Applicant submitted by Steve and Tracy Huff. The Committee tabled this item for a future meeting. The Committee would like the applicants to contact the original homeowner's whom now live in San Antonio.

It was suggested to look at next year when new members were appointed to the Committee. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Report from staff. Ms. Hitchcock told the Committee that she spoke to Julie Schultz from Brazos Heritage Society and Julie wanted to let the Committee know that the Brazos Heritage Society is eager to participate or help out with any program the Committee may want to do. The participation could range from manpower to financial assistance. The Committee would formally need to ask for their assistance. AGENDA ITEM M NO. 10: Consideration,discussion and possible action on future agenda items. Ms. Griffith suggested that the Committee review the Goals they developed to refresh their memories. There will be new members appointed in June and that would be a good time for the new members to be in on any new projects. Mr. Lancaster asked that the VIP Program be added again. Mr. Battle stated that typically this Committee does not meet during the summer, so May would be the Committee's last meeting. An orientation meeting was held last year after new members were appointed and it would be a good thing to do again probably in July or August for the new members that were assigned. Mike Luther requested that the home plaque application for 603 Welsh remains open so further information could be added to it. Mr. Luther also thought that this type file would qualify to be a guideline for future historic applications. The information can be added to a website for Historic Preservation. Mr. Lancaster replied that he would like the other files to also remain open. Ms. Griffith had concerns of placing items on the web. These items would require releases from individuals who supplied the information. Ms. Griffith though this is would be something that the city's legal department should look at. Mr. Luther stated that he had releases from everyone he had interviewed. Mr. Luther added that he wanted the guidance that the decisions would be made by the Historic Preservation Committee as the publishing Editor. Mr. Battle replied that it would be hard for him to comment. Items could be labeled as "an historical account by....". Mr. Battle stated that one of the Goals the Committee has is the Website. This particular item can be under that topic for discussion. HPC Minutes April 9,2002 Page 2 of 3 AGENDA ITEM NO 11.: Adjourn. The meeting was adjourned. APPR!
