<br />Council President Parent asked Council Vice President Dombrowski to chair this portion of the

<br />the Council, as to what the City Council can do in terms of taking official action to support the
<br />development of the Century Mall Project, particularly in view of the action taken by the Historic
<br />Preservation Commission. He indicated he had prepared a letter and statement, on behalf of the
<br />Council, to be sent to the Department of National - Resources, Division of Historic Preservation.
<br />It was the feeling of the Council that this letter should include a statement to the effect that
<br />this letter in no way should be construed to mean that the Council feels there are buildings
<br />of historic value in the downtown area. Mayor Nemeth indicated that it would appear to him
<br />that it would certainly help if the Historic Preservation Commission would withdraw their request
<br />He said the owners of the buildings have not consented to have their buildings declared Historic
<br />Lnadmarks. Council Member Taylor indicated he felt this statement by the Council would indicate
<br />they are one hundred percent on the side of the development of the mall. The Council unanimously
<br />agreed to the sending of this letter.
<br />Council Member Miller suggested that the City provide for sanding of intersections when the tempa{
<br />ture is below five to ten degrees.
<br />There being no further business to come before the Council, unfinished or new, Council Member
<br />Adams made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Council Member Dombrowski. The motion carried and
