La Porte Historic Preservation Commission tables Indiana Landmarks contract, plans AutoCast presentation; approves Jan. minutes
Summary
The La Porte City Historic Preservation Commission approved its Jan. 27 minutes, invited AutoCast representatives (via the convention visitors bureau) to present potential sponsorship and setup assistance, and tabled the Indiana Landmarks professional services contract until March 17 while awaiting a final agreement.
The La Porte City Historic Preservation Commission met Feb. 24 and approved the Jan. 27 meeting minutes before turning to two items of substantive business: a potential AutoCast mobile app for local historic sites and a professional services contract with Indiana Landmarks that the commission tabled until March 17.
Chair opened the meeting by confirming a quorum and asking members to review the minutes. David moved to approve the Jan. 27 minutes, and the chair seconded; the commission voted to approve the minutes. "I'll make a motion to approve the minutes from last meeting," David said; the motion carried after members voted 'aye.'
On AutoCast (old business), Rhonda reported she had spoken with Amy Riley at the convention visitors bureau and had been referred to Dale Cooper, who "spearheads that for CBV." Rhonda said a representative would like to attend a future meeting to explain how the bureau could help set up AutoCast and noted the possibility of a sponsorship to cover some costs. "She would like to come to a meeting and explain where they would come in with potentially helping get us set up and then with a possible sponsorship to cover some of the costs," Rhonda said. The chair said AutoCast would be "great for our historic sites" but added a caution: "I'm just concerned about the long term expense of maintaining it." Rhonda said she would continue email coordination and that she could reach out to invite the bureau representative to the March meeting.
Under new business, the commission addressed the Indiana Landmarks professional services contract. David reported the final contract had not arrived and recommended tabling the item until March 17, when Blake is expected to attend. The chair confirmed the item is deferred. The transcript also records the chair referencing Blake's expected presence and the meeting schedule for March.
The commission announced a plaster workshop that will be offered as a webinar in April or May, sponsored by PHLP; organizers said the link will be emailed to members. With no further business, David moved to adjourn; the chair seconded, members voted 'aye,' and the meeting adjourned at 5:38 p.m.
The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for March 17, when the Indiana Landmarks contract will return to the agenda if the final contract is available.
