1/14/2019	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	HELD IN COMMITTEE; Minutes note: Ms. Hatala had given a presentation on the history of the park at the December meeting, a public hearing was held and the Urban Ecology Center requested a postponement of the actual vote to discuss if they felt comfortable with the designation. Ms. Hatala met with Urban Ecology staff and the nominator and the conclusion is they would like to work collectively to make the guidelines clearer. The consensus appears to be to work more on this between staff, the Center and the nominator. All parties are amenable to holding this.	Pass	5:0
