Historic Preservation Commission to prepare FY26 work plan and budget request; staff to draft template and bring back in March
Summary
Commissioners discussed preparing the fiscal-year 2026 work plan and a budget request. Staff will draft the template and bring a proposed submission to the commission for approval at the next meeting; the commission discussed potential modest spending (city line item noted at $1,200) for plaques or interpretive materials tied to local projects.
Commissioners reviewed the Historic Preservation Commission work-plan and budget template and agreed that staff will prepare a draft submission for the commission to vote on at its next meeting.
City staff said the commission’s discretionary budget line is modest (shown in meeting materials as $1,200) and that the city’s fiscal year runs on a June-to-June cycle; staff recommended preparing the FY26 request with the March meeting timeline so the commission’s priorities can be considered during the city budget process. Commissioners discussed possible uses of discretionary funds, including contributing to a plaque or other interpretive materials for future development projects (for example the 3185 South Brentwood Boulevard advisory request discussed at the same meeting). One staff member offered to assemble prior-year accomplishments, permit counts, and project summaries for the submission.
Commissioners agreed to review the draft and either propose edits by email (as advisory comment) or wait to vote at the next meeting. Staff said they would circulate the draft on city letterhead and include prior-year accomplishments, ongoing projects (conservation districts, nominations, plaques), and a short funding request tied to identified tasks. No final budget request was approved at the Jan. 14 meeting; the commission set a timeline and assigned staff to prepare the packet for the next meeting.
