The October 12, meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission was called to order in the
Caldwell City Library Idaho Room at 7:00 p.m. The Chairman was delayed and the Vice-Chairman,
Roy Payne, conducted the meeting.
The first item of business was approval of the Minutes of the September 14, 1995 meeting. Elaine
Leppert offered a Motion to approve the Minutes. Bill Gigray seconded the Motion which passed
unanimously.
The next item involved a draft report on the FY95 grant. Staff indicated that the State Historic
Office had previously requested a closing report. Since the Depot nomination is not now going
forward, the report is not required. A report has been prepared and after review by the Historic
Preservation Commission will be presented to City Council for informational purposes.
The Commission discussed lighting the Depot. Staff reported that Town and Country Electric have
purchased the fixtures and will install them within the next several weeks. Bill Gigray suggested
contacting the contractor to see if they could be installed before November 17 when the Townsite
Committee are proposing to inaugurate Christmas Lights.
The next item involved the FY96 grant project. City Council had approved the proposal and the
State Historic Preservation Office had given verbal approval. The SHPO will send written
confirmation. The Commission discussed potential dates to tour the area for site selection and asked
Staff to investigate whether Saturday, November 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. will be suitable and
whether we may again borrow the Canyon County on Aging vehicle.
Bill Gigray reported on the Townsite Committee's use of the Depot as its office. As a result of the
use of the building, the Townsite Committee met with the insurers, who consider that in the best
interest of the City, there should be a Resolution adopting a use policy and a License Agreement
holding those using the building liable for anything which might affect the building. The Townsite
Committee approved the draft Resolution and License Agreement and submitted it to the Historic

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
