1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
 So, the time is now 5.36, we've determined we have a forum, so we're going to call to order the meeting.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000
 The City of Denton meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission at 5.36, January 23rd, Monday.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,000
 So we're going to start with the flags, so let us do the Pledge of Allegiance.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:36,000
 I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands,

5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000
 one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, except the seniors.

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:55,000
 On the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state, under God, one and indivisible.

7
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
 Welcome everyone, I hope you have a nice new year in store.

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:13,000
 So, I think our first item is HLC 23-008, consideration of the minutes from the last meeting.

9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:20,000
 Has anybody got any additions, comments, any changes to the minutes?

10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
 If somebody does not recognize a change, I'll move approval of the minutes.

11
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
 Second.

12
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
 All right, all in favor, please.

13
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
 Aye.

14
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
 Aye, anybody opposed?

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
 Passes unanimously.

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
 Monica, don't forget to sign, I'll get you to sign, there's somebody to sign.

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
 All right, so moving on to the second item, this may be our longest thing for the day,

18
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
 is to elect a Chair and a Vice Chair for the Historic Landmark Commission.

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
 And there is an agenda sheet, oh, one right there, and maybe a done.

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
 Roy has gone out, he's resigned from the committee for health reasons,

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
 and hopefully we will send him a nice thank you card and get well soon card.

22
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
 He did a great long amount of service on the committee.

23
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
 So, we need to talk about Chair and a Vice Chair.

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
 There will be no replacement for Roy because he's from the district, I guess,

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
 that has no representative currently.

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
 And that will not happen until an election in May so that we have to, you know,

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
 do something now and then in June perhaps when somebody gets elected,

28
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
 have no idea, that will then add one more person on.

29
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
 So, we need to talk kind of about ideas of who should Chair, who should Vice Chair,

30
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
 with a look towards the future because I will be rolling off, my term ends,

31
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
 this is the end of my term.

32
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
 So, what you would be perfect to fill in then until we can get whatever that is.

33
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
 We need to bring in somebody though that at the end of this,

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
 at least as Vice Chair, that's ready to pick up the next going around.

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
 Not that I don't think anybody is not capable.

36
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
 I can do that or we can have somebody else.

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
 Let's just have a discussion.

38
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
 Well, isn't the most important thing to do to have a Chair,

39
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
 so that if you were Chair, volunteers?

40
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
 I think it would be better if we had a Chair that wouldn't have to roll off

41
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
 and redo it again, if that was possible.

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
 I'm not sure how you would explain to me, I'm a little slow today.

43
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
 You want a new Chair, that's right.

44
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
 What I'm saying is, if we do that, are we saying we'll have to have a Chair election again?

45
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
 Oh, we do it every year anyway.

46
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
 So, if you ended up electing Mary today, say for instance,

47
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
 when her term came to close on August 31st,

48
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
 and say whoever her council member is decided to replace her immediately,

49
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
 then we would have to have a new election at that point.

50
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
 But if they don't replace her immediately, then we're okay.

51
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
 Until January of 2024.

52
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
 That would apply to a Chair and Vice Chair.

53
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
 And usually they aren't all that happy to replace somebody,

54
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
 because they have to find somebody to replace them with,

55
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
 and that's not always easy.

56
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
 That makes sense.

57
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
 I thought you were saying we would have to do now and then again in May,

58
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
 and I thought that would make sense.

59
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
 We should get a new person on in June, if we're lucky.

60
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
 However, if the new council member is able to fill their slots across.

61
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
 Okay, that makes sense.

62
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
 Otherwise, we're stuck with a quorum of five, even though there are only six members.

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
 It would be a quorum of four still, but only six members.

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
 Okay.

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
 Yeah, it's a little more difficult.

66
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
 I mean, my preference is to have somebody that sort of is tightly associated

67
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
 with the historic district be either Chair or Vice Chair.

68
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
 That's just a preference I personally have.

69
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
 That's certainly not a requirement.

70
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,000
 And I guess Kason isn't here, so he is not eligible to be in the current election.

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
 Correct.

72
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
 I guess do we want to continue to talk about it, or do we want just to --

73
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
 You have to nominate, I think, nominations.

74
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
 But I'm saying do we want to nominate right away,

75
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,000
 or do we want to continue to discuss who's possible?

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
 I'll just say I really would not be considered.

77
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
 Oh, absolutely.

78
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
 I can't be considered.

79
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
 I'm going to be fighting with the city forever.

80
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
 Okay.

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
 Well, that took out who I was going to have.

82
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
 That's who I was going to do.

83
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
 You.

84
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
 That's who I like better.

85
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
 Cassandra, Angie, me, that, yeah, that's what we're looking at.

