Jennifer Headtke for her inspiration to bring artists and community together in making the Seward Mural Society and Seward known as the "Mural Capital of Alaska". The Mural Society as preservationist focus on aspects of Seward's history and heritage. Tanguky Libbrecht for the continuing and extensive renovation he and his family have done on the 1905 US Army Signal Corps cable office located at 218 Sixth Ave. 2)The commission approved to place the Eide-Stotko House located at 420 Third Ave. on the Seward Register of Historic Places. As you know this home is owned by Jim and Jill Herbert was built in 1915. On March 28,2015 this site celebrated its 100th anniversary. 3)Training at the Alaska Historic Preservation Conference in October was held in Anchorage, and attended by 3 commissioners and the library-museum director. Training focus was on AK Local Gov. Preservation Programs, including Economics of Historic Preservation, Economics of Heritage Tourism, Historic Preservation Planning and Commission Procedures along with numerous other topics. 4) In 2015 the commission held 5 - Regular&Special meetings{January, March, May, September, October) in addition, numerous work sessions were scheduled attendance by commissioners both in quorum (person) and by phone. As you know, in 2015 the commissions scheduled meeting and work sessions were interrupted when there was no library administration available,due reduced to staffing. The Commission than worked with the City Clerk and City Manager, a procedure process was developed with strict guidelines that allowed SHPC to conduct public noticed work sessions without staff. The Seward Historic commission has found this method to be extremely productive. The commission is very appreciative to all who assisted to make these procedural guidelines work for us. 2015 To Current—The Commission Priorities—What we are working on! The commission has continued to schedule work sessions,volunteering numerous hours focusing on the Seward Historical Preservation Plan. Currently, we have 3 remaining sections: Community Resources, Preservation Opportunities and Challenges, and Agenda for Future Action. A final proof by the commission will be made prior to submission for review. We anticipate review by Community Development, City Administration and Council prior to submittal for approval to council. Our current priority list, Resolution 2015-041 approved by SHPC on March 18, 2015 with final approval by council on May 11, 2015 making it still a valid document. The Priorities List is on agenda for new business for discussion at our March 16th 2016 regular meeting. We anticipate an update, revision and addition of items before sending to council for approval. SHPC Needs 1—We would like to request that City Council support the Commission's request to the City Manager's office for a city staff member to record our March 16, Regular Meeting. It is an important meeting for us, on our agenda will be items to set our regular meeting schedule as well as work sessions for 2016, priority list as mentioned, etc.. As Council members are aware,we are losing a Library-Museum staff member who currently records our meetings,we have been told a replacement may take time.
