Of course, the secretary will be the one who will perform the roll call and uh be recording minutes for those meetings. So, >> I will turn it over to the board. >> Um I believe that the chair at least has to be a resident of Fort Richie. Is that
correct? >> I don't have that information in front of me, but I would probably recommend that. >> What about the vice chair? If you give me a moment, I can see if I can pull up the resolution on that. Give
me a moment to try and pull that in. >> Take me about a minute, a couple minutes. >> Should have made copies for that. >> Basically runs the meeting. >> Runs the meeting. They run the meeting. that the agenda would be prepared. >> The secretary usually lets Ashley know
and then Ashley will prepare this the agenda. >> Not secretary because I'm already secretary for the events committee. >> Did you want to be secretary? >> I think I better not. I am so on the
preservation board. It's a lot. I'm asking Courtney if she might want to be because she's local. >> Yeah, please ask her. >> Do you know? >> No, but I we need Member Sullivan, do you recall if we we
did we did a revised re resolution for the historical committee or we basically going off what's on the previous code? >> I do recall that there was a that the chair at least did have to be a resident of Port Richie, but I'm just not sure about the vice chair, but I feel like
maybe the register should be as well. Are there others that >> I think to be on the safe side we can go ahead and do that. Um you of course once I locate this resolution we can we can make any amended changes or anything moving forward.
it. I believe there was something in maybe our own code that required that chairs of our committees had to be residents. I remember that coming up. >> I think
>> yeah, that was when we were opening it up to people outside of the city. that was approved but not on the chair. >> Okay. So, if we're going to move forward with that, which I have I have no issues
with at this time. Um I member Leri I know is outside the city. Um and I know that the two of you member Hubard and Sullivan are inside the city. And are you you're out? >> I'm outside. >> Okay. So, do we have a a nomination for a chair
person? I'd like to nominate Laurel Hubbert for Hubard for chair. >> I'll second. >> Second. Okay. >> Okay. We have a motion and a second for Laurel Hubard to be chairperson. Um we'll bring that out to public
comment. There's no one here. Bring that back to a vote. All in favor? >> I vote for me. >> It's okay. You can vote for yourself. >> So, >> thank you, Mrs. You're
>> so go to the big chair. >> Okay. So, moving forward for vice chair. Do I have an do I have a nomination or a motion? >> Does I I would like to nominate Christine. >> Second.
>> We have a motion and a second for Christine Sullivan to serve as vice chair. Um, go ahead and bring that back for public comment. There is no one here. I don't know why I keep turning my head. >> Well, somebody could walk in. You never know. >> Thank you.
>> I I just don't want you to think that I'm just doing it for nothing. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Um, all in favor? >> I I >> I Okay. >> And so our last position will be secretary. Um, do we have a a motion for
secretary? >> Could I make a a comment that I am trying to check with Courtney if she would be available, but we've not heard yet. Does that have to be decided this evening? >> Can we table that until the next meeting? >> We can table that. This meeting will be
recorded and and so the the you know to document minutes will be available. We can always go back to the recording. So that'll be fine. >> Yeah, >> we can we can table that if we if everyone's okay with that. >> Yes, >> I'm fine. Yes. Do we need a motion to table it or >> uh probably be best
>> motion to table the secretary? >> Okay. >> Second. >> Um after this motion, I'm going to turn I'm going to start turning everything over to you to go ahead and move forward on, you know, item number two. Um so I have
a motion and a second to table uh the position of secretary. Um there's no one here from the public to comment. Uh all in favor? I >> I >> Okay, motion passed to table the secretary position. All right. So, that takes care of all
the organization parts of it so far. >> May I ask something regarding the um how many's here? Are you open to others that would want to be on the board? >> Absolutely. >> Yes, we we have >> if I like I said, give me a m there's
there's there's still positions open. So, I don't know what the total number is, but >> Oh, okay. >> I know I know we have we have I want to say at least >> I thought it was the same as events. I thought it was nine. >> It could be up to nine, I think. Let me check on that, but it's it could be up to nine. So, it's going to be an odd
number anyway. So, it's going to be seven or nine. >> So, right right now we have one, Courtney, three. Okay. >> And your friend, six. >> Well, I thought I counted her. There's someone else. Oh, and you
>> I mean I'm not I'm just I'm just helping this meet this particular needle. >> So, >> all right. So, at least >> so it's either gonna be seven or nine because we want to keep it odd. So, I know there's open there's open positions for more, but I >> That's good to know. >> So, please invite. >> Yeah.
