the curbing could be eliminated if appropriate wheel
stops were provided .

appear to be one color and that the trim should be a

different shade of the same color as the structure.

Butler. Director Community Improvement, Doug Randolf , City

Doug Randolph. Grants Administrator made a brief
presentation of the grants which are available and gave
the Board a handout with information on same. His
suggestion was that we forgo Federal dollars in favor
of State grants which are easier to qualify for and
receive. The Board agreed with this suggestion and
scheduled a discussion at the December 8 meeting to
give them time to review the handout and decide upon
areas in which they should pursue grants .
At this point . the Board returned to Item #6 and took the actions
noted above.
9. Review plans for Historic Five Sites Marker .
Dave Martin was not present , therefore this item was
continued .

11 . Discussion of Annual Preservation Awards program.
The Board determined that the awards should be
presented either in January at the annual Historic
Conference or in May during preservation week . Further
discussion slated for December 8th meeting .
12. Discussion of appropriate appearance on streets that face
local historic district boundaries .
Alice Finst asked if there was not a way in which the
Historic Preservation Board could control development
and aesthetics on structures across the street from
the historic districts. Mr. Weedon indicated that the
only sure way was to incorporate the area into the
historic district such that the district lines ran
through the middle of a block instead of a street. In
lieu thereof the Board could lobby the Community
Appearance Board for better consideration of
structures adjacent to historic districts .
13 . Approval of Minutes : August 18. 1989 Regular Meeting

The Board was informed that the bids received exceeded
the budgeted amount and that there were three options
available:

2. Accept the bids, schedule a presentation by
both companies and attempt to negotiate a
price at the budgeted amount, or

additional fundin❑ .

meeting and asked staff to schedule presentations by
the applicants at that time.

the City Manager to appoint a Board Secretary and staff
should not be forced into trying to follow business as
well as keep detailed notes .

of the City Attorney ' s office from their meetings and
