Deirdre will prepare a draft application for the Prince of Wales award and bring the draft application to the January 2013 meeting for review and comment.

Moved by Ed Pamenter, seconded by Ron Hyatt 10 Correspondence Rick provided the Committee with copies Heritage Places Television; Interpretive Signage; as well as information on the Downtown Streetscape Study. He informed the members that if they required more information on the Heritage Places Television that they should go to their website Although this would be undertaken as an HPH project, it could be a joint venture should ACO and perhaps other parties might be inclined to join HPH. The total cost is $5, HST. In regards to the Interpretive Signage, Rick sent a reply to Trevor Clapperton which included the feedback he received from several members. In conversation with Karen Sharpe (Parks & Recreations), he was assured that the issues and concerns raised by HPH will be taken into consideration and the project has been deferred until spring. Rick spoke with Catharine Talbot and Brian Basterfield, who are the consultants doing the streetscape study, and provide them with pertinent information, such as by-laws that established the conservation districts, copy of Peter John Stokes book regarding Walton Street and LACAC information. Rick invited the consultants and Mr. Bourque to attend a future HPH meeting when they have more information to share. Rick will keep the Committee informed. The HPH 2012 budget surplus was under discussion, especially given our resolution #HPH38/12 (Nov/12) requesting the balance be set aside for an ongoing project. The Committee would like The Municipality to consider the merits of both the Heritage Street Sign Program as well as the 3

4 support of Heritage Places Television. It was suggested that given a properly worded invoice, HPH could support 50% of the costs associated with Heritage Places Television. These funds would ideally come from the outstanding surplus still within our 2012 budget. It was agreed to finalize this discussion at the January HPH meeting. 11 Reports of Sub-Committees 11.1 Heritage District (Part IV) None 11.2 Heritage District (Part V) Rick Brooks, via a report, provided the members with an update on the following application(s); New signage at 64 Walton Street application was approved and returned to the Building Department on December 5, Motion #HPH44/12 A motion was heard to Receive and File the Part V Report as presented to the Committee. Moved by Ron Hyatt, seconded by Karen O Hara Rick informed the Committee of a concern Part V received from an individual regarding the number of illuminated signs up in the heritage district. Rick noted that Reno Piccini had responded already on this, while still a member of HPH and Chair of Part V, stating that the By-law has not been changed yet, so those signs are not permitted. The problem is with regards to enforcement. He went on to share that HPH is in the process of making a recommendation to Council to amend the By-law to deal with issues like this and suggested keeping in touch with Rick Brooks on the progress of this matter. Mary Lou asked that Rick address the issue raised regarding the size of the Dollar Store signage. Rick stated the current sign is grandfathered. Rick did suggest that possibly the new tenants could paint out part of the plywood fascia and then put the new signage band inside of the old one so it appears smaller Public Relations Committee Heritage Awards Update: -Deirdre Gardner provided copies of the nomination forms which were submitted to the Deputy Municipal Clerk for inclusion on the agenda for the Council meeting scheduled for January.
