Absent: Carol Burbank, Elaine Leppert. Staff: Dennis Crooks, Liz Yeary The January 7, 1993 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission was called to order in the City Hall Conference Room by Chairman pro tem Tom Ensley at 7:00 p.m. The first order of business was approval of the Minutes of the December 3, 1992, meeting. Madeline Buckendorf informed the Commission that Don Watts had verbally complimented the Commission on the process of the December 3 meeting. Commissioner Buckendorf then offered a motion to approve the Minutes of that meeting, which was seconded by Steve Maughan and passed unanimously. There followed discussion concerning the date of Commission meetings and it was subsequently agreed to move the regular Commission meeting date from the first Thursday to the fourth Thursday of each month. This change was needed due to a conflict with the Library Board Meeting and the backup meeting date for the Planning and Zoning Commission. A public meeting has already been scheduled for February 4 to accommodate a telephone conference with a representative from Pocatello to address Pocatello's experience with historic districts and design review. A motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously to move the regular meeting to the fourth Thursday beginning in March. Dennis Crooks reported on the reappointment of Tom Ensley and the new appointments of Elaine Leppert, Steven Maughan and Vivian McKay to the Commission. The next item on the agenda was the formal organization of the Commission. It was moved by Steve Maughan and seconded by Vivian McKay to appoint Madeline Buckendorf as Chair, Tom Ensley as Vice Chair and Liz Yeary as Secretary. Following this, Dennis gave the time frame for the grant process for the Walking Tour. The Commission had received a copy of the letter from the State Historic Preservarion Office regarding this. He emphasized that it is the task of the Comrnission to select the MINUTES - HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION January 7, 1993 - P.1 . � • � sites for the tour and not leave this to the consultant. The Request for Proposal (RFP) has to be drafted and sent to SHPO for their review and approval. Subsequently, they are sent to prospective consultants for response. The list of proposed sites has to be included on the RFP. The Commission should have the sites ready by the end of January if at all possible for inclusion within the RFP. Bill Gigray felt strongly that the site of the Steunenberg assassination should be included in the brochure and possibly the site of the home of Joe Albertson during his student years. Dennis Crooks reminded Commissioners that we should seek the permission of the College before including those buildings on the brochure. Steve indicated that he did not feel this was necessary and that the College would be happy to receive the additional publicity. The sites tentatively chosen were discussed and identified as follows: 1. 2112 Cleveland Carrie Adell Strahorn Memorial Library 2. 2112 Cleveland Sterry Hall 3. 2112 Cleveland Blatchley Hal 4. Cleveland InterUrban Line Site 5. 1802 Cleveland F.F. & Mary Beale 6. 1724 Cleveland Charles & Delia Calkins 7. 1617 Cleveland David Dorsey 8. 1615 Cleveland William & Edith Redway 9. 1602 Cleveland Baldwin & Helen Brown 10. 1304 Cleveland Grover and Mary Knight 11. 1101 Cleveland Carnegie Library 12. 1424 Dearborn Glen & Ruth Evans 13. 1522 Dearborn Theodore & Minerva Walters 14. 1601 Dearborn Stowell & Mary Dudley 15. 1602 Dearborn John & Sarah Pemberton 16.

The meeting will be conducted in the City Council Conference Room. The Secretary will contact US West to ascertain whether a speaker phone system can be organized. The Commission would like to have handouts available from Pocatello beforehand. Coffee and punch will be served. Mr. Gigray emphasized that the merchants have to have ownership of the proposal or it will not work. MINUTES - HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION January 7, 1993 - P.2 �` � . � The next item on the agenda was a proposal to meet with Larry Jones, Historian, Idaho State Historical Sociery, prior to his Topical Tour presentation at Caldwell Library on March 1 and 2. It was agreed that the Commission would help to organize a dinner at 6:00 p.m. possibly at the Acapulco Restaurant if it is available. The purpose of this dinner meeting is for City and Fair Board Representatives, along with the Historic Preservation Commission to meet with Larry Jones, to discuss arrangements for the Oregon Trail Wagon Train which is due to be in Caldwell July 26 and 27. The Ciry and the Fair Board will be co-sponsoring a barbecue and related events at Gabiola Field, where the Wagon Train will be staying on those two days. Madeline then spoke about the Idaho Humanities Council grant for which the deadline for applications is May 15, 1993. She is putting together a proposal for an Oregon Trail driving/education tour to submit and will be meeting with Chuck Randolph, Dennis Crooks and other interested parties to discuss this. Madeline is also attempting to arrange for Dr. Sandra Schackel, History Professor, Boise State University, to give a presentation on Women's Diaries on the Oregon Trail during Women's History Month in March. The date originally agreed on, March 18, is in conflict with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Steve Maughan raised the question of links with the College, seeing the College as a resource for the community, expressing a possibility for a subcommittee to work with the college on establishing working communication. Bill Gigray felt that the new Caldwell Foundation for Education would be able to help in this regard. With no further business the meeting concluded at 9.45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, � r � Liz Yeary, Secretary Madeline Buckendorf, Chair MINUTES - HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION January 7, 1993 - P.3
