Moving expense and site location would have to be considered. Budget: No budget was approved for the Heritage Preservation Commission. The Commission should submit proposed appropriations based on need now to the Finance Director who is working on the 1993 budget. What powers does the Commission have: The ordinance establishing the commission is specific as to what powers they have. Sherburne understood they are a recommending body to the City Council.
