UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Unfinished Business Discussion
• Ms. Brokenshire commented that staff has not yet received the application for the Eccleshall house.
• Commissioner Spencer said he talked to Bill and Kathleen Wilson about getting their house at 8526
216a' Street SW on the Register.
• Ms. Brokenshire said she got a great quote on the plaques, but they need to see if the HPC money
has rolled over from last year's budget. If not, they need to hold off until they can apply for grant
money from the state. Six plaques would be about $1800 which would bring the plaques up to date,
but it would also be nice to have extra. Councilmember Dotsch said she would ask if the budget will
be rolled over. Commissioner Deiner-Karr noted that one year they had people sponsor the calendar.
She wondered if that was still an option. Ms. Brokenshire said she will look into it.
• Chair Vogel said he just got another 50 newsletters from Ms. Brokenshire. The Yost Park newspaper
box has been very popular.
• Commissioner Raetzloff asked if it would be possible to put the weir on the Register even though
they know that most of it will probably be torn down. Ms. Brokenshire said she would look into it
and also look at how the hotel application was done as an example. There was interest in pursuing
this. Commissioner Deiner-Karr said she was the one who signed the application for the hotel. She
also recommended looking at Brackett's barn. That didn't exist, but they still put a marker on it.
• Commissioner Spencer said Clint Wright and his wife might both be interested in joining the
Commission. Commissioner Preston said he knew someone from Edmonds that lives in Seattle now
that might be interested. It was unclear if the HPC members are required to be Edmonds residents.
• Ms. Brokenshire stated that the February meeting would be cancelled because she would be gone.
ACTION ITEMS
None
COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS
Chair Vogel thanked everyone for their participation. He is looking forward to having some more listings this
year. He expressed appreciation to Commissioner Spencer for doing a lot of the leg work in getting the listings
they got last year. He encouraged everyone to start thinking about the next newsletter. He suggested that they
talk about the four properties that were just listed.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Commissioner Spencer said he is also looking forward to the new year and pounding the pavement to get more
listings.
Councilmember Dotsch said she was happy to be present as Council's representative. She asked how they find
new listings. Commissioner Spencer noted they had two studies done that listed all the homes in the city that
would make good candidates. What he has been doing is doing some research on the homes and then knocking
on doors to give them some information to see if they are interested in being on the Register.

Commissioner Raetzloff also commended Commissioner Spencer for his enthusiasm about getting new listings.
Commissioner Preston noted that it is clear that Ms. Brokenshire has done her homework. He expressed
appreciation for her hard work. He welcomed Councilmember Dotsch to the group.
Commissioner Deiner-Karr recommended branching out from the core because there are already a lot of historic
homes there. She also asked about putting The Preservationist into one of Theresa's links which would allow
them to reach more people. She expressed interest again in getting the Bell Street house. Commissioner Spencer
said he would work on it.
