+1.  The City of Shady Cove is considering this, and in speaking with our
agent, it seems it may be as easy as letting them know about the event and
some minor details prior.  Alcohol and some specific things would require a
small additional cost.

Katherine,

 

You may be able to cover some of your events on your current General
Liability for CBDA.  It just depends on the insurance company.  Most of our
events were covered.  It just required letting them know about the event.
Once alcohol or fireworks was involved, we then had an additional $250 fee
per event.  At Hillsdale Community Foundation we used Bliss Sequoia ((503)
364-5401) out of Salem for our insurance.

 

Hope that helps!

 

Sincerely yours,

Megan Braunsten

Hello all!

Every August, the Coos Bay Downtown Association hosts the Blackberry Arts
Festival which features local, Oregon foods and crafts. Until now, the CBDA
has required that each vendor purchase and submit their own insurance.
However, we heard from some of our smaller vendors that they are unable to
participate in the festival because of the cost of the insurance. We have
been looking at the idea of CBDA purchasing and holding the general
liability insurance that would cover all of the vendors. We would then raise
the vendor fee slightly to cover our cost. Does anyone currently purchase
event insurance for their festivals or farmers' markets? Has it been
successful? Have you seen growth in your event?

 

Any insight is appreciated! Thanks!

Katherine

	Credit repeal
Message-ID: <73feaaff40494d3fbd5bd78f7c07156f@BL2PR04MB226.namprd04.prod.outlook.com>

Dear Oregon Main Streeters!
The single-most important financial tool that exists to help pay for rehabs on historic buildings would be wiped out if the proposal in the House Ways & Means Committee moves forward.  This shortsighted proposal would wipe out the Federal Historic Tax Credit, which has proven its worth by generating $109B in private investment, created 2.4M jobs, and adapted nearly 39,000 historic buildings for productive use across the U.S.  To make sure it doesn't, please join Restore Oregon in signing the petition opposing it (see below).

The Historic Tax Credit is a 20% federal income tax credit for the cost of building rehabilitation.  And incidentally, you may have heard that Restore Oregon is launching an initiative that would match the federal credit with a state income tax credit, increasing the help for Main Street building owners.  34 other states have a state rehab tax credit and it has proven to be very effective economic development tool.  Check out our special report, "Revitalizing Main Street<http://restoreoregon.org/rehab-tax-credit/>" to learn more.

We'll provide more insights on tax credits at the Oregon Main Street conference in the fall.  In the meantime, we must protect the tools we have!

Below are ways you can help:



1. Have your preservation organization sign onto the organizational sign-on letter.

http://www.preservationnation.org/take-action/advocacy-center/additional-resources/Preservation-Partners_Organizational_Sign-On_Letter_re_Camp_Repeal.pdf

As you may have already heard, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee - Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) - released a discussion draft tax reform bill on February 26th that has called for the repeal of the historic rehabilitation tax credit.  In response, the National Trust is spearheading an organizational sign letter (attached) that calls for not only retaining this all important financial incentive, but also trying to improve it.

We hope that your organization will stand united with the National Trust and the preservation community in opposing this proposal.  If you would like to support this request to the chairman and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, please send your approval to add just your organization's name to the sign-on letter to cwolf at savingplaces.org<mailto:cwolf at savingplaces.org> or call Carl Wolf at 202-588-6254.  In order to deliver this letter to Members of Congress in time for Preservation Lobby Day, we will need a response from your organization by Tuesday, March 4th.

2. Ask your local preservation partners, Main Street communities, etc. to join you in signing onto the organizational sign-on letter.

3. Resend out this e-alert to your own members http://my.preservationnation.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=825 ... or send one with a similar message.

>From Donna Sanson, Beaverton Downtown Association Promotion Chair:

We are planning our third year of First Friday, May thru October 2014. This year we have invited Beaverton Farmers Market vendors to be a part of our downtown celebration and to set up tables/displays on sidewalks between storefronts. Quite a few of these vendors sell wine, beer, and/or other alcoholic beverages. They rely on tasting to sell their bottled products. The official Farmers Market Saturday location is confined to a parking lot and visitors can sample alcoholic products within the confines of that lot. However, First Friday includes an area that is approximately four city blocks by four city blocks with vehicular traffic on the streets and pedestrians on the sidewalks.

