Kenneth Godfrey was elected Chairman and Louis Black, Secretary, esch to

The following items were agreed upon:
(1) First priority will be to develop an initial list of landmarks,
but this will necessitate:
a. Drawing up criteria which can be used in identifying and
designating landmarks;
b. Using existing lists of landmarks (such as--the Mattituck list
of 67 structures, the three sectional Bicentennial-map of
Southold Town, the Orient structures appearing in the National
Register,' etc,) as a take-off point;
c. Grouping the landmarks chronologically, tackling first the
pre-1800 era, then the 1800-1850 period, etc.
(2) The Commission will attempt to have the first list of landmarks
(probably the ,pre-1800 group) ready for submission to the Town Board
in five or six months.
(3) -The Commission will prepare a modest operational budget (to include
Postage,, telephone costs,-letterhead stationery) for submission to
the Town Board.
(4) Meetings will be held on the third Wednesday of every month at
7:30 in the Town Hall, providing the Town Clerk sees no serious
conflict with other meetings.
(5) The Commission will initially channel publicity, which it feels is
an important aspect of its educational responsibilities, through the
Town authorities.
