Walking Tour and Handout Update
Associate Planner Brokenshire distributed draft samples of a modified historic preservation handout and asked
if there would be interest in updating the flyer with an FAQ section on the back. She noted that they could apply
for a Hubbard grant for about $5000 to get new ones printed. They could also update the map (a separate
handout) and have it reprinted, but that would require some graphic design services first since the pdf is not
editable.
There were suggestions to include updated ads and a link/QR code to the application. Commissioner Deiner-
Karr also suggested making a poster with the information and the QR code at some point. Commissioners
thought the handout would be useful at the market and possibly for handing out to potential Register applicants.
Commissioner Spencer expressed concern that it might be too much information and could overwhelm potential
applicants. Chair Vogel was not in favor of deleting any information. Ms. Brokenshire requested that
commissioners cross out sections they don't think are necessary, make any other suggested edits, and return it
at the next meeting.
Commissioner Preston suggested applying for the Hubbard grant for the calendar instead of the handouts. There
was some discussion about the $15,000 grant that was already received from the State for the additional study
to look at areas outside of the bowl area. Commissioners discussed ideas for the criteria for the consultants to
use for that project. Ms. Brokenshire said she could apply for the Hubbard grant in August for the calendars and
apply again in December for the preservation guides and walking tour handouts. There was consensus to move
forward with this. The Commission thanked Ms. Brokenshire for all of her work and creativity.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Calendar Discussion
Commissioner Deiner-Karr said she had sent out an email to commissioners with dates for the calendar and
requested that they note dates they don't think need to be on there. She will continue to work on the grid for the
calendar. There was some discussion about changes at the museum and whether Commissioner Kelly or
someone else from the museum will be helping with this.
2. DAHP Grant Update
Ms. Brokenshire explained that the next step is determining criteria for the consultant.
ACTION ITEMS
Commissioner Deiner-Karr is making a folder online of the houses that are on the list and compiling all the
historical data she can find on them. She also brought up a house on 9t' near the Methodist church that would
be a good one to try to get on the list. Commissioner Spencer asked her to send him the address.
Commissioner Spencer wondered what happened to 1017 "A" Avenue South's application. Ms. Brokenshire
thought that was going out for public noticing. There was some discussion about that area and including
corridors where there are clusters of historic homes on the walking tours pamphlet.

Chair Vogel asked about doing press events for plaque presentations. Ms. Brokenshire offered to provide the
plaques and notify the mayor in case he is able to show up. The group debated what the presentations would
look like. Commissioner Spencer will try to find a couple homeowners who want to have a ceremony, find a
date that works for them, and report back to the group.
Commissioner Deiner-Karr commented that the Edmonds in Bloom garden tour group might be a source for
getting more homes. Chair Vogel concurred and noted he had suggested that the HPC have a representative at
the starting point of the tour to hand out materials and also have representatives available at each of the homes.
COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS
Chair Vogel encouraged HPC members to look through the calendar dates before the next meeting. He
expressed appreciation to Ms. Brokenshire for her great ideas.

attend some meetings.