86
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
 I think we're looking at Mary and you guys.

87
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
 Oh, are you?

88
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
 Yeah, I don't know.

89
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
 It's just the three of us that we can talk about right now.

90
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
 Well, can we do one on one?

91
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
 Let's see.

92
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
 Who's not here?

93
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
 Kason.

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
 Kason.

95
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
 And so he's not eligible for out of recession.

96
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
 Unlike academics, where you will put people in if they get nominated,

97
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
 but they're not present here, you have to be present.

98
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
 Yes.

99
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
 I was just thinking.

100
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
 Well, I didn't wait and you would be it when you walked in the door.

101
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
 Can I add for clarification?

102
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
 Is he just not eligible because he's not here to be part of the conversation?

103
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
 Yes.

104
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
 The other option that I would just put out there is that if the commission

105
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
 wants additional time and consideration to think about it,

106
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
 I mean, we can always repost this item for the next meeting.

107
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
 And if you're wanting to include case and in that conversation,

108
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
 obviously, we've got Mary for this evening to carry us through because

109
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
 she is our vice chair.

110
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
 But if so, we can either take action tonight or if it's up to which the

111
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
 commission to postpone it to the next meeting.

112
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
 Marcella, I would think we would have that action.

113
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
 We can still take action on Mary and elevate her and have just one vacancy.

114
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
 Is that correct?

115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
 Yes, that could be an option.

116
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
 Yeah.

117
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
 I mean, if I was going to make a suggestion,

118
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
 I'm happy to finish up the term.

119
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
 I would suggest Angie since she and I know she lives in the neighborhood.

120
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
 That means that it would open it up for case and to come in if he wants to

121
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
 join in in the summer to do to do that job.

122
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
 But I'm perfectly open.

123
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
 Angie is willing to take the chair.

124
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
 That would be fun.

125
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
 I'm happy where I'm at.

126
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
 Yeah, okay.

127
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
 You know, it's good for me because I may be traveling somewhere.

128
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
 All right.

129
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
 So let's do it.

130
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
 You want to nominate?

131
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
 Yes.

132
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
 Yes.

133
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
 Please give a nomination.

134
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
 I nominate Angie chair.

135
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
 Okay.

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
 Commission.

137
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
 Any second?

138
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
 Do we have the second half?

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
 Okay, good.

140
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
 All right.

141
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
 Good.

142
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
 Let's clarify that.

143
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
 All right.

144
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
 All those in favor.

145
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
 Let's vote for.

146
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
 All right.

147
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
 Anybody opposed?

148
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
 All right.

149
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
 Good.

150
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
 It passes unanimously.

151
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
 All right.

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
 And did you vote?

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
 Did everyone vote for Mary to be vice chair?

154
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
 Is that was part of the vote?

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
 It was not.

156
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
 There was no vote on that.

157
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
 There is.

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
 You have to be re-appointed over here.

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
 Oh, yeah.

160
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
 Okay.

161
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
 So that wasn't part of the original motion.

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
 Yes.

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
 I'll have to do a second motion.

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
 I'll do a second motion.

165
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
 For Mary to be the vice chair.

166
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
 Second.

167
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
 All right.

168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
 So that's good.

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
 So you want to start?

170
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
 Should she finish?

171
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
 What we have done with other boards and commissions that have been involved with is we've had

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
 the new appointee take effect at the next meeting so allow Mary to continue serving

173
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
 the meetings.

174
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
 Yes.

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
 Yeah.

176
00:08:46,000 --> 00:09:01,000
 No.

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
 The motion just now.

178
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
 Yeah.

179
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
 We didn't vote all together.

180
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
 Oh, yeah.

181
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
 Okay.

182
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
 So.

183
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
 Yes.

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
 All in favor of Mary.

185
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
 Okay.

186
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
 Yeah.

187
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
 Sure.

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
 Why not?

189
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
 It's an easy job.

190
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
 Okay.

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
 All right.

192
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
 Okay.

193
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
 Now.

194
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
 So is that passed unanimously?

195
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
 Anybody?

196
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
 Let's see.

197
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
 What do we have left to do?

198
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
 We've done with all of our consideration items.

199
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
 Yes.

200
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
 We have a work session to discuss and determine the opportunities for public outreach and education

201
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,000
 by the Historic Landmark Commission and do you have a, do you think you sent us out as

202
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
 email?

203
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
 Yes.

204
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
 I sent.

205
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
 Last week or I think two weeks ago I sent out an email just saying start thinking of

206
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
 ideas and I shared the preliminary plans for Preservation Month.

207
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
 So just wanted to see, because I know this is a topic that's been on our matrix for a

208
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
 while.

