Council approves RFP for architectural historian on CDBG downtown façade project
Summary
Council approved the RFP and evaluation criteria to select an architectural historian for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) downtown façade project; a council member asked if an existing staff person was already acting in that role.
The City Council approved the request for proposals (RFP) and evaluation criteria to select an architectural historian for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) downtown façade project.
Why it matters: The architectural historian will provide formal historic-preservation documentation and guidance required for façade improvements funded by CDBG, which often requires compliance with historic-preservation standards.
During discussion a councilmember asked if Henry (a staff member) had already been performing that role informally; another councilmember noted this RFP is a more formal, written procurement. The RFP was approved without further discussion.
Discussion vs. action: The council took formal action to approve the RFP and evaluation criteria. The question about staff performing the historian role was a discussion point that was not resolved at the meeting.
Ending: City staff will proceed with posting the RFP and evaluating proposals under the approved criteria.
