LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Work Session
September 21, 1994
Council Liaison: Gerry Horak
Staff Liaison: Joe Frank
SUMMARY OF MEETING: The Commission discussed the 1995 Recommended
Budget and funding needs for the Historic Preservation work program.
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL:
Commission Chairman Jennifer Carpenter called the meeting to order at 5:40 pm, 281 North
College Avenue. Commission members Jennifer Carpenter, Per Hogestad, and Jean Kullman
were present. Bud Frick and Ruth Weatherford had called earlier and were ill and would not
attend the meeting. Joe Frank represented staff.
GUESTS: Rheba Massey, Local History Coordinator at the Public Library
AGENDA REVIEW: There were no changes to the agenda.
STAFF REPORT: Mr. Frank announced that CSU wanted to replace the gutters on the Power
Plant. Mr. Frank gave a description of the change. The LPC believed the request was a
"repair" rather than an alteration and suggested that Staff approve it administratively without
LPC review. They suggested that Staff review final drawings of the gutter to be sure it is a
"repair".
COMMISSION MEMBERS REPORTS: Ms. Carpenter said she had talked to a fireman that
had been involved in the fire in the Avery Block. He had indicated that it could have easily
been a disaster. The fire had spread very quickly and had gotten into the attic.
Joe distributed a letter from Ms. Pahl of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She was
responding to our request for assistance for forming a PART for the Harmony Corridor. Ms.
Massey noted that Colorado Preservation Inc (CPI), a nonprofit historic preservation
organization, was interested in helping out. Ms. Massey had sent a letter to the President of
CPI. The CPI Board of Directors was meeting this weekend and would talk about the project.
The Commission discussed that the project could be a partnership between CPI who would
coordinate the process, Historic Fort Collins Development Corporation who could put together
base information and arrange appointments and participants, and the City of Fort Collins who
could provide the dollar match to CPI and attend meetings. Further discussion needed to take
place if CPI accepted the offer.

Mr. Frank reviewed information about the 1995 Recommended Budget. He indicated there was
no additional funding in the Budget for Historic Preservation. He indicated that the Planning
Department had requested $58,000 (continuing funding) for 1995 but it had not made it into the
Recommended Budget. He indicated that it was the CPES's number one unfunded priority. He
indicated that the Budget request was similar to the request in the letter from the LPC to the City
Council last Spring.
The Commission talked about the resource issue and the success of the program over the past
few years. The Commission decided to approach the City Council at their October 4 hearing
on the budget and support the Planning Department's unfunded request.
The Commission asked Staff to prepare a "fact sheet" on the Budget request including some
performance indicators such as grant monies received, landmark designations, etc., and mail it
to the LPC members. Ms. Carpenter would make the presentation to the City Council. All
Commission members were expected to attend the Budget hearing on October 4.
The LPC members also discussed getting information out to other interested persons and groups
who might be supportive of more resources for the Program. It was decided that if members
would like to do this, that it would be done individually, rather than as a Commission. Ms.
Carpenter agreed to contact City Council members, Steve Burkett and Greg Byrne individually
about the Budget.
Jean Kullman said she would contact Carl McWilliams to update him on what occurred at this
work session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
