events together

JACK HOUSE COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT
SUBJECT: 2019-2021 Jack House Committee Goal Setting and the Financial Plan/budget Process.
From: Dave Setterlund, Parks and Recreation Supervisor
DISCUSSION
Every two year the city adopts a budget and financial plan. To prepare for the budget process, all City
departments and advisory bodies are asked to identify their goals and major work programs for the next
two years. The City Council then uses this information, along with public comment and other input to set
community priorities and allocated resources to accomplish the most important City goals.
Advisory body members are involved in the goal setting process to provide important input as
representatives of the community, with special expertise and experience working locally within their
specific area of representation. Below are some key points to consider as the City embarks on the goal -
setting process: (consider City's Financial Health Plan while setting goals)
1. The Council is seeking advisory body input focused on the purview of the advisory body, but is
also interested in input on other issues important to the community.
2. Advisory body input is highly valued by the Council and the staff.
3. Goals can include completing projects form a previous work program.
4. Identifying priorities implies recommending, fewer rather than more goals to the council.
Objective
This is a public process and citizens are encouraged to contribute. Tonight's meeting will result in two
items 1) a list of JHC goals and implementation programs; and 2) a letter from the JHC Chair to the City
council outlining recommended goals and programs, and if necessary, requesting resources for specific
activities
GOAL Setting
Jack House Committee Advisory Body Goals for the 2017-19 Financial Plan
1. Provide for the historic preservation and public enjoyment of the Jack House and
Garden through strategic planning efforts including:
a. A Historic Structure Report (HSR) to give the City guidance in the
treatment of this National Register property in accordance with Secretary
of Interior Standards. An HSR serves as the primary planning document
used in decision-making about preservation, rehabilitation, restoration,
and reconstruction treatments and as a guide for budgeting future work.
b. A Strategic Plan to develop an effective balance between public use and
preservation of the botanical, structural, and interior collections over
time.
c. A Loni=eg Interpretive flan (LRIP) to enhance the education and
understanding of visitors to the house and garden.
d. A strategic cost -benefit analysis of maintenance, rehabilitation, and use
for city -owned historic buildings as proposed in the Cultural Heritage
Committee's 2017-19 Advisory Body Goals.
2. Commit funding for improvements to the non -historic structures, including
storage, in the Jack Garden including:
a. Carriage House Pergola Restoration or Demolition
b. Storage
3. Fund restoration of the Jack Carriage House, one of the three oldest documented
wood structures in the City, to Secretary of Interior Standards in order to qualify
it for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and make it
accessible and educational to the public in a variety of uses.
4. Fund inventory and digital cataloging of the botanical, structural, and interior
collections of the Jack House and Garden to ensure against loss and make the
information available to scholars and the public, in accordance with the original
grant deed and Parks and Recreation's mission of creating community through
people, parks, and programs.
