I  RECORD OF THE COLINCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT CHARLES. MISSOURI March4,2025 Councilmember Denise Mitchell provided the foilowing updates on the Landmarks Board: A Landmarks Awards Subcommittee was formed to bring back the annual preservation awards. Not only does this honor some special projects but it also shows the community our City's commitment to preserving our historic fabric. These projects are to be honored in May during Preservation Month. The subcommittee has selected Tuesday,5120 as the Council meeting that the Mayor will be presenting the awards. Since this presentation has been paused since 2020 we have a few retroactive projects that we will be honoring as well as some that were completed this past year and two individuals that will be awarded for their contributions to preservation. A total of 7 were decided upon and we look forward to celebrating these achievements with the winners in Mav. Staff has been researching what other cities ordinances are with regard to demolition review and consulting with the State Historic Preservation Office. It looks as if our process is one of the best, but the Board and staff are continuing discussions with regard to some possible minor adjustments. Will keep you posted. Additionally the Board talked about LEDs and we asked the staff for some lighting updates and guidelines regarding them in for the historic districts. With more and more LED fixtures coming on the market, and incandescent and florescent lights becoming part ofour past, we need guidelines on lumens and color. Are they allowed in some historic areas but not others? If they are allowed what is the maximum temperature color allowed...Is it 3000 kelvin or is it different in different districts? We don't want the light to overpower the light fixture at night and we don't want the light to be too orange or too blue in these historic areas. Either way Landmarks believes that the City needs to address this in our code and we hope that staff can look into this further. 2  RECORD OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT CHARLES, MISSOURI March 4,2025 PUB LIC HEARING Council President Michael Galba announced the Public Hearing will now be held.
