[5:03] >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR MASTIN.

[5:05] ANDREA BURKE, THE SUPERVISOR FOR

[5:07] THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION TEAM

[5:08] AND CPED.

[5:09] I DO HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS.

[5:13] ONE, THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF

[5:16] PRESERVATION COMMISSIONS SHORT

[5:19] CORES WAS THE MESSAGE I SENT OUT

[5:21] RECENTLY.

[5:21] I DID GET AN INTERESTED

[5:22] COMMISSIONER BACK TO I A TEND,

[5:24] SO I DID FORWARD SOME

[5:26] INFORMATION TO REGISTER FOR

[5:29] THAT.

[5:29] JU ALSO, THE NOTICE TO OTHER

[5:31] COMMISSIONERS TO CHECK OUT THAT

[5:32] MESSAGE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN

[5:34] ATTENDING THIS.

[5:35] IT IS VIRTUAL.

[5:36] IT IS TWO DAYS.

[5:38] SINCE WE ARE AN ORGANIZATION

[5:39] THAT HAS A MEMBERSHIP, WE GET A

[5:44] SPECIAL RATE FOR THIS, SO JUST

[5:47] PUTTING THAT OUT THERE.

[5:49] ALSO, JUST LOOK FOR ANOTHER

[5:51] MESSAGE FROM ME AS WE ARE

[5:53] CONTINUING TO PLAN FOR THE

[5:57] NATIONAL PRESERVATION'S

[5:58] CONFERENCE NEXT YEAR AT THIS

[5:59] TIME.

[6:01] STARTING TO PUT TOGETHER

[6:02] SUGGESTIONS FOR TOURS AND

[6:06] STORIES.

[6:06] I CAN SEND OUT AN INFORMATION

[6:09] ABOUT THAT AND MAYBE KIND OF A

[6:12] LINK TO A DOCUMENT WHERE WE CAN

[6:15] COLLECT SOME IDEAS OR PERHAPS WE

[6:16] CAN DISCUSS IT AT A MEETING,

[6:18] TOO, UNDER UPDATES.

[6:20] BUT THIS IS ALL VERY INFORMAL

[6:22] AND FOR ANYBODY WHO IS

[6:23] INTERESTED IN BEING MORE

[6:24] INVOLVED EITHER IN THEIR

[6:25] PROFESSIONAL LIFE OR AS PART OF

[6:28] A COMMISSIONER, HAPPY TO

[6:29] ORGANIZE THAT, SO JUST FEEL FREE

[6:32] TO REACH OUT.

[6:33] AND I CAN HELP PUT THAT

[6:36] TOGETHER.

[6:37] WANTED TO MAKE A MENTION OF THIS

[6:39] PAST WEEKEND.

[6:40] I ATTENDED AN EVENT ON SUNDAY

[6:43] FOR MILWAUKEE AVENUE HISTORIC

[6:45] DISTRICT.

[6:46] THERE WAS LOVELY CELEBRATION

[6:49] THAT WAS ORGANIZED BY THE MAHA

[6:52] IS THE ACRONYM FOR IT, BUT

[6:54] MILWAUKEE AVENUE HISTORIC -- I

[6:56] WILL MAYBE NOT GET THE LAST PART

[6:58] RIGHT, BUT ASSOCIATION, FORGIVE

[7:00] ME, BUT THEY PUT ON A NICE EVENT

[7:03] TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS SINCE THE

[7:05] HISTORIC DISTRICT WAS

[7:07] DESIGNATED.

[7:07] AND IT WAS A GREAT RECOUNTING OF

[7:10] STORIES FROM PUTTING THAT EFFORT

[7:13] TOGETHER, AND SOME OF THE WORK

[7:15] INVOLVED TO GET IT DESIGNATED

[7:17] AND ALSO SOME OF THE WORK

[7:18] INVOLVED TO REHAB A NUMBER OF

[7:20] THE PROPERTY THERE IS.

[7:23] SO THAT WAS NICE.

[7:25] THE PRESERVE MINNESOTA

[7:27] CONFERENCE, WHICH IS PUT ON BY

[7:30] THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION

[7:32] OFFICE IS IN SEPTEMBER.

