Committee reviews historic-preservation brochure draft; staff reports state grant, consultant work order pending
Summary
The committee reviewed a draft brochure promoting historic-property stewardship, discussed printing and distribution options, and heard that a state grant for an updated historic-home inventory has been approved and a draft consultant work order is ready pending contract signature.
Committee members reviewed and praised a draft brochure intended for historic-property owners and discussed printing and distribution options during the meeting.
A staff member said a draft brochure was distributed to committee members and described recent formatting and higher-resolution photo updates. The staff member said the city will "be sending it to a printer" to get cost and timing estimates and that the city may try a few in-house printings first. Committee members suggested local printing options and low-cost alternatives; one member said they "work for Dale Sorensen Real Estate" and offered to place brochures in their office.
Committee members discussed where brochures can be placed publicly and asked staff to confirm permitted distribution sites. A staff member listed public facilities such as the Vero Beach Public Library as likely locations and said the city would check placement restrictions with Jason, identified in the discussion as a city contact who would confirm where materials could be posted.
Members also discussed targeting brochure mailings to property owners once the updated historic-home inventory is available. One member asked when the inventory will be taken; a staff member said the state-approved grant for the city is in hand, "we recently received the contract" and the city is "working on signing that in house with the city," with a draft work order for a consultant ready so the survey effort is "very close to getting that started." The staff member and members agreed it would be advantageous to direct-mail brochures to owners listed in the forthcoming inventory and to neighborhood districts such as Osceola Park and Original Town.
No formal vote or motion was recorded on the brochure, printing, distribution or the inventory start; the record shows discussion and direction to check printing costs and posting permissions. The staff member reported there are no applicants for vacancies to date.
