plan for raising awareness and readership. Mr. Kelley stated that he will accept that challenge and will have a proposal ready by December. Ms. Schless stated that the handout includes a summary of what topics were covered in 2017, beginning in February, so that as the Commission develops the topics for 2018, members are aware of what has been covered and what topics can be repeated. She said that the founding fathers would be one that could be repeated, as Mr. Brown has suggested that more contemporary famous people from the Town may  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 7 of 18 be covered. She said that only three QFF weeks were missed in 2017, which was great for the first year of the QFFs being the Commission’s responsibility (was originally the responsibility of the Communications Office). She said she received some suggestions for next year’s topics and there were a number of topics remaining from last year’s list. She said that many of the suggested sources that were identified on this year’s list were from when the previous Town website was in place and the Timeline was available. She said that some of the links may no longer work. She said on Page 3, she would like to work out the allocation of who will be responsible for each month of the coming year. She said that some members covered two months and some only did one, and some months had five weeks, in 2017. She said she realizes this take quite a bit of effort to accomplish and would like to be fair and equitable to members. She said that Mr. Gutowski takes care of February with Black History Month events. She said that both Mr. Morrissey and Mr. Shortridge completed two full months this year and would like to offer that they only be responsible for one month in 2018, unless they wish to do two months. She said if everyone else would select two months, this would be helpful, as well as selecting their topics. Mr. Gutowski suggested Commission members review and come back with their topics and months at the December meeting. Mr. Morrissey stated that long term, he said that it would be good to repeat some of the topics. He said if part of the Commission’s duty is teaching the Town its history, repetition helps, possibly on a two or three year cycle. Mr. Gutowski asked if these are archived. Ms. Schless stated that she retains all the QFF emails she receives. Mr. Gutowski stated that a great deal of research has been done additionally to what is on a historical marker and if there was a place where all this information could be stored on the website, it would be great.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 8 of 18 Mr. Luly stated that he can explore this. Ms. Schless stated that she agrees that many of them should be repeated, but there are still many topics that can be covered that will be interesting. She asked Commission members not to use Wikipedia or similar sources, and should first and foremost use the Town’s website, the MountPleasantHistorical.org website and the Historical Markers. She stated that Commission members should at least be utilizing the Town’s resources. Mr. Gutowski stated that other great resources are the books written by Mary-Julia Royall. Ms. Schless said that she has listed these resources in the handout. She said on the back page is the template that has been utilized for the QFF’s, which she sends out electronically to Commission members. She asked Mr. Luly if a link could be included at the bottom of the template for the MountPleasantHistorical.org site. Mr. Luly stated that he would include this. Ms. Schless mentioned that she noticed the font size was smaller in the main text than in the repeat paragraph at the bottom of each QFF and suggested that they either both be of the same size or the reverse of the current situation. Mr. Gutowski asked if the newly approved Historical Commission logo could be incorporated. Ms. Schless stated that she would be happy to work with Mr. Luly. Oral Histories Mr. Shortridge stated that he has no official report except to get caught up on the oral histories. Mr. Gutowski asked Mr. Brown to provide an update on Avery. Mr. Brown stated that he had a conversation with Mr. Darren Calhoun, who is responsible for the oral histories at Avery. He said after the 18th of November, Mr. Calhoun will be available and said that he will be the  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 9 of 18 first one Mr. Calhoun interviews. Mr. Calhoun said that he will complete the remaining oral histories during the months of November and December. Mr. Brown said that he is suggesting that after this time, to seek another source for oral histories, because there is going to be a great deal of turnover at Avery with retiring members, as well as the renovations of the building. He said that Mr. Calhoun has been filling several positions and said that he has not be derelict in his duties, just attending to more pressing responsibilities than oral histories. Mr. Shortridge asked if Mr. Calhoun could contact him to review the names of those on the list. He said in addition, next week he will be contacting Kerry Taylor, who is a professor at the Citadel and very involved in the oral history consortium here in Charleston where they train people, to see what other alternatives there are available. He said that he will report back at the December Commission meeting. Mr. Gutowski