Minutes from the December 7, 1989 meeting were distributed. Chairman Tom Ensley opened the meeting by welcoming Council representative Bob Jarboe to the Nistoric Preservation Commission and provided Councilman Jarboe with a summary of the Commission's current work tasks and objectives. Chairman Ensley then provided an overview of the listed agenda items and reminded the Commission of the precise time frame agreed upon to accomplish the historical survey. Of immediate concern was the � need to refine and update the request for proposal and bid solicitation documents. Dennis Crooks was asked to prepare a draft updated request for proposal and supplementary bid documents which in turn would be presented to the State Historic Preservation Office for their review and approval. The next item on the agenda was the election of officers. Chuck Randolph, by unanimous vote, was elected Chairman. It was also recommended that Dennis Crooks be appointed as secretary to the Historical Comtnission. Dennis was directed to forward that recommendation to the Mayor for confirmation. Next on the agenda was the refinement of the volunteer survey. There was discussion about the final 25 candidates, concerning some possible inadequacies in the volunteer survey. It was the general consensus of the Commission that more thought and perhaps a more refined criteria should be considered in selectinq the final 25 survey sites. Also, there was a general sense of frustration that many sites of significance had been left off the list. Ultimately, it was agreed that there was not an immediate urgency to tinalize the survey list at this time. Further, it was recommended that the Commi9sion arrange for a group survey and field trip of the entire �urvey area. Additional di�cus�ion followed on the development of bid documents for consultants. An updated list of consultants was to be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office. Dennis Crooks agreed to make contact with the Office and obtain an updated list. There was also some di�cussion at thi� time concerning the ultimate goals and objectives of the historic � survey. Chairman Rendolph identified the need to further publicize the historic survey data and to somehow make direct contact with residente and property owners of the specific survey 1 • " ("`� � ''• : � !' �� f'� `�.: �'� ,� � 9ite9. It ia hopeful that thia expanded knowledge and awareness will serve as an incentive to preserve the historic character and quality of architecture present on these sites. The next item on the agenda was the question of the commission membership vacancies. A brief discu�sion and overview of the Commission by-laws was given by Tom Ensley and Chairman Randolph and the need� to maintain a representative makeup on the Commission. It was agreed that someone with a legal background would be beneficial to the group. Atter further discussion, it was agreed that Chairman Randolph would contact Bill Gigray and Sylvia Robison to see if they were interested in serving on the Commission. If interested, Dennis Crooks will, in turn, contact the Mayor to confirm these appointments. A general discussion period followed. Chairman Randolph indicated a'concern with respect to duplication of historical site survey work with other community members and groups and recommended contact and cooperative interaction with other sources of h°istorical information. Additionally, concerns regarding the need to refine and narrow site selection criteria were reiterated. Certain properties were identified that may warrant additional consideration as historic site candidates and included Washinqton School and the Simplot Apartments. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. to Thursday, Eebruary lst, 1990. Respectfully submitted, < Dennis Crooks Planning and Zoning Director DC/slm 2
