Chairman Dux reviewed minutes from a previous commission discussing fencing of alleys as
well as other recommended changes that need investigated and put online in a way that is
searchable.
Cheri infc)rmed the commission that she had learned from the City Manager the proper
protocol for changes to the Design Standards was to take them to City Council for approval.
However., the first step is for City Council to officially adopt the Design Standards. So, the
COu'll'I'liSSIOn Should review changes or clarifications they would like to see, andthen
recommend adoption of1he Design standards and changes together to the city COLHICil. ShQ
also told the commission while reviewing, the previous meeting minutes for changes that
needed to be recorded, there had been several dISCUSSIon,'i, about desired reconunendations.
She couldn't find any records in the minutes that the commission actually followed tip on the
topics, in their next meetings. There was only one change that she had found in the past
minutes that they had actually voted on. This was in addition to the most recent change that
had to do with the clarification ol'appropriate window replacements in the district.
COrflJIIiSSiO]ICr DUx addressed the commission and asked if they had any reconuliclidations as
to how, they would want to do to review, the standards tor changes. COITIrnissioner Coyle
noted the impoi-tarice of making Sure the all the changes they needed were included, but he
stressed getting them adopted is very important and something that Should happen sooner
than later, as the commission has desired to 'get tl'jeni adopted f -or years with no SUCCCSS.
ChaIrIlIall DUX requested volunteers to serve on as subcommittee to review [lie design,
standards for any clarification, review previous commission's Suggestions, and bring back
recommendations to the commission for discussion. Commissioner Coyle, Cornmissioner