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
 There has been discussion prior of wanting to do something for Preservation Month.

210
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
 I did receive from the county that they do not want to actually host an event.

211
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
 They just want to volunteer.

212
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
 So that's their plans as the County Historical Commission.

213
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
 You all are allowed to obviously do the same thing.

214
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
 I would love to have the HLC participate, but I wanted to bring that forward because

215
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,000
 it is something that we continuously talk about as a commission and as staff and seeing

216
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000
 how we want to kind of get out into the public and educate everyone about historic preservation.

217
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000
 So I don't know if anyone came with ideas today or had any suggestions that they were

218
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
 thinking about.

219
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:50,000
 But as you can see kind of from what we have so far, we have a series of events.

220
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
 We have the proclamation which will take place on May 2nd.

221
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
 Myself and the county, Kim Cupid, will be doing a lecture called Revealing Lost Denton.

222
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
 Chuck Bollinger from the library and Kim Cupid also from the county.

223
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
 They are going to be doing an IOOF cemetery tour.

224
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
 Anna Kramer from UNT is going to be doing a lecture about the portals of Texas history

225
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
 research.

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000
 And then Integrated Environmental Solutions which is based in Denton.

227
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
 They are going to do a headstone conservation workshop trying to figure out the time.

228
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
 But that's going to be at the MLK Center in Oakwood Cemetery.

229
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
 It's going to be about a three hour workshop which will be great.

230
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
 They are going to be cleaning headstones.

231
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
 Brent Heider, he's a Fort Worth homeowner.

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
 He's going to talk about -- do a restoration lecture.

233
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
 We have Denton County's International Museum Day.

234
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
 And then Stronger Denton, Denton Main Street Association in the city are going to do

235
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
 Imagine the Possibilities tour which is mainly centered around vacancies and real

236
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
 estate.

237
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
 And they are still trying to figure out some of the timing so that's why it's in gray

238
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
 in the locations.

239
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
 Also they are going to be doing their historic bark roll.

240
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
 Denton Parks and Recreation, they are going to do a clear creek walking tour centered

241
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
 around landscape -- cultural landscapes and their importance to the community.

242
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000
 And then Chamber of Farmers is going to be ending it with a Denton trivia.

243
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
 So these are just -- these are the events we have so far.

244
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
 Obviously I would love for the Historic Landmark Commission to participate in some

245
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
 way, whether that's also volunteering for these events, similar to what the county is

246
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
 doing, or coming up with an event of your own.

247
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
 But just wanted to share this with you all.

248
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
 So the county members are participating -- are they volunteering for just various --

249
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
 Yes.

250
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
 -- whatever they choose to -- okay.

251
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000
 Yes, I spoke to Gary and he's their chair and he spoke to their commission and they

252
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
 stated that they were going to take whatever the finalized schedule was and pick and choose

253
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
 amongst the commission which ones they participated in as a volunteer.

254
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
 They weren't ready to actually host an event at this time.

255
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
 Okay.

256
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000
 I've found somebody in Fort Worth also that is in, I think, the Fairmont District who

257
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
 is interested in talking about restoration and who actually does restoration as opposed

258
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
 to moving things.

259
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
 Oh, right.

260
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
 So Brent Heider, he reached out to us because he's the one who restored his home.

261
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
 Oh, yeah.

262
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
 He did it personally?

263
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
 Mm-hmm.

264
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
 Wow.

265
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
 I'm impressed.

266
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
 Supposedly it took him about 10 years.

267
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
 Yeah.

268
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
 So he had reached out to the county and the county asked him if he'd be interested in

269
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
 doing a restoration lecture, but that's an opportunity for that.

270
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
 Maybe they could pair up together.

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
 Right, exactly.

272
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
 Since they're both from the Fort Worth area.

273
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
 They'll send you the information.

274
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
 Well, I think the thing that we have to really work on is how to get the word out, how to

275
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:49,000
 let the public know without our newspaper, which we are effectively without one now.

276
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
 You know, we used to have a newspaper and it had a calendar inside the front page.

277
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
 Okay.

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
 I could read and see what was going on, what was coming up.

279
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
 That's no longer in existence.

280
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000
 Now, we all, like the senior center, it tries to publish, send out a few things and lay

281
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
 things on the counter and all.

282
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
 It's not nearly as effective as having some place where people can just go and see what's

283
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
 happening and what's coming up and all.

284
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
 I don't know.

285
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,000
 I think it's a problem for everybody, but I'm not sure that anybody is really working

286
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
 on figuring out how to, because everybody seems to think we're all going to, what is

287
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
 that little site you go to?

288
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
 Facebook or Instagram or something.

