To Whom it May Concern:
The Office of History & Archaeology is accepting grant applications for historic preservation
development and pre-development projects in Alaska. All projects would need to be completed by

of Alaska buildings and structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places, individually or
as contributing properties to a historic district. Pre-development grants are for Alaska buildings and
structures on or eligible for the National Register.
The Office of History &Archaeology anticipates $150,000 will be available to award to eligible
projects. Pre-development requests are limited to $3,500 minimum and $10,000 maximum in
matching assistance. Development requests have a$10,000 minimum and $24,000 maximum in
matching assistance.
The application deadline is 12:00 noon on Thursday, January 30, 2020. The FY20 application
package is available online at hllp://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/oha/index.htm or by contacting the HPF
Grants Administrator shown below.

SPECIAL ORDERS,PRESENTATIONS,AND REPORTS
Chair Report.Wolfgang Kurtz said he attended the National Association of Preservation
Commissions Conference in Des Moines,Iowa from May 18-22,2018. They occur every two years,
and the next conference would be in Tacoma, Washington in 2020.
Travel Report on National Association of Preservation Commissions Conference.
Wolfgang Kurtz said he learned about the history of the Historic Preservation Act in 1966. The
Historic Preservation Act established the process for the National Registry of Historic Places. The
National Association of Preservation Commissions Conference increased his understanding of the
Historic Preservation Commission's relationships with the Planning&Zoning Commission and the
field of architecture. He said he gained more knowledge on what could be done locally through the
Historic Preservation Act of 1966. He visited historic sites in Iowa during the week of the
conference.
Local Historic Plants and Trees Inventory. Citizen Linda Lasota said the Historic
Preservation Commission granted her permission to continue working on the Local Historic Plants
and Trees Inventory after she left the commission, and she was working on it with Carol Griswold.
The first three trees they suggested be added to the list were Mary Beth and Andrew Koster's
Norway Maple tree at 420 Third Avenue, the Heritage Tree at Hoben Park, and the Spruce Tree at
City Hall on 410 Adams Street.
hi response to Kurtz,Lasota said the forms for these trees were ready to be distributed to the
commission but they were not signed by the city manager. They would need to be signed by the city
manager and brought to City Council as a resolution in order to add these trees to the Local Historic
Plants and Trees Inventory.
In response to Interim City Manager Jeff Bridges, Lasota said plaques had never been
awarded to historic plants or trees. In response to Bridges, Kurtz said there were no set regulations
placed on these trees.
HP Original Website. Citizen Linda Lasota said the commission learned at the May 10,
2018 HP meeting that former HP commissioner Dorene Lorenz had access to the original HP
website. For many years, the commission could not access the original HP website and had been
using the City website.In response to Bridges,Kurtz said the City of Seward owned the original HP
website and a Certified Local Government(CLG) grant was used to create it.
Friends of the Jesse Lee Home Update. Iris Darling said Sue Lang and Dorene Lorenz
were working on the Jesse Lee Home.
The commission suspended the rules to speak to Sue Lang from Friends of the Jesse Lee Home.
Sue Lang said her husband would be surveying the Jesse Lee Home in the next thirty days to
find out where the parameters were. She said the City of Seward would take possession of the Jesse

City of Seward,Alaska Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
September 19, 2018 Volume 3,Page
Lee Home on August 30, 2019 if the requirements of their contract were not met by this date. She
said the outstanding items were the hazmat abatement,and the installation of a sewer line and water
line. The plans for the school were set and ready to go. She said the 1964 earthquake hardly did any
damage to the Jesse Lee Home, and most of the damage to its infrastructure was due to aging. The
immediate goal of the Friends of the Jesse Lee Home was to get covering on the roof. Most of the
holes in the fence had been patched, and Seward Police Department was working on keeping
trespassers off the property.
In response to Kurtz, Lang said her husband was a land surveyor and was going to identify
the rebar. She said the Jesse Lee Home was destined to be a charter school and it was designed to
allow High School Juniors to spend a semester there developing their career paths. She said the
hazmat was concentrated in one area and the only floor left was in the cafeteria area. The biggest
issue was that the floor tile used was 4 % asbestos. She said the target date for completion of the
Jesse Lee Home was 2022 or 2023. She wanted to honor the legacy of the students who lived in the
Jesse Lee Home by resurrecting the building.
The commission went back on the rules.
Resurrection Bay Historical Society Update —None
Alaska Nellie Materials Update.Fred Woelkers said he needed to set up a date with Seese
and Darling to watch the Alaska Nellie tapes.
Mapping Project — Historical Properties Update. Cheryl Seese said Darling retrieved
document numbers over the summer and they worked with the Kenai Peninsula Borough to generate
homes by date and put them in chronological order.
Administration Report.Valarie Kingsland introduced Interim City Manager Jeff Bridges
and Assistant City Manager Brennan Hickok. Kingsland said a resolution to approve the 2018
Historic Preservation Commission Priorities List was being brought to council at their September 24,
2018 council meeting. A new Library Museum Curator would be starting on October 6, 2018.
Kingsland introduced Summer Louthan with the State Historic Preservation Office.
In response to Kurtz,Interim City Manager Jeff Bridges said he came to Seward from the
town of Wethersfield, Connecticut, and Wethersfield had the largest historic district in the state of
Connecticut.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS

