Agenda Item: Historic Preservation Award Nominations
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In 1995 the Council passed a resolution approving the Historic Preservation
Commission's resolution that proposed initiating an annual award recognizing
individuals in the community for their contributions to the preservation of Seward's
history. In the February 16, 2011 regular meeting, the commission passed a new
resolution (2011 -001) with corrections and updates.
The resolution states that award nomination forms must be returned by April 1 of each
year, so the award may be presented in May.
The deadline has passed, and zero nominations have been given to Seward Community
Library and the City Clerk's Office.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In light of the lack of nominations from the public, staff recommends that the
Commission move forward and present the HPC Award in May 2012.
