Ordinance 2008-03 for historical preservation and designation of local landmarks was passed with the intent that the city identify, preserve, protect and enhance historic buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts lying within the city limits of the city. The mayor and the city historian may designate local historical items, sites and landmarks. The ordinance ratifies sites already designated. The only site in that category is the old ice cream building at the former Ekins Dairy. The ordinance is based on information Carolyn Deru put together previously, Mr. Morris changed the original version to apply only if the property owner supported the historical designation. The ordinance was approved at the March 2008 meeting. Two RAMP grants were allocated to the city. One is for $5,000.00, based upon population.
