Historic Preservation Commission staff urges higher training participation, announces June art dedication and Hahn Museum tour
Summary
Staff reported low participation in continuing-education offerings, encouraged commissioners to attend a June digital training camp, announced an art installation dedication on June 9 and proposed a late-summer tour of the Hahn Museum carriage house tied to potential grant work.
Commission staff urged greater uptake of continuing-education opportunities and outlined several upcoming events and learning opportunities for the Lafayette Historic Preservation Commission.
Staff said participation in offered trainings has been below 30% over the past two years and encouraged members to attend the June digital training camp, which consists of afternoon sessions; staff suggested splitting attendance across members to reach broader participation. "I would really love to see us do a 100% participation," the staff member said, but acknowledged many members find in-person attendance difficult and pointed to an in-person session planned in September or October in Franklin.
Staff also invited commissioners to an art installation dedication on June 9 at the nearby art museum, with a reception at 7 p.m. and a dedication scheduled for about 8 p.m., and said they would email details to the commission. Separately, staff said they are coordinating with the Hahn Museum for a late-summer visit to review the carriage house and related properties that may seek grant funding and private funds for updates. The staff noted an art-restoration session will be offered and that the commission could use a July or August meeting slot for a private tour if a regular meeting is not held.
The staff update concluded without public comment; the commission moved on to adjournment.
