Commissioner Wiedower asked that "Do Not Forward" on the front of the card.
Staff will check with the Postal Service on this issue.
e. Dunbar RFQ for Survey. The RFQ closed on February 1 st. There were several
submittals on the survey. Mr. Minyard explained that the state has not required a
DOE Determination of Eligibility. He continued that he and five State employees
drove the neighborhood the week before. The consensus of the group was that
the area from Roosevelt to 17th was the strongest area for contributing
structures. The next strongest area was from 11th to 17th. If combined from
11th to Roosevelt, it would still be a strong district. The State suggested not
even to survey north of 11th. Mr. Minyard stated that it was the City Managers
intention to survey the entire area. Commissioner Susan Bell stated that a DOE
had been filed on the area already.
f. Citizen Communication — None.
