Car Barn - If the Board moves to recommend designation for the old car barn on N. Howes, the process will be the same as for the Powerplant, i.e., meetings with City staff currently involved with the use of and decisions concerning the property. Support from these people will be important when the designation proposal is presented to Council. Kari & I will work with the Board each step of the way toward designation. 2. Ward Smith cabin - Derek Roberts of the Roberts ranch family in Livermore is looking into moving the cabin to property on which the old Forks cafe used to be (north of Fort Collins on Highway 287) or to adjacent property now owned by the County. This idea would be part of a larger project - to rebuild the Forks Cafe and to create a "historic park" around it and possibly on the property now owned by the County (see attached information sheet) for the purpose of relocating threatened historic structures. Mr. Roberts said that Anheiser Busch has indicated some interest in paying for the costs of moving the Ward Smith cabin to the Forks Cafe property (Anheiser Busch used to have a filmed TV commercial for Budweiser beer with the Forks Cafe as the backdrop.) He will continue to pursue this effort with Anheiser Busch. Another project underway, related to the above Ward Smith cabin saga, is an effort to create a historic preservation trust organization, for the purpose of generating funds to relocate threatened historic structures, as opportunities/needs arise. This group that is now forming would like to include a representative from the CRB and will meet some time in November or as soon as written materials on creating citizen trust groups can be obtained. The Board may want to consider adding this endeavor to its goals and objectives list. 3. Historic Preservation orientation session for CRB/LPC - originally scheduled for Nov. 18 from 6 .to 7 p.m. in the Historic Preservation conference room. We may have to change the date (possibly to Wed. Nov. 11) because Kari may be out of town the whole week of Nov. 18. Can Board members make the Nov. 11 date? 4. Various information on historic preservation "incentives" will be given to board sub -committee chairman Bill Kneeland tonight (including Sherry Albertson's work on this subject). 5. One of the Board's "advocacy" goals was given a boost: I received letters from Lee Hansen, Supt. of Poudre Rl, and Bill Lamperes, Social Studies Coordinator, thanking the City for the curriculum manual. we gave an orientation session on the manual to representatives from each of the elementary schools on October 13, to help ensure the use of the manual in the schools. Teachers are acting very favorably to the addition of the manual to the social studies curriculum. FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80521.2297 (303) 482-7420 October 1, 1987 Mr. Tom Peterson . Director of Planning City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 500 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Mr. Peterson: I would like to express my praise and appreciation for the exceptional project completed by Edwina Echevarria of the Historic Preservation Office. Edwina directed the creation of a K-6 Fort Collins teachers guide for Poudre R-1 teachers that offers 35 lesson plans for students. These plans not only correlate with our curriculum objectives but include activities that could appeal to a variety of learners. The lessons present a diversity that range from topics dealing with art and architecture to language arts, local history and general social studies concepts. A careful examination of the lessons will demonstrate that Edwina possesses the instructional sense of a teacher and has poured her heart and skills into this project. The energy, time and love expressed in this gift represents a remarkable tribute to Edwina and those who assisted her. We in Poudre R-1 sincerely thank her and the City for initiating this project and look forward to participating in other cooperative adventures in the future. My compliments and congratulations for an outstanding job. Sincerely, /'j Bill Lamperes K-12 Social Studies Specialist BL/bh cc/Edwina Echeverria Lee Hansen i R>rn-I err.
