The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Cal Conklin at
4:45 P.M.
Monte Olinger moved to approve the minutes of August 9, 1990, and
August 20, 1990. Seconded by Don Moore and carried by unanimous
vote.
A discussion was held regarding the Design Guidelines. Mr. Conklin
suggested separating the discussion into two separate issues. The
first issue would be the final action of approval or rejection of
the guidelines and the second issue would be implementing the
guidelines.
Mr. Yeilding informed the Board that as part of the contract he was
required to. provide photographically documentation of certain
buildings used in the Design Guidelines. He presented Ms. Davis
with said photographs, negatives and a complete copy of the Design
Guidelines. Mr Yeilding recommended that the Board submit the
guidelines to the City Commission for official adoption into the
Downtown Historic Commercial District Ordinance. He stated he felt
such adoption was Tallahassee's intent when the grant was approved.
This would allow the guidelines to be used to review and judge
appropriateness of the new construction in the Historic District
instead of using it as an information package. Mr. Conklin stated
that was the second issue of the discussion and he would like for
the Board to think about it and discuss in detail at a later date.
Mr. Olinger recommended the Board inform Yeilding and Provost of
the happenings of the Guidelines.

Mr. Welch suggested compiling a preservation plan which would set
a series of goals identifying issues for the Board to accomplish.
Mr. Conklin asked Mr. Yeilding if he had anything further to
present regarding the guidelines before consideration of approval.
Mr. Yeilding stated he had nothing specifically. Mr. Simmons
reported he had read over the last document and informed Mr.
Yeilding of the typos. He felt once Yeilding and Provost gave the
Board a final smooth copy of the document without typos they would
have met the spirit of the contract in terms of delivering the
document. He further reported there were two different elements,
one being the completion of the contract which is required in order
to get the grant reimbursement details handled and the second being
the Board's objectives as far as adopting and implementing the
guidelines. Mr. Simmons informed the Board in order to meet the
requirement of the grant that the Public Governing Body be - advised
of the product of the grant contract he provided a copy of the
guidelines to the City Commission for information. He also
provided the news media which was another condition. He received
from the Department of State a formally written extension of the
deadline to complete the contract from June 30 until September 30.
Mr. Simmons requested Yeilding and Provost convert the guidelines
to WordPerfect format.
Mr. Welch moved to accept the document and authorize payment to the
contractor on the contingent that Mr. Simmons and Mr. Yeilding work
together to obtain a smooth copy. Seconded by Joe Forbes and
carried by unanimous vote.
Mr. Simmons stated if anyone else would like to assist him in
review of the guidelines he would certainly appreciate it. Mr.
Welch and Mr. Moore commented they had a few corrections.
Mr. Conklin updated the Board on the Georgetown Community
Association's efforts to lease the Hopper Academy Site. The
Association is asking for the Board's support. Mr. Conklin
informed the Board he had spoken with Charles Rowe, City Community
Development Officer regarding the situation and he was cooperative
and supportive.
Mr. Conklin reported that the St. James AME Church received the
grant. He apprised the Board of their interest in obtaining a
plaque for the building. He stated they had invited him to a
dinner at Quincy's in appreciation of the Board's support. He
would not be able to attend and asked the Board if any other member
would like to attend.
A discussion was held regarding the Seminole County Historical
Society program. Various "Historical" groups in the County are
gathering to give presentations on their activities, goals and
accomplishments. Mr. Conklin suggested the Board participate in
this gathering.
