  o  Allison Duwe representing the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee updated the Board. The members
  met recently and wanted to brief the Board that they are looking to support the Village of Springville with the
  Application for Downtown Revitalization Grant. They would like to set up about three (3) meetings at the end of
  the summer to review the Comprehensive Plan, build understanding and alignment. They would like to send the
  invitation to the other boards within the Village. The committee would also like all members to receive a bound
  copy of the plan.
  Allison also mentioned that the Comprehensive Plan Committee is looking for some outside help for funding to keep
  this committee successful.
  o  Irene Lockwood spoke about the closing of the JBR Chaffee Nursing Home. She is very concerned about this. She
  is also concerned about the cars speeding on Cattaraugus Street. Irene would like someone to investigate how to
  stop this.

NEW BUSINESS

  o  Resolution requesting approval to modify the FFY25 Historic Preservation Fund Certified Local Government Grant
  Project to include Website Development and Management Services for the Springville Historic Preservation
  Commission. Trustee Schuster would like this resolution to be approved so we can ask SHPO (State Historic
  Preservation Office) to repurpose the funds to include website development.
  Superintendent Duane Boberg spoke with Clinton Brown about modifying the grant projects scope to include
  website development. Clinton Brown said that there was room in scope of the grant to update the Village of
  Springville’s website, but making a stand-alone website for the Historic Preservation Committee would be unlikely.
  Frances Stern from SHPO believes that it would be unfair to the other applicants to change the scope of the Grant.
  They try not to change the scope, but it will not hurt to ask for this. The Board would like to send the Resolution to
  SHPO to see what they say. This was approved by Trustee Schuster and seconded by Trustee Baker and carried
  with unanimous approval.
