Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes March 21, 2022 Page 3 of 4 Bauer explains potential goals the commission could have for 2022. The goals could include the following: • Public outreach projects such as the coloring book • Reviewing online information provided on the City's website • Develop new or updated advertisement materials for explaining and celebrating the HPF program • Complete historic survey project • Residential grant amounts • Grant requirements • Old Town Overlay Zone District The commissioners discuss which goals would be beneficial and how to prioritize them. They would like to continue with a coloring book as well as working with the museum to do a walking tour. Having a booth at the farmers market would also help promote the preservation program. The commissioners mention updating the City's website and the importance of giving updates on landmarked properties such as an updated landmark map. They speak on the possibility of having a social media presence in order to advertise the events they are doing and communicate new information. They would also like new brochures to give to the public describing the program and giving more information about it. They mention the possibility of following up with homeowners who have landmarked and getting their feedback on how the process was. The commission discuss the need for a separate meeting in the next two -three months in order to review the grant amounts and requirements. Subcommittee Updates Bauer says the subcommittee has not received any alteration certificate reviews but has received one demolition review for 301 Pine St. She explains what that review entailed for this property. Landmark Plaque Ceremony Planning Bauer says the commission will have three plaques to give out so far for this year. She asks when the commissioners would like to give out the plaques. She also asks if they would like to handout the plaques in a singular spot like the museum. Haley asks if May is preservation month. Bauer says that is correct. Haley says May is when the commissioner would give out all the plaques. She thinks May would be great to give out the plaques because of preservation month. She also thinks that she prefers going to each property to give them their plaque. The other commissioners agree with Haley on when to give out the plaques. They also agree that the plaques should be given at each property. Haley mentions doing a before and after celebration at the museum. Another option is after the plaques are given at each home, there could be a celebration at the museum.
