Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Nlinutes <br />November 19, 2013 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />La Grave stated the true question is to use State funding which would require us to listen to <br />them or use our local funding and do what we want. He inquired where Council stands on this. <br />Koertje stated you can't fix asbestos, correct. <br />Crissler said you are correct but you can buy replicas. The problem with asbestos shingles is <br />they last a very long time. She stated the State said the broken asbestos shingles can be <br />replaced by replicas. <br />Koertje asked if they are a safety hazard. <br />Crissler said they have minimal safety issues unless they are being removed and broken. <br />La Grave inquired if the primary issue is finding a period of significance. <br />Crissler stated it is but there needs to be an adequate amount of documentation for the chosen <br />period of significance.

He recommended the consultant work with staff to justify what a <br />period of significance might be and how it would match the Secretary of Interior standards.

She gave the following statements: <br />
