Historic Preservation Board approves $750 contribution for May events
Summary
The Castle Rock Historic Preservation Board voted unanimously to contribute $750 to the Castle Rock Historical Society Museum to support May's Historic Preservation Month activities, including trolley rides and scavenger-hunt materials.
The Castle Rock Historic Preservation Board voted to provide $750 to the Castle Rock Historical Society Museum to support Historic Preservation Month events in May. The board approved the contribution by roll call after staff described prior years' contributions and the planned uses of the money.
Brad Boland, town staff, told the board the funds would help cover trolley rides for guided tours and the materials for the month-long scavenger hunt. “Last year we approved $750 to help with that,” Boland said, describing how the funds paid for the trolley driver and printed scavenger worksheets. A motion to approve the contribution was moved and seconded and the board recorded seven ayes on the roll call, carrying the measure.
Why it matters: the contribution aims to fund public programming and materials that promote local historic sites and engage families. Staff said communications and logistics (number of postcards, sign orders and QR-code tracking) will be worked out ahead of May, with a follow-up report expected at the next meeting. The board also discussed leaving a small contingency in the board's budget to cover unanticipated preservation projects.
The board scheduled follow-up coordination with the town communications team to finalize artwork, printing and distribution; staff will return to the board with cost estimates and a recommended mailing list in April.
