First item of business was a report to Commission members on thestatus of the grant. Tom stated that the boundaries of the grantarea have been scaled back from the original city-wide plan to asection of town north of the railroad tricks, soulherfy of CanyonHi11r and lying generally between the Boise River and 2rst lvenueand west.erly of N. rllinois Avenue. This was done because theState Historic Preservation Office recommended a better-definedproject- Since the oldest section of town is around the railroadtracksr this seemed like a good st,arting place and is the areawhere the Historic commission teams have done the mostpreriminary work (that can be located). The grant can be used tocomplete this first phase of the inventory of historic propertiesin cardwerr and another grant or grants may be "orgnt insubsequent years to include other sections of town.

There was some discussion about acquiring some of the old-style
street lights for the downtown area. The City Engineer has
indicated a mold could be fabricated by a local industrial metal
firm and we might be able to make similar lights to fit in with
streetscape plans. It $ras suggested that local service clubs
and individuals might be willing to purchase a street light andfinance its placement in the downtown.
