Committee reviews Midterm preservation plan; consultant roles and cost questions remain
Summary
Committee members reviewed a midterm preservation plan provided to the group, noted it listed external consultants, and agreed to contact the plan authors to clarify timeline, consultant roles and whether outside funds were used to prepare it.
The Woodland Park Historic Preservation Committee discussed a midterm preservation plan distributed to members and asked staff to clarify how the plan was produced and whether the town or outside consultants funded it.
Committee members reported the document is concise and includes a timeline, goals and objectives. One member said the plan appeared "clean" and easy to skim, and the committee agreed it could serve as a useful starting point for local preservation strategy.
Discussion turned to authorship and cost. Committee members observed the plan had been described to some members as an in-house product but that it also lists consultants. Names mentioned in the meeting included Terry Gorrell of Holland & Hart and Michael Sawyer (firm name uncertain). No adoption date or consultant fee amounts appeared on the plan's cover, and members asked staff to contact the plan authors and report back on the process and any costs incurred.
The committee said it would request information about the plan's timeline and whether any grants or municipal funds paid for consultants so the group can understand how comparable work might be budgeted locally. A committee member suggested using the Midterm plan as a model and reach out to the consultant who prepared it to learn more about scope and price, but no formal decision or expenditure was made at the meeting.
