Planning and Development Services SUBJECT: Certified Local Government Grant Amendment #1 DATE: November 6, 1990 ************************************************************ The City of San Marcos Historic Preservation Commission is in the process of implementing the prestigious certified Local Government (C.L.G.) Grant. In August of this year the Historic Preservation Commission was notified that additional funds were available from the Texas Historical Commission for those governments that have been granted monies for 1990 fiscal year. The Historic preservation Commission applied for and received $1000.00 to be applied to the cost of implementing this year's program. We were initially award $3,700, and an additional $1,000 under Amendment #1 for a total of $4,700. The ~ Marcos has already approved matching funds for, and woufã' 3)9()()~ need to match an additional $1,000 to secure the total grant. This is the same commitment the city was required to make last year when the city was awarded the initial grant. The Historic Preservation Commission expressed an interest in acquiring interpretive plaques that included site specific information rather than generic plaques same. Additionally, there are many sites that building plaques would not be readable from the sidewalk, therefore, poles would be required to mount the plaques in the street right- of-way. The original application did not include poles or site specific plaques. Since the extra funds were available the commission applied for the additional funds to accomplish the goals set out by the commission. City Hall. 630 East Hopkins.
