Update 2012 Annual Statewide Historic Preservation Conference <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens introduced Karen Bode Baxter, president of Missouri Preservation and <br />that she was in attendance to help further explain ways the HPC could assist in the <br />historic preservation awards for the conference in October. <br /> <br />Ms. Baxter provided a summary of the conference to be held in October including <br />events and location. She stated that there was always a workshop each year that dealt <br />with historic tax credits which brought in many professionals. She stated that on Friday <br />of the conference there was an awards ceremony over lunch. The awards are intended <br />for projects and/or people in University City who have influenced preservation efforts <br />within University City. She stated that what they are asking for is that the HPC come up <br />with a name for the awards. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt asked if the HPC was to name an award after somebody and then give <br />that award for a project. <br /> <br />Ms. Baxter stated that the award is to be named after that person. She stated that all <br />the awards are named for that person, the award is only given out one time, and all the <br />awards will carry <br />recognized for all their accomplishments, and then up to five awards will be given out <br />people who had done multiple projects. Sometimes it could be an organization that has <br />done a lot for preservation. She stated that there were no time constraints for when any <br />projects occurred. It could be an older project that helped start other projects. She <br />added that they liked to see a mixture of residential and commercial projects awarded. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith asked if the Commission was to reach out to organizations for nominations for <br />award titles and or actual awards. <br /> <br />Ms. Baxter stated that they could do both.

She added that she was <br />not fully comfortable naming a person for the award. <br /> <br />Ms. Baxter stated they had had occasions in which there were two names for the award. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt stated they could get information from Ms. Baxter tonight and have further <br />discussion. She added that the Commission should bring the Historical Society into the <br />910 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
