Commission Business Session 3. Info_2017_LMC_Annual_Mtg Request: Info. on 2017 LMC Annual Meeting - Bob Keesaer Project Name: LMC Annual Meeting Jurisdiction: Louisville Metro Government Case Manager: Bob Keesaer Bob Keesaer presented information regarding the 2017 Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission Annual Meeting. Mr. Keesaer stated the Annual Meeting will be Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. at Union Station in the Board Room. This agenda item was for information purposes only; therefore, no vote or action was taken. 4. Policy_ARC_Quorum Request: Policy for allowing LM Commissioners to replace other LM Commissioners on ARC’s to make quorum - Bob Keesaer Project Name: Policy -LMC Commissioners Jurisdiction: Louisville Metro Government Case Manager: Bob Keesaer Bob Keesaer stated they are presenting a policy change for Landmarks to allow Emily Liu to be able to make a quorum or to add to a quorum where a Landmarks Commissioner designated to an ARC cannot attend. This will allow us to meet quorum, and also allow us to add to a decision-making body of an ARC. Mr. Keesaer stated typically you would have to sit on an ARC to be able to substitute for another Landmarks Commissioner. Mr. Keesaer stated Emily does not sit on an ARC, so this would allow some flexibility to make quorum and to add to an ARC body. The Commissioners briefly discussed this policy change. Formal action on this item was reserved for the Annual Meeting; therefore, no vote or action was taken today. CHAIRMAN OR COMMISSION DIRECTOR’S REPORT Chair Vice stated they have had a couple of requests from members of the public to talk about the house on Tremont and the eventual resolution of that. Chair Vice stated we've now passed the period for any appeal, and the Annual Meeting is in February. Chair Vice stated this is the kind of topic where we could talk about that case with all of the ARC members present. Chair Vice stated obviously this case has been resolved, but he thinks the Annual Meeting would be a good forum because while it affected an Individual Landmark, there could be issues that come up in the districts and the ARC members may have interests and opinions as well. Chair Vice suggested setting aside some time at the Annual Meeting to discuss not necessarily the specifics of that case, but the whole framework of how that came up and how it was handled because it may come up again in the future. Bob Keesaer stated we would definitely put that as an agenda item for the Annual Meeting. Commissioner Weeter noted the Tremont house has been demolished.
