The Commission showed their concern that with the new expenses for the Mayor's Awards and the likeliness that event spaces may not be donated to the commission for free in the future that they will be unable to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to the public as all of their funds will be dedicated to the ceremony that is held early on in the year. Commissioner Savel noted that if the funds given to the Heritage Commission are kept at the existing amount, the commission may need to reconsider the structure of the event (i.e. no food/refreshments), or they will not be able to help fund projects that have given Elgin local, state and national attention. Some examples that the Commission has helped fund/kick start include the Elgin History Museum's documentary, "Dairies to Prairies;" the Downtown Neighborhood Association's"Downtown Walking Tour" brochures; the D.C.

As many residents and visitors look forward to this event, the Commissioners noted that they do not want to sacrifice the quality of the ceremony but will need to reevaluate what they have and seek additional assistance in the future to be able to pay for the rising costs of the Mayor's Awards. Commissioner Anderson made the motion to award Eventastik, Inc. with catering the Mayor's Awards. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Savel. Elgin Heritage Commission:Minutes Page 3 February 6,2018 r Commissioner Rowe asked for clarification regarding the menu provided by Eventastik as it does not state how many or what the Hors d'ouerves were going to be. The Commissioners agreed that they need a little more information regarding this cost estimate to ensure that both estimates were comparable. Staff stated that she will receive a more detailed menu for comparison. Commissioner Savel moved to amend the motion by adding the words, "if menu for Hors d'ouerves are comparable to the second caterer's cost estimate with an amount not to exceed $2,218." The motion was seconded by Commissioner Krebsbach. The motion passed unanimously. F. New Business 1. Historic Rehabilitation Grants a. Staff reminded the Commission that the Historic Rehabilitation Grants are now open and applications may be picked up at the Community Development Department or could be downloaded online. In regards to the City Council's comments last year, staff provided an evaluation of last year's grant applicants and the scoring sheet to the Commissioners. She noted E1116' that a comment made by City Council was regarding the points awarded to non- owner occupied (3 points) and owner occupied (5 points) in Part 4 of the 50-50 Grant scoring sheet. Some of the Council Members expressed their interest in seeing less points be given to the non-owner occupied applicants while favoring owners who live on the property. Staff gave the Commissioners the score sheet from 2017 with the total points awarded (3 points non-owner occupied; 5 points owner occupied), in addition with a score sheet with the same applicants but with the total points awarded adjusted to 0 points for non-owner occupied and 5 points for owner occupied. The outcome showed the same results (applicants that were awarded with the old point system were still awarded with the new point system) though the points were minimally closer to each other. Although the difference in total awarded points was minimal and the outcome did not change, the Commission felt that the adjustment should still be made for the 2018 Grant year. Commissioner Rowe made the motion to adjust the scoring for non-owner occupied properties from 3 points to 0 points in Part 4 while maintaining the 5 points for owner-occupied properties. • J.

However, they were not doing it for a profit but because they loved the home and believe in the overwhelming impact restoration and rehab can do to a neighborhood.The Commission agreed with Commissioner Savel. r Elgin Heritage Commission:Minutes Page 6 March 6,2018 A motion was made by Commissioner Thoren to recommend the nomination for a Mayor's Award.

Historic District Signage Staff received two bids for the historic district signage and presented to the Commission. A motion was made by Commissioner Anderson to recommend using Tapco Signs (lowest, qualified bidder) for the creation of 30 historic district signs. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bauer. The motion passed unanimously. b. Historic Resources Survey Commissioner Anderson asked if the Commission should seek a grant for the survey as the State Historic Preservation Office offers grants every year for this type of purpose. Staff noted that she has looked into these grants, however, the Commission would need to come up with 25%of the total project cost and based on previous surveys completed, the Heritage Commission's budget would not cover the 25%.Therefore, it is recommended to still perform the survey as a volunteer project but if this does not work, circling back to the grants may need to be done. r Commissioner Anderson also noted that the survey form should also include door configurations as doors are significant elements to the home. Chairman Wiedmeyer noted that it may be more difficult for surveyors to be able to tell what the door configuration is or if it is made out of wood or metal as they are only able to do the survey from the sidewalk, and there could be storm doors blocking what may be an original door. Chairman Wiedmeyer suggested that a photograph of the door be taken rather than putting another field onto the form causing more time to be spent at each property. The Commissioners agreed that a photograph of the door would be more helpful and that if the door can be seen, and is significant, then it can be noted in the Significant Features section of the form. c. Web Based App a) Photographs: Staff noted that the photographs needed have all been taken and that she will begin to upload them to the website. d.

