Councilmember Rod Olsen suggested that the commission consider locating the station building on the old Pioneer Cemetery two blocks west on State Street, given that the property is larger. Van Wagoner, corroborated by Councilmember Carl Mellor, also a member of the commission, said that putting the historic building on a site different than the original site might preclude the project from receiving development grants. He pointed out that the commission had wanted to put the building near the Memorial Building but was told that such a move would likely place the project in unfavorable status. Mellor added that there would have to be more "city participation" in the funding, which the commission estimated at about $170 thousand. Councilmember Johnny Barnes suggested tabling the matter for two weeks in order to look into the exact amount of grants that might potentially be lost by not placing the building on the suggested site;, Mellor, however, pointed out that February is the deadline for applying for some of the grants. given).
