by the Chairman, Tom Ensley. Present were: tlathelle Gt€s, Chuck Rando1Dh,

Minutes from the September 7, 1989 meeting were distributed.
Teri Brandt discussed the conrm:nity's acquisition of the historic train depot
from Union Pacific Railroad. Aspects of the agreement were highlighted, such
as the installation of fencing, retention of facility use approval by Union
Pacific and al-so potential liability issues. Involvement by Historical Preser-
vation Conmission in the use of the depot facility was encouraged.
Sylvia Robison and Tom Ensley reviewed the grant applicat.ion for phase 2 of Lhe
Historical Survey. A very favorable response to the City's application was
received from the Idaho State Historical Society. However, there were some
constructive suggestions and reconunendations contained within the response.
Key items included: an acceptable research design submitted to the State
Historical Society by December 3t, 1989, consideration of walking tours as a
separate project,, excluslon of the Co1-lege of Idaho from the historical survey
because of repetition and consideration of limiting historical survey sites to
a more manageable number.
Teri Brandt indicated that the Decenrber 31st deadline was not a problem and that
she would fo1lor4r up on that item. Ttre Cornmissioners agreed that inclusion of the
College of Idaho in the survey would be a repetitive effort, since survey work
had already been completed for the campus. The survey area bor:ndary was refined
and divided into guadrants. Teams were assigned to survey sites within each
quadrant and to provide results of Lheir findings for the forthcoming December
7th meeting.
1. Norttrwest Quadrant - Tom and Dennis
2. Northeast Quadrant - Arthur
3. Southwest Quadrant - Teri and Nathelle
4. Southeast Quadrant - Sylvia and Chuck
