I am in full support . The arguments against it seem to be highl y
irrational and presume that the city and staff cannot treat the issue s
reasonably .

Subject : Tonight's meetin g
Auto forwarded by a Rul e
Mayor and Council Members ,
I will not be able to attend tonight's meeting but want to express m y
concerns regarding the new ordinance :
Before you adopt this ordinance, consider and understand what you ar e
asking of a select group of your citizens . Put yourselves in thei r
shoes .
The city has determined that your home is in some sense historical .
This determination, which may at first seem like an honor, ofte n
results in a substantial taking of property without compensatio n
through building and land restrictions .
Now you are being told that you are financially responsible to foreve r
maintain an old structure that long ago probably should have bee n
replaced . You are held responsible for decades of wear that you had n o
control over . The structure can not be insured and has little valu e
beyond the land it sits on .
To make matters worse, you are told that you must do all of this no t
because your home is really unique or historically important as i s
called for in preservation guidelines , but because its age and loo k
increases tourism .
Is it really in the city's long term interest to to ignore the Fift h
and Twelfth Amendment rights of any of its citizens .
