RECOMMENDATION: The City Council reinstated the Historic District Commission (HDC) on May 6, 2006 by Res. No. 78-06. Planning staff has applied for and received a Certified Local Government (CLG) grant for the past four years to pay for HDC and staff travel and training related to historic preservation. The 2009-2010 grant was $5,500. This grant awarded $5,000 to enable a staff member or Historic District Commissioner to attend a quarterly CLG meeting in North Little Rock, one Commissioner to attend the National Historic Preservation Conference in Nashville, one staff member to attend the National American Planning Association Conference in New Orleans, and one staff member to attend the State Conference in Helena -West Helena. Additionally, the City was awarded $500 to assist the Historic District Commission to produce brochures intended to educate the public on the City's historic sites and architecture in order to create a greater awareness of the City's historic assets. With limited funding to distribute among an increased number of Certified Local Governments this year, the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program designated the City of Fayetteville with $4,500 for travel and training. This will enable the City of Fayetteville to send one or more representatives of the HDC to the 2010 National Commission Forum, the 2010 National Preservation Conference, and the 2011 Arkansas Preservation Conference, and to quarterly training meetings to be announced by AHPP. BUDGET IMPACT: The City will provide in-kind services for approximately $5,862 in the form of staff time. Dara Sanders, Current Planner, will spend 15% of her time administering the grant.
