Leaves of Absence
Alternates
Groen noted he had talked to City Attorney Stuller
regarding their problem of absences and she had said
they could request Council to change the rules in the
charter. He asked if Stanford couldn't follow up on
that if they all agreed to go with it. Mrs. Frost said
she would rather see alternates than making people give
up their membership and Ms. End agreed. Stanford was
to make a request to Council for their next meeting.

HPC review:
Tom Mix exterior stair
Architect David Hauter represented Birkwood Associates
for the Tom Mix building. He noted that they had -
received a variance from the Board of Adjustments to
have the exterior stair with the variance only saying
it must be made of heavy timber. Marsh questioned if
the cinder blocks would hold on the building. Groen
said that the Building Inspector would have to have
detailed drawings before he would ok the project. Groen
objected to the stair because it would be tacked onto
the mall area and questioned why the staircase had not
been done before when they remodeled.
Michael arrives.
Miss End asked why they couldn't make it inside stairs.
Burns felt that this would need a public hearing also
since it significantly changes the outlook of that
open space.
Motion
Mrs. Glidden moved to table the application and request
that the applicant investigate incorporating the stairs
inside the building since the present plans do not
conform with ~4 & 5 of the criteria. Mrs. Frost
seconded. All in favor, motion carried.
Routing
Groen asked Meyring about routing of applications with
Meyring stating that applications comes through his
office first and secretary schedules them on the HPC
agenda. Stanford noted to Meyring that it was important
to tell the applicant what the procedures are for
getting on the agenda. He suggested having Building
secretary have them notify either himself or the
HPC secretary when he wants to be on the agenda.
Bus Stop shelter
Yank Mojo, acting Transportation Director, and Greg
Cole, Mall Planner presented a plan for a shelter at
Rubey Park for use of people waiting for the buses. It
would also be used as an information center on bus
schedules and routes. Cole noted he had drawn up a
free standing shelter that would hopefully be consistent
with the historic core. Cole said that the old train
terminal was the inspiration for this building only
with a tin gabled roof. The building would also be
lit for passenger convenience. Groen asked if this
building would be useable for the trolly with Mojo saying
