If
you live in, work in, or care about one of Salisbury's 10 historic districts, you
should attend the First Annual Meeting of the Historic Neighborhoods
Alliance ~ this Wednesday at 6PM at the Stokes~Snider House, 324 N
Fulton Street. This organization needs
support from residents of historic districts, neighborhood
organizations, and interested parties. The premise is that what has an
effect on one historic neighborhood affects all! </div>

dish to pass and see how you can help improve the quality of life in
Salisbury's downtown neighborhoods!</div>

HNA members have historically been 1-2 representatives from each historic neighborhood association. However, all historic neighborhoods do not have formally organized associations and we feel they should not be excluded. Further, there are aging neighborhoods, such as the City Park neighborhood, that do not have historic overlay designations but share similar issues as the designated districts.</div>

Many projects are on the HNA 'wish-list'. You could help these come to fruition! One such project is the Historic District Map & Driving Tour. This project is eligible for a grant from the Tourism Development Authority!</div>

<br />
<br />
Neighborhood Reports: concise update from each neighborhood. There were 5 neighborhoods represented at this meeting. <br />
<br />
· North Main Street (NMSHD): Sue McHugh introduced Julie Upp who is a new resident of the North Main neighborhood. She also told about the Arbor Day celebration on Miller Street. Several neighbors participated in the first Fork & Cork event. This is a progressive snack and drink event. Koco Java is staying open late to host their neighborhood association meetings. They are planning a group event for Pops at the Post on June 5th. They are considering a ‘revisit’ to their neighborhood watch program. Mark Martin (arborist with the City) will attend an upcoming neighborhood meeting.<br />
<br />
· Fulton Heights (FHHD): Andrew Pitner gave a review of the Buy History open house event. Christine mentioned that the FH board is discussing options for the neighborhood listserv communication tool that is no longer working. Several other neighborhoods said they would be interested in learning more about the next tool FH chooses to use.<br />
<br />
· West Square (WSHD): Betty Carli said their neighborhood has launched a lawn of distinction program. Janet and Keith Gapen are the first recipients. Their community watch program is working very well. Officer Anne recently told their board that West Square has the lowest crime rate in the City of Salisbury right now. They have 5 neighborhood parties planned for the rest of 2010. The July 4th party hopes to block a portion of Fulton Street for a parade. They are having another garage sale to raise funds. <br />
<br />
· North Ellis Graded School (NEGSHD): Debbie Lesley said the neighborhood is planning a social event for June. She told about the Plein Air Carolina group that set up at Shober Bridge and painted lovely images of the bridge. Some of them can be viewed at www.pleinaircarolina.com. The group discussed how nice it would be to have some of the paintings displayed in town (possibly Tastebuds). Debbie will check with Phyllis Steimel. <br />
<br />
· Park Avenue Historic District (PAHD): Garth Birdsey said they are working with Chris Branham (Code Enforcement). He is spending some time to identify problems in the neighborhood. Chris gave them a spreadsheet with problems he identified. The neighborhood has had a problem with final clean-up of the mill site. Some progress is being made and there is now a fence around the property. They do not have an organized neighborhood watch but are calling the police when they see problems. The VITA tax assistance was a good success. Garth has set up a Facebook page called Historic Salisbury, NC. He wants people to join and add photos or links to things of interest in Salisbury. He found it hard to find info about Salisbury all in one place.<br />
<br />
Historic Salisbury Foundation updates: Jack Thomson <br />
<br />
· <strong>HSF is organizing a formal presentation to City Council for June 15 to discuss Shober Bridge. This meeting has a public comment at the end of the meeting. Neighborhoods should send notice to their residents asking them to attend this meeting as a show of support – we’re looking to PACK THE ROOM- and looking for volunteers to step forward and speak at the end of the meeting about rehabilitating the bridge.</strong><br />
<br />
· He explained that HSF will have a number of speakers who will each articulate a particular point of view on the rehabilitation of the bridge. The planned speakers are as follows<br />
<br />
§ Introduction: Charles Floyd – Real Estate expert<br />
<br />
§ David Fishetti – Engineer<br />
<br />
§ A City Planner – New Urbanism<br />
<br />
§ Traffic Engineer – <br />
<br />
§ Lawyer – to discuss legal challenges<br />
<br />
§ Wrap-up: Sue McHugh – Salisbury citizen and community leader<br />
<br />
· Jack is also working with Charles Floyd and Pat Ivey (NC DOT) to identify the needs for rehabbing the bridge and what is sufficient to meet the need. <br />
<br />
Preservation Plan:<br />
<br />
· The City applied for and received a grant to do a preservation plan for the City. They were granted $15K that requires a match from the City of $8K for a total of $23K in funds.<br />
<br />
· HNA needs to show that the city that they heard the requests of the historic neighborhoods and approve of what they did. <br />
<br />
· It is vital to inject the neighborhoods NOW into this plan. HNA is the conduit to the neighborhoods. <br />
<br />
· The board voted to write a letter to the Mayor and send copies of this to the city council. Sue McHugh as president and Andrew Pitner will send a letter of support for the plan and the funding and ask to be involved in every aspect of the preservation plan from the beginning to the end. <br />
<br />
· A suggestion was made for HNA to send a letter to all the possible consultants in the state who could possibly help with this type of plan. Doing so before the city will show HNA plans to be involved.<br />
<br />
· Christine will check the Charleston Plan and see who made up the committees that worked on developing the plan.<br />
<br />
· The process used to develop the plan is vital.<br />
<br />
Housing Commission update: Garth Birdsey<br />
<br />
· The city is going to develop a housing commission and they are looking for people to apply for seats on the commission. An application can be found here http://www.ci.salisbury.nc.us/council/Boards_Commissions.htm<br />
<br />
