Johnson Margaret Webber Colleen Cassell The meeting was called to order by Ross Loomis, Chairman. The new Cultural Resources Board member, Colleen Cassell, who replaces Chuck Hagemeister on July 1, 1978, was introduced to the Board. 1. Item 3b, Women's Symphony Guild request, was added to the agenda. 2. The minutes of the previous meeting of May 24, were approved as written. 3. Lincoln Community Center Concessionaire_ Discussion, with applicants Johr John McGraw presented an update on the concessionaire license: The Cultural Resources Board recommendation as to the applicants will be sent to City Council, which will make a decision on that recommendation at the next City Council meeting (July 3). The City Council work session of June 27 on our request for an interim special events license went well. City Council felt comfortable with that request. Mr. McGraw then outlined the time schedule for implementing the liquor license for Lincoln Community Center (see attached). Mr. McGraw then addressed the concessionaire applicants, John Stouffer and Douglas E. Johnson, as to why both had applied separately (both are J.C.'s). Mr. Stouffer presented his and Mr. Johnson's reasons for both applying for the license at the same time: Mr. Stouffer's application was a back-up application for Mr. Johnson's in case a profit -making individual is required (John Stouffer owns a bar) and Mr. Johnson's (representing the J. C.'s) is a back-up to Mr. Stouffer's in case a non-profit making group is required. Discussion then centered around the liquor licensing law and the appropriateness to the law of the 2 applications in question. Mr. Stouffer stated that he would like to incorporate. Mrs. Thexton stated that a liquor license involving the performing arts area is where we are highly regulated, not in the area of groups meeting in the Ludlow Rooms and in Lincoln Community Center. After further discussion, the general consensus of the Board was that it would like to recommend both Mr. Stouffer and Mr. Johnson as the combined/dual concessionaire. Mr. McGraw subsequently made a phone call to Lucia Liley, Assistant City Attorney, who recommended that Mr. Johnson be the applicant for the J.C.'s, a Page 1 Page 2 CRB Meeting Minutes, June 28, 1978 non-profit organization, and that Mr. Stouffer be considered the manager of the concession, which would fulfill the requirement of experience. Martha Trimble then moved that: "The Cultural Resources Board recommends that the J. C.'s, with John Stouffer as manager, be awarded the Lincoln Community Center Food and Liquor concession, if the attendant legal and managerial matters can be worked out satisfactorily." Jack Curfman seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes: Unanimous 3b. Women's Symphony Guild Request. Margaret Webber, of the Women's Symphony Guild, requested that the Lincoln Community Center Guild be given another name because the Women's Symphony Guild already uses the word "guild" and is also associated with Lincoln Community Center. Mr. Loomis expressed the consensus of the Board on this issue: The CRB will discuss the request among themselves and with the executive committee of the LCC Guild and a recommendation will emerge within one month. In the meantime, the full name of Lincoln Community Center Guild will be used. Mr. Loomis emphasized that the Board can only recommend to City Council on the issue, not make the decision. 4. Action on Avery House Parkinq Lot Jack Curfman presented a diagram of his concept of a parking lot for Avery House. Discussion then followed. Mrs, Thexton stated that the local historical society diapproved of a parking lot but that the State Historical Society is the organization which has the authority to approve or disapprove of the parking lot. The Office of Cultural Affairs and the CRB will go ahead and ask for that approval. The question here tonight is: Will Poudre Landmarks Foundation approve of the parking lot as presented tonight? John Power (of Poudre Landmarks Foundation) stated that his group will visit with officials at the State Historical Society soon, taking along its con- tract with the City of Fort Collins and the parking lot recommendation, in order to finalize its project. "The parking lot recommendation may generate support from the State Historical Society because it solves a problem." Mr. Loomis addressed Mr. Power: "We would like to put you on the agenda next month in order to be kept informed." Mr. Curfman was complimented for his parking lot design. 5. Discussion of property at 202 Remington.' Mr. Loomis read Mr. Van Lear's request for skylights on the house at 202 Remington. He stated that Michael Quinn, of the State Historical Society, felt that that request was satisfactory. "We need to take formal action on that request and forward our recommendation to the State Historical Society." Pauline Birky/Kreutzer then made the motion: "I move that we approve of Mr. Van Lear's request to install skylights on the 3rd floor, south side, of his property at 202 Remington, with the proviso that we review the alterations upon completion of the work." Jack Curfman seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes: Unanimous. Mrs. Thexton: "Let's ask for pictures." Mr. Loomis: "Let's ask for a formal letter on this from Mr. Van Lear."

Jack Oliver then presented to the Board the concept of Midtown as an historical area. "There is concern as to what will happen to the area. The consensus of the Midtown merchants is that they want to take care of and preserve the history of the area." Mrs. Thexton then stated that Laurie Ware's research on the William Stover House ("The Point") is done and that its recommendation for historic designation will be sent to City Council for approval as soon as the Board is ready to send it. 7. Standing Reports a. LCC Guild: Frank Johnson read the minutes of the LCC Executive Committee Guild and made a report on the first general LCC Guild breakfast meeting. The sale of auditorium seats was the project agreed upon to be undertaken by the Guild. b. Museum: Brian Moroney reported that 80 people attended the Hopi Silversmith program, 84 the American West programs. Also, there has been an increase in out-of-town drop -in visitors. 150, mostly out-of-town people, viewed the Ethnic Folkwear Exhibit last Thursday morning. "The Folsom points are on display now. In July, with Jack Curfman's help, we will work on a permanent exhibit for these points. Mr. Moroney gave a report on Marilyn Wood's project of Oral History through Puppets. He then stated that he wants to explore the possibilities of grants for further projects. Finally, "The guarantee on the building ends at the end of July; we are listing things as we go along that need attention." 8. Survey of Board Budgetary needs for 1978-79. Frank Johnson stated that the CRB needs a part-time secretary. John McGraw commented that any increase of staff due to increased population and demand by the public causes apprehension. We have to ask: Where are the greatest demands, where are the.priorities, which services will we need to give up? Community Services staff will make its recommendations in these areas to the City Manager, who will then make recommendations to City Council. #'s 9 and 10 on the agenda were deferred until a later time. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, P C /r �G�Lhti2J 611/6 1616f C� Edwina Echevarria Secretary to Office of Cultural Affairs