said he would like to obtain a reconciliation of what histories have been done, the status, what has and has not been paid for. Cresco Award Mr. Macdonald congratulated Mr. Brown as the new honoree of the 2017 Cresco Award. He reminded Mr. Luly to also request the proclamation from the Mayor for the December Town Council meeting. He said that he would like to ask the Chair, Mr. Gutowski, to write a letter to the other nominee thanking them for their nomination and asking that they resubmit their nomination for next year’s cycle. Mr. Gutowski agreed. Communications Mr. Kelley said that he is still standing by for the program lineup for Black History Month. He said that he has had discussions with the editor of the Moultrie News who is willing to support the Commission in promoting Black History Month in February and the events that are being scheduled. He said his goal is to be able to promote prior to BHM and then each week prior to each event to showcase. He said he also  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 10 of 18 communicated with Mr. Quintin Washington, who produces a You Tube channel and has agreed to support the Commission. He said that he is looking to do an interview prior to BHM. He said that they are still working on the details of Mr. Washington’s support. Mr. Kelley said that he has some additional suggestions for QFF topics and will email them to Ms. Schless. He said that he will work on a plan of approach for increasing exposure to the public and the residents of Mount Pleasant. He said that he would also like say that he agrees with Mr. Morrissey that some of the QFF topics can be regenerated every year, such as museums and historical sites, historic neighborhoods and historic individuals from our community. He said with history, when residents make that connection, it makes them feel more involved. Mr. Gutowski stated that in reference to the rack cards that have been discussed, he asked if this project could be expedited. He provided Mr. Kelley with a sample and said these can be displayed promoting Black History Month and the Historical Commission. Mr. Kelley said he would be happy to move forward with this, but needs to know what the Commission would like printed on them. Mr. Luly asked if the intent to develop a rack card is for promoting the Historical Commission. Ms. Schless restated that said in previous discussions, that the role of the Commission is to raise awareness about the history of the Town and that if content was included that steers readers to the tools that the Commission has available, such as the website, the App, etc., then the public is able to gain access and knowledge about the Town’s history. She said the rack card should serve as something that summarizes the tools that the Commission has available such as the App, website, historical markers, oral histories, as well as the Town’s Archive Room. Mr. Luly asked if this would be printed professionally. Ms. Schless stated that there had been discussion regarding doing something more temporary initially, such as a tri-fold that can be printed in-house, prior to professional printing which is an added  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 11 of 18 expense. She stated that she would be happy to work with Mr. Kelley on this project. Mr. Brown stated that as a suggestion with QFF, when he moved to Mount Pleasant 53 years ago, there were row houses and they predated the Edmund Jenkins project. He said they were one room with outdoor privy, and a spigot and this was Horry Row in Greenwich; the Big Ditch and Bloody Row, and this is where the black residents resided. He said the late Mayor, Frances Coleman had the idea and the land, but the Town did not have any funding. He said they worked out a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Charleston and this is how the Edmund Jenkins project came about. He said that there were also two doctors, Dr. Frampton was an apothecary, who made home visits, and also Dr. Pickett. He said that these were the only two doctors at the time in the Town. He said many people do not know that history. He said then there are the three black funeral parlors; The Powell Funeral Parlor and he was the husband of the Laing Principal, which was on Royall Avenue; Murray’s Funeral Parlor was on Simmons Street; and Brown’s Funeral Parlor was the fore runner for Johnson’s Funeral Parlor, located on Venning Street. He said that those are things that may be considered for QFF’s. Ms. Jacob said she enjoys the QFF’s and said that the maps with the changes in the Town are great. Black History Month Mr. Brown provided a draft of the Black History Month program to Commission members. He stated that it includes members of his church and does not believe the members of the congregation understand the impact that these individuals have had on the community. He reviewed the Saturday line-up’s with Commission members.