building because of its historic nature. Dennis said it would be worthwhile to find out exactly
what programs are planned for the building.
Dennis also reported that the Caldwell chapter of the National Guard is looking for a community
project and it has been suggested that they might paint the Depot. They have the equipment
needed and all we have to supply is the paint. The Commission had no objections to the project
and asked Staffto inform the National Guard once project consent was obtained.
Concerning the nomination for the National Register, Dennis reminded the Commission that the
schedule has been restricted and the work will have to be accomplished much sooner than
anticipated .
The date for the Community Workshop is set for April 29 from l:00 to 3:00 p.m. The
commission needs to formally accept Mr. Walters as the consultant. Tom Ensley offered a
Motion to engage Mr. Walters' services to conduct the Community Workshop. Elaine Leppert
seconded the Motion which passed unanimously. Dennis indicated he would contact Mr. Walters
by phone the next day.
Dennis mentioned the proposed list of sponsors, and asked the Commission to add or delete any
names and bring it back to the next meeting to finalize the list- Some names mentioned were
Caldwell Lighting, Intermountain Gas Co., Doors Service Co., Sunrise Garage Door Co., Mr. C's
Carpets, Gary's Carpets etc. It was agreed to keep the list to Caldwell businesses. Dennis said
we might also contact Bob Hibbard, who is active with Snake fuver Valley Building Contractors.
Roy suggested contacting the home remodelers who advertise in the "Idaho Press Tribune" at the
beginning of the classified section.
The draft flyer was discussed. Elaine asked that the Library be identified as the Caldwell Public
Library and its given address is 1010 Dearbom Street. Dennis commented that we would add a
Registration form to the bottom ofthe sheet. Discussion centered on how the workshop is
introduced. Generally, the name ofthe presenter is more prominent than the sponsor. It was
agreed to do another draft.
Dennis asked how we would co-ordinate the workshop with Mr. Walters. Tom suggested asking
Mr. Walters what he thinks. Dennis said that we need to stress the type of audience we want at
this workshop, not only historic home owners but people with older homes.
It was agreed that if there is to be a side "field" trip to a home, we might approach the
homeowners at 1203 Dearbom, who had opened their home for the Christmas tour.
For the physical setup ofthe workshop at the Library, it was agreed that we might have a table in
the hall for business displays.

recirculate it for the next meeting. Elaine Leppert will get copies ofthe slides and Dennis will
take photographs.