September 19, 2018 Volume 3,Page
Kurtz said Woelkers was working with the other agencies to get the Historic Preservation
Commission on their list of people to contact when Section 106 projects cross their desk.
The commission suspended the rules to speak to Summer Louthan from the State Historic
Preservation Office.
In response to Woelkers, Summer Louthan said the State of Alaska was one of the final
reviewing parties and the commission was one of their consulting parties, as well as any other local
Historic Preservation Committees that might have interest in these projects. In response to Krug,
Louthan said the federal agency was submitting these projects to the City of Seward.
The commission went back on the rules.

City of Seward,Alaska Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
September 19, 2018 Volume 3,Page
Summer Louthan said the State Historic Preservation monitored the Certified Local
Government(CLG) grants every five years, and they mainly looked at Section 106 projects 45-50
years old and older. The federal agency determines if the properties are eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places and recommends eligible properties to the State Historic Preservation
Office. In response to Kurtz, Louthan said the radio building was not eligible to be placed on the
National Register of Historic Places, because it lacked the integrity to convey its significance. In
response to Woelkers, she said HP's area of responsibility for the CLG grants were within the
Seward city limits and did not include Primrose.
In response to Seese, Louthan said she could give training on Section 106 projects, CLG
grant training, the National Registry of Historic Places, or historic preservation in general.

2018 Historic Preservation Award
Nominations for local historic preservation efforts accepted now!
This annual award recognizes local preservation efforts and encourages
community understanding and appreciation of Seward's history.
For over 100 years, many Seward citizens have enriched our sense of
place and community. Without the hard work and civic pride of those
that came before us, Seward would not be the exemplary city it is
today.
Do you know an individual or organization that deserves special
recognition for their work in preserving Seward history? Then
nominate them for the Historic Preservation Award!
• Nominations must be submitted by March 16, 2018.
• Forms are available at the City Clerk's office and on the City of
Seward Historic Preservation Commission webpage at

2019 Year End SHPC Report to Council
Projects & Events
May Historic Presentation Month Brown & Hawkins SHPC Historic Award for Cliff
& Linda Krug
CLG Grant was not chosen but SHPC has reapplied requesting less money for less
projects. There was a great deal of grants applied for so there were many denied.
2019 Special Projects
The Seward Inventory of Historic Sites is an ongoing project which can be
provided to council. The list includes properties from 1903 thru 1942. There has
been some difficulty in finding the "Document Number" for each property. The
next step will be to inventory historic properties from 1942 through 50 years.
Extend Downtown Historic District Boundaries
This too is a project that will require time and coordinated effort for SHPC and
then in combination with P&Z and the public and then finally for Council's
approval. With the addition of Sue Ward to SHPC and her passion for all things
Historic work has already begun. A committee was formed at the
September/October meeting which consists of Iris Darling, Tanguy L and Sue
Ward; the Committee researched Juneau's Historic Presentation Plan and with
their permission are working on utilizing what can apply to Seward's
Downtown Historic District. Commissioner Ward gave a presentation of
Juneau's Downtown Historic Plan/Overlay to P&Z in October. On November
19t" Commissioner Ward joined P&Z for a joint work session to discuss ideas,
issues, application and guidelines versus requirements for building standards in
the Downtown Historic District. P&Z responded that SHPC was premature to
have a joint work session as there is a lot of research of existing code that must
be done etc. before having another joint work session.
In creating the Downtown Historic Overlay with Guidelines for Building and or
Rebuilding, Restructuring or Remodeling these changes and additions will
update and add to Seward's Historic Preservation Plan.
53
Pursue Installation of Historic Signage
This too is a work in progress. Further research is required for design,
distribution and installation of street signs in collaboration with Public Works,
other City departments and Administration. SHPC has identified useful and
pleasing designs for the signage itself. Funding is in a holding pattern as we
wait on approval for a CLG Grant.
SHPC Commission Website
Since the City is creating a new site for all departments SHPC has determined
to put its energies into this site rather than to create its own. As far as
recovering SHPC's Website, it cannot be done. The service that created it does
not have the necessary "key" to the site. However, the information and the
pictures that Valarie Kingsland added to the existing City site are quite good.
Ongoing updates will occur as new information is uncovered.
Public Outreach
Have not yet met with P&Z for identification and protection of local historic
and archaeological resources.
Enhance understanding of the economic benefits of Heritage Tourism. Plans &
ideas for this are dependent on the receipt of the CLG Grant.
In September SHPC did a Public Tour of two Historic Properties, Brown &
Hawkins and The Cable House. It was very interesting.
Doug Capra gave a presentation on Artist Kent Rockwell and his adventure on
Fox Island and how the celebration of 2019 in August went. He also previewed
hopes and plans for the final Centennial Celebration in August of 2020 (2018,
2019 & 2020 are celebrated).
*CLG Grant submissions will continue as appropriate.*
