Director Quaschnick reported the Agency has received a request from Mr. Leonard Jones of Wilson Jewelers to work with them in designing a facade treatment that would be consistent with the Agency' s WNW revitalization objectives. Rather than ask Mr. Jones to wait until a complete program is in place and operating, Mr. Quaschnick felt it would be beneficial to have this and other projects underway as soon as possible. The Redevelopment Advisory Board voted Mr. Quaschnick' s recommendation down on a two to one vote with six members abstaining. Mr . Martinez moved to authorize staff to have a Facade preliminary design and cost estimate prepared for Design Wilson Jewelers ' building. Stating that Mr. Jones Assistance has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the downtown projects, Mr. DeMirjyn seconded the motion. Mr. Johnson felt this was putting the cart before the horse as no criteria has been set up for this type of assistance and it may bind the Agency to future applications. Mr . Larsen suggested delaying a decision until procedures and guidelines could be established and moved to table this item until the June 19, 1984, meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Johnson and carried by the following vote: AYES: Members Beswick, Johnson, and Larsen NOES: Members DeMirjyn and Martinez Ads, Preliminary design plans for the State Street portion of the Phase I Public Improvements were received Monday. The Business Improvement District Board of Directors received them Monday morning at their meeting, and the Redevelopment Advisory Board reviewed them at their meeting Monday afternoon. Two schemes were presented by Gary Poling. Scheme 1 retained the Indian Laurels and planted smaller specimen trees in between. Scheme 22 recommended removal of the mid-block Indian Laurels with five smaller specimen trees planted through the mid-blocks. The Redevelopment Advisory Board voted in favor of Scheme 2. Paul Haislip reported that BID had not seen the plans until yesterday morning and had not had time to poll their membership. He commented that the Indian Laurels are now high enough not to cover the store signs and that smaller trees would block the store views. He also felt the Indian Laurels covered up some rather ugly buildings. He urged the Agency to allow BID the opportunity to study this matter. It was a consensus that cost figures were needed and that the BID needed time to contact their members. Therefore, the Agency Board agreed to adjourn this meeting to May 29, 1984 . The meeting recessed at 4 : 14 P.M. to a closed session for the purpose of discussing items covered under the attorney/client privilege with no report expected. The meeting adjourned to an adjourned regular meeting to be held on May 29, 1984, at 6 :00 P.M. in the Council Chambers. Next regular meeting, June 5, 1984 . ze Chairman, Redevelopment Agency ATTEST: Sec `etary g�s 0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0 Ad- 111-111
