Representatives from Senior Citizens - Carl Huer, Katherine
Chichenoff, Maurice Paige, and Francis Coles. Lucy

The committee decided that a medallion contest representing
the Bicentennial Year would be done and the Senior
Citizens were asked to organize the contest for the Kodiak
Island Borough. Possible deadline for this contest
would be July 4, 1975. It was decided that the committee
would send for the Anchorage rules for consideration
and possible use. The Senior Citizens will consider
this proposal at their next meeting and will let the
Bicentennial Committee know of their results.
Mr. Lincoln suggested that the Senior Citizens might
want to develop their own also. Suggested projects
were an historical quilt and/or above ground archeology.
The committee wanted to know the status of the "meeting
house"? Federal funds for meeting house are dormant.
Mrs. McIver reported that the City has allocated $18,500
to match Parks and Recreation grant to make structural repairs
on the Museum. Next problem is availing ourselves of
remaining three lots around Baranof House (appraised at
$67,000) Kodiak must come up with like amount for
development of the area. It was noted that Ed Naughton
is working on the Legislature for $15,000 for fire-
proofing the Museum.
Mr. Lincoln suggested cooperating with the Russian Church,
which wants Archives as depository for historic papers
now in Washington Archives, Library Congress and make
application to Legislature asking them to fulfill their
committment when they named Kodiak the "meeting house"
City.
Mr. Lincoln suggested a meeting with Father Kreta and
Russian Church Archives Committee, Historical Society
and the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough, to
decide the problem.
