Commission members reviewed County GIS capabilities and discussed possibilities for marking historic properties in a public-facing way. The minutes state the County GIS "has a lot of layers to its system" and members discussed including prior ownership and genealogy as historical background for residents while ensuring owners' right to quiet enjoyment was respected.
