Old Business: Weather Tower Stanford showed members a memo he had received from Jim Roark stating that he had talked to Chief Clapper about using the tower on the Firehouse for the equipment and the Chief had advised him that the tower would be a poor place because of the vibrations from the siren and also the moisture. Members agreed that they should give approval for the use of the tower on City Hall but were concerned that he use the existing one instead of constructing another one.

Stanford was questioned whether they should treat all the requests as one motion or not and Stanford thought that it would be the most efficient way. Burns pointed out that neither Aspen Arcades nor Ute City needed designation because both were within their "H" district. He questioned whether they should have a designation or plaque on the building and it was noted that the historic core was marked on the zoning map.
