Mr. Simmons informed the Board that the grant is between the State and the City, therefore the City should take an active part in the operation of selection and administration of the contract. To comply with the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act, the City would have to follow that procedure in this particular case. The procedure includes having a committee of 2 or 3 to review the proposals and interview the consultants. After the selection has been made and contract negotiated the contract will have to be sent to the State for review and approval before it is awarded. Mr. Simmons informed the Board that he would be happy to serve on the committee and suggested one or two members of the Board serve also. The following were appointed: Ron Fiorelli, Jerry Mills, Bill Simmons. Mr. Simmons stated he would see if any of the Commissioners were interested in serving on this committee.

Mr. Conklin took photographs of the 30 buildings and forwarded them to her. HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING, con't. Page 3 A discussion was held regarding having a Public Hearing for the proposed National Register District. The consensus of the Board was since it was not required to have the Public Hearing that there should not be one. Mr. Moore reported on the Plaque,. Signage and Walking Tour Committee. He informed the Board that a purchase order was issued for the plaques. This gives the Board the authority to buy the plaques and pay for the line drawings and the photographs. This also obligates the funds so that they will be carried over into the next budget. Mr. Moore showed the Board two of the seven line drawings. The Board approved of the line drawings. Once all of the line drawings are completed they will be submitted for the plaques. Mr. Conklin stated he had spoken with the City Manager regarding the litter in the downtown area. He stated that the City Manager was cooperative and receptive about the problem. The City Manager informed Mr. Conklin that he would give instruction that more time be spent trying to get it clean. Mr. Conklin further stated that he spoke with the City Manager regarding the Board meeting in another place. The City Manager stated he could make the Commission Chambers available. The reason the Board is unable to meet in the City Manager's Conference Room is security. The only way that the Board could meet upstairs is for the City to hire additional security. Mr. Faison would need to take such a request to the City Commission. The City Manager indicated he would not recommend this. Other alternative meeting places are the Chamber of Commerce and the Cultural Arts Building. Mr. Mills notified the Board that Monday, September 18, 1989, at 4:00 P.M. there would be a City Commission Workshop to discuss the Enabling Ordinance requiring at least 2 members of the Board be other than citizens or people that have a business in the downtown area.

Mr. Mills suggested that the following be recommended for the Board: Bob Hambrick, Briendley Piters, Storm Richards.
