OLD BUSINESS
Continued Consideration of Goodwin -Rosenbaum House Disposition (continued
from June 29, 2009); a request for a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the disposition of the salvaged portions of the Goodwin -Rosenbaum
House and other items currently stored by the City at the Camino Real
Playhouse. Project manager Teri Delcamp made the staff presentation and
recommendation that the Commission view the items now that they have been
removed from the Playhouse and make a recommendation to the City Council.
Discussion ensued regarding plans for the train depot items that are historic but
not original to San Juan Capistrano versus the salvaged portions of the house
Joe Tait, Interim City Manager 2 November 10, 2009
which are connected to the town's history. Dave Davidson has expressed an
interest in the salvaged portions of the house. Staff is coordinating with the
Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum for the depot items. Staff proposes to
announce the availability of the items to the public through a press release, then
negotiate with interested parties, with the alternative of a public event or auction
if no agreement can be negotiated.
The Commission supported the process outlined by staff in the June 29, 2009,
staff report. They were in consensus, however, that some of the salvaged house
items should, if possible, go to the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society. These
items are; one of the original windows, and a portion of a wall panel with original
wallpaper if possible. These items would be appropriate for the Historical Society
to add to their existing collection of Rosenbaum family historical artifacts.
