Old Business National Preservation and Arkansas Heritaae Month 2011 Commissioner Dowling, Vice -Chair, discussed the status of the awards program and recommended not naming the awards, as the Historic District Commission (HDC) has not been able to obtain family/organization approval to associate each award category with a specific name. Dara Sanders, Current Planner, recommended revising the title of the "Cyrus Sutherland Award". Commissioners discussed further the ongoing process of trying to obtain family approval. Sanders presented the interested Selection Committee participants' experience and information and made a recommendation based on the information submitted by each volunteer. Commissioners discussed the pros and cons of expanding the number of Selection Committee members in order to accommodate the large number of interested participants and decided to maintain the original HDC decision to limit the Selection Committee to five members.
