Mark Reavis: Introduced the Cultural Resource Study, apologized for the stone being classified as Malpais stone in the document. Duffie Westheimer: Wanted to know if the four places where Malpais stone is mentioned have been corrected.

Alycia Hayes: Asked for clarification as to whether the study is Phase 1 or Phase 2 Mark Reavis: Answered that the study should be considered a phase 2 and will clarify that as well. Duffie Westheimer: Asked about an old wall located near the property. Mark Reavis: Answered that it is a wall that is associated with a house demolished two houses to the north. Emily Dale: Asked how many buildings have been demolished in total for this project. Mark Reavis: Two buildings to the north of the Baca House, the Baca House, a warehouse/metal building structure that did not meet the criteria for being listed. There is one more building to be demolished that needs a cultural resource study which is the Flag Ice building. We are currently working out how to get that building evaluated and get the correct cultural resource study done on it. There was a building on Butler that was demolished and was not historic. The cement plant gets destroyed as well; it is not historic. Duffie Westheimer: Asked for clarification on how the commission can influence future decisions regarding housing. Sara Dechter: Clarified that the decision for alignment in 2006. She is fairly certain that this commission did have input on the project, but would need to look at minutes from those meetings.

Shelli Dea: Asked what happens with material after demolition.
