4.A.1. Guidance from Kelli Bacon, Certified Local Government Coordinator 
Discussion:
Kelli Bacon, Certified Local Government Coordinator, passed out information on the steps to become a Certified Local Government and other documents with tips on becoming a successful CLG. Bacon explained the CLG is a historic preservation assistance program that is available all around the country to villages, cities, counties and local governments. To become a CLG you just have to meet the minimum requirements. A CLG helps to educate the community and property owners with resources about the appropriate way to redevelop or remodel their homes or buildings. Also, helping to educate the public on the history of the structures in town. 
A portion of the funds that the state receives from the Historic Preservation Fund is transferred annually by subgrants. The state annually transfers at least 10 percent of its share of the HPF to CLGs meeting minimum requirements of these procedures. 
Bacon provided information on the timeline for grants. She explained the following:
April 1st the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the grant application becomes available
July 1st the CLG grant application is due 
August SHPO approves grant applications & prepares grant agreements 
September CLG & SHPO sign grant agreement 
October 1st Grant performance period begins 
Bacon explained that to become a Certified Local Government, the following must be included in the packet that will be sent to NeSHPO.
- Historic preservation ordinance
-Commission member resumes
-Statement of purpose 
- List of local landmarks 
-Any survey work completed
- Name/contact information of the city contact person who will serve as the director of the historic preservation commission/CLG program as well as the person's resume. 
Once NeSPO receives the packet they have 30 days to review the information. If they approve it they will send it to the National Park Service. They generally have 45 days to respond, but depending on how busy they are it may take longer.
