He said the current procedure had been on the books for approximately ten to twelve <br />years and if Council wanted to change the procedure, City Staff would need input from the <br />Historic Preservation Commission in more detail and suggestions of what they wanted to do <br />different. Mr. McIlyar gave an example, such as properties that were falling in disrepair in the <br />Historic District and if the Historic Preservation Commission wanted to start referring them out <br />to non-profits for repairs or funding some kind of system to help repair them and keep them off <br />of demolition track. <br />Mayor Hashmi said a lot of time, effort and work had gone into this project and he <br />appreciated all that those who had worked on this project. Mr. Anderson said at this point that <br />Council needed to receive these recommendations, because some of the items would need to be <br />brought back as separate items and some items would need to be addressed during budget, such <br />as Mr. Wilson's request to hire a structural engineer in certain instances. <br />A Motion to receive the recommendations from the Task Force was made by Council <br />Member McCarthy and seconded by Council Member Pickle. Motion carried, 7 ayes - 0 nays. <br />24.
