BACKGROUND
In an effort to enhance the working relationship between the Historical Preservation Board and Historic Littleton, Inc., staff is recommending that HPB work with HLI to establish a more formalized agreement to continue to promote historic preservation in Littleton.
To this end, recently, Chair Grove and Vice-chair Price met with staff to start a list of shared responsibilities between the HPB and HLI. The goal is to set forth expectations for joint projects and activities between the two entities, which will help to establish efficiencies and improved coordination around promoting historic preservation in the community. The final work product will be a contract. The process to get there is as follows:
Ø HPB discussion on roles of HLI and HPB on joint projects (see draft, below)
(HPB meeting, December 18, 2017)
Joint meeting/s between HPB and HLI to discuss and finalize roles
(Date TBD)
Creation of a contract between HPB and HLI
(Final outcome)
HPB AND HLI ROLES ON JOINT PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
The following outline is for the HPB study session discussion. Also, the president of HLI has been invited to attend the study session. It is anticipated this is the first in several conversations between HPB and HLI.
Outreach at Community Events
HPB and HLI have reached out to the community during events such as Western Welcome Week and city council’s Meet, Greet and Eats. Moving forward, HPB proposes to continue these activities and may or may not join in with HLI in their efforts. HPB and HLI joint outreach opportunities shall:
• Be discussed at least one month in advance between HPB and HLI to allow adequate time for planning.
• Provide city staff with a minimum of one month for any requests for brochures or other items.
Outreach to Historic Property Owners
• HPB encourages HLI to reach out to property owners to discuss the historic significance of their property and the city’s historic preservation program.
• Following contact with a property owner, HLI may refer them to staff to learn more about the city’s historic preservation program, including benefits and obligations of historic designation and the process for landmark designation.
• HPB members, from time to time, may forward any historic properties they deem as candidates for historic landmark designation.
Walking Tours
HPB envisions HLI taking the lead on walking tours. HPB would like to participate as volunteers, either for training of tour guides, leading a tour, or assisting with information as people arrive for a tour.
Historic Preservation Awards
HLI shall continue to take the lead on the historic preservation awards event.
• HLI shall generally hold the awards event every other year
• HLI shall contact city staff with any assistance on obtaining historic surveys, lists of properties that have recently undergone rehabilitation, brochures or other information. HLI shall allow for a one-month turn around for staff to assemble the information and or brochures.
• HPB members shall be encouraged to attend the event.
Liaisons
HPB and HLI will each designate a liaison and a backup to attend each other’s meetings.
• Liaisons shall be provided an opportunity at each meeting to present information that may be of interest to members.
• HLI shall email its meeting minutes to city staff.
• HPB minutes are posted on the city website and HLI may access them there.