· The original group that is formed will evaluate all aspects of a housing commission. This is expected to take one year. The city hopes to have volunteers for the commission by July 1st. <br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">· Jack asks that the HNA form a task force to evaluate doing a preservation plan for Salisbury. The group discussed this idea and decided that they should ask for volunteers who would like to be on this task force.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">· HSF has sold a couple of properties from its revolving fund and is in need of new properties. If there is a house in your neighborhood that you think is of potential for the fund please let Gwen know about it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #20124d;">The Historic Neighborhoods Alliance met on January 13th for its first monthly meeting of 2010. While the group heard updates from the historic neighborhoods present, the main focus of the meeting was how to save the Shober Bridge, also known as the Ellis Street Bridge. The Shober Bridge crosses over the Southern Railroad tracks on Ellis Street between W. Kerr and W. Cemetery Streets. The City of Salisbury, for several years, has had the "Ellis Street Bridge Project" on its books - with the ultimate goal to demolish the existing bridge and replace it with a modern structure, elevating the grade by several feet (reports vary here), and transitioning Ellis Street into a high functioning traffic corridor. <i>(The photo here is from the Salisbury Post, taken by Jon C. Lakey)</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Shober Bridge is one of the historic highlights of the Ellis Street Graded School Historic District, along with the school at the south end of the bridge. It is unique in structure, a small humpback bridge with wooden handrails outfitted for pedestrian traffic. The Shober Bridge has a good deal of folklore associated with it, but stakes its largest chunk of history as the very bridge site that General Stoneman's Union troops passed over to occupy the City of Salisbury at the end of the Civil War. The Shober Bridge is cited as a contributing structure in the inventory taken to establish the Ellis Street Graded School District as a National Historic District. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The City of Salisbury is marketed as 'Historic Salisbury'. When citizens wish to demolish, upgrade, or modernize an historic home, they must go through a highly defined process through the City's Historic Preservation Commission. Often, if our plans do not coincide with the original structure's design elements and materials, our requests are denied. Our City Council members, newly elected, ran on platforms and spoke at forums supporting the City's historic neighborhoods, the jewels in Salisbury's crown, and the establishment of accompanying preservation plans. Yet now, the City is moving with head-spinning swiftness to abolish the existing historic Shober Bridge, without so much as a nod to the Historic Preservation Commission. There is no engineered design in place yet, only a sketched plan to spend money on a new bridge. This begins to ring of rhetoric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The citizenry of the City of Salisbury needs voices to support the rehabilitation and restoration of this historic bridge in the heart of a historic district, a rather obvious omission in the City's plans. The Historic Neighborhoods Alliance urges you to write to City Council, who has formed a committee to make recommendations on this bridge, and express the obvious benefits of restoring and preserving the Shober Bridge, over demolition and restructuring:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Restoration of Shober Bridge is less costly to the City than demolition and rebuilding a new bridge.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Restoration of Shober Bridge allows the City to honestly and with integrity claim itself 'Historic Salisbury'.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Restoration of Shober Bridge preserves this uniquely designed bridge, few of which can be found in the State of North Carolina.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Restoration of Shober Bridge preserves the character and nature of a historic neighborhood whose homes and architecture date back to the late 1800's.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Restoration of Shober Bridge preserves this historic site for generations to come.</span></li>
</ul><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In addition to the marked change the demolition and new bridge will make on the neighborhood and the City, the rebuild project is estimated to take a couple of years. If you have not already driven down the Fulton Street corridor to see how the current temporary Shober Bridge closing is impacting traffic, you ought to take a look. To close the Shober Bridge for years, and thereby close off the Ellis Street corridor, one of only three railroad overpasses in downtown Salisbury, makes no sense for the greater good of the public when renovation will take only months - not years - for completion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can make your voices heard by addressing letters to City Council and/or addressing letters to the editor at the Salisbury Post. Additionally, City Council meetings held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month allow an open forum at the end of the planned agenda. Citizens have 3 minutes to speak on a topic of their choice. In 3 minutes or less, you can say, "I, a citizen of Historic Salisbury, support renovation and restoration of the Shober Bridge. I do not support demolition and the restructuring of a new bridge at this historic site. Thank you Council Members."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Please step forward to preserve the historic nature of our structures, our neighborhoods, and ultimately our City. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Historic Neighborhoods Alliance met on Wednesday November 11th at the historic John Steele House in the North Main neighborhood. Our meeting began with the Neighborhood Reports - concise updates from each neighborhood. There were 5 of Salisbury’s 10 historic neighborhoods represented at this meeting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• North Main Street (NMSHD): Sue McHugh said they had a great neighborhood party with double the attendance of last year. They also met recently with Downtown Salisbury, Inc and had a great discussion with them. Although DSI cannot provide money to the North Main Neighborhood Association (NOMA), they will help in other ways to support NOMA in their efforts and want to work together. They also commented that HNA is a great vehicle to get things to happen in the city because of different neighborhoods helping each other and carrying a common voice on issues. Showing that the many historic neighborhoods support improvements in North Main carries more weight with City Council. NOMA is planning a parade and celebration when the Miller St. sidewalk and North Main St. crosswalk project is finished.