Heritage Preservation Commission
Minutes - 12/2/87
B. Heritage Resource Inventory
The Commission discussed the process for adopting the
inventory that was suggested by the City Attorney the
previous evening at the Joint meeting of the Heritage and
Planning Commissions, i.e. that the the Heritage
Commission be the body to adopt the inventory by
resolution, then forward copies of the material to the
City Council, Planning Commission and Planning staff.
Commissioner Cameron expressed concern that the City
Council should be the body to adopt it, on a
recommendation by the HPC, to give it status as the
official inventory of the City. There was discussion on
how and when to notify property owners that they are on
the list; no decision was made on this issue, and it was
held over for further discussion at a later date.
The Commission then worked on the inventory list, making
additions and corrections. Commissioners that had
completed the inventory forms for properties that were
assigned at the last meeting gave them to the Secretary.
It was decided that all the forms that had been completed
on the word processor would be finalized at the next
meeting. The Commission set a goal of having the
inventory finished by Februry or March of next year.
III. Items Initiated by the Commission
Chairman Held asked that the subject of the State Historic
Building Code be placed on the next agenda for discussion.
IV. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m. The next regular
meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 16, 1987 at 3:00
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
