Commission Trainin? <br />Mr. Aspery stated that one of the goals in the 2018 Historic Preservation Plan is for the Planning <br />Department to organize trainings for Landmarks Commission members.

The presentation <br />will be part of the Commission's June l lth meeting in Council Chambers. Mr. Neville asked if it <br />would be open to the public, Mr. Aspery stated that the training will be directed towards the <br />commissioners. Mr. Aspery would like trainings to be held quarterly or biannually. <br />Centennial Home Prolzram <br />Mr. Aspery said that a recommendation in the Historic Preservation Plan is to update and expand <br />the inventory of historical structures. The Commission should take steps to reinvigorate the <br />Centennial Home program and bolster historic recognition efforts in the City. A new round of <br />research should be conducted to identify any remaining homes built in or before 1915. Research <br />can be broken up among members by streets or quadrants to ensure a wider search. Eligible <br />homes should be contacted to receive recognition. A database should be kept recording all <br />nominated and verified Centennial Homes. This may start with a private database but should <br />eventually be made public and promoted. Interesting Centennial Home stories should be <br />collected and disseminated via City channels. <br />Historic District Man <br />Mr. Aspery stated that the commissioners should expect more information by the next meeting. <br />Chapter 165 Update <br />Mr. Aspery stated that the Planning Department will be looking into making improvements to <br />Chapter 165.