</span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Fulton Heights (FHHD): Andrew said they recently had a general meeting followed by a board meeting. The Halloween celebration was a great success. They are finalizing a calendar fundraiser for the neighborhood association. The color calendar will feature neighborhood homes and will sell for between $10-15. They have sold all the monthly photos and most of the available daily message space. They hope to make this an annual fundraiser. They are working with Quick Copy to design and publish the calendar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• West Square (WSHD): Betty Carli said they had over 100 attendees at their Halloween party. They will have a Christmas party in December. The West Square board passed along thanks and support for the recently held HNA city council candidate forum and they hope HNA will continue having forums during future elections. They continue to have problems with the House of Hope and she said there is now a second location open(ing) on South Main Street. Sue McHugh asked, “Why is the House of Hope a bad thing?” Betty said it is a halfway house but for more severe crime issues. Their board is doing more research and will provide more information soon. Ed asked for a copy of the board of directors for House of Hope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• North Ellis Graded School (NEGSHD): Gwen Matthews said they recently had a great ‘Alley Cat’ party with lots of food and fun. They had a TV set up near the party and this was a great success because those who wanted to attend but still had a football game to watch could participate and it helped to show who in the neighborhood are big football fans. They are focusing mostly on doing social events right now to get folks to know one another before they get to more formal neighborhood association things. They are excited though to have a core group of neighbors and that they are adding neighbors who have children to the events. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Park Avenue (PAHD): Garth Birdsey said he is now on the board for the Park Avenue Redevelopment Corp and that they are making progress toward addressing problematic issues that plague the neighborhood. They are having a kids Christmas party in December. He passed out information on VITA tax preparation services and asked if anyone was interested in helping others with tax prep to contact Marjorie. He plans to volunteer again this year and said it is a worthwhile experience.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Jack asked that the neighborhood associations send their correct website address or blog address to HSF. He is working toward having the neighborhood websites linked through the HSF website. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• He attended a meeting with city staff where they presented ideas for changes to the historic preservation guidelines for local districts. The changes were mostly in regard to timelines for completion of projects that have been given Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) and how to audit the completion of approved COAs. The Code Enforcement department will be the ‘enforcers’ of the COAs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• At this meeting they also discussed signage for Historic Preservation Commission hearings or COA applications (similar to what is posted with Zoning hearings).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• They are looking to develop some type of placard that would be displayed on the house of an approved project. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• They are talking about exterior paint colors and possible regulation/deregulation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• They are discussing that grants through HPC not be awarded to home owners who are in violation of guidelines at any property they own in the historic district. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Gwen passed out fliers that list the properties for sale at HSF. She said they were thrilled with the response to 321 East Bank project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• She was very thankful that they Rowan Board of Realtors helped her to advertise a brokers open at 321 East Bank. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• She introduced a new idea that is still in its infancy stage. She called it the Shoulder-to-Shoulder project that would help to bring volunteers with home improvement skills together with homeowners in historic neighborhoods that need assistance but cannot afford the cost of an entire project. She has several volunteers with skills in the paint, carpentry, masonry, and plumbing areas that want to help. Most of the volunteers would need to donate time on weekends or evenings. She’d like the neighborhoods and HNA members to help identify potential homeowners and to work with HSF to verify the legitimacy of the projects. Homeowners would need to help where they can and provide the funds for supplies. She said they are still working through some of the legal issues with this idea but she wanted to know what HNA members thought. Betty Carli said it is a wonderful idea and that folks need help. Sue McHugh said the North Main Association has had plans to begin a similar 'helping hands' team and liked that it could be a bigger program. Gwen said it needs a good name so if anyone has a suggestion for a name, let her know.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Candidate Forum: Sue said the forum was a huge success and she has received many positive comments. Many said it was the best-attended candidate event, the most sophisticated, and best organized. Susan Kluttz told Jack that the event was the best-attended forum in her history. Sue stated that the time the HNA sponsors a forum that the planning phase needs to begin much earlier. We had great volunteers but could have used more time to pay attention to detail and more people on the planning committee to distribute tasks more evenly. Andrea said the use of Facebook to promote the event was great. Despite the fact that there were many other events scheduled in Salisbury on the same night, attendance was still phenomenal, indicating our community's interest in preserving our historic neighborhoods. Sue did a great job with communication to the candidates and leading the forum planning committee. Christine will review the video from the forum and transcribe the answers given by those candidates that won a council seat (Kluttz, Blackwell, Kennedy, Miller, and Woodson). Christine has also organized a folder with materials from the event and feedback that she has gathered so that we can use this at a future forum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">• Housing Commission: Garth said the Neighborhood Leaders Alliance has formed a housing subcommittee that will meet twice in the next month to formulate a suggested approach for a housing commission to be discussed by Council members at their February 2010 retreat. He will attend the meetings and asked if anyone else from HNA would like to attend that they contact Lynn Raker with the City of Salisbury.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Historic Neighborhood Alliance will not meet in December, but will begin the 2010 year with a brain-storming and kick-off meeting on January 13th. Stay tuned for more info! Happy Holidays!</span> </span><br />

