WHEREAS, 210 w. Francis Street, Lots P and Q, Block 48, City and Townsite of

provides Council with a 90 day period to delay the issuance of a demolition permit while
other alternatives and preservation incentives are discussed. Council is to be provided
with a recommendation about the historic significance of the resource from the Historic
Preservation Commission; and
WHEREAS, at their regular meeting on September 24, 2008, the Historic Preservation
Commission discussed 210 W. Francis Street and recommended that Council seek
voluntary designation by a vote of 6 to 0; and
WHEREAS, the 90 day negotiation period for 210 W. Francis will expire on October 27,