>> I'm thinking of other families that have property here and some are old-timers. So, >> wonderful. >> And we opened this up to uh people not only in the city but outside the city as well. So it it you know uh as long as you bring that to the board and then I believe council makes the final um
nominations to that board during their regular meetings, it won't be an issue. >> Okay. All right. Sounds great. Thank you. >> Okay. So with all the nominations uh currently done for now, like I said, we'll move secretary to the next meeting, next scheduled meeting. Um I'm
going to turn over um item number two to our chairperson, Laurel Hubard. Number two, discussion on the development of the historical preservation committee. >> So what does that mean?
>> This is basically introductory. So >> right, >> um I'm here to uh to just be like basically help you as far as like what where we're currently at um as far as the uh what we've done in the past. Um
we haven't had an active historical committee for several several years. >> Um time >> the during our centennial um member Lairi and myself were a part of uh history and heritage day for the for the
centennial celebration. Um it was the very it was the first time in a very long time that we brought out all the archived information that's located in our vault. um basically um old newspaper clippings, new uh old photographs,
information, minutes, everything. We basically displayed everything out here in in the council chambers. And what we did for that day was basically a combination of a museum day and uh a tour which um we came up with a I
believe 15 locations on tour if I'm if I'm accurate that we had a tour bus um drive throughout the you know throughout the I think it was like a 4 hour uh 4 hour event and the tour bus went from city hall to certain areas in the in the uh community uh pointing out their
historical value and and and bringing some information to that. And then we um actually Kim, if you can pronounce Tom Thomas's last name. >> Monzan. Monzan. >> Yes. >> Uh Thomas. >> Tomas.
>> Tomas. Yeah. He he actually was the uh uh the >> tour guide. >> Tour guide and presenter for the tour. It went really well. It was a good It was a nice day for everybody. Um we actually you know found out like I said there was like 15 areas within the port within Port Richie that you know we had
some good his uh history about. So um from that um the committee can go ahead and decide what direction they want to go with. Um they want to go through some of that historical information you know schedule
more more museum days. um start talking about historical properties in the city um and their historical value um you know maybe maybe move forward and coordinate with the development services department um because especially with
Hurricane Helen there's been issues of you know uh more and more homes slated for demolition due to um the you know the construction of the home and and it you know it fell it fell over the 50% um range and it would have to be taken
down. But if if the home or property poses a historical value, then that's maybe something you you you as a committee would want to sit in and weigh in and look at and see if there's another route to be taken. Um, these are just thoughts that I think that the
committee should consider and maybe work on. If there's anything else that the committee wants to think about um and bring to the table, it's it's it's your committee and feel free to do that. Um I know I know uh if you want to go ahead and explain some of what the West West
Pesco um historical society does then we can you know um if anyone has any information on what they do then we can you know maybe adopt some of their actions and some of some of the items that they do. >> Yes. Um there's two things. So, West Pasco
Historical Society. We just met last evening and um we've got some great people on as far as archival things. Um if you go on our site, but um I'm also
on the Newport Richie Historic Preservation Board. And so what I was wondering and I don't know if it's allowed but um we've got two that are areas
for the city when we meet. That's what you >> So, um, we're in the process of, um, setting up city of Newport Richie standards for designation of historical significance
>> and there are several categories that we've just started. So, I was wondering if maybe um one I'll just go with the ver well Gabriella Miyagi and Dale Hall are both the two
that alternate sometimes sometimes together when we do meet. So, I think it would be great because they are the experts. I've got a big book here, but I'm still learning myself. if they could
possibly come to our next meeting and and explain what we're in the process of doing. We're um I'm looking for the verb correct verbiage, but there's a CLG application that um we as the city have
