Martin explained that the Commission has the opportunity every year to give out three
awards to members of the community for the following categories: project, inspiration, and
research. After discussion, it was motioned by Commissioner Mann and seconded by
Commissioner Pinkerton to award Nancy Wahl in the category of "research," Roger Wilson
in the category of "project," and George Pechtel in the category of "inspiration."
C. Next HPC Meeting
Martin informed the Commission that the next Commission meeting falls on November
27th, the day before Thanksgiving, and their meeting in December falls on Christmas Day;
therefore, the Commission will not meet on those days. He added that a special meeting
may be necessary to discuss a house in the Barge Chestnut neighborhood at 2701 W
Yakima Ave that was altered without permits, and explained that he is waiting on the owner
to submit an application for the work he is proposing.
VII. Other Business
Martin announced that the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) has
a grant application process open for project buildings within a Certified Local Government or
accredited Main Street Community with a population of 50,000 or less. Discussion took place
on the specific criteria of the grant.
Commissioner Mann brought up an ordinance that relates to distributing revenue from
recording fees that's funneled through the County from the State to local jurisdictions for
historic preservation purposes. He also called attention to a facade grant program the
Downtown Association of Yakima administers that needs additional board members,
preferably ones with a background in historic preservation.
VIII. Adjournment
A motion to adjourn to January 22, 2020 was passed with unanimous vote. This meeting
adjourned at approximately 6:01 p.m.