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">• Candidate Forum: Sue said the forum was a huge success and she has received many positive comments. Many said it was the best attended candidate event, it was the most sophisticated and best organized. Susan Kluttz told Jack that the event was the best attended forum in her history. Sue said that planning for the next forum needs to happen much earlier. We had great volunteers but could have used more time to pay attention to detail and more people on the planning committee to distribute tasks more evenly. Andrea said the use of Facebook to promote the event was great. Despite the fact that there were many other events scheduled in Salisbury on the same night, attendance was still phenominal, indicating our community's interest in preserving our historic neighborhoods. Sue did a great job with communication to the candidates and leading the forum planning committee. Christine will review the video from the forum and transcribe the answers given by those candidates that won a council seat (Kluttz, Blackwell, Kennedy, Miller, and Woodson). Christine has also organized a folder with materials from the event and feedback that she has gathered so that we can use this at a future forum.<br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">• Housing Commission: Garth said the Neighborhood Leaders Alliance has formed a housing subcommittee that will meet twice in the next month to formulate a suggested approach for a housing commission to be discussed by Council members at their February 2010 retreat. He will attend the meetings and asked if anyone else from HNA would like to attend that they contact Lynn Raker with the City of Salisbury.<br />

It was a smash success with over 100 attendees, the largest assembled forum yet on the campaign trail! The questions posed to the candidates were indeed tough and thought-provoking. The answers to the questions, or the lack there-of, were most illuminating. Although here & there some missed the point of a question, others did an A+ job of not only answering but demonstrating that they had done their homework. In addition, the candidates had the opportunity to reveal something about themselves - an alternate goal of the event. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="border: medium none;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We learned a few things about amplifying and echoes in a large acoustic hall such as the Historic Depot. The entire event was video taped so if anyone needs clarification on any of the responses, the HNA may be able to get transcripts in the near future.</span><br />
</div><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This was a true grassroots movement to get our City Council, incumbents or not, to THINK about the pressing issues their historic districts face EVERY DAY! Salisbury's Historic Neighborhoods are the jewels in her crown. We sincerely hope the candidates understand the issues that are unique to the historic districts ~ A Preservation Plan above and beyond the Land Ordinance, the 2020 Plan, and the Downtown Master Plan ~ Tougher ordinance language and enforcement to address the demolition-by-neglect syndrome ~ and the installation of a Housing Commission with a Rental Property registration and inspection program to protect both landlords and renters, to ensure minimum housing standards, and to address any criminal activity in a more consistent manner. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Salisbury's upcoming municipal election finds us with 12 candidates vying for 5 council seats. This is an important opportunity to hear how the candidates stand on three major issues that impact Salisbury's 10 historic districts. The candidates have been asked to come prepared to address the following three exclusive topics: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">· Ordinance enforcement and stronger ordinance language for historic districts </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">· Landlord registration and a Housing Commission</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">· A Preservation Plan for the City of Salisbury</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Residents of historic neighborhoods and people interested in preservation of the same are encouraged to attend this special opportunity to hear the candidates address these issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

