It was necessary to continue approval of the Minutes for January 10, 1994 until the March meeting so that
a quorum of attendees from the January meeting would be available to approve the Minutes.
OLD BUSINESS:
1. Election of Officers
Several nominations for Chairman were made but not seconded.
Acting Chairperson Aharoni, as one of the nominees for Chairman, stated that he has been concerned for
some time that the Commission has an inadequate composition of member and is unfocused in their goals.
He feels there needs to be a strong member on the Commission who is knowledgeable about the history of
Carlsbad and who could be a spokesperson for the Commission at community functions. He also feels that
the Commission needs to focus on one or two specific projects, and should receive some financial
assistance from the City Council to carry out those projects. Lastly, he is concerned about the staffing
arrangements because he feels it lacks continuity when staff alternates back and forth. Commissioner
Aharoni requested that these remarks be noted in the Minutes.
After discussion, Commissioner Jones suggested that the election be postponed to the March meeting so
that all Commissioners could be in attendance.

Register.
Acting Chairperson Aharoni stated that he would like to see an application submitted to create a
self-guided walking tour of the historical structures in downtown Carlsbad. The application deadline is
March 31 , 1994. In the interest of time, Commissioner Aharoni will work with Commissioner Wanamaker
to develop a scope for a downtown walking tour so that staff will have the necessary information to submit
an application before the deadline.
Commissioner Jones also suggested the possibility of submitting an application to rennovate the old pool
hall in the Barrio. He will contact the property owner to see if there is any interest.
4. Revision to the Historic Preservation Ordinance
