Mr. Wasserman stated that for the following reasons it is his preference that the Historic Preservation Commission status remain as is with the Community Services Department providing primary staff support while the Planning staff continue to be available on an "as needed" basis: 1 . In his view, Commission support has been adequately handled by the Community Services Department. ' 2. If the Commission support services were to be switched to the Planning Division, it may over burden the planning staff. 3. Should the Commission come under the guise of the Planning Division, planning issues may have a higher priority than historic preservation issues, thus leaving some preservation issues 'on hold' and not progressing. 4. Should the Planning Division require extra staffing to cope with duties for the Historic Preservation Commission, it may draw outside criticism, once again, that the Planning Division is 'over staffed'.

Those reasons being: (1 ) There was no 'public interest shown in preservation of the station, even though all adjacent property owners (within 500 feet) were notified of the Public Hearing and ample press coverage on the subject had occurred; (2) Preservation efforts were futile as depot could not remain on site nor could it be moved. Commission Members agreed that preservation efforts began too late to benefit station. Commissioner Billings suggested that as Commission has delved deeply into all aspects and logistics of possible preservation including holding a public hearing, and -have come up with the only logical recommendation, that Chair- man Gorczyca address the Council only if so requested by them. Commission Members agreed. Motion Carried 6-0.

Mr. Reynolds stated that as per instruction for City Building and Safety Division, contract for demolition of depot has already been awarded. While Southern Pacific has no objection to the City attempting to bestow.landmark designation on the depot, they do not want the building to remain on their property, and cannot stop demolition proceedings; therefore, in order to save the station, it would have to be moved from the site. City Building Official , Jerry Grant, stated his opinion that attempting to move the station is not feasible because of its construction type. Minutes - H.P.C. 11/13/79 Page 2 Councilman Jon Mikels asked if there were any other options if Southern Pacific will not allow it to stand on the property and it can't be moved.

Press releases were sent to area newspapers requesting public input ' concerning preservation of railway station. No public comments have been received. - The community name of Alta Loma was derived from the railway depot. The Etiwanda railway station is of the same archi- tectural design and construction, and is in much better repair. It would require much less in restoration efforts. Minutes - H.P.C. 10/9/79 Page 2 - There are many other possible designations for historic landmarks within the City that have more his- torical significance. Further, the costs of a public hearing must be paid by the tax payers , who have shown no interest in preservation of this site. - The cost would be very great concerning restoration expenses, and at this time, no funding possibilities have been found. Chairman Gorczyca declared that a Commission decision to hold a public hearing should be based only on infor- mation received from guidelines set forth in Landmarks Designation Review Worksheet, and that funding possi- bilities need not be dealt with at this time.
