The minutes of the May 11, 2022 were approved by acclamation.
Ms. Karol Lyn Moore presented her request for reimbursement for the work completed on 131-
135 Lamar. Ms. Moore project included removal of all pressed metal pieces covering over her
transom windows on her property and painting the canopy and repairing what was needed. This
work was complete. She explained the further they got into the project, there were some
windows that were missing or so badly damaged they would need an appropriate replacement.
At this point they were covered back up as a temporary measure and the metal was painted
black until she could determine the next steps for replacement. The majority of the original
windows were replaced with a 1 over 1 configuration so that most likely will be what she will
investigate.
A motion to approve a $2500 Fagade Grant for the uncovering of the transom windows
and the painting of trim was made by Commissioner Coyle, seconded by Commissioner Emmite,
motion carried.
The commission reviewed photos of the new home built by Randy Hider located at 120 Long
Ave, in the HD -2 Church Street Historic District.
A motion was made by Commissioner Long approve the Verification of Construction for
the New Historically compatible construction of a single family house on 120 Long Ave,
verifying the structure was built according to the Certificate of Appropriateness. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Coyle, motion carried.
A motion was made by Commissioner Vandiver to approve the $1000 grant for the
historically compatible new home construction on the property located at 120 Long ave. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Long, motion carried.
The Certificate of Appropriateness: 44 E. Long Ave was tabled for further information.
A motion was made to recuse Commissioner Coyle by Chairman Dux, seconded by
Commissioner Vandiver. Motion carried.
Ms. Suzanna Coyle, daughter of Mrs. Sandra Ables, presented the Certificate of
Appropriateness for the property located at 7 S. Plaza, the Solomon building. Ms. Coyle has
changed from the original design submitted in the March 2022 Historic Preservation
Commission meeting and is pursuing Phase -1 design discussed with the Texas Main Street
Design staff. Ms. Coyle has reviewed all the suggested recommendations given in the report,
which included three different suggestions. They want to pursue Phase 1 with a flat front
facade, built out as a flat storefront approximately 1 ft from the front of the brick columns face.
The property owner is requesting a fiberglass fagade with a smooth finish, which is an
acceptable alternative. The replacement will have a 2 ft footer from the bottom made of
fiberglass panels. There will be double doors, and narrow window lines holding display glass.
At this time she intends to re -install the existing canvas awning back to the front of the property,
however this is subject to change based on what existing conditions are found during the demo
phase. There are existing canopy tie rod hooks that give evidence of the existence of a canopy,
however the property owner will need to see what historic material exist and make a decision.
Commissioner Caffey made a motion to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as
detailed in the design rendering from the Texas Main Street rendering Phase 1, with the
exception of the use of fiberglass instead of wood. Commissioner Emmite seconded, motion
carried.
Mrs Ables applied for a $2500 50/50 matching facade grant for the improvements.
Commissioner Caffey made the motion to approve the fagade grant for the improvements as
approved in the Certificate of Appropriateness at the property located at 7 S. Plaza in the
amount of $2500. Motion seconded by Commissioner Long, motion carried.
Mrs Ables applied for a Tax Exemption for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties.
Commissioner Long made the motion to approve the tax exemption application for
rehabilitation of a historic property in need of repair located at 7 S. Plaza. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Emmite, Motion carried.
A motion was made to return Commissioner Coyle back to the commission by
Commissioner Emmite, seconded by Commissioner Vandiver, motion carried.
Cheri Bedford gave update to the commission on the Certificates of appropriateness approved in
house.

Discuss and Consider Approypl of awardine a bid for Lot Clearin and Cleanu Services for PEDC ro ert on
SWLooe 286
Ms. Hammond opened by recapping on lot clearing and cleanup for the newly acquired land on the Southwest
Loop, north of Kimberly-Clark. The request for bids opened on May 91h and in response, two bids were received
from Withers Construction, LLC at $ 109,650 and Brush Tech Land Clearing at $ 177,185.
Upon staff performing a review of each company's bid information and credentials, it is apparent that each
company is qualified to provide the services requested per the RFB. Beyond the difference in price between
each bidder, with Brush Tech being substantially higher, the key difference is the timeframe for completion of
work. Both companies estimated completion of their work within the timeline established in the RFB.
Ms. Hammond recommended that the bid be awarded to Withers Construction, LLC at their bid of $109,650 for
the reasons stated above.
Mr. Bray reaffirmed Ms. Hammond's previous statement by stating that both companies are very capable, and
as a steward of taxpayer dollars, there is benefit in proceeding with Withers Construction's bid. He also noted
some of the funds for this bid may possibly carry over to the 2022-2023 financial year due to the estimated time
completion of work.
Ms. Hammond added that there is $70,000 left in the 2021-2022 budget for industrial park maintenance. Dr.
Hashmi inquired about the timeline differences between bids submitted and Mr. Bray responded with a brief
discussion. No additional questions followed.
Dr. Hashmi made the motion to approve the bid as presented. Mr. Coleman seconded the motion.
