Middleton committee plans public information session on city survey and National Register interest
Summary
The committee filed a letter of intent for a possible National Register historic-district nomination pending city survey results. Members tentatively scheduled a public informational session (to include Tracy Schnell and Jason) to explain eligibility, tax credits and next steps; they aimed to hold the session before a December 12 filing deadline.
Speaker 1 said the committee has submitted an LOI for a possible National Register historic-district nomination contingent on the city's survey results and that Tracy Schnell is contractually obligated to present the full survey to the committee and the public.
Speaker 3 said the informational session should invite eligible property owners and current district property owners to explain tax-credit implications and to answer common misconceptions about what listing means for private-property rights. Speaker 3 estimated the presentation by Jason and internal staff typically runs about 45 minutes; Speaker 3 proposed a separate stand-alone public presentation for the survey findings, followed by another session focused on the district nomination process and public input.
Committee members discussed scheduling and publicizing the event; they tentatively set a public meeting for Nov. 19 (subject to speaker availability) and noted a December 12 deadline tied to the historic-district nomination timeline. Staff agreed to publicize the meeting and to offer multiple outreach channels (online notices, posters and library flyers) to try to reach different demographic groups.
No formal nomination was voted on at this meeting; the session will be used to present survey findings, gather public comment and clarify next steps in the listing process.
