PROGRAM reviewed his memo dated June 26, 2009 which explained
the facade rehabilitation program.

would come from TIF #1.
Alderman Walsten stated his support for preserving
historic signs and for rejuvenation of the downtown
area.
Alderman Higgason asked what would happen if the
business closes and the building is empty.
Alderman Brookman asked about how the City determines
its' portion of the cost. Director of Community &
Economic Development Conlan said that it is a

down.

preserving any sign that a business owner believes
should be preserved.

that the sign remains lit.

1

PROGRAM include rehabilitation of a sign as part of its
(Cont'd) business expenses. Mr. Moore stated that TIF money

projects. Mr. Moore urged the City Council to not
pass the ordinance.
Ms. Linda Caruth, 1868 Bennett Place, addressed the
Committee of the Whole and stated that she agreed
with Mr. Moore's opinions. Ms. Caruth stated that
the City would be forcing a private owner to change a
sign for a private business.

Committee of the Whole and asked what constitutes
historical?
Director of Community & Economic Development Conlan
explained the process of hearings being held before

distinction between protecting history and investing
in history.
Alderman Argus agreed that the owner should obtain
three bids.

business' advantage to financially support the name

is being completely changed.

work was 990 complete; upon inspection, he did not
find what was in the plan. When the owner came in,
Director of Building & Code Spiel talked about a
variation. The initial plans did not need a
variation.
Alderman Brookman asked if it was for a variation
when the Zoning Board voted against it. Director of
Building & Code Spiel replied that it was for a
variation.
Director of Community & Economic Development Conlan
stated it would be a reconsideration of the vote in
April, 2009. The Zoning Board recommended at that
time that the City Council deny the request for a
major variation. The City Council denied the request
unanimously.
