The Special Called Meeting was called to order by Chairman John
Bush. A quorum was present - John Bush, Carl Menyhart, Jeanette
Heinbockel, Julie Wiedower and Bob Roddey. Assistant City Attorney
Anthony Black and City Attorney Tom Carpenter were present.
A lengthy discussion regarding Kramer School followed.
The Commission requested the City's legal staff for an explanation
and determination of authority in the MacArthur Park Historic
District. After a lengthy discussion, City Attorney Tom Carpenter
assured the Commission that neither the City nor Dr. Roy would
demolish Kramer School in the next 30 day time period.
Commissioner Roddey pointed out that the Commission would be
notified by staff if demolition were imminent. There are only two
ways for a demolition to occur 1) Dr. Roy or his agent must obtain
a demolition permit from the Neighborhoods and Planning permit
desk, in which case the staff would be notified, and 2) the
demolition be put on ordinance to the City Board of Directors and
due notice with a public hearing would ensue.
Further discussion of Kramer School followed.
The Commission unanimously agreed to fashion a letter to the City
Board of Directors expressing their position.
There being no further business before the Commission, the meeting
adjourned.
