Director's Report
January 9, 2006
1. The County will be
initiating the budget process for FY' 07 in the near future. I
anticipate that the Commission will be recommended for a current level
budget, meaning that there will be no betterments.
2. The Charlotte City
Council did approve historic landmark designation for the Elizabeth
Lawrence House and Garden and the McQuay House.
3. The Board of County
Commissioners did approve replenishment money for the HLC's revolving
fund and money for Charlotte Trolley, Inc. to assist with the
construction of a restoration barn and museum facility.
4. The Board of County
Commissioners approved a resolution naming January 4, 2006 "Jack Orr
Boyte Day" as requested by the HLC.
5. I will be teaching a
class at UNCC on Mondays that last until 5:50PM. Consequently, I
am requesting that the February, March, and April meetings of the HLC
begin at 6:30 p.m., not 6:00 p.m.
6. I will be meeting this
Thursday evening with owners of commercial buildings on Main St. in
Pineville to discuss how the preservation of the buildings might be
achieved. This is part of the Commission's preservation strategy
for the town.
7. The Survey Committee will
be meeting on January 26th to consider several draft Survey and Research
Reports which UNCC students produced during the Fall semester on
buildings in Davidson. A UNCC intern will be working with the Town
of Davidson in devising a comprehensive preservation strategy for the
town.
8. A bus tour of HLC
projects was conducted on January 8th.
