BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Every year the Seward Historic Preservation Commission (SHPC) applies for a Certified Local
Government (CLG) grant to meet the historic preservation needs of Seward.
During the September 28, 2011 work session, the SHPC wrote a grant that would fund most
commissioners to attend historical preservation training sessions to better enlighten and equip
them for HPC meetings and projects. The intent of the grant is to offer commissioners one of
two national conference training opportunities. Funds requested will enable four commissioners
and one staff to attend conference. A community event highlighting historic preservation and
encouraging community involvement will be held by the SHPC in December 2012.
Attached is the SHPC approved Resolution 2011 -003, which supports the submission of this
grant, as well as the draft resolution of support from City Council.
Intent: That Council support the Seward Historic Preservation Commission application to fund
SHPC Training and Education through the CLG grant program.
Fiscal Note: jI *:)
The estimated project costs are $23662.84 including in -kind. The grant request will cover 60%
or $14197.70 (reimbursed by SHPO) with 40% in -kind estimated at $9462.14. In -kind is
contributed by the Commissioners and staff and calculated based on the number of hours spent
completing the grant activity.
Attorney Review: Yes No X
RECOMMENDATIONS: Seward's Historic Preservation Commission recommends that the
Council support Resolution 2011 -, supporting the Historic Preservation Commission
Training and Education as the FY2012 CLG Grant application.
