For Historic Preservation Month in May 2019, the Commission re-affirmed these
planned and budgeted events: Proclamation by Mayor Buol, Entrance fees to Eagle
Point Park on opening day for first 200 visitors, Fact-A-Day in May, and financial
support for promotion of Old House Enthusiasts Tour (if held). Commissioners also
agreed to add a photo shoot for City Council members to document "My Favorite
Historic Place" like the "This Place Matters" photo shoot held several years ago.
Commissioners noted that the "My Favorite Historic Place" could be extended to other
partners, such as the City and County HPCs and City officials.
Commissioners identified other possible events and activities for 2019. Commissioners
discussed contacting the Dubuque Area Board of Realtors about CEU training and
contacting NICC about their existing contractor certificate program.
Consensus was to plan a Preservation Fair in early September 2019 that could include
training for owners, contractors, and Realtors working with major local partners. The
Commission identified a Historic Tax Credit Workshop with Steve Wilke Shapiro, and
information about the City of Dubuque financial incentives and CHANGE program,
NICC's program, Four Mounds HEART program, ISU Historic Preservation Certificate
program, and local preservation services such as mortar analysis, wood windows, and
other architectural products. Chairperson Hilgendorf suggested the Commission staff
the Farmer's Market community booth in June 2019 to promote the Fair.
Commissioners noted there are many other potential partners that the HPC can work
with to promote existing events: Neighborhood Associations, Dubuque True North,
Dubuque County Historical Society, Carnegie Stout Public Library, Friends of Mines of
Spain, lowa Architectural Foundation and Preservation lowa.
Chairperson Hilgendorf reviewed possible large-scale events for future years could be:
Power of Preservation Prom, a dinner/fundraiser event for HEART, Four Mounds, etc.;
Historic District RunM/alk/Kids Fun Walk, and/or Historic House Specialist Certification.
ITEMS FROM STAFF: None.
