REMAINING PLAQUES FOR FY06-07: The Commissioners reviewed the list established in January of last year and prioritizing the sites for future plaques. Commissioner Christiansen commented that he would like to see a plaque for the Barrio Museum moved to the top of the list as the next site for a plaque. There was also discussion of the Red Apple Inn and the Army Navy Academy and whether it was one or two plaques. By proper motion, stipulating that if the monies were available in the budget, the Commissioners voted unanimously to purchase plaques for the Barrio Museum and the Red Apple Inn. There was some discussion of the accuracy of the text in the walking tour brochure and Commissioner Hinman volunteered to confirm with Connie Trejo and Offie Escobido for the Barrio Museum.