289
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
 Yeah, or those things and finding out about these.

290
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
 And most people aren't.

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
 And they take place and then you tell somebody and they say, oh, I wish I had known.

292
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
 Well, we could do a little next door.

293
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
 I mean, that's what I want to do.

294
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
 Yeah.

295
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
 And what about the web page is like the Denton, Discover Denton.

296
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
 You can post events on there.

297
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
 How often have you been to Discover Denton?

298
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
 It's not a Facebook.

299
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
 I'm just thinking about non-Facebook social media.

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
 Yeah, anything.

301
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
 That's why next door is at least a few more people.

302
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
 So do you feel that flyer?

303
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000
 So when you walk into some of the city buildings, we have flyers posted in the front window.

304
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000
 Do you feel like those are a good addition or they're not really doing anything?

305
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
 How often do we walk in the front door?

306
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,000
 So like in the senior center, if we put in the front window, so right when you're walking

307
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
 in that front door and you see a flyer, would you read it or would you just keep walking?

308
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
 Most likely we would read it.

309
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
 Okay.

310
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
 If it wasn't grocery stores or pharmacies or something.

311
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
 Coffee shops.

312
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
 Coffee shops.

313
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
 Okay.

314
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,000
 Coffee shops.

315
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,000
 Cameron, I had mentioned some time ago, I didn't follow up with you about it, but were there

316
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
 any discussions further about creating some type of activity or whatever to do within

317
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
 the schools?

318
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
 We talked about that when we were meeting via Zoom about making the kids, getting the

319
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:21,000
 kids and as well as the teachers aware and having some type of activity, be it a fact

320
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,000
 sheet or whatever, withdraw kids.

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
 I mean, into finding out.

322
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:40,000
 So if the first part of the month, if there had been something, first part of May, excuse

323
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
 me, would have been something that had gone to the teachers to say, will you engage your

324
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
 students in this activity?

325
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
 Maybe have it set up based on grade level.

326
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
 And when you talk about like a cemetery tour, what would it have been like to have had something

327
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000
 made it for high schoolers and make it seem like it was something spooky, fun, TikTok-ish?

328
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
 But you know, I think you're right because I think I'm all for the education piece of

329
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
 it, but I don't want it to stop in elementary school because I think sometimes it just falls

330
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
 flat down.

331
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
 Yeah, I'm thinking about all like elementary middle.

332
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
 And so like you have a grade, like I said, TikTok thing for both the middle school and

333
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000
 some of the elementary kids on there too, you know, and have a, you know, spooky historic

334
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
 tour.

335
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
 Or what is it?

336
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
 What was it?

337
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
 Pac-Man or something you could play?

338
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
 Pokemon Go.

339
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
 Was that what it was?

340
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
 Where they were all going through?

341
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
 Pokemon.

342
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000
 Yeah, I don't do it, but that's what everybody loves.

343
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
 You can put them all in historic.

344
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
 They probably wouldn't, the neighbors would not like us.

345
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
 The cemetery is really a very historical cemetery.

346
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
 It is.

347
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:59,000
 Maybe work out something, maybe with the teen library because like my child, she goes to

348
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000
 this after school thing, but a lot of kids now are just walking up to the North Branch

349
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
 Library.

350
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
 Okay.

351
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
 And you know, something there for them to possibly do that the library can introduce

352
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
 them to.

353
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
 I would say so, but not listed.

354
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:27,000
 The only thing that deals with younger children education thus far is a story time.

355
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
 And that's usually just ages one through five.

356
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
 And it's stories about preserving different cultural traditions.

357
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000
 But we let the library handle that specifically because they have a woman who's in charge

358
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000
 of story time for children and child education.

359
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
 So she picks the stories and we just tell her it's preservation month.

360
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
 You choose which books you want to read.

361
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000
 But we hadn't pursued anything with the schools because I know that the county commission

362
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
 goes into the schools, but I don't know what their programming is.

363
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000
 And that's something I did not speak to the county about or the library this year.

364
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
 What about Parks and Rec?

365
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000
 I mean, a lot of kids go to the Parks and Rec thing.

366
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
 So that's why they're doing the Clear Creek walking tour because Parks and Rec didn't

367
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
 participate last year and we wanted them to participate in some capacities.

368
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000
 So they felt that cultural landscapes would be a good topic to cover in terms of preservation

369
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
 because we don't really cover that specifically.

370
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
 Most of what's been covered thus far last year and this year is the built environment,

371
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
 which is great, but preservation is a lot more than that.

372
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000
 So we're trying to kind of get outside of just the built environment itself.

373
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:55,000
 So that's why there's a headstone conservation and then obviously the Clear Creek walking tour.