My question is how other Main Street cities handle this category of vendor. Do we need to place them on private parking lots with the permission of the property owners and confine the sampling of alcoholic products to those private lots? Do we have to prohibit sampling of alcoholic products altogether and risk loosing the participation of these vendors? This is all new territory to us and I would appreciate some feedback from other associations who have more experience with this.

Thanks for any advice you can share.

You probably need to have an approved "Plan to Manage" from the OLCC. Every
alcohol vendor would need to then individually secure a license to do so
(which is essentially an amendment to their existing license). If the event
is recurring the license could probably address future events. My
understanding is OLCC won't "license a downtown" but will do a defined
street section or two as long as minors and over-serving is strictly
controlled.

Message-ID: <CAGSxV8dhR6PN-1uA7Zc3thAeqgkatWjGNBQjTkc7+MY+rzJR-A@mail.gmail.com>

Good morning!
Continuing the alcohol theme....

Our City ordinances specifically prohibit any alcohol in any open container
on any street at any time.....
With our new restaurants, and our wish for sidewalk tables to increase
downtown activity, we find this extremely prohibitive.

I'm looking for examples or ordinances that allow drinks with meals,
obviously under OLCC regulations as well, outside establishments.

(I'd also love to have them allow events with alcohol in the park, but
we'll pick that battle some other time)

Sheri, do you have any statistics to show that drinks in contained areas
have/have not caused issues, or even made a downtown safer because of the
increase of people presence on the streets?

Thanks all!

Kelly Haverkate

I don't have specific stats in response to your question. However, there is increased vitality in communities where sidewalk dining is allowed - remember our keynote speaker from the conference said, "people attract people!"

With our new restaurants, and our wish for sidewalk tables to increase downtown activity, we find this extremely prohibitive.

I'm looking for examples or ordinances that allow drinks with meals, obviously under OLCC regulations as well, outside establishments.

(I'd also love to have them allow events with alcohol in the park, but we'll pick that battle some other time)

Sheri, do you have any statistics to show that drinks in contained areas have/have not caused issues, or even made a downtown safer because of the increase of people presence on the streets?

Thanks all!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am the Main Street Coordinator in The Dalles and we are working on a
parklet program in our downtown area.

Not sure if everyone is familiar with parklets, but a parklet is an
extension of the sidewalk into 1-2 or more parking spaces. This creates a
space where tables, art, bike racks, even pianos can be placed.

Our City is supportive of this program and we are moving closer and closer
to installing the first one. The first parklet will simply be a public
space.

Several businesses have approached us wanting to invest and build their own
additional parklets but only if they can serve both food and alcohol in
"their" parklet. Our City is reluctant to allow this and simply wants them
to be public spaces but then the business owners are not interested in
investing in them.

I would also be interested in any information or ordinances that we could
use as an example to make our City more comfortable I guess and moving in
the right direction.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Matthew B. Klebes

Hello & Happy Monday! On the road recently I have been talking to a few communities about how to put together a comprehensive funding campaign. One of the primary ways to raise funds are from business and property owners w/n the downtown...or community members who believe in the work you do. Another good source, but highly underutilized, is to think of other businesses who benefit from having a healthy & vibrant downtown or who do business with those in the downtown. Attached are a couple sample solicitation letters developed by our National Main Street rep, Kathy La Plante, to address these two target audiences.

Cheers, Sheri

http://pr.ak.vresp.com/48a01df5f/www.orton.org/sites/default/files/newsletter/spacer.gif


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


http://pr.ak.vresp.com/48a01df5f/www.orton.org/sites/default/files/newsletter/spacer.gif

		

March 11, 2014


http://pr.ak.vresp.com/48a01df5f/www.orton.org/sites/default/files/newsletter/spacer.gif

		

Washington, DC ?  The Citizens' Institute on Rural Design? (CIRD) has issued a request for proposals to rural communities facing design challenges - such as Main Street revitalization, how to manage and direct growth, design community-supportive transportation systems, preserve natural and historic landscapes and buildings, protect working agricultural lands, and provide adequate and affordable housing - who are interested in hosting a local workshop in 2014-2015.

