HISTORIC BtJARD REVIEW 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Report Historic Preservation Canference - Loretta Harvey Loretta Hanrey nated the report in the packet and asked if there were questions or comments. James Malanaphy said he enjayed the report. Kim Booth, reparted Grants Pass, Oregon, sponsored a day a year where businesses formed teams to paint and fix up places around the town. Booth said she would get information from Grants Pass on how to develop such a program. Historic District Board May 23, 1995 Page 1 ~ b. RFP Historic Survey/inventory ~ , Loretta Harvey reported only one proposal was received from Preservation North. The total bid amount was $23,284.00, and the grant was for $10,757.57. This created a shortfall of $12,522.43. Harvey said she had spoken to Finance Director, Charles Brown and he had recommended several things: See if more grant money was available, see if Council would pay additional money, or reduce the scope-of-work. Loretta had also called the SHPD office and spoken to Rene Haas who indicated all funds had been allocated. If the Board wished to reduc+e the scope of work the SHP4 would have to receive a written request and then evaluate whether a reduced scope- of-work would be acceptable. Loretta asked the Board how they wished to proceed with the selection pracess. James Malanaphy felt the Board should interview the company who had submitted the praposal. He felt it was not clear in the proposal what the scope-of-work was. Chairperson Gray noted the scope-of-work does not need to include the church or church property. Research has already been done on this, when the church became a Histaric Landmark. James Malanaphy recommended a representative from the SHP4 office be invited to participate in the interview to the help define the scope-of-work, and make changes which could reduce the bid amount. ~oT~oN: James Malanaphy MQVED to request an interview with Lane and Elliot, doing business as Preservation Nor~h, to see if they would lower bid amaunt, or change scope-of-work to fit grant budget. Wanda Carlson SEC~NDED. Chairperson Gray felt the Consultants should be told the amount of the grant. This would give them an opportunity to adjust the scope-of-work and proceed with the project on a smaller scale. Historic District Board May 23, 1995 Page 2 ~ ~ AMENDED M(~TION: ~ ~ James Malanaphy AMENDED the motion to notify Preservation North that they were slightly aver-budget, and ask if they were interested in coming down to renegotiate the scope-of-work.

Chairperson Gray asked Staff to schedule an intenriew for June 1 or 2, at 10:00 a.m. 7. ~LD BUSINESS a. Interpretative Site Develapment Chairperson Gray reported May 10th, the Board held a joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Comm ission. Bunny and Claire Swan, were present representing the Kenaitze Tribe. They submitted a letter from the tribe, which outlined what they would like to see done with the sight. The site will be developed in phases. The first phase will be ta clean up the area, designated parking ta keep people off the bluff, and develop a sign to identify the area as the ariginal village of Shkituk'. City Council approved the concept at their last meeting. The Church Board has approved inclusion of the Mission tract in the site, pending approval of the Archdiocese of Kodiak. Michael Hundorf, representing Kenai Indian Tribe, said he liked the idea af this being a reflective area and preserving a natural setting. Loretta Harvey suggested this idea be presented to the Parks and Rec Commission, since it would prabably eventually come under the auspices of the Parks & Rec Department. James Malanaphy felt the area should possibly be nominated as a Historic Landmark and asked that this item be placed on the next agenda. b. Preservation Plan Chairperson Gray asked if Baard members would bring sections of the plan they have finished to the next meeting. To date only Malanaphy and Gray have submitted their sections.
