Attachment 1 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Orange County <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br /> <br />Approved Meeting Summary <br /> <br />April 26th, 2017 <br />Old Orange County Courthouse <br />106 East King Street, Hillsborough <br /> <br />___________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />MEMBERS PRESENT: Bob Ireland, Allie Mead, Art Menius, Grace White <br /> <br />MEMBERS ABSENT: Todd Dickinson, Jaime Grant, Tom Loter <br /> <br />STAFF PRESENT: Peter Sandbeck GUESTS: None <br /> <br />ITEM #1: CALL TO ORDER <br />Vice-Chair Menius called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm. <br /> <br />ITEM #2: CHANGES OR ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: Sandbeck asked to add two discussion items: <br />1) report back about the BOCC work session on March 28th, and 2) the possible donation <br />of agricultural implements for Blackwood Farm Park. <br /> <br />ITEM #3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES for March 22nd, 2017 (Attachment 1): Ireland moved to <br />approve the minutes with one correction noted, seconded by White; motion approved. <br /> <br />ITEM #4: ITEMS FOR DECISION: None <br /> <br />ITEM #5: DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />a. Historic Preservation Month Programs and Activities: <br />Staff provided a handout summary of the various initiatives that will be happening for <br />Preservation Month, based on our earlier conversations about this topic. We will have the <br />BOCC sign a proclamation. Also, the archaeologists will begin work on the ground- <br />penetrating radar the week of May 15-19. We would like to have a program to highlight <br />this project. The Alliance is organizing some “lunch and learn” programs to cover different <br />topics, to be held on each of the five Tuesdays in May.

We can host <br />a tour of the historic courthouse as part of the “last Friday” events in downtown on May <br />26. There could be a video loop that shows the clock while it is striking. It might be <br />possible to hold two tours. We could also open the Norwood-Jones Law Office too and will <br />need to station someone there while open. Staff checked about the possibility of a <br />Facebook page for the HPC, and learned it was possible, provided we set up an email <br />address. Members discussed possible names and agreed that a good choice is <br />preservation@orangecountync.gov. This would let us establish a presence in social <br />media. Another piece could be a new web site for the HPC, as our current site offers very <br />little content. Members searched our web site and noted that their names and addresses <br />were listed. Several asked to have their addresses removed from the public web site if <br />possible. The May 4th event at Blackwood Farm was then discussed. Issues include the <br />scheduling of getting all 305 students through all the stations, with each station getting 12 <br />minutes. The challenge is to have a tight script or program that keeps their attention. They <br />need to have an experience while at the station. Dickinson has a whole collection of
