But first, your local headlines:
Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission
The Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission met on May 9th. They discussed multiple demolition delays. The petitioner, Sable Beyers, requested full demolition approval on five properties located on East 7th Street and North Jefferson Street.
Historic Preservation Program Manager Noah Sandweiss gave background information on the historic nature of the properties.
Sandweiss said he received phone calls from neighbors about the potential demolition.
Commissioner Daniel Schlegel asked if the houses were in the Historic Green Acres district. Sandweiss responded.
Schlegel remarked that the demolition of the house at 324 North Jefferson Street would give him heartburn since he could tell it had been lovingly restored.
Commissioner Elizabeth Mitchell said that she would not like them to be demolished. Commissioner John Saunders replied that they could forward a recommendation to the city council to designate the area as a historic district.
Commissioner Bill Fulk said that although it would be sad to see them demolished, they are in an area that has been zoned for multi-family housing.
The petitioner Beyers Realty staff shared the purpose behind the demolition requests.
Legal Margie Rice suggested the city council could deliberate this in a work session.
Commissioner Member Sam Desollar recommended tabling the decision to have time to listen to public feedback on the potential demolitions.
Fulk said he would support a motion to table, and shared some final thoughts on the property.
The commission voted to table the vote on the demolition requests until their next meeting on May 23rd.
Bloomington Board of Public Works
The Board of Public Works met this Monday, May 6th.
During their meeting, Engineering Field Specialist Alex Gray shared the request from A-E-G to re-issue closure permits on South Maxwell Street and North Williams Street.
Board Member James Roach asked if she could explain what the installation is for. Gray responded.
The board voted unanimously to approve the closure permits request.
Later in the meeting, board members listened to a proposal for a new credit card processor at all city parking garages.
Parking Garages Parking Manager Jess Goodman spoke to the change in systems.
They said the new processor, Windcave, is necessary to be Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
The board approved the agreement with WindCave.
The next Bloomington Board of Public Works meeting will be held on May 21st.
