6. Standards and Maintenance • Commissioner Oxian announced the results of the meeting concerning code enforcement procedures in the Local Historic Districts. Kathy Dempsey, Director of Code Enforcement, is currently writing procedures for her department to follow when enforcing maintenance standards in LHD's as well as with Local Landmarks. Ms. DeRose noted that Ms. Dempsey's predecessor was not as enthusiastic regarding historic preservation as is Ms. Dempsey and that the relationship between the HPC and Code Enforcement has improved. Discussion ensued concerning the setting of code standards and the hearing process for violaters. Commissioner Sporleder asked whether the possibility existed for the city to do needed repairs and bill the owners. Ms. DeRose replied that many of the homeowners lack the means to pay for such repairs and that the city would then be forced to deal with angry, unpaid contractors. Discussion then moved to the matter of fines and the potential use of those accumulated funds. 7.

Commissioner Sporleder then asked about the possibility of establishing a revolving loan fund to aid in the maintenence of LHD's.

Commissioner Oxian responded saying that Madison was being treated in aacordance with HPC thought and that Riley was a "trick bag".
