RE: Authorize Grant Agreement for Preservation Training
Justin Fortney, Planning Associate and HPC Specialist, has been accepted for
Preservation Leadership Training in Owatonna, June 23 to 30. This one-week intensive
course, organized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is excellent preparation
for staffing Hastings' Preservation Commission.
The City has also been awarded a $1,400 grant of funds from the U.S. Department ofthe
Interior, by the State Historic Preservation Office ofthe Minnesota Historical Society.
This will reimburse most ofthe costs: registration, lodging and meals. The balance of the
costs can be funded from the HPC budget.
Please authorize execution ofthe agreement by the Mayor and City Clerk.
