Staff described the calendar’s goals — recognizing well-maintained homes, sharing lesser-known local history and serving as a visual reminder of McKinney’s historic district — and said submissions are open through March 21 so the board can vote on selections at its April 3 meeting.

\"We\u0000have submissions open through March 21. The reason for that deadline is so then we can bring it back to the April 3 meeting, and you all can vote on the homes that will go into the calendar,\" Cassie Baumgartner, historic preservation staff, told the board. Baumgartner said the program needs at least 12 homes for a full calendar and that, as of the meeting, staff had received fewer than 12 submissions.

Baumgartner said the calendar will continue to use a professional photographer and designer and that staff plans to provide homeowners with a consolidated photography window; final production requires earlier scheduling for the designer. She also said the calendar is now a line item in the city budget, rather than relying entirely on advertising revenue, though advertising still offsets costs when available.

Board members discussed written feedback from Dr. Karen Zupanek, who wrote that previous calendars provided a full year of downtown events and museum dates that residents used for planning; she said removing those listings had reduced community interest and advertising incentives. The board read excerpts of the letter and debated how to restore event information without increasing production errors caused by date changes or reschedules.

Options discussed included: restoring a side-panel list of recurring downtown events and museum programs rather than placing every event directly on calendar date boxes; including a disclaimer that dates are accurate as of a set cutoff and directing readers to city websites for up-to-date information; and asking the calendar’s designer whether uploads from a central events spreadsheet could be automated.

The board agreed, by consensus in discussion, that staff should meet with Dr. Zupanek and consult the calendar designer and museums (Chestnut Square and the North Texas History Museum) to clarify expectations and technical feasibility before the next board decision. Board members also suggested outreach to the McKinney Legacy Neighborhood Association and the McKinney Historic Neighborhood Association to increase nominations.

Cassie Baumgartner said staff will ask local groups for event lists early (designers typically require calendar content well before production) and will return with options for how events could be displayed.

A staff announcement following the calendar discussion introduced Reina (spelled \"Reyna\" in parts of the transcript), the board’s new historic preservation planner, who started one month earlier and will begin presenting to the board in coming months.","Board reviewed goals and timeline for a 2026 historic-home recognition calendar, opened submissions through March 21 and agreed staff should meet with a downtown museum representative who complained events were removed from recent calendars.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6689377,"McKinney staff: Certified Local Government application has been forwarded to National Park Service; review pending",0,117000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245583-9cd363feb19f446d5f5dad483a99f337&start=117&end=117","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245583-9cd363feb19f446d5f5dad483a99f337/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6689377/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/McKinney-staff-Certified-Local-Government-application-has-been-forwarded-to-National-Park-Service-review-pending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6689377-35a60a1cf6ac9c80db48cf6180996561/orig.mp4?Expires=1771165556&Signature=Tls-FMum2ojnkVLO7IF4l4acn98VNIIpkMO64V-DF94tcKodSkLpgb4sF~2idE9FzI9Lr4M4ZdSx58UtzcbL39ZcPWNdpKF8HUq4W~X07lYDEsZV9Rgw2Qa~jgE7F~Cr7uyF6ZAcd3z4Bqnggo8Ns4exvcyHrvFoTnrq~5hJfuTkMHnaAnDcIvz~ZkLlY~ZhYUVzSHBot~z5hts1r0vW0PqiehcR0Idim5OZyrI-xzYa3k4TrZ7hehX2UCT0JhFXmVZ~gQ1MGoOlceZOmUUoSftYo9dIPT7bkpq1fhQCYLXQeH1p4d9~EEqzt4HAiyDznPDxQWxB40kWfGDinJxcOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Historic Preservation Advisory Board on Feb. 6, 2025, that McKinney’s application to become a Certified Local Government (CLG) has been forwarded to the National Park Service for federal review, and the city is waiting on the agency’s backlog to clear.

The CLG program, administered jointly by the National Park Service and the Texas Historical Commission, provides participating cities and counties with access to grant funds, state technical assistance and training, and national recognition for meeting preservation standards, city staff said.

\"The Certified Local Government Program is a state a local state and Federal Government partnership to empower local communities to better protect historic resources,\" said Cassie Baumgartner, historic preservation staff, during a presentation explaining the program and the city’s application process. \"As of today, our application has been forwarded to the National Park Service. It took a while to get there.\"

Baumgartner outlined the multi-step application route: the city first obtained a city council resolution to pursue CLG status, compiled a lengthy application (including relevant local code excerpts, designated resources and goals), secured the mayor’s signature, and submitted the file to the Texas Historical Commission. The state reviewed the packet and forwarded it to the National Park Service for the federal review that completes the designation.

She told the board the Texas Historical Commission maintains staff assigned to CLG communities and that the designation would permit McKinney to apply for state-administered grants that are funded through a federal allocation. \"Once it's at the National Park Service, that's when they do the federal review of it,\" Baumgartner said. She also noted the state office has a backlog and that Texas applications submitted in January had not yet received federal responses.

Board members asked whether CLG status could require structural changes — for example, converting the advisory board into a commission — and whether the designation would impose new local restrictions. Baumgartner said reviewers focus on the board’s authority and procedures rather than the label. \"Becoming a CLG doesn't change any sort of regulatory protections that you have on your community,\" she said. The state review included questions about who may act on certificates of appropriateness and how demolition reviews are handled.

Board members also asked about grant rules and whether the National Park Service or the state would provide feedback if federal reviewers found deficiencies; Baumgartner said deficiencies would be flagged and the city could revise and resubmit without penalty. She added that CLGs must submit an annual report to the state listing actions such as certificates of appropriateness and other preservation work.

Next steps for McKinney are to await the National Park Service review and respond to any federal feedback; Baumgartner said the state office does not provide a predictable schedule and that the city has experienced a one-month or longer backlog for recent submissions.

The board did not take a formal vote on the CLG item during the meeting; the session included questions from board members and staff direction to monitor the federal review and report status back to the board.","City staff told the Historic Preservation Advisory Board that McKinney’s application to join the Certified Local Government program has been submitted to the National Park Service and is awaiting federal review; the designation would open grant and technical-assistance opportunities but would not change local regulatory protections.","actionData","errors"]
