Barbara Wilson made the motion to approve the COA as amended, seconded by Claudia Hunt. Motion carried 5 -0. (1) Consideration of and action on awarding a canopy grant for this project. The grant would help with the cost of installation and the cutting down of the canopies. Motion was made to approve by Sue Lancaster, seconded by Claudia Hunt. Motion carried 5 -0. Motion was made by Becki Norment, seconded by Barbara Wilson for Jerry Raper to return to the meeting. Motion carried 5 -0. 4. Consideration of and action on declaring the sky sign located at 115 S. Main Street as a historically significant sign. Arvin Starrett stated that the sky sign is allowed under the current ordinance. Although the sign structure is historic, the verbage on the sign is not because it has been changed. If the sign is declared historic, then the verbage would be included as part of that declaration and it would have to go before the City Council for approval as historic. It would also negate a vote on the Certificate of Appropriateness until the Council could act, meaning the verbage could not be removed from the sign face. Motion was made to recuse Becki Norment by Barbara Wilson, seconded by Sue Lancaster. Motion carried 5 -0. Because of the verbage, Chairman Starrett called for a motion that the sign is not a historic sign so that the current verbage could be altered. Motion was made by Barbara Wilson, seconded by Jerry Raper. Motion carried 5 -0. 5. Consideration of and action on the following Certificate of Appropriateness: A. 115 S. Main Street - Becki Norment. Becki Norment is proposing to paint the face of the sign beige. Motion was made to approve the COA by Barbara Wilson, seconded by Jerry Raper. Motion carried 5 -0. Becki was advised she would need to come back before the Commission when the space is rented out with a logo or copy of what will be on the sign. Motion was made by Barbara Wilson, seconded by Sue Lancaster for Becki Norment to return to the meeting. Motion carried 5 -0. 6. Receipt of report from the Historic Preservation Officer. Lisa Wright handed out the attached report. 7. Request items from Board for future agendas. The Commission asked when the street signs would be installed. The HPO advised she would check on it.
