Members volunteered to review the prior submission and to provide updated resumes or one‑page bios for the CLG packet.

Several members discussed required training options that count toward CLG or commission training requirements. Staff noted Main Street 101 (self‑paced online) and Missouri Main Street or preservation conferences as acceptable options. Members said they would complete Main Street 101 or other webinars and reported prior attendance at Missouri Main Street or related programs; one member volunteered to resend the training link and another said they would complete the training “after volleyball.”

On records and file sharing, the commission agreed to move from paper binders to a shared Microsoft Teams site (or other cloud storage) to make agendas, applications and photos accessible to all members. Staff offered to build the Teams workspace, provide a shared file structure and continue to print materials for those who prefer binders. Members said they are comfortable using Teams and that the platform’s chat and file features would streamline document access.

Why it matters: CLG status and training maintain the commission’s accreditation and eligibility for certain grants and technical assistance; a shared document platform should reduce administrative friction and improve timely submission of materials to council.

Follow‑up: staff will prepare the CLG one‑pager, collect updated resumes, resend training links, and create a Teams workspace for the commission.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Washington Historic Preservation Commission Meeting 09/08/25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission discussed the Certified Local Government (CLG) report schedule, reminded members about required training (Main Street 101 and other offerings), and agreed to create a Microsoft Teams workspace to host documents instead of paper binders.","taxTitle","Washington, Franklin County, Missouri","taxId",58415,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6130451,"Preservation commission advances curb‑appeal awards, landmark forms and budget request; volunteers assigned to photograph historic properties",432,1116000,1548000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736865-21379f3e4dfacc66e74c0e64c36bdc40&start=1116&end=1548","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736865-21379f3e4dfacc66e74c0e64c36bdc40/thumbnail_1116000.jpg","/articles/6130451/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Preservation-commission-advances-curbappeal-awards-landmark-forms-and-budget-request-volunteers-assigned-to-photograph-historic-properties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6130451-f86050ead03361162be12aa2cc7f21aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1773754558&Signature=IoTV6KQ4wScI2gS0vMHTq37rplwIESZtVUgoAH6IzUnkraqJyjp6-ReHG-oaX7Ilh5u6nUInj9JMqTLRtmqCkUh7-kMvRSSDFP3iqChSRm6K0ekniISYHAVjjYdpsSY8dFO5fcVZkfI6t24acla8HPThV42z83Xix8tX5kR0G6VnZ1Vl207C-3TsWiv2Z0D4XJtffQg4Dhv0-hvMgZMwAkzQyY145TrM5kA9ZJgiJx6AFiLJxlRuqYl5vorpE4lvf8ftRuquVxF4CjiNhaxN3Qrkx1dXoHXOG2SF448SKVfUZSCLBU~iDe8xqSB3IbnIreeu9to~N-jI0kam1vhVwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed curb‑appeal nominations, assigned volunteers to photograph buildings for landmark designation forms, and discussed a budget request the commission has submitted to the city for consideration at council.

Commission staff and members said they have five or six curb‑appeal nominations this year and approved at least one nomination during the meeting for a West Third Street property (recorded in the minutes as 516 West Third). Commission volunteers agreed to visit nominated properties to take photos and deliver yard signs. Members discussed contacting homeowners by letter with an application and a self‑addressed stamped envelope to encourage responses.

Commission staff explained a draft budget request includes $330 for curb‑appeal signs, $1,250 for building plaques (estimated four to five plaques), $150 for NAPC (National Alliance for Preservation Commissions) membership, and conference costs for up to two attendees (conference, hotel, flights budgeted in alternate years). The budget request will go to city council in October; the commission noted the commission’s packet is not yet approved and final council action is pending.

The commission also assigned volunteers to photograph properties and city‑owned landmarks for landmark designation forms. Volunteers agreed to take cell‑phone photos of all four sides of specified buildings (Water Works Building, freight and passenger depots, City Auditorium, Main Park Pavilion, pool house, memorial gateway, pavilion by Arch Bridge, city hall and Lions Lake gazebo) and to text or email them to staff for archival and inclusion in designation applications. Members noted professional photography could be useful for museum archives but said volunteer photographs will meet current application needs.

Commission members raised a visual‑quality concern about a painted‑over U.S. Bank sign on a private lot near Lafayette/Second; staff agreed to contact the property owner to ask about plans for the sign but noted no code violation was identified in the meeting transcript and that removal is at the owner’s discretion.

Why it matters: the curb‑appeal awards, plaques and landmark designations are the commission’s primary program tools to recognize and preserve historic properties, and the budget items and volunteer photo work will support those programs if the council approves funding.","The commission reviewed curb‑appeal nominations, assigned volunteers to photograph buildings for landmark designation forms, discussed a draft budget request that includes plaque and conference funding, and plans outreach to nominated homeowners.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6130456,"Commission approves certificate of approval for exterior alterations at downtown Speckles building",192,232000,424000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736865-21379f3e4dfacc66e74c0e64c36bdc40&start=232&end=424","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736865-21379f3e4dfacc66e74c0e64c36bdc40/thumbnail_232000.jpg","/articles/6130456/Washington/Franklin-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-certificate-of-approval-for-exterior-alterations-at-downtown-Speckles-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6130456-7c6c2039caa14a1f36e7384932b06f45/orig.mp4?Expires=1773754558&Signature=VZ~Lz6IRdY5xpRFW0GI2nd1vGUpbZxqkE2tVMUo6XgedxetMFRPLxttqqLOpgxRBglExn107ceop4Ox9AKRIsqBGF2b09HKdflat5c2EZTJIzZZmFyzX4ktb2ZJxPrZhETEX-r0sbNu44~snYhPvbSj5x0Hmq6bk857ARLvQ84bA46wsNh~ELaHa1WFXZySlYe8OtSwrBXxqk164ajnV~JUFfq7deYJtGVdMjKsM7qfKUms7J-plolCJck-~wFoA5ID7OMmGBGak7iPmZj6R7vrOH86Tj1Izf-XYclZkUW9lBDVyuHE4QjI9-LrNt7hIiDLHiUEiBlZJQXWEuqht7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve a certificate of approval for exterior alterations to the building owned by Rich and Donna Speckles at the corner of Front and Jefferson. The applicant’s representative described window infills, the insertion of a new window, a balcony and a large sliding door at the street level.

The applicant representative said the changes are “pretty much similar to what’s already there” and that window and hardware finishes will match existing elements. He described plans to infill two upper openings with brick, retain one existing upper window, add a new window by the corner and replace a street‑level window with a large gliding door and balcony. He also said the balcony will have brackets and that hardware will be black to match current features.

Commission members asked a few clarifying questions during the presentation and said they did not see issues with the design as presented. A motion for a certificate of approval was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; meeting minutes record members responding “Aye” with no recorded opposition.

Why it matters: the project alters the appearance of a downtown façade and adds residential living space, changes that the commission reviews to ensure compatibility with historic character.

Details: the approved work as described to the commission includes: infilling specified upper openings with brick to match existing brick panels; adding one new upper window; replacing a first‑floor window with a glazed sliding door and a balcony with brackets; matching existing window profiles and black hardware; evaluating whether two mid‑level canopies on Front Street will be reinstalled after the balcony is in place. The applicant noted final decisions on the canopies will be made after the balcony is erected.

No ordinance, code citation or vote tally by name was provided in the meeting text; the action is recorded in the meeting as a certificate of approval that was approved by voice vote.","The Historic Preservation Commission voted to approve a certificate of approval for exterior alterations to a downtown building at the corner of Front and Jefferson owned by Rich and Donna Speckles.
