Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 18, 2017 Page6of8 Trice presented that the National Alliance of Preservation Committees (NAPC) training was something that staff was interested in doing. It would require a subcommittee of Commission members to impliment. Haley asked if there were options to give realtors credit. Trice responded that staff had to look into it more, but there were potential resources to discuss providing credit. Chuck Thomas asked if there was an existing Colorado program. Trice responded that there were no programs that she knew of, but the Certified Local Government (CLG) coordinator at the state level might have suggestions for partnering with other communities or how to do it alone. Haley volunteered to be on the subcommittee. She stated that the subcommittee had the information compiled, but needed to make it into a presentation so that realtors had more incentives to listen to the Commission. She noted that realtors often worked in multiple communities, so partnering might be a good idea. Trice stated that Lafayette might be interested in a partnership. She added that Louisville's program was different from most other communities. Ulm suggested partnering with two to three communities rather than with the state in order to maintain a little control. Chuck Thomas added that realtors would want to get certification from the program as an incentive to be involved. He volunteered to be a resource as a subcommittee member or as a presenter. Cyndi Thomas stated that one hour of credit could be possible and that partnering with other communities to present to realtors could also be possible. She added that a program on Louisville alone would not attract as much realtor participation. Haley, Cyndi Thomas, and Chuck Thomas volunteered to be on the subcommittee. Trice added that the subcommittee volunteers would have to organize themselves until she returned to work in January. Chuck Thomas stated that the next step should be reaching out to other communities. Trice stated that she would send out the contacts to the Commission, and that contacting the state CLG coordinator was a good first step. Questions for Board and Commission Applicants Trice asked the Commission to recommend changes or approval of the questions from City Clerk Muth for board and commission applicants. The proposed questions were: What is your favorite building in Louisville? Why? Louisville has a voluntary historic preservation program. In your opinion, what is the best way to encourage people to landmark buildings?
