200 E. Wells Street City of Milwaukee Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 Meeting Minutes HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ANN PIEPER EISENBROWN, CHAIR Ald. Robert Bauman, Marion Clendenen-Acosta, Brad Hoeschen, Matt Jarosz, Anna-Marie Opgenorth, and Blair Williams Staff Assistant, Linda Elmer, 286-2231, Fax: 286-3456, lelmer@milwaukee.gov HPC Planners: Carlen Hatala, 286-5722, chatal@milwaukee.gov; Paul Jakubovich, 286-5712, pjakub@milwaukee.gov Monday, May 12, 2014 3:00 PM Room 301-B, Third Floor, City Hall 1. Roll call. Meeting convened: 3:03 P.M. Present: 5 - Pieper Eisenbrown, Jarosz, Hoeschen, Opgenorth, Clendenen-Acosta Absent: 1 - Williams Excused: 1 - Bauman 2. Review and approval of the minutes of the April 15, 2014 meeting. Mr. Hoeschen moved, seconded by Anna-Marie Opgenorth, for approval of the minutes. There were no objections. 3. Update on the plaquing program. Individuals present: Dustin Weis and Dan Mrotek - Public Relations Division Mr. Mrotek went through his handout and PowerPoint presentation, attached to file 130422 of the many options available to the Commission. Non-standard sizes, those not being rectangles, squares or circles, will increase the cost. QR code technology might be dated and cause probelms in the future and the other possibility is to list a web address on the plaque itself or take a picture with a phone and link directly to the website. The Commission has a number of text fonts to choose from. Mr. Hoeschen asked if the HPC logo could be on the plaques. Mr. Hoeschen was concerned that QR codes might not be updated or be unflattering to HPC or the city. The Public Relations Division could post and maintain sites for the structures, but Mr. Hoeschen was not sure he wanted city staff doing this. He also asked if the HPC logo or the city seal could be optional as the city isn't paying for these plaques. Mr. Jarosz would like to get pictures of the current plaques on local buldings, such as the National Landmark plaques and the county plaque. Mr. Jarosz said that over time a number of plaques become hard to read. The plaque needs to be easy to read and be able to maintain that over time. Mr. Hoeschen thought that sans serif fonts are easier to read from a distance. Ms. Opgenorth moved to not have the electronic elements on the plaque. Mr. Mrotek will provide members with pictures of the local plaques. The Commission does require that some text is required explaining the historical City of Milwaukee Page 1 HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes May 12, 2014 COMMISSION signficance of the site. Staff will provide differing sizes of the plaque so the Commission can see what varying plaques might look like. Ms. Opgenorth likes the oval shape and Mr. Jarosz said that add text that shows that the site is locally designated, rather than designated by the owner. Mr. Jarosz would like some kind of logo and Mr. Hoeschen would like it as well if it doesn't add a lot of expense. Members did not want to number the plaques and would be referred to as "locally designated". The owner may affix the plaque with an adhesive or bolts depending upon the material to which it is being affixed. Mr. Mrotek will take text from the County Historical Society plaque to add to the sample. 4. Announcement of the recipients of the Cream of the Cream City awards.
