Loading...
Summary
The Monona Landmarks Commission voted to schedule a historic tax‑credit workshop for May 19, 2026 (during Historic Preservation Month), asked staff to reserve library space and to advertise the event; presenters will cover residential vs. commercial credits and Andrea (presenter) is available evenings.
The Monona Landmarks Commission voted on Feb. 17 to schedule a historic tax‑credit workshop for May 19, 2026, during Wisconsin Historic Preservation Month.
Chair (Speaker 1) introduced the proposal and explained the Wisconsin Historical Society and local preservation partners could present content. Speaker 3 said the society’s representatives are willing to provide workshops free of charge and noted the workshop could cover separate programs for residential and commercial properties; several commissioners said a residential‑focused session would be more useful for most homeowners, while commercial property owners typically seek outside experts.
Commissioners discussed logistics and outreach: Andrea (a presenter) told the group she is available evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and that holding the workshop at the commission’s regular 5:30 p.m. meeting slot would work. The commission asked staff to reserve a library meeting room for May 19, include the event in the city newsletter and contact WVMO for a public service announcement.
Chair (Speaker 1) made a motion to schedule the workshop; a second was recorded and the motion carried. Commissioners instructed staff to confirm date and room availability and to coordinate promotional materials with the library and city communications staff.
No formal fee or funding action was taken; presenters said the event is typically offered as a public service. The commission also discussed whether to present separate sessions for residential homeowners and for income‑producing properties (for example, seasonal rentals or properties operating under an LLC), and deferred that decision to the presenter and staff when finalizing the agenda.
