VI. STAFF REPORTS

FY 24 & 25 Grant Updates

Mr. Palmer provided updates on the two ongoing grant projects, noting that the

preservation plan grant was drawing to a close, and the Benton-Stephens Survey

grant RFP would be advertised in the coming days. He indicated that the final

financial report and reimbursement request would be submitted to the SHPO for

the preservation plan project prior to the end date of September 19th. He

anticipated that the Benton-Stephens RFP would be circulated before the end of

the month as well.

VII. OLD BUSINESS

Preservation Plan Grant Amendment

Mr. Palmer proposed a revision to the preservation plan grant agreement, with

regards to the budget allocations, seeking to shift remaining consultant funds into

the Personnel expense category. The revision will allow the City to submit Mr.

Palmer's staff time devoted to the preservation plan as a grant-related expense,

potentially capturing the remaining funding as a 60% reimbursement of his salary

for those hours. Mr. Palmer noted that he had logged roughly 200 hours, which

would equate to an additional $4,000 reimbursed to the City.

Commissioner Gartner moved to approve the amended budget.

Commissioner Parshall seconded, and the motion passed unanimously by voice

vote.

VIII. NEW BUSINESS

Preservation Plan Review & Work Session

Commissioners used the remaining meeting time to brainstorm ideas to improve

the current draft of the preservation plan. Additional efforts are anticipated at

each monthly meeting to follow, until the Commission is satisfied with the

preservation plan draft and ready to present it to the public for additional

comments.

IX. GENERAL COMMENTS BY PUBLIC, MEMBERS AND STAFF

CoMo Preservation representative, Elena Vega, indicated that their group is

generally happy with the direction of the plan and encouraged by the efforts to

take public comments and make revisions where needed. She then shared a

number of significant points that their group has prioritized for the preservation

plan, and the Commission noted that the bulk of them were being addressed with

the ongoing revision process.

X. NEXT MEETING DATE - Tuesday October 7, 2025 - 5:30 PM
