CITY OF CORTEZ
123 ROGER SMITH AVENUE
CORTEZ, CO 81321
November 8, 2022
Agenda Item: 7.a.
MEMO TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Scott Baker, Grants Administrator
SUBJECT:
Resolution 31, Series 2022, supporting a grant application to the State Historical Society.
BACKGROUND
The Cortez Historic Preservation Board (CHPB) was established in 1996 and is an advisory board to the Cortez City Council. With its help the City of Cortez was designated as a Certified Local Government (CLG) by the National Park Service in 2010, enabling the City to seek CLG grants from the Colorado Historical Society and History Colorado. Per the rules of CLG, the CHPB maintains an inventory of historic properties and continues to design work that will add to or enhance this system. To date CHPB has secured more than 19 grant awards in this manner, with funding altogether exceeding $149,600. Most recent efforts have included a comprehensive, City-wide assessment of historic properties (2021), and a survey of 17 auto-tourism properties built in the 1950’s (2022).
For the 2023-2024 cycle, CHPB is requesting to submit a new CLG application for $20,000, which will provide funding to conduct a professional survey of 19 new, high-priority commercial and residential sites in Cortez. The draft proposal deadline is December 9, 2022.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve Resolution 31, Series 2022, supporting a grant application to pay for a historic property survey of 19 high-priority commercial and residential properties within the City of Cortez.
A possible motion would be: I move to approve Resolution No. 31, Series 2022, supporting a grant application to History Colorado for a historic property survey of 19 high priority commercial and residential properties within the City of Cortez.
