City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Justin Fortney, City Planner
Date: May 20, 2019
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 19
years. Many of the properties selected are not within any of the City’s historic districts
or individually designated.
This year there will be metal plaques awarded commemorating two properties as
Century Homes. These two homes selected happen to be the only existing homes
constructed in 1919, exactly 100 years ago this year. These exterior mounted metal
plaques will generally be made available to any homeowner for purchase ($100), whose
home is at least a century old.
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.
