replicates the shape of the fountain. Becki Norment inquired about whether

the design of the sign as presented was made by Brian Wear, seconded by

5. Discussion of and possible action on a proposed application for a Meadows
Foundation grant to build a pocket park. The HPO advised the Commission
that she had spoken with the Meadows Foundation and was told that the City
would need to have a 50% match. She asked Commission members to
consider if they wanted to pare down the project to lower the initial amount
that would need to be raised. Commission members asked that this item be
placed on the agenda later in March so that the HPO could contact other
companies for quotes. Motion to table the item was made by Paul Denney,
seconded by Ann Rodgers. Motion carried 7 -0.
Arvin Starrett asked the Commission if they felt the need to continue having
meetings twice monthly now that design guidelines are available, especially
since the Wednesday meeting was usually very short. The consensus was
that the Commission would meet once a month and cancel the Wednesday
meetings if there was no business to attend to.
6. Receipt of report from the Historic Preservation Officer. The HPO presented
the attached report. The Commission discussed the need to make additional
changes to the design guidelines as recommended by Josh Lasserre. He
stated that he and the HPO would get together and call ArchiTexas about the
issue.
7. Request items from Board for future agendas. There were none.
8. The meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
APPROVED THIS 28TH DAY OF MARCH, 2005.
