RE: Creation of Ken Kringle Historic Preservation Award
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The Historic Preservation Commission would like the City Council to consider the creation of a
Ken Kringle Historic Preservation Award. The award will be awarded annually during Historic
Preservation Week to the best rehabilitation project located the historic districts. The creation of
the award is another tool to help promote the preservation of historic buildings and architectural
resources in the community.
Several organizations currently have awards for historic preservation rehabilitation projects.
Dubuque Main Street Ltd. has awards for rehab projects located in the Main Street service area
annually. The Dubuque County Historical Society's Building and Sites Committee awards the
House Preservation Award annually to rehab projects located in Dubuque County. The Iowa
Historic Preservation Alliance awards the Preservation at its Best Awards to rehab projects
located in the State of Iowa. Currently, the Historic Preservation Commission does not have an
award for any rehab projects located in the historic districts.
The Historic Preservation Commission would like to name the Historic Preservation Award for
Ken Kringle. Ken Kringle recently passed away, showed his dedication to historic preservation
through his involvement as a member and past Chairperson of the Historic Preservation
Commission, President of the Bluff Street Neighborhood Association, resident of the Cathedral
Historic District and member of the Old House Enthusiasts Club. The Commission feels that it
would be honor to name the award after Ken.
The Historic Preservation Commission respectfully requests that the City Council approve the
attached resolution.
Sincerely,
Christopher Wand, Chairperson
Historic Preservation Commission