Some of the districts overlay one another so this is a tricky map to make but it is great to have the <i>free</i> help from the city. Garth is collecting photos of homes in our neighborhoods to possibly include on the brochure. Sue asked that the neighborhood associations be thinking about <i>‘What makes your neighborhood unique’</i> as this will be used on the blurb about each neighborhood. Funding for the project is low. We have $500 but will need much more. They have discussed asking for sponsors and contributions from the associations. A fund raising budget/plan will be shared in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 37.4pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">HNA website/blog</span></b></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">: Sue has created a blog for HNA <a href="http://www.thehna.blogspot.com/">www.thehna.blogspot.com</a>.

She said, like <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">North Main Street</st1:address></st1:street>, that other neighborhoods who do not have an online site can do a blog and link it to this one. She said there has been some debate over whether the HNA wants a blog site or regular website. It would be nice to get some input on what the differences are and or strengths/weaknesses of blogs versus websites. She said we can choose a URL and have it link directly to the blog. Christine said she and Edward have reserved a number or URLs and there may be one that works for HNA. She’ll look into this. At this point, the HNA blog works great and we can evaluate other options moving forward. Members and other interested parties can visit the blog and subscribe to receive posting notices.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 37.4pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Candidate Forum:</span></b></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> The attendees voted to have a HNA/HSF City Council Candidate Forum.

W. Hamill House at 321 E. Bank St., now is your opportunity! The house is being whipped into shape for October Tour. With all of the structural restoration in place, the home now needs volunteers for painting and scraping and cleaning windows. We'll be organizing volunteer crews for weekend painting festivities but if you can pop by midweek that works too!

The association is going to launch a fund raising campaign to provide lighting on the <st1:street st="on"><st1:address st="on">Miller Street</st1:address></st1:street> sidewalk project. This is an expensive (80K) proposition but they think this will add a much needed dimension to the project. They are discussing an official name change for their association. Their current name is Old North Salisbury Association which neighbors said lacks name recognition to their area. Ideas are NoMa or something else <st1:place st="on">North Main</st1:place> related. They are discussing creating a welcome packet for new neighbors. Also possibly adding neighborhood quadrant captains to help organize and advertise activities. They may have a home and garden tour of the neighborhood in the spring of 2010 as a fundraiser. Maggie Blackwell, City Council candidate and previous president of Fulton Heights Neighborhood Assoc, attended their last meeting.

Attendees were generally in support and several said they would help organize the event. We need to do some more research first to determine what type of event we would like to have and if we have enough time to organize the event. Jack offered the Salisbury Station event space for the forum. It would need to be after OctoberTour. HSF will not organize the event but will provide support. Jack said he is willing to contact Michael Bitzer, Catawba College Political Science professor and moderator of many of the candidate forums at Catawba, to set up a meeting with him to discuss our idea and gain insight. (<b>UPDATE:</b> Mr. Bitzer has been ill and will not be able to meet with us for several weeks. Jack can contact him at a later date if we still want to meet with him) Christine will research candidate debates and send members information. We will need to act quickly on this and likely make a decision as to what we want to do before our next meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal" ><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 37.4pt; text-indent: -0.25in; font-family: verdana;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="">·<span style=""> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:85%;">Attendees agreed that even if we do not have our own forum, HNA needs to submit questions to the Catawba forum and attend the event and other events that are held.