[7:35] IT IS SEPTEMBER 10-12.

[7:37] STAFF ALWAYS GOES EACH YEAR, AND

[7:38] I HAVEN'T GOT AN NOTICE YET, SO

[7:40] IT IS PREMATURE, BUT SOMETIMES

[7:42] THERE ARE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

[7:43] FOR COMMISSIONERS TO ATTEND.

[7:45] IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU ARE

[7:48] INTERESTED AND YOUR ORGANIZATION

[7:49] THAT YOU WORK FOR IS NOT

[7:51] SPONSORING YOU TO GO, WE IN THE

[7:56] PAST WHEN THESE -- WHEN THIS HAS

[7:57] BEEN AVAILABLE, HAVE BEEN ABLE

[7:58] TO FUND COMMISSIONERS ATTENDING.

[8:01] CERTAIN COSTS ARE INCLUDED.

[8:04] REGISTRATION IS OPEN.

[8:05] AND THERE IS A CONFERENCE HOTEL

[8:06] THAT IS BEING HELD IN NEW ULM,

[8:09] SO ALSO WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT

[8:10] THERE THAT THAT IS NOW OPEN FOR

[8:13] YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

[8:15] IF I DO GET WORD THAT

[8:17] SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE, I

[8:18] WILL LET YOU KNOW.

[8:20] AS YOU KNOW, THE MONEY COMES

[8:23] FROM A DIFFERENT ENTITY, AND SO

[8:26] THAT GETTING TO, I BELIEVE, THE

[8:27] STATE, HAS BEEN A LITTLE DELAYED

[8:30] THIS YEAR.

[8:32] AND THEN ALSO WANT TO GIVE ONE

[8:35] MORE UPDATE ABOUT THE CONTACT

[8:37] STUDY I USUALLY GIVE A REGULAR

[8:40] UPDATE ON BUT THE MINLESS

[8:42] AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORICAL

[8:44] STUDY IS WITH HISTORICAL SOCIETY

[8:46] FOR FINAL APPROVAL AND GRANT

[8:47] CLOSEOUT.

[8:48] WE HAVE RELEASED A REQUEST FOR

[8:50] PROPOSAL, SO AN R.F.P., TO

[8:53] PREPARE THE MULTIPLE PROPERTY

[8:56] DOCUMENT FORM AND NATIONAL

[8:59] REGISTER NOMINATIONS.

[9:01] THIS IS KIND OF PHASE THREE OF

[9:02] THIS LONGER PROGRAM.

[9:03] THIS IS OUR UNDERREPRESENTED

[9:05] COMMUNITIES GRANT THROUGH THE

[9:07] NATIONAL PARKS SERVICE, BUT WE

[9:10] HAVE SELECTED THE THREE NATIONAL

[9:11] REGISTER NOMINATIONS AND

[9:13] RECEIVED OWNER CONSENT.

[9:14] THE THREE PROPERTIES ARE THE

[9:16] MINNESOTA SPOKESMAN RECORDER

[9:17] BUILDING, THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY

[9:18] COMMUNITY CENTER, AND THE HARRY

[9:21] DAVIS SENIOR HOUSE.

[9:24] PROPOSALS ARE DUE AUGUST 4, SO

[9:26] WE ARE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF

[9:29] THAT PROCUREMENT PROCESS OR

[9:31] BEGINNING THE PROCUREMENT

[9:31] PROCESS TO STILL CARRY OUT THAT

[9:35] WORK.

[9:35] BUT THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATES.

[9:37] THANKS.

[9:41] >> ANY COMMISSIONERS?

[9:44] OKAY.

[9:45] WITH THAT, WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL

[9:46] ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS

[9:48] MEETING.

[9:48] I WILL ASK MEMBERS AND STAFF

[9:49] ONCE MORE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER

[9:51] MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THIS

[9:52] MEETING.

[9:55] OKAY.

[9:55] THERE BEING NO OTHER BUSINESS TO

[9:56] COME BEFORE THIS MEETING, AND

[9:58] WITHOUT OBJECTION, I DECLARE

[9:59] THIS MEETING ADJOURNED.
