ACTION: UPON MOTION BY COMMITTEE MEMBER PAPP, SECONDED BY
COMMITTEE MEMBER BRAJKOVICH, CARRIED 4-0-2, (COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FINA & MATTESON ABSENT), to recommend that the Hotel Cerro sign on the second
floor of the Smith Building is consistent with Secretary of the Interior Standards; that the leaf
transom sign on the Smith Building is inset and therefore has a slight effect on the
appearance of the building; and that the transom sign on the Union Hardware Building does
violate Secretary of the Interior standards and should be replaced with a plaque sign, halo lit
individual lettering, or similar sign that does not interfere with the architectural character of
the building that is located in the original location of the Union Hardware sign.

future agenda.
By consensus, members of the committee asked the Chair to direct a letter to the City Council