374
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
 But I think you have a really good point.

375
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
 I think that is something that definitely needs to be done.

376
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
 I think that would be something that we need to see what the county does.

377
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,000
 We don't step on their toes and see what their educational, I guess,

378
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
 resources that they do right now with the schools is.

379
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,000
 Because I do think they have learning days where they go in and teach a class from what I understand.

380
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
 Don't quote me on that.

381
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
 I will do more research is basically what I'm saying.

382
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
 But I think you bring up a good point.

383
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
 So I think that's definitely something that we could do that wasn't that's not currently on this list.

384
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:47,000
 We talked to about in some way making making them aware that your position is even a thing because who?

385
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
 Even in high school, I want to go up to be a city.

386
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:59,000
 Historic preservation officer. No, I didn't know what it was either. So I'm not offended.

387
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
 That's true. I think kind of like a career fair.

388
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
 I don't know if the city does the career fair.

389
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:18,000
 But if they were to make this cool video with you saying who you are and what you do and maybe have a couple of places that are considered to be the most prominent.

390
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
 I don't know if prominent is a term historic places in Denton.

391
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:35,000
 You know, did you know that back in eighteen something something that the house that you passed by on Oak Street was built by so and so so and so something like that.

392
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,000
 And maybe the teachers would consider showing or, you know, making it.

393
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:56,000
 If you make a video, then you don't have to try to go to all the schools, but as the teachers, they're having a career fair type or talking about preservation to do that video in May.

394
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
 That's a great idea. I'm playing at the movie theaters.

395
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:12,000
 Like they did, we go to the movie and they have the police officer on there and he said, you know, lock it or whatever.

396
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
 A lot of makeup on me.

397
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:29,000
 That's a great idea. I think that's a really good idea, especially with all going to since it's not just city.

398
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:39,000
 It's supposed to be counted wide. It's something that, you know, is hard as, you know, staff and HLC and even the county.

399
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000
 It's educating that younger audience and letting them informing them what preservation is because a lot of them don't know what that is.

400
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000
 They don't know, especially I feel like a lot of them are surrounded by social media.

401
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,000
 So they're like, oh, I'm going to be like a journalist who does social media or, you know, the next tick tock star.

402
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
 I'm not sure. I still don't really understand tick tock, but don't worry.

403
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:13,000
 You can't use it. So it's not allowed. But I think you have a really good point. And so I made no awareness about your position because I remember telling you earlier on when I was impressed with your credentials.

404
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000
 I didn't know that was a thing, you know, and some of the positions I've had in the past, I didn't go upset.

405
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
 I wanted to do that because I didn't know it was a thing.

406
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,000
 I think it's great. I think it's a good early.

407
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000
 Did the newspaper ever air your interview? I never got noticed.

408
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:33,000
 Let me let me check on that. Okay. Yeah, I typed in a few keywords that I thought maybe I could find something.

409
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
 Okay. But I didn't find anything. Okay.

410
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
 So they just did the transition across. Yeah, I know it was. Yeah.

411
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
 Hmm. Yeah. Well, I'll ask her the new. Okay.

412
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
 There's also a new body. By the way, John didn't.

413
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:57,000
 U.N.T. is publishing what it's worth. Is there a way for us to promote the restoration lecture?

414
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,000
 And the reason I say that is I really feel like an historic district that we have.

415
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:16,000
 That is something that is very much of an interest of people trying to even keep up with our restore historic structures, even even commercial buildings.

416
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
 So, I mean, I don't know.

417
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:29,000
 Thoughts on. Well, I was going to say people maybe had to put in for a COA in the last two years, but that wouldn't hit some of the people that I was saying.

418
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000
 I don't know. I'm just thinking if all these other things I think are fabulous.

419
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,000
 But I'm thinking as a homeowner, Home Depot and yes, something like Home Depot.

420
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
 But even if they're not going to Home Depot, something that they're thinking about.

421
00:24:44,000 --> 00:25:01,000
 For them, along with that restoration lecture, not saying with it at the same time or something, but just knowing processes, knowing COA, knowing the commission here on those types of things.

422
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:12,000
 I think almost I mean, even if we can almost host like reception for the people in historic districts or even something like that, just something that would be.

423
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,000
 And I think I know I definitely think that's something that's important.

424
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:30,000
 You know, I'm doing it over Paul to the website, but that's not something that people always check out in terms of you, especially when it comes to certificates of appropriateness.

425
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:45,000
 So I think that's definitely something that it would be great to gather everyone who's in a local historic district or even the National Register District, or even just owns a historic property and say come one, come all.

426
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
 Let's have a discussion about restoring your historic properties and what that process looks like.

