Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Nlinutes November 19, 2013 Page 9 of 11 Mark Zaremba stated the purpose for the tax is to preserve the buildings, but it is "dumb" to landmark without knowing what you are going to get when you landmark. He is interested in preserving his structure but would like to know what he is getting into and what he would be getting if he landmarked. He believes the incentive resolution addresses these issues. Koertje does not believe "preliminary" is a good word, it should be changed. He believes paragraph D does not make sense and he will not be voting for it as written. He believes paragraph E makes sense and he agrees with it as written. Stewart inquired whether Ballot 2A allows for surveying and engineering as a cost. Koertje stated it does but they are part of the incentive program. La Grave inquired whether the survey constitutes an incentive. He added he would like to see Section 2E re- worked so that the request for a building assessment is reviewed by the commission and not released at subcommittee. Haley stated she believed a full commission meeting should be done as well. La Grave made a motion to continue the resolution for staff to rework Section 2E for the desire to have a building assessment be approved by the commission instead of a subcommittee. Stewart asked if he would remove the word "continue" and allow the modified resolution to go forward to City Council. Watson asked if they could restrict the process to commercial and not residential. Stewart recommended keeping it for both requests. Koetrje agreed. Motion approved 5 to 1 by voice vote.

Committee Reports — Preservation Master Plan /CLG grant application Robinson stated staff submitted for a CLG grant and staff will keep you posted. Historical Commission Liaison Stewart asked this to be tabled until next meeting.
