> Hi/ for those of you in locales where the CPA act has been passed.. I am wondering how you deal with the deed restriction/preservation restriction issue when activities such as protection of historical items/archival efforts are involved as opposed to a particular building acquistion or renovation..... Our CPC and Local historic commission are pondering a less onerous Memorandum of Agreement mechanism where such things as  - sale of the items would be prohibited without review..  public access is assured..etc.,   would be addressed.... A deed restriction on the building in which the collection is housed (and from which it could be removed)  seems extreme......... Anyone have any thoughts on this?  thanks. Peg
