Adjournment Historic Preservation Commission September 17, 2008 Regular Meeting Agenda 2 MEMORANDUM Historic Preservation Commission Date: September 17, 2008 To: Historic Preservation Commission Through: Associate Planner Donna Glenz From: Executive Liaison Anne Bailey Subject: Seward's Day Celebration Follow-Up At the August 20, 2008 Historic Preservation Meeting, the Commission discussed a 2009 Seward's Day Celebration. The Seward Pioneers had sent a letter to the City and the Historic Preservation Commission to see if there was interest in participating in a citywide Seward's Day Celebration. At the August 20~' meeting, the Commission requested more information in regards to the Pioneers project before making a decision. The small project the Pioneers are considering is to create a small display in the Elementary School, have a high tea or some other event. They are not able to take on the whole celebration. There are a lot of events occurring in 2009, so, the Commission may wish to decline participating in 2009 and partake in the Celebration in 2010. Staff recommends the Commission decide whether they would be interested in participating in a Seward's Day Celebration in 2009 or discuss this further and possibly participate in 2010. 3 ~' r= C~ Pioneers of Alaska Men's and Women's Igloos #9 PO Box 571 Seward, AK 9964 July 18, 2008 City of Seward Mayor, City Manager and City Council Members PO Box 67 Seward, AK 99664 Dear City Leaders: Re: Celebrating Seward's Day in Seward The Seward Pioneers of Alaska are interested in seeing some kind of celebration for Seward's Day in March every year. We plan to do some small project, but we would really like to see a citywide event tied in with this State holiday. This idea seems even more important as Alaskans celebrate 50 years of Statehood. The City of Sitka celebrates Seward's Day in March as well as Alaska Day in October. It is only fitting that the City of Seward would do something to honor its namesake, William H. Seward, with some kind of celebration. We encourage you, the City leaders, to give this idea serious consideration and support. Initiating a Seward's Day Celebration would be beneficial to the entire community.
