Item: Annual Preservation Awards
City Council Action Requested: Join the HPC in congratulating the property owners who
will be presented with preservation award plaques.
Background Information: Each year the HPC looks throughout the city, nominates, and
votes for a number of good examples of properly maintained or restored properties.
The HPC has enjoyed presenting these awards with the City Council for the past 18
years. Many of the properties selected are not within any of the City’s historic districts
or individually designated.
An HPC Commissioner will ask the recipients to come to the podium for their plaques
and then walk below the dais to stand with the City Councilmembers and other award
winners for a photograph.
