DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
In 2009, the City Council and Springfield Historic Commission established a new
schedule for communication to better align Commission activities with Council
goals and other City initiatives. The Historic Commission applies for Certified
Local Government grant funding from the State Historic Preservation Office to
support its activities and matches that financial support with in-kind staff and
volunteer time.
Since the last joint Council/Historic Commission work session (November 2009),
the Historic Commission applied for and received $13,000 in grant funds to support
its activities from April 2010-August 2011. This year, the Commission applied for
and received $13,800 in grant funds to support its activities from April 2012 –
August 2013.
The Commission will report to Council on its accomplishments from the last joint
meeting to date and preview upcoming activities.