427
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,000
 And then if you're within a local historic district, this is how your process kind of changes.

428
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:06,000
 You do have some other hoops that you have to jump through, but, you know, it is really to preserve that sense of place and identity of what was and where it's going in the future.

429
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
 And to me it would be for information, not question and answer. Correct.

430
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:28,000
 And because I think it was always the historic tour at Christmas time and there's one cover that was from the famous artist there was an artist and didn't have painted all these beautiful watercolors on the historic district homes.

431
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:39,000
 Oh yeah, as a lady as a lady and you know I saw her house I didn't realize it was associated but there's a beautiful picture of a house that used to be on the corner of oak.

432
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:53,000
 And I don't know if it was Denton, or where the doctor's office is now I forget which street that is. And it was incredibly beautiful Victorian, and it was torn down to make.

433
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:11,000
 It was torn down just to put up churches pastors on what you know it's just this house was beautiful, it just breaks my heart that you know I think we need to encourage and show what happens, would you rather look at this or would you rather look at this situation

434
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
 just trying to encourage people.

435
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
 So that's this different situation.

436
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:32,000
 Well, come on, a single, a single flat roofed house is kind of, but that's kind of marry what we're going to be covering the revealing lost and so we're going to be doing just photos of what didn't look like in the past and revealing to people

437
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,000
 what they are now, whether the structure still there or if it's a parking lot or if it's, you know, the school or whatever it may be.

438
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:53,000
 So we're going to just kind of take people through that before and after, just so that people can see the change of doesn't over time, and maybe have a discussion of why preservation is important.

439
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:01,000
 Obviously in some cases it's inevitable that you redevelop areas, it happens it's the only way that city grows.

440
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:15,000
 But at the same time, there are those instances where you really did lose, you know, a gem that you can never replace and get back. So those are those kind of conversations that we're hoping to have with that lecture specifically

441
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:35,000
 and including like the cities, like, I don't know, grapevine and McKinney and how much economic advantage they had because they say historic areas, all people says Frisco is growing but it has no history whatsoever or McKinney got really moving just because of the downtown.

442
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:46,000
 And instead of promoting some of our properties not necessarily historic but like done by artists from all over like O'Neill Ford's. Oh yes.

443
00:28:46,000 --> 00:29:05,000
 That's right. It is going and whatever this is that they plan to do with city hall I'm sure he'll roll over twice and grave and we'll have to while we won't know he ever did that building in the first place it'll bear no relation what it started out as.

444
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:24,000
 So, I'll make sure I did all this work in San Antonio and I'm a native San Antonio and so he was honored when I know I haven't seen that I'll try to bring any other.

445
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:35,000
 I'll say this is a really good discussion I have lots of good notes taking I can see myself as a lot of notes as well.

446
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:48,000
 I guess just as a, I think I heard my next neighbor was telling me that she was getting her garden ready for historic debt was doing a garden tour in April so it might be something that we can piggyback on to get people to, you know, come to

447
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:55,000
 and we could put notices up and those venues about what we were doing.

448
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:07,000
 And if, if we do go further with that restoration lecture like that for our historic districts to, if we, if we did that, I would want to add in that tax incentive credit.

449
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
 Yes, yes. Okay.

450
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
 That I think a lot of people don't know about.

451
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
 But it's mainly for businesses.

452
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:24,000
 Is it the one for specifically designated properties at the local level or you're talking about the state and federal, I'm talking about if you spend so much money on your home, okay, just confirming.

453
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
 Okay. Oh, the home that's that's so she's talking about the local.

454
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:48,000
 So, which is businesses and residential so local. Okay. I think that'd be great. I think that's definitely something we want to advertise and tell people that, you know, you have this opportunity to take advantage of this, especially if you designate error, or you have a historically significant property.

455
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:00,000
 So, just know that's out there disposal. Yeah, the question our problem with communication now is the fact that we have too many of those.

456
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:19,000
 Toxin, and whoever else it is, and all of those is there isn't a one source or two, which was what we've had before we've had one newspaper or two newspapers. That was about it. And there it was.

457
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:29,000
 So, right. But now it's so fragmented and I just cannot tell you the number of times I hear people say I didn't know about that.

458
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:39,000
 So what have people asked you specifically Lenny that where they wish they could have seen it, just so that I can make note of it, aside from a non existent newspaper.

459
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:57,000
 Okay. Okay. That was just, that was just the thing now with the kids, but you have to choose between all those tick tocks and Instagram and Facebook and all those, because different ones are looking at different ones all the time.

460
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:08,000
 Right. Use them all get a social media czar. Well, as I say, I'm just gonna marry I'm just gonna give you the next storm and be like, here's the calendar, can you put it on next door.