to do in order to actually start finding the different categories that could be of historic significance. >> Yeah. So they would be much better at explaining because we are right in the
process of that. So I don't know is that I think it would be a great connection and Tomas Monzone is on our preservation board that um we've done the tours and that kind of thing. So, I don't know who would want
to I've got the information here >> if you would want to >> take a picture of the two cards and um I think I've Yeah, I've got Gabriella and and Dale's and then ask if they could possibly want once we set up the next
meeting be our guest speaker and get us started. >> Can I just take a picture of those? >> Yes. If you want, I can make photo copies for everybody. >> Excuse me. >> I can make photo copies of the cards for everybody. >> Oh, okay. >> And then that way
>> photo of course. >> That'd be good. >> And I I certainly would think because this is this is after hours for them. >> Um that perhaps they could give up their personal time to come help us. I think
>> that's a great idea. >> Yeah, they're great. And it's quite the process of even getting this application in for our members and we had to fill out some paperwork. >> So we're moving forward on that. But
>> great can kind of piggy back up what's going on in Richie which is perfect timing. >> Yeah. >> Perfect timing since it'll be fresh on everybody's minds. >> Y that's great. I'm trying to look at some of my notes here.
So, we're trying to do a certified application to the state for our city to be able to start designating. Let me see if I can find the categories, too.
See, we've got a handout here. Criteria for evaluation, area of significance, period of significance, and integrity. So, there's there's a lot, and it's really fun that um >> to start working on it. >> Yeah. Um, I can I know that
um with Courtney I was telling Laurel that um her grandparents let's see it's Yeah, I think it would be her grandparents greatgrandfather probably had the original Sunset Landing
>> there the Marina and um I know there is a great things. Oh boy. nice and big. Um, there is I was telling Laurel too that right down from
the landing there's like a little white cottage and that was my grandfather. So I was telling her my first generation of was of the for Pasco County was in the mid 1800s and had
named Seven Springs. And so, um, my grandfather that would have been the third generation had a sister, um, Aunt Cora, great aunt Cora. She was
married to Basil Gaines. So, so Coral Stevenson married Basil Gaines. That little cabin there where they It is adorable. It's a little white one. So, I'd be interested to see who still owns that. Mhm.
>> Um but um so Kora married uh Lewis Gaines and their son was Basil Gaines who became sheriff of Pasco County. >> Oh, neat. >> Yeah. So now then there's the next generation
>> that is locally of Gaines Stevenson Gaines. So we've got a lot of cool history here. So fun. >> That is neat. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Absolutely. So if we invite them to attend, I would recommend that we also invite someone
from development services here too so they can assist. >> Okay. If you guys are okay with that, >> that sounds good. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Even if one can come, they might have to, you know, >> but it'd be great if they both could
come, but um we'll just have to see do >> hole. I know that name sounds. I'm assuming that Veronica's probably had contact with these people before >> since they're part of development services at Newport Richie. >> I'm sure she's if there was someone, you
know, someone had contact with him, probably her >> and um she's probably going to have the most knowledge for the fact that she's been here um at least 15 years. So, she's going to have um she's going to have previous knowledge. Do we ask who do we ask do we have to ask the city manager for permission for Veronica to
be here or >> since that's a staff request? >> No, I can I can pass that along as soon as um as soon as you set your next date for meetings and I would also recommend to talk about that as well as um how the
frequency of the meetings and you know start setting dates so then that way everyone can start planning that on their itinerary and calendars. So, I would just I'm just making that recommendation between now and when you end this meeting to have them. >> How often does Newport Richie have a meeting?
>> Right now, we're we're every two months, but we kind of feel like we should be doing each month, but we're trying to get this init initiated. And so, >> I think, not that I like meetings, but I' I'd say
once a month is >> good. >> Okay. what they're going to be doing. >> Make a motion for meetings once a month for the historic committee. >> Second. All in favor? >> All in favor? Hi. Hi. >> Hi.
