The August 6, 1992 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission was called to order
in the City Hall Engineering Conference Room by Chairman Chuck Randolph at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes of the July 9, 1992, meeting were al4noved
The historic consultant, Susan Stacy, gave a slide presentation on the properties surveyed
this year pointing out the evident economic differences between the homes built on
Cleveland and the homes built on Blaine. The choice of site for National Historic Register
nomination was discussed, Mrs. Herda refuses to cooperate on this nomination for 1223
Cleveland. In view of the time frame of the studg and the inability at that time to contact
Mr. Knight at 1304 Cleveland, the Commission agreed to approach the Santiago family at
1802 Clevelan4 which was surveyed previously and found to be eligible for nomination.
Madeline Buckendorf then spoke about the signage for historic properties and areas. She
reported that the Department of Transportation would be responsible for signing state
highways, local roads are the responsibiJity of the party who oversees thern, be it Ciry or
County. She did not foresee any major expense on Caldwell's pan in signing on state
highways, that the DOT would include that in their budget. The process for state highway
signage could take about a year.
The consensus of the Commission was that there need to be signs at the Franklin
intersection regarding the Ward Massacre Site and the Oregon Trail. It was agreed to
discuss at the September meeting exacdy what signage we would like to see and whether
or not it should be pursued. The walking tour will also be on the September agenda.
Dennis Crooks suggested obtaining a budget from Council for sidewalk improvement in
historic districts. Businesses might also be encouraged to cooperate by showing them the
history of their buildings. CBDG grants are available for walking tours.

bring it back to the commission at its September meeting for discussion. The due date for
