Dorothy McCard also attended. The City has applied for Certified Local Government status. There are presently 10 CLGs in the State and there is $40,000 available statewide for grants per year. Once certified the City can apply for some of the grant money available. Townsite Historic Board June 26, 1994 Page 1 One of the criteria the City has to meet to become certified is to identify professionals that will be consulted when a particular project requires expertise in the areas of architecture, history and archaeology. Once the City identifies these professionals their resumes are sent to Janet Clemens in Anchorage for approval. The City must also establish a plan for the Historic District. Plans from Seward and the Fairbanks North Star Borough are available for information. Mayor Williams said there was an architect with Kluge and Associates that may be willing to help the Board. Williams also reminded the Board all meetings would come under the Open Meetings Act. Dorothy McCard reported that she had also attended the Historic Preservation Seminar. She said it was well attended and very informative. CLGs have a direct tie- in with local tourism efforts as studies have shown people like to come to locations where they can experience culture and history. McCard suggested that Board members be familiar with the ordinance concerning development matters and when votes are taken on items in the TSH District. Members should state the reason they are voting a certain way. B. REQUEST FROM PEGGY MULLEN - KENAI RIVER FESTIVAL Mayor Williams read the letter from Peggy Mullen (attached). It was recommended that members of the Board contact her directly if they are interested in participating. . ADJOURNMENT Karen Mahurin said she would work on setting another meeting date to set Goals and Obiectives and elect officers. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Administrative Assistant Townsite Historic Board June 26, 1994 Page 2 TOWI~S'rTE HISTORTC REVTE# BO~%RD I~EI~BERS Will Jahrig P.
