6. NEW BUSINESS <br />6.1 Consideration of whether to set a public hearing to designate the <br />Ford Country Day School as a Town Landmark under ordinance <br />#257 <br />Siegel asked the City Attorney for clarification of the contract that was being <br />requested by the applicant. She commented that there are provisions in the <br />government tax codes that allow a property owner to enter into a contract <br />establishing a site as an historical landmark for a minimum of ten years in <br />exchange for reduced property taxes. The codes also establish certain <br />requirements, similar to Ordinance #257, regarding maintenance and <br />alteration. The contract is required because it is a recorded document and it <br />alerts the County to an official record. The Town can request the property be <br />opened to the Public with mutual agreement. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by <br />Dauber and passed unanimously to agendize on the February 17, 1993 City <br />Council Regular Meeting a public hearing to consider designation of the <br />Morgan Manor as a Town Landmark under Ordinance #257. <br />7.
