                             A RESOLUTION 
 
  1- 1  Creating the Joint Study Committee on the Stewardship Policy 
  1- 2  of the Old Governor's Mansion; and for other purposes. 
 
  1- 3  WHEREAS, the Joint Study Committee on Historic Preservation 
  1- 4  conducted a review of policies and procedures that were 
  1- 5  impacting Georgia's many historic buildings; and 
 
  1- 6  WHEREAS, the goals of that committee were to study 
  1- 7  preservation as an economic development tool and as a tool 
  1- 8  for community revitalization; to study the development of 
  1- 9  preservation programs and services and the accessibility of 
  1-10  such programs and services to public agencies, nonprofit 
  1-11  corporations, and local citizens; and to study the impact of 
  1-12  community planning and visionary leadership on historic 
  1-13  preservation; and 
 
  1-14  WHEREAS, the State Agency Historic Property Stewardship 
  1-15  Program was implemented in response to that committee's 
  1-16  creation of standards for the preservation and stewardship 
  1-17  of state owned historic buildings; and 
 
  1-18  WHEREAS, that committee monitored the Old Governor's Mansion 
  1-19  in Milledgeville as part of its state-wide focus.  The

  1-22  designated a National Historic Landmark.  On October 31, 
  1-23  1997, the mansion was designated as a Georgia Landmark 
  1-24  Museum, and on September 2, 1998, the United States 
  1-25  Department of the Interior named the Old Governor's Mansion 
  1-26  as "at risk" because of the serious deterioration; and 
 
  1-27  WHEREAS, in order to preserve this unique landmark for the 
  1-28  enjoyment of future generations, the stewardship policy of 
  1-29  the Old Governor's Mansion should be studied.

  1-31  GEORGIA that there is created the Joint Study Committee on
