Preservation board votes to create certificate program; communications team to design awards
Summary
The Clay County Historic Preservation Board voted to create a certificate-of-recognition program, directing county communications staff to design the certificate and prepare a feature; details (frequency, categories) will be finalized later.
The Clay County Historic Preservation Board voted on May 7 to create a certificate-of-recognition program to honor individuals or organizations that provide notable assistance to the board’s work.
A committee member moved to start a recognition-certificate program with details to be amended later; another member seconded and the board approved the motion by voice vote. Staff said the county's communications team will design the certificate, prepare supporting information for the board and propose categories so the board can decide whom to recognize.
Board members discussed whether to set a fixed number of awards per month and agreed to pilot the program by first issuing a single certificate to a known local helper—suggestions included landowner Charlie Som and volunteer Richard Knopf—and then refining frequency and process. Staff said communications would reach out to collect story details for any honoree and bring back a draft certificate for the board’s review.
The board approved the program and will return to the certificate categories and implementation schedule at a future meeting.
