3. MEMBER REPORTS
A. Liberty Hall Update
Anticipated Bid from Pacific Movers for Building Transport
A $24,000 bid was received to move the Liberty Grange Hall. A discount was provided due
to non-profit status. The bid does not include the new foundation, only moving it to a new
location.
Property for New Grange Hall Site
The new location is about two acres and elongated but the Grange Hall will fit, with room
for parking and will have utilities nearby to hook into. Mayor Chadwick has been in contact
with Mike Moyle to see if he is interested in donating the land. The kitchen will not be
included in the move. A new heat pump will be needed. Next month will have an action
item to get started on getting information for the foundation.
Ongoing Research on Fair Market Value of Grange Hall
Chip spoke with Grange Hall owner Maddi Hastings and she has not met with a tax
professional yet to see if there was a benefit for her to donate it but has asked Chip to get
a value. He will get measurements and photos of the Grange Hall and his wife, who is a
realtor, will assist in getting a value not to include the basement and kitchen.
4. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL
A. Review of Proposal from Fish Dawg Productions (ACTION ITEM)
Lynn Davis presented the $21,100 estimate proposal from Fish Dawg Productions and went over
some of the key items. The plan is to start scheduling one day in March and one day in April and
work with Dean Hagerman.
Lynn Davis moved to approve the proposal. Nate Day seconded. All committee members agreed.
Chip Sitton will oversee keeping the spreadsheet up to date.
Recommendations for the next agenda were the barn histories. Nate Day will make a list of the
known barns. Lynn Davis will ask the videographers to take stills of the barns and get the histories
started and ask Dean Hagerman to do a write up on the barns. It was mentioned that documenting
the different woods on the barns would be an interesting aspect.
