The motion was seconded by Ms. Jacobson and carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens stated that the proposed Text Amendment would be forwarded to the Plan <br />Commission for their consideration.

However, HPC feedback could still be gathered. A <br />tour of the Annex was still not possible until the building was vacated by the Police <br />Department. However, a tour of the Old Library building could be arranged. <br /> <br />-It was stated that not much could be done until Council provided further direction <br />and the Commission members could see the buildings. <br /> <br />-Commission members stated that there could be further discussion on ideas for <br />committee formation and who should be on the committee. There would be no <br />reason to not provide input early and the full HPC should provide advice on <br />committee membership. <br /> <br />-Commission members stated that ideas for committee membership should be <br />discussed at the July 21 HPC meeting. Discussions about the repurposing of the <br />buildings should wait until after touring the buildings. <br />Public Comments <br />Barb Chicherio, 720 Harvard Avenue, stated that it would be important that someone <br />representing University Heights Subdivision should be on the committee due to its <br />proximity to the buildings. <br />tğŭĻ Ћ ƚŅ Ќ <br /> <br />