461
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000
 I do next door a little.

462
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,000
 So, any more discussion or showing move on to the next item.

463
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:38,000
 We answered your questions. I'd say move on. Okay. I got lots of good notes and I think I have a direction moving forward in terms of the restoration lecture and then obviously bringing awareness and looking at recordings but also seeing how we can get involved with the schools.

464
00:32:38,000 --> 00:33:01,000
 I just had one idea that came to mind regarding the restoration lecture camera problem we did the postcards, like Lenny all the social media aspects that are out there but we that might be something we can go old school on and postcard because I was thinking that the postcard that we've sent out to at least all of the local districts.

465
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:18,000
 Yeah, like, I thought it was nice attention. I seem to recall that was a very nominal cost for us that we could probably look at, see if we could do something that way just as a gold school means of communicating out.

466
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:35,000
 Just let people know that preservation months coming and then specifically restoration lecture if you have historic property definitely tune in, come and attend to Angie's point I mean it's right, the opportunities for dissemination of information key programs but with

467
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:43,000
 people having properties within our various historic districts that would be a good way to maybe capture their attention in letting you know that event.

468
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
 Okay, sounds good.

469
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
 Good ideas.

470
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
 People have been thinking.

471
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
 I love it.

472
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:09,000
 So to move on to HLC 23 dash 005 discuss point a commissioner to the definition ad hoc committee.

473
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:25,000
 This isn't here.

474
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
 There anyone that would like to join.

475
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,000
 What do you do.

476
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:42,000
 Hello.

477
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:56,000
 Right, well we have a list of things that we're going through, trying to define that tax credit.

478
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:16,000
 So the role of the definitions ad hoc committee is to, first of all, was to define what improvements and rest are improvements and restorations are to receive tax incentives to those tax credits.

479
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,000
 First defining those because that was a council question.

480
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:27,000
 So that was first and foremost, yeah.

481
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
 And then you have to go.

482
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:45,000
 The second was looking at sub chapter two and going through some chapter two specifically in terms of historic processes and procedures and seeing what needs to be updated for the historic aspect in terms of historic landmark commission coa's

483
00:35:45,000 --> 00:36:00,000
 historic landmark destinations, all of those different steps. And then the third was creating guidelines that you all kind of could read upon when you, for instance, come across solar panels, or fencing.

484
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:26,000
 Windows, windows, kind of having a basic guideline that you all follow so that one when people come in, they're not completely surprised if they get denied or approved, but also so that you all remain consistent so that down the line someone can't say oh well I'm going to sue the city because they've been so inconsistent with their approvals and denials of, you know, for example, windows.

485
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:35,000
 So, that's, those are the three kind of main ones that the definition ad hoc committee is addressing.

486
00:36:35,000 --> 00:37:00,000
 So, Lance removed himself could do to work conflicts. Last meeting in December, so we have Angie and then case on that.

487
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:09,000
 Taking it like eating an elephant one by the time you're not trying to eat the whole element.

488
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
 Yeah, I like that.

489
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,000
 It's a beast, that's for sure, but it sounded like it was one by the time right.

490
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:32,000
 Okay, so we have a volunteer Sandra has volunteered to be on the definitions ad hoc committee is important work, it will be exciting.

491
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:47,000
 Let's see.

492
00:37:47,000 --> 00:38:01,000
 So this is that item that we brought originally in November, that's going to be a reoccurring items similar to the matrix where you all bring forward a property that you think is worthy of historic landmark designation.

493
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:08,000
 And then you do your two minute pitch similar to city council, you make your argument as to why you think of it's important.

494
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:35,000
 You all vote, it needs a minimum of three votes, if you receive before sorry for votes and if it receives the board votes, then I put it on a list that is kind of a living list of properties that we wanted to get designated and done.

495
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
 And then I can give it back to you and then you can present it next meeting.

496
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
 Okay, it's actually the house that goes where the owner of ravel and bakery.

497
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
 There's the house behind it.

498
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
 And he's got all the restoration of it.

499
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
 Oh yeah, I've always seen that house.

500
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
 I love that house.

501
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
 Yes, yes.

502
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
 He lived there.

503
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
 So he doesn't have to commute to come in at four o'clock in the morning to bake bread.

504
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:05,000
 Oh, I love it. I love Eric and forget his wife's name, but I love those folks.

505
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
 That's what I put it as ravel and bakery house.

506
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000
 So I'll do a little research for you and I'll send it your way.

507
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
 Sounds good.

508
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
 Okay.

509
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
 Because I love that house so much.

510
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,000
 Me too.

511
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
 Yeah.