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 12 of 18 Mr. Gutowski asked if each of the individuals shown for the February 3, 2018 event will be speaking. Mr. Brown responded in the affirmative. He said that the Minister of Music for Friendship AME Church will be play spiritual music as you come in and half way through the program, the Boys Cathedral Choir will give a rendition. He said that he will time it so it will not exceed an hour. He said that he will introduce the speakers and they will speak for a short period. He said all these individuals are members of Friendship AME Church and many of his congregation are unaware of their contributions to the community. He said the Plantation Singers will sign on February 10th and on February 17th, the SC State University Generals, will be featured. He said he currently has three Army General and two US Marine Generals that have committed. He said he will be talking to the local chapter of the SC State Alumni, which he is a member of, to  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 13 of 18 see if they will host a reception for the generals at Goodwill from 5 pm to 6:30 pm, then start the program at 7 pm. He has asked Ret. Col. William Mazyk to be the moderator. He said that on February 24th, at Hibben, Claflin University Choir will have a concert. Mr. Gutowski asked if all the paperwork has been completed for Claflin to sing at BHM on February 24th. Mr. Brown stated that he sent all the documents certified and Claflin University has not been able to locate the documents. He said if they are unable to locate the certified package, Mr. Brown stated that he will take a copy and drive it to Claflin University. He said the Town did their due diligence and Mr. Brown mailed it certified; however, they are unable to find it. Mr. Luly offered his assistance in providing additional copies. Mr. Gutowski thanked Mr. Brown for all his assistance. Mr. Brown asked for any suggestions. Mr. Kelley said that he would like to obtain more detail on the Black History Month events in order to promote these events. Mr. Gutowski asked if there were any additional expenses with the other churches where events are being held, other than the cleaning expense at Christ Church. He said he is not sure if Goodwill AME will request a cleaning fee. Mr. Brown stated that there is no expense at Friendship AME Church or Hibben United Methodist Church; however, he is not sure if there are any costs for Goodwill AME. Ms. Schless asked for a rough estimate for the cost of Black History Month since it is a significant portion of the Commission’s budget. Mr. Gutowski stated that he believes it will be less than in past years. Mr. Brown said there was mention of a kickoff and mentioned that Dr. Lisa Brock may be able to provide her report. He said that Dr. Brock will not be available in February, but will be back in March. He suggested  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 14 of 18 requesting Dr. Brock to do a kickoff in January. He said that it can be held at Friendship AME. Mr. Gutowski suggested the weekend of Dr. Martin Luther King’ birthday. Mr. Brown stated that he will look at the church schedule. He invited Ms. Mary-Julia Royall as his guest to the 140th birthday of Friendship AME Church. He said that it will be a black tie event on December 29th. He said that 20 years ago, Ms. Royall attended, as well as Mayor Harry M. Hallman, Jr. (dec). He stated that it will be held at the Greater Goodwill AME Church, as they have a large fellowship hall and said that it is free event and will be held at 7:00 p.m. He said that in the minutes, there was mention of Dorothy Eddings, who is the eldest member of Friendship AME. He said that the Commission has her Oral History and he would like to request a copy of this and the church will pay the cost to reproduce it, so they are able to play it during the event. Archive Room Mr. Morrissey said that he has not heard from Ms. Poplin. He added that he, Mr. Macdonald, Mr. Shortridge (via telephone), Mr. Luly, Ms. Lauren Sims, Ms. Poplin and her colleague, met prior to the October Commission meeting and Ms. Poplin stated that she would not be able to produce schematics for the design of the archive, but would attempt to do so for a presentation at the November meeting. He said that the Town’s Legal Counsel was also reviewing the procedures for items loaned or gifted to the Town, not just for the Archive Room, but town- wide. He stated that he has not heard back from them, but will follow up. He asked Mr. Luly if there has been any update regarding the Abbey Monroe papers. Mr. Luly stated that he has not heard back from the South Caroliniana Library. Mr. Morrissey stated that prior to the October Commission meeting, the South Caroliniana Library stated that they have started digitizing the Abbey Monroe papers and it would take several weeks. He said that  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 15 of 18 they advised that the Town would receive a digitized copy and it would also be posted on the South Caroliniana Library website as a link. He said that he shared this with Mr. Gutowski regarding the Commission’s concerns with the Hamlin Cemetery on Rifle Range and Hamlin Roads, where new development was taking place. He said that Fly Leaf is the General Contractor and they did reach out to Mr. Morrissey to advise that they are aware of the cemetery and will protect it as the homes go up, and will landscape around it to continue to protect it. Ms. Royall said that Jeanette Lee called her regarding her concern about the historic cemetery initially. She said that she has been talking to Elizabeth Hamlin, who has been attempting to keep up with the cemetery. VI. General Discussion – Items of Interest Mr. Gutowski asked Mr. Morrissey about the status of the moratorium letter regarding the