of the proposed area to be surveyed. Engineering Staff is conducting the boundary
survey and Wapsi Archeology would start work in November. She said the report
would be completed this winter.
Chris Olson noted that Planning Services Manager Wally Wernimont presented an
update to the Parks and Recreation Commission. She stated that she will present
an update to the Indian Advisory Council on Friday October 16, 2020. The
Commission discussed the location of areas to be surveyed.
• Update, Impact, and Response: Loras Boulevard explosion 9/28/2020
Staff Member Happ Olson provided an update on the Loras Boulevard explosion.
She explained that 459 Loras Blvd is a total loss. She noted the damage to the
buildings were largely window damage. She explained that Planning, City Manager,
Housing & Community Development, Fire, Police and Building were on site. She
explained that 15 houses were temporary condemned to allow city staff to inspect
before they would allow anybody into the structure. She noted she conducted a
survey assessment of properties affected by the blast the following day, developed
an ad-hoc addendum to the Architectural Guidelines, and developed a list of
contractors that specialize in historic elements. These items were shared with other
responding departments that were largely focused on triage for residents and
securing of property at first, and rehabilitation second.
Planning Services Manager Wernimont provided an update on the condition of
465/469 Loras Boulevard, which was largely affected due to it's closest proximity to
the blast site and the need for water as fire suppression, being so close to the house
and gas flare fires.

Commission meeting. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Daykin Cassill, Monk,
Klavitter, McAndrews, Stuter, Rapp, Clark and Doyle; Nay— none.

Respectfully submitted,
Wally Wernimont, Planning Services Manager Adopted
