Mr. Horn pointed to the list of possible historic resources requested by the Council and described how the list was compiled. He reviewed the draft ordinance, highlighting the revisions made in response to comments nlade at the September 22 Work Session. Vice Mayor Glaze expressed concern that the Captain Roberts House, 526 Lewelling Boulevard, has historical significance to San Leandro yet is recommended for removal from the current Historic Sites Register due to alterations made to the structure. He questioned this and other recommendations made by the consultant. Mr. Horn noted the list provided is only preliminary. Once the ordinance is adopted, the next phase of the consultant's work will involve developing detailed background information on each structure. Vice Mayor Glaze expressed frustration at the length of time it has taken to enact the ordinance and concern that some of the structures on the list have been, or will be, destroyed or altered before the process gets underway. Mayor Young commented that the City has gone to great lengths to move and preserve the Captain Roberts House and that it should be on the list regardless of the consultant's recommendation. She agreed with Vice Mayor Glaze regarding the need to act on the ordinance, noting 33 properties on the list have already been demolished.
