V. PRE-SCHEDULED VISITORS
Members of the Englewood Historical Society, Dave Paschal and Orian Hunter, presented a
written report to the EHA Board detailing the progress made to date. Temporary Chairman
Innes expressed the Board's concerns on what plans the EHS has made to begin repaying the
money lent them by the EHA for the Depot Project. EHA Board Members also requested
information on the EHS's projected budget and time-line plans for finishing the project. Mr.
Hunter reported that the EHS' s goal is to manage the initial $100,000 grant from the State
Historical Society in such a way as to receive the most goods and services for their grant
dollars, which will then stimulate contributions from other funding sources and the community
enabling the EHS to finish the lower level and create a profit center. Once that is complete,
the EHS should be able to pay back the note to the EHA more quickly.
The Board thanked the members of the Englewood Historical Society for their time and report.
Mr. Paschal and Mr. Hunter left the meeting at this point.
The Board then discussed what reporting requirements they wished to impose on the EHS as a
condition of extending the Promissory Notes for the Train Depot loans to the EHS. The EHA
Commissioners directed FJD Malinowski to ask the EHS for a proposed budget to completely
finish the depot project (upstairs and downstairs) and a timeline for completion and have these
for presentation at the June EHA Board Meeting. They also directed FJD Malinowski to get a
monthly report from the EHS on where they are on the timeline and budget.

discontinue.