Sweetgrass Overlay District. Mr. Morrissey stated that the African American Settlement Group asked that the Commission delay moving forward with the letter, pending their canvassing of actual property owners in the district. He said that when the Town had the Comprehensive Plan meeting, he sent his written summary to everyone afterwards, he mentioned the Commission’s prior request for a moratorium in the Sweetgrass Basket Overlay District and that the letter had been sent to the Mayor. He said that the consultants who were working on the Comprehensive Plan said they were aware of the letter. He added that they did not comment how it was being used or imposed, but did acknowledge receipt of it. Mr. Gutowski asked Mr. Luly to ensure the new Mayor receives a copy of the letter. Mr. Macdonald stated that he recently attended the dedication of Johnson Funeral Home, which is the headquarters for the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc. He stated that he and Mr. Morrissey are the liaisons and he was asked to speak, along with Ms. Stokes-Marshall. He stated that Congressman Sanford was also in  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 16 of 18 attendance. He said after speaking with Ms. Stokes-Marshall and the leadership of the group, he advised them that the Historical Commission would like to collaborate with them in addressing the issue of the Sweetgrass Basket Overlay District with the consultants and the group putting together the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. He said that they do not want to get ahead of the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc. He asked Ms. Stokes-Marshall to coordinate a meeting before the next Comprehensive Planning meeting. He said that he will contact the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc. and advise them that if they would like to have a joint statement with the Planning Commission, the Commission will need some direction from the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc., because the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc. must come to a consensus as to the position of the Settlement Group concerning the overlay district and the protection of cultural assets here in the Town of Mount Pleasant. He stated that he will contact the group today and report back to Historical Commission members. Mr. Morrissey stated that he thought the deadline for receiving community inputs to the Comprehensive Planning Commission was November 17th. Ms. Schless stated that this is what the email stated that had the link to the survey. Mr. Morrissey stated that as individual Commission members, all should take the survey and state what they would like to see happen. He said that there are strength in numbers and believes the Town is keeping metrics. He asked if there was any interest as a Commission in having some type of Commission product to provide to the Comprehensive Planning forum by November 17th indicating the areas the Commission is concerned with. Mr. Gutowski asked if Mr. Morrissey would like to take this effort on. Mr. Morrissey responded in the affirmative.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 17 of 18 Mr. Gutowski stated that Commission members are all interested in historical locations, such as the corner of Hamlin and Rifle Range Roads, which the Town did not realize even existed. Mr. Morrissey asked that each Commission member put together a list of any areas they are aware of that they would like identified to be buffered or zoned to protect those areas. He suggested that he then draft a cover letter forwarding all the materials indicating the Commission’s concerns. He said that he would put together something on the Christ Church line, something from the African American Historical Settlement Commission, Inc., the prior letter on the Sweetgrass Overlay District. He stated that he would gather all the material. Mr. Gutowski said there was a log cabin home on the corner of Six Mile and Rifle Range roads, and no one was aware of it until the land was cleared. He said the backhoes destroyed the log cabin home. Mr. Morrissey said that when he and Mr. Shortridge did the Town’s “Meet and Greet” at Alhambra Hall previously, an architecture student said that one of the buildings that were destroyed when the new development went in across Towne Centre was a Civil War vintage Freedman’s Cottage. Mr. Gutowski stated that the Commission should have some idea, prior to any new development, what is there prior to being destroyed. He said such as the Snowden School House. Mr. Macdonald stated that the School House is still there. Mr. Morrissey said that this is the type of input he is looking for. Ms. Schless asked for a deadline to get member input to Mr. Morrissey. Mr. Morrissey said the sooner the better, but no later than the 15th of November. Mr. Macdonald stated that he would attempt to get a statement from the Settlement Group to Mr. Morrissey prior to the 15th of November.  Historical Commission November 9, 2017 Page 18 of 18 Mr. Brown asked for the name of the president of the Settlement Community. Mr. Morrissey said that it is John Wright. VII. Adjourn Mr. Macdonald moved to adjourn; seconded by Mr. Morrissey. All present voted in favor There being no further business, meeting adjourned at 9:06 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Ashe November 9, 2017
