Chair Person Tom King stated that at the last meeting it was discussed to work on the resumes to submit. There was discussion about the resumes from scratch or having a template provided. 
The Historic Preservation Commission is going to continue working on the following;
- Finishing commission member resumes 
- Statement of purpose 
- Make a plan for what the city wants. 
- Find out if there are examples (City Administrator Tom Ourada provided King with two examples of written purpose). Those examples were provided during the meeting. 
King suggested that commission member Janet Jeffries  write a draft of the statement of purpose, and they could all discuss it at the next meeting. 
Commission member Janet Jeffries asked why Crete wants to be a Certified Local Government. Ourada stated that, in his opinion, there are a number of reasons and there is no point to have a Historic Preservation Commission if you don't have authority to benefit the community. Commission member Jennifer Robison asked if there are rules associated with a CLG. Ourada explained that they will have a base frame for what a CLG looks like, but the commission can decide how aggressive it will be. The CLG would be the preservation professionals. 
King stated that they could invite the Chair of the Ashland Historic Preservation Committee to ask questions about how they became a Certified Local Government and how it going for them and if they have any issues they are coming across. There was discussion about reaching out to other people who have been involved in preservation work and getting their insight. Ourada mentioned that there is a City Administrator in Auburn, Nebraska who could also provide insight in economic development and historical preservation. Ourada also explained that he will ask Kelli Bacon who she would recommend would be good, since she has worked with all the Certified Local Governments.  King asked Janet Jeffries to come up with a draft of the statement of purpose and it will be discussed at the next meeting. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.
