Ms. Contiguglia and Mr. Pechota discussed possible funding for the restoration. Mr. McKay and Mr. Pechota discussed where there would be space to display all the portraits. Mr. McNulty noted that the portraits have value but they are an odd assortment of sizes. He suggested that some of them could potentially be located at the Governor's Mansion. Mr. McNulty added that the Governor's Office should be involved in a funding discussion.

Mr. Pechota noted that two portraits are not of Governors.
