Summary of Proceedings

Green Historic Preservation Commission Meeting - March 26, 2026

The Historic Preservation Commission met on March 26, 2026, at 6:00 PM in Council Chambers. The meeting included the swearing-in of new member Mary Tanner, election of officers, approval of rules and procedures, and review of the Southgate Farm year-end report and East Liberty plaque options. No public comments were heard.

Consent Calendar

  • Roll call confirmed presence of all five members (Chas Schreckenberger, Mary Tanner, Ms. Sanker, Ms. Panito, Mr. Schweikert) and two student representatives (Sadie Miller, Chloe Kimball).
  • Approval of Rules & Procedures: Unanimously approved (5-0) with no edits from prior year.
  • Approval of Minutes (October 23, 2025): Approved unanimously after noting a correction changing one vote from 'present' to 'yes'.

Discussion Items

  • Southgate Farm Year-End Review – Chair Schreckenberger reported on the impressive variety of vegetables and sheep management, noting issues with uninvited wildlife (gophers, deer, voles). Administrator Sarah Haring shared updates: new signage, partnership with Twisted Olive (directional signs), capital improvements (equipment shed doors painted red, new concrete drives, gutter/downspout repair, electrified tool shed, summer kitchen remodeling, Starlink internet installation). Student municipal reps harvested 400 potatoes in 2025. A draft Request for Proposals for a formal strategic plan for the farmstead initiative was circulated for commission feedback.
  • East Liberty Plaque Review – Two design options were presented: two separate plaques (local landmark and National Register) or a combined plaque. After discussion, the commission voted to recommend two separate plaques, each with the actual designation date (not 2026). The motion carried unanimously.
  • Planning Liaison Report – Haring presented the final concept plan for a walkway at the schoolhouse. The Ohio history funds grant was unsuccessful; CDBG, state capital, and federal capital fund requests have been submitted. Representative Sykes’ office visited the site.
  • Green Historical Society Report – No official report as liaison was out of the country. Anticipated return to regular hours, historic education days continuing, and increased activity in summer.

Key Outcomes

  • Election of Officers: Chas Schreckenberger re-elected Chair, Mary Tanner elected Vice Chair (both unanimous).
  • Rules & Procedures: Approved unanimously.
  • Minutes: Approved with correction.
  • Plaque Recommendation: Motion passed to recommend two separate plaques for East Liberty School (local and National Register) with dates of designation, and updated language on the National Register plaque.
  • Next Steps: The strategic plan RFP for Southgate Farm will incorporate commission feedback; funding efforts for the schoolhouse walkway continue.
