Historic Preservation Commission vice chair urges coordination to preserve Hayden's story
Summary
Bill Breeze, vice chair of Hayden's Historic Preservation Commission, briefed the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council on the commission's mission to identify, evaluate and protect historic places and asked for greater coordination across city commissions.
Bill Breeze, vice chair of the Hayden Historic Preservation Commission, told Planning and Zoning commissioners and council members that the commission's mission is to "gather, preserve, and advance the story of the Hayden community," and asked for greater coordination among commissions to avoid working in silos.
Breeze read the commission's mission statement and described the commission's purpose as promoting "the educational, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the public of the city of Hayden through identification, evaluation, designation, and protection of buildings, sites, districts, structures and objects that reflect significant elements of the city's historic, architectural, archaeological and cultural heritage." He said the commission offers recommendations to planning processes undertaken by city, county, state and federal agencies and looks forward to working with council and commissioners on telling Hayden's story.
Council and commissioners thanked Breeze for the presentation and acknowledged the value of preserving the city's past while planning for the future. The transcript records general appreciation from commissioners and a recognition that the commission's materials are posted on the city website and available for review.
Ending Breeze asked for ongoing coordination; staff and elected officials said they welcomed further collaboration as plan updates and code revisions proceed.