>> I'm sorry. That's way I got used to him saying >> and I would think that once you get started, if you think that it should be every two, we can always change it. Yeah. >> But to get started, I think it would be great. >> And what about dates for the meeting
with the second Thursday? Does that work for everybody at six o'clock? >> Second Thursday. I think >> or is five better >> for her? I was five is better for her >> or was of the month. Is that what you just said?
>> Is 5:00 better? >> Yeah, this is the second. >> It's up to you all. Six works better for me because I work, right? Okay. >> Six would be fine. >> Okay. >> And it might help if Gabrielle or Gail are going to can come. They would have
to do after work hours. >> Okay. Anyway, so six would be I would think six. >> The only issue I have with next month um we have the seafood festival on the 14th >> and we're just going to be doing a lot
of prepar preparation with the events committee. So if we could maybe move next month's meeting to maybe the 19th if that >> you want to start in April. Just go ahead and start. >> That would actually be better so we can get our seafood festival stuff out of the way. >> Right. Okay. So that would
>> if that's okay with everyone. >> April 9th. >> April 9th. Did you >> So there'll be no meeting in March then? We're going to we're just going to have a meeting in April. Okay. >> That should give everyone time to set
that. >> Then should that be motioned? >> Does it need to be a motion, son? >> No. >> No. because you've already made the motion to start having the the meeting once a month. So just setting the date and everything is fine. >> So April 9th, Thursday at 6
and that'll be every second Thursday of the month. Now, these two liaison we have here, >> who who wants to contact them and see if they can come? >> I'm sorry. I can't >> these two liaison that that you gave us, >> who should contact them, see if they can
make it to that April 9th meeting. >> I could ask them. >> You want to ask them? >> Sure. >> Okay. And then we're going to see >> Ask Veronica. Veronica. Yeah. Very good. So, do we have any old business?
No, >> not yet. Next time. Next time we'll talk about this time. >> Okay. Anything else anybody wants to discuss about future meetings or >> the next meeting? I can actually get
together what we put to put together for history and heritage day. Um, okay. I did an entire tour guide for Tamas to go off of and we can prepare for the and as an agenda item so everybody can take a look at it and see what we did.
>> Great. That' be really location. It actually it actually even has like this is so and so's house and a fun some of it has like fun facts and things. So it was basically we went around the city and picked out all the you know historical sites and then did a little
write up on it. So >> that'd be good. Yeah. >> To did Tomas um create that list? >> I actually did it and then he went off of what I provided. Yes. >> Great. And where did you get all your information >> from being here
>> with style forever? >> Yes. >> Since ' 86. So um >> since 72. >> Yeah. >> So we went through, you know, between between what we can find on the internet, personal knowledge, going around the city. We we
>> Mr. Mallet actually helped. >> Mr. Mr. Mallet helped a lot. Yeah, he he took my my list and he said, "You only had a few things wrong." And he corrected it. So, but for the most part, everything was spot on. >> Very cool. >> Yeah, I'd like to see.
>> Yes, I'd love to see that. >> Yeah, we'll get that ready for the next agenda for the as an agenda item for the next meeting. >> Well, that was old business, then. >> Yes. >> I'll also include a copy of the resolution so you just verify everything. So, it'll be in the packet
and you guys can just review it and talk about it in case there's any changes we want to bring back to council so they can make those changes for the committee. So, I'll make sure that that's going to be in the next agenda for everyone to look at. >> Great. Thank you. >> And I just want to remind everyone now
since um we're not having a meeting till April, if there is anyone else that does want to be on the committee, um we have council we have council meetings. Uh we have We have council meetings in between then and we can we can get those people on
the committee before that meeting on >> if she could just know how to email. It's Ashley, correct? >> Well, email Ashley. I'll I'll go get her card when the meeting is over. So then you can just inform, you know, and just have them email Ashley that they are interested in being on the committee and
then we can get them on to the next council meeting and they can be voted on. So then when everyone comes and sits in April, we'll pro we hopefully we'll have more members by then. Um, how often do your when does your council meet?
