HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| PLACED ON FILE
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the staff report is the same as the last meeting's.
John Linn and Juliana Pascucci -- provided information in the file relating to the cost of replacing the windows at a cost of $144 per square foot and $109 per square foot for replacing with aluminum. Restoration would be $800,000 plus versus $600,000 for aluminum for a difference of approximately $197,000 and they repeat their earlier request based upon cost. Ald. Bauman does not support their request. One facade would be restored, one would be replacement wood and two would be aluminum, per Mr. Askin. The chair thinks all the elevations look nice and historic so he is loath to deviate from the standards.
Ald. Bauman moves to deny the COA, seconded by Ms. Clendenen-Acosta. There were no objections.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said applicant proposes repairing as many windows as possible and will replace windows with an aluminum that mirrors the existing windows. A lot of the window panes have been replaced with Lexan, which is now severely discolored. Staff is willing to accept metal windows on 2 of the 3 elevations (not on the north side, on the south and east elevations only). Staff is also fine with the security grates and has recommendations included as part of the staff report.
Juliana Pascucci - Milwaukee Public Schools - the color will stay the same.
Ald. Bauman isn't sure if wood window restoration is more expensive than new aluminum windows.
John Linn - Milwaukee Public Schools - they did do a cost survey on Washington School and it would cost $1 million to repair windows on one side of that school.
MPS will submit the bids they had on the work for the Washington school windows.
