HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY UPDATE
Sarah reported that Chantel and she have taken up to 100 photographs of resources for the
second phase of the Historic Preservation Fund Grant. She has sent the photos to the consultant
doing the survey. Chantel confirmed that the Agreement notes January 27 as the next deadline
for three-quarters of the survey to be completed and entered into GNAHRGIS.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH
Chantel requested ideas from Commissioners to celebrate National Preservation Month in May
on Tybee. Discussion ensued regarding placemats with pictures of historic properties that
children can color on while at restaurants, having an event at the Tybee Post Theater, displaying
a map with pins marking where historic properties are and using the map for self-guided tours,
displaying historic photos on the windows of 1606 Butler Avenue for people to see as they are
walking around downtown, and posting panels at Jaycee Park about the Girl Scouts’ original
headquarters. Dottie and Sue agreed to work on the placemats and Chantel will print them for
Commissioners to distribute. Dottie confirmed she will work on reserving the theater for May 7
to host an “I Remember Tybee” evening. Sue will ask Steve Strickland about allowing photos to
be displayed at 1606 Butler Avenue. Sarah and Chantel will work on the photos once Sue
confirms placement is allowed. Sarah confirmed she has materials for posting the panels at
Jaycee Park and will email Chantel the information. Chantel confirmed she will email the city
manager for approval. Sue confirmed she will work on the map and possible photos for
displaying at city hall and printing for vacation rentals and bike rental shops. Dottie confirmed
she will work on information for a self-guided walking / biking tour once the map is done.
