John said that the printer, Bob Long, will soon have the certificates ready. In another order of business John was instructed to deliver a letter, introducing the list of houses which are candidates for Southold Landmark status, to the Southold Town Board on October 26. The letter has an attached list of 38 houses which have been examined by Commission members and considered Landmarks . Upon the Town Board 's approval, the owners of the houses will be notified of the designation, and they may subsequently appear before the Town Board to be awarded their parchment certificates . A workshop on "Effective Landmark Laws - A Workshop on Implememtation and Enforcement" will be held in Rome, N.Y. on October 21, and in Chautauqua, N.Y. on October 30.
