Director's Report
February 13, 2006
1. The County will be
initiating the budget process for FY' 07 in the near future. I
will be seeking to reallocate existing funds to allow Stewart Gray to
become a part-time County employee.
2. Jennifer Klish, a student
intern, has started her work with the Town of Davidson. In my
judgment, the Commission is making a major contribution to historic
preservation efforts in the town.

before the Pineville Town Board on February 14th to explain the next
step in the implementation of a comprehensive preservation plan for the
town's commercial core.

the performance of due diligence.

has advanced a suggested addendum to the contract to purchase the

for the Commisson's two Silverside or Fishbowl buses continues to
evolve. Staff hopes to have more definitive news in the near
future.

continue at the Grier-Rea House. The property should be ready to
go on the market in April. Plans for the upfit of the Sidney and
Ethel Grier House should come before the Design Review Committee at its