512
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
 So I've made my contribution for the day.

513
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
 You're next.

514
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,000
 All right, so we're probably out here.

515
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
 See if you've got some attachments for us.

516
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
 Nope.

517
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
 Nope, nope.

518
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
 Okay.

519
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,000
 Item 3D.

520
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,000
 3D.

521
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
 Oh, sorry.

522
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
 Holds a special regarding the Historic Landwork Commission's project matrix.

523
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
 Yes.

524
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
 That's it.

525
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:49,000
 So the ordinance regarding membership qualifications, that's going to be coming back in a future meeting.

526
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,000
 The historic property ownership being removed.

527
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,000
 The quantifying the economic impact of preserving historic properties.

528
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,000
 Benefits of preserving historic properties in cities incentivizing owners.

529
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:09,000
 That's definitely a larger conversation, so that will be coming out at a future meeting.

530
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:17,000
 In regards to, I do have presentation preliminary guidelines regarding property features, fencing windows for use for the public and HLC.

531
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
 I do have that being presented in early 2023.

532
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
 I'm happy to change that because that's definitions ad hoc.

533
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:31,000
 So I can say summer of 2023 if that provides you all some time.

534
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,000
 But that's definitely something that I've left on the matrix.

535
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:44,000
 We do have a presentation from DME regarding the solar panels in early 2023, as I stated, hopefully next month.

536
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
 We'll see I'm still waiting for that.

537
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
 And then these were just items that have been kind of sitting here in terms of Historic Landmark Commission.

538
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,000
 We've already kind of had this discussion so I can remove that.

539
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
 And then annual update.

540
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
 This is going to be still presented in 2023.

541
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000
 I don't know if you've legal had time to do that research.

542
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
 It's almost done.

543
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:19,000
 It'll probably come in the form of a memo and then if you guys have questions we can schedule a meeting with whoever the relevant kind of individual that would be best to present that.

544
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,000
 But it'll probably be more of a memo form than a presentation form.

545
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000
 And then obviously our future meetings are February 13th and March 6th.

546
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:41,000
 But yeah, so if you all want to add anything or if you all are good with this and I just remove everything that was presenting today and update.

547
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
 So a little bit.

548
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
 You feel like this was the only covered a little bit since it didn't.

549
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
 But we haven't got a concrete thing.

550
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
 Gotcha. Okay.

551
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
 I mean I think it's made a lot of progress.

552
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000
 Okay.

553
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,000
 Okay.

554
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
 So I will remove this item.

555
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
 Hopefully we'll have this item next time.

556
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,000
 I will update this item regarding definition ad hoc committee update to hopefully summer 2023.

557
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
 We'll just keep that as a temporary no set date.

558
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:19,000
 Is it possible to back up to something so on this definitions ad hoc committee the work done that does that have any impact on.

559
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,000
 About staff give a direction on historic men or designation.

560
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
 Okay.

561
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
 I think it's working your way through it pretty well.

562
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
 Sounds good.

563
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
 I just want to add one thing actually to back up a little bit.

564
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:48,000
 I'm so glad to see there's going to be a presentation by someone from UOT about the portal to Texas history because there's so many items that is if you're not familiar with it's an astoundingly huge.

565
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
 Publicly available searchable database of Texas history.

566
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
 It's filled with local history.

567
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,000
 I went there just last weekend and I was so astounded I had never seen it.

568
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
 The word is really getting around but it's a really special thing.

569
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
 They've been working on it for years at UNT.

570
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,000
 And so a lot of our questions about Denton are probably answerable in there.

571
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
 It was really cool.

572
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,000
 I have a picture of my parents who went to a tiny college back 50 years ago.

573
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,000
 That picture I've never seen.

574
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,000
 It's all kinds of stuff.

575
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
 Belcher and Sybil's Bend I was doing all of that.

576
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000
 It had everything you wanted to know about these ghost towns and stuff.

577
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
 That was cool.

578
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
 Exactly.

579
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
 So, yeah, that's great.

580
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
 Yeah.

581
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
 It should be a really interesting look, Sharon.

582
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
 Yes.

583
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:34,000
 There's the timing was a little earlier.

584
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
 Yes, I know.

585
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
 Let's see.

586
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000
 Do we have any other?

587
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000
 We finished all of our items.

588
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000
 Is there any new business that we haven't -- that we need to bring up?

589
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
 We've done all of the consideration.

590
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
 Is there anything else on here?

591
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
 Does anybody have a motion?

592
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
 I move we adjourn.

593
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
 Second.

594
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,000
 Thank you.

595
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,000
 Excellent.

596
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,000
 Thank you.

597
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,000
 Well done, everybody.
