There will be a T3C General Membership meeting at Grandma’s Sports Garden on Thursday Feb. 2nd at 3:00.

One of the purposes of the meeting will be to discuss changes in the T3C Coordinator position.  Please see the attached “Proposal for Changing the the T3C Coordinator Function”.  This proposal has been discussed by the T3C Executive Committee and will be considered at the Feb. meeting.

The other meeting agenda continuing the strategic planning that we began at our last meeting.  Laura Bennett will again facilitate that activity.

T3C got some public exposure in the Duluth News Tribune, Local View on Jan. 17.  An article I wrote appeared in the paper (attached) “Local program reduces college drinking and its consequences”.

Prevention efforts on the campuses and in the community will also be addressed at the meeting.  Please email me if you have information that you would like to share regarding college student drinking.

This week Duluth’s rental market opens up to new multi-tenant rentals after a “protection zone” was lifted with the start of the New Year.Although the “protection zone” in the neighborhoods around UMD and St. Scholastica had allowed for new single-family rentals, it did not allow new multi-tenant rentals.

Wondering if anyone would be willing to help in concessions this week?  We started with 5 volunteers for concessions and now we are down to 2 consistent volunteers.  We are hoping to have the warming shack open for skating from 11:00 to 7:00 this week since the kids are off of school but 2 people just can’t run it for the entire week ………… is there anyone out there that can help us?  Also, we would love to have a supervisor at the shack from 7:00 – 9:00 as well.

The shift times are as follows;

Today – Sunday (01/0112011)
11:00 – 1:00
1:00 – 3:00
3:00 – 5:00
5:00 – 7:00
7:00 – 9:00 supervisor shift

I work during the day and can work the 5:00 – 7:00 shift and Terry Bakke is able to cover 1 to 2 shifts during the day and is willing to work around anyone’s schedule ……….. in other words, if someone could cover ANY shifts before 5:00 we can work around it ! ! ! !

Please respond to this e-mail, or call my cell phone (269-8086), if you are able to help us.

Thanks and have a wonderful day ! !

The firm Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. has been hired to conduct Phase III of this inventory and presented at the meeting. The consultants  began their work on December 12, 2011 starting north of I-35 and  have worked up to 2nd St. Please see Historic District Map (attached)

The purpose of the meeting was to inform residents of the survey process, update the public on the survey and findings to date, and gather additional historic information residents may have.  The inventory is an important process for historic purposes but is also the first step needed for property owners who wish to request consideration of their homes or buildings for local or national historic registries.  Phase III includes 1083 structures and a structure must be 50+ years old to be considered.  If an additional Historic District is recommended, it would be smaller than the Study Area.

Individual properties with “high integrity” will be written up descriptively.  The four levels of criteria are:
1.  Association with an event
2.  Association with a person
3.  Architectural style
4.  Archeology (will the structure contribute to history?)

Phase I of the survey began in 2008 and it is anticipated to continue in the future through the Hillside to St. Peter’s Catholic Church and the Observation neighborhood.  When completed, the document will be available for viewing at City Hall, Duluth Public Library, UMD Library and the Minnesota Historical Society.  Due to the volume of the document, only a portion will be available online.

It was also noted that the Historic Preservation Committee is seeking members.  Applications are available.

Questions regarding this inventory or information about your home can be addressed to Charles Froseth in the Community Development Office at 218-730-5325.