Reports from Neighborhood Groups on Heritage Related Activities Elgin Heritage Commission:Minutes Page 2 September 4,2018 a. Commissioner Rowe thanked Commissioner Thoren for offering an auction prize for the Elgin History Museum's summer soiree. The prize was a ride in his Model-T and a tour of the Wing Mansion.The prize was well sought after as two couples bid $400 each. b. Commissioner Rowe noted that the Elgin History Museum's Cemetery Walk will be held on Sunday, September 23rd beginning at 11:00AM.There will be a family friendly walk beginning at 3:00PM. c. Commissioner VanDusen stated that this upcoming Saturday and Sunday will be the Gifford Park Association's annual Housewalk which will be located in the Spring- Douglas Historic District. 2. 2018 Elgin Heritage Commission Goals a. Historic Resources Survey Staff stated that she has not been able to connect with her contact at Judson University regarding the survey exercise. She is hoping to hear from him after the first couple weeks of school has gone by to schedule a date for the students to head out to the survey area. The Commissioners again discussed the inclusion of a doors field in the survey. The overall consensus was that it is difficult to see the design of the door as most people have storm doors in front blocking the view of the actual door. It was noted that photographs are more beneficial as there are endless door designs and trying to describe each one would be time consuming when out in the field. Commissioner Anderson made a motion to include the door field into the survey form. There was no second. The motion falls to the floor. b. Elgin Historic District and Landmark Design Guidelines a) Commissioner Anderson stated that highlighting key architectural features with photographs exhibit each style that could be found in the historic districts was extremely beneficial and very easy to read. Commissioner Rowe agreed that the format worked well but questioned if there will be a glossary of terms to further explain architectural features. Staff stated that there will be a glossary of terms that borrows from what is currently in the guidelines but will elaborate more with possible images next to the term. Staff stated that she will be including changes of the content of the guidelines for discussion at the upcoming Design Review Subcommittee meetings. After their approval, the changes will be brought to the Heritage Commission for review and then will brought before City Council for their review and approval. G. New Business a. Review of National Register Nomination for 1212 Larkin Avenue Commissioner Anderson questioned why Criterion C (architectural significance) was r Elgin Heritage Commission:Minutes Page 3 September 4,2018 not marked for the qualification to the National Register of Historic Places. Staff noted that it is typically easier for National Register approval to only focus on one criterion and it may have been a situation where the authors had a better case and more information to discuss the Larkin Center's influence from its social history than with its architectural significance. Staff also stated that Illinois Historic Preservation Division's staff work closely with nominators and likely have made this decision to not include Criterion C through some lengthy debate. The Commissioners agreed that this building is worthy of being placed on the National Register of Historic Places as it is already a local landmark and it will bring more attention to the building. A motion was made by Commissioner Anderson that the property and the nomination satisfies the National Register criteria and supports the inclusion of the Larkin Home for Children to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Krebsbach. The motion passed unanimously. b. December Plaque Awards—Tuesday, December 4, 2018 a) Staff stated that there are potentially five plaques that will be awarded at December's plaque awards. (a) She stated that in addition with the five plaques, there are two replacement plaques that will need to be made. She stated that new plaques will need to be made with the reimbursement of material cost. Commissioner Krebsbach stated that he could help with painting of the plaques, if needed. A motion was made by Commissioner Rowe to set aside$125.00 for the materials of the plaques. The motion was seconded by Commissioner VanDusen. The motion passed unanimously. b) Staff asked the Commission to begin to brainstorm for ideas of topics and speakers for the December Plaque Awards and that we will circle back to this discussion at the October meeting. c. City Hall—50th Anniversary celebration Staff stated that the celebration will likely be at the December 19th City Council meeting where a proclamation will be read by Mayor Kaptain highlighting the significance of not only the City Hall's but the City of Elgin's past 50 years.There will be cake in the lobby along with a slideshow of historic photographs showing in the background. Staff stated that she has tried to get a hold of Mike Alft as he was the Mayor at the time the building was built. The Commissioners noted that Mr. Alft may not be able Elgin Heritage Commission:Minutes Page 4 September 4,2018 to make the event as it is so close to the holidays. Commissioner Rowe suggested to contact Elizabeth Marston just in case Mr. Alft was not aware of the invitation. Commissioner Rowe also suggested that if Mr. Alft cannot attend the celebration that Bill Briska could accept the proclamation on behalf of Mr. Alft. H. Other Business 1.
