NOW, THEREFORE, I, Christy Terry, Mayor of the City of Seward, do hereby proclaim May, 2020 as: NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH and do call upon our community to join their fellow citizens across the United States in recognizing and participating in this special observance. th Dated this 11 day of May, 2020. THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ______________________________ Christy Terry, Mayor 24 MEMORANDUM Meeting Date: March 12, 2020 From: Jessica Stallard, Deputy City Clerk Agenda Item: Order Robert’s Rules books for the Historic Preservation Commission touse during their term BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Per City Code 2.10.065(a), all of the boards and commissions, as well as city council, are expected to use Robert’s Rules to help them govern their meetings and work sessions. Even though Robert’s Rules is explained in code, the members of the Historic Preservation Commission (HP)have never had their own Robert’s Rules book that they could use as a guide during their term. With Robert’s Rules being the authority on all parliamentary questions, it maybe beneficial for HPto order a set of seven Robert’s Rules books, which would allow each commissionerto use this book to guide them through parliamentary procedures during their term.Through Amazon, these books cost $14.16 each, which comes out to a little under $100 total. With council approving a $2,500 budget for HP this year, the funds are available to make this purchase. RECOMMENDATION: Direct the clerk to order seven Robert’s Rules books for HP. 25 26 20202021 HP 7215-0011 10001000 Operating Supplies 7302-0011 25002500 Travel & Sub 7303-0011 15001500 Education &Train 27 2020 Historic Preservation PrioritiesReport Seward Historic Preservation Commission Reports DatePriorityResponsible PartyOutcome Annual Report to Council Annual Certified Local Government (C.L.G.)

Benoit 3-9-20 I would like to have a discussion at our meeting on 3-12-20 on the needs for planting at Hoben Park to see if it might be a good fit for the Rotary to assist as one of the Rotary’s monthly service projects. Rotary has a history of assisting with gardens such as the Cemetery Memorial garden. If it is a good fit, I already have potential support from Rotary President Nicole Lawrence, and will bring it to Rotary for consideration. In researching the minutes to see what discussions may have previously occurred about this topic, it appears there is a plan to discuss Hoben Park Beautification at the HPC April 9 meeting. I have attached previous discussions from the HPC minutes for reference if needed. History of Hoben Park Discussions since 2015 from the HPC Minutes 04152015 HPC Minutes Lasota said council requested Hoben Park be added to the Seward Registry of Historical Places in Resolution 2006-59. In response to Kingsland, Lasota said Parks& Recreation oversaw the maintenance of Hoben Park, but HP had helped with the park's fountains, planters, and the fence. Lasota said the fence hadbeen taken down due to safety concerns but she wanted to put up a new, safer fence around Hoben Park. 04182018 HPC Minutes Plan for Hoben Park beautification. Discussion amongst commissioners as to why Parks& Recreation will not water planters, possibly something to put in annual report to council. Ask Ron Long for assistance. Another possibility is to contact the Community Garden members for future assistance. This year SHPC will proceed with planting planters with receipts turned into administration for plants. Cost to be less or equal to last year, as no new maintenance needs to be done to planter linings. 05162018 HPC Minutes Plan for Hoben Park beautification. Lasota said she would plant three to four marguerite flowers for each flower bed and provide the soil. Long said he would the commission know if the city could water these plants for them. 04112019 Historic Preservation Minutes Plan for Hoben Park beautification. Seese said she had taken on this project and would be getting a project description and cost to Flaherty. Darling suggested getting the Hoben Park on the Parks& Recreation's watering plan. 01092020 HPC Packet Discusses April 9 as a meeting date to discuss Plan for Hoben Park Beautification and Support Historic Hoben Park and Assist with Planters.