Successful applicants will receive a $7,000 stipend and in-kind professional design expertise and technical assistance valued at $35,000. The Request for Proposals is posted on the CIRD website.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 9:00 pm EDT. 

CIRD works to help rural communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer enhance their quality of life and economic vitality through facilitated design workshops. CIRD brings local leaders, non-profits, and community organizations together with experts in planning, design, preservation and placemaking ? all in an effort to help communities address pressing design challenges and to put design tools into the hands of the people who can create local change. CIRD does this by offering an opportunity for four rural communities to host local design workshops, and by offering free public webinars, conference calls, and a resource-rich website to practitioners and community leaders across the country.

Since the program's inception in 1991, CIRD has convened 70 workshops in all regions of the country with results that range from strengthened local economies, enhanced rural character, the leveraging of cultural assets, and design of new housing and transportation systems. ?????? Each community selected to participate in the Institute will receive $7,000 to support planning and hosting a two and a half day workshop. Communities are required to provide $7,000 in matching funds (cash or in-kind services). CIRD will work with community leaders to assemble teams of specialists most qualified to address the community?s identified design challenges. The workshops will be augmented with conference calls and capacity-building webinar presentations led by professionals who will discuss a range of rural design topics. All calls are also offered free to the general public through CommunityMatters?, a program of the Orton Family Foundation.

The CIRD website is a portal to resources on many aspects of rural design gathered from diverse organizations across the country including information on past CIRD workshops. It is a place for citizens and practitioners alike to get information about improving their own communities.  <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?OrtonFamilyFoundatio/916ffdf5da/855bd37319/40b5fae8d5> Read more about last year?s workshops.

CIRD will offer two pre-application assistance conference calls to answer questions and guide interested applicants in assembling their proposals. The first of these calls is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, and the second call will take place on Thursday, April 24. Both calls will begin at 3:00 pm EDT and last approximately one hour. Participation in each call is free but registration is required.  <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?OrtonFamilyFoundatio/916ffdf5da/855bd37319/e6d731a953> Register now.

1.       Preservation Month 2014: New Age of Preservation: Embark, Inspire, Engage.
May is Preservation Month! As in years past, the National Trust for Historic Preservation encourages preservation and Main Street organizations to use this month-long opportunity to showcase how they are celebrating and saving historic places year-round. This year's theme, "New Age of Preservation: Embark, Inspire, Engage," is meant to excite your current supporters and introduce new audiences to the work you're doing to enrich and preserve the places that make your community special.
The list of Preservation Month activities is as endless as your imagination. But here are a few ideas to get you started.
Embark
Community Service Opportunities: Possible projects might include a clean-up day at a local house museum or along a historic Main Street. Consider partnering with other local nonprofit organizations in your area to sponsor the event. This will allow you to forge new relationships to build on in the future and will also provide an opportunity to attract new volunteers that may not be familiar with your organization or site.
Inspire
Demonstration Projects: Many people who own a historic property enjoy learning more about restoration techniques and new products. Consider hosting lectures, workshops, or demonstrations for historic homeowners. Topics might include how to select appropriate paint colors, proper methods to repair older windows, plant choices for historic garden styles, or ideas for improving energy efficiency in older homes.
Engage
Special Events: Host a walking tour, wine tasting at a historic site, open house, living history events, and special exhibits for your members and potential new members and supporters. Sponsor a photography contest and post the photos on your website or ask folks to send in letters about their favorite local landmark. Don't forget to take advantage of social media. Encourage attendees to use Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter to share photos and spread the word. The official hashtag for Preservation Month 2014 is #presmonthhttps://twitter.com/search?q=%23presmonth&src=typd .
While this year there is no formal Preservation Proclamation, we encourage you to write your own, and share your events using the hashtag.
Don't forget to post your pictures in our Preservation Month Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/2576727 at N21/ .
Download shareable graphics here for use in your publications and online outreach:

2.       Networking, food on Oregon Heritage Conference menu
Do you have an affinity for history, collections care, historic places or economic development? Do you like to eat? If you do, the Oregon Heritage Conference April 23-25 in Albany will be a great place to combine food with casual conversation and networking with people who have similar interests as yours.

The Conference's special affinity lunches on two days will bring together colleagues from around Oregon wanting to share information, ideas, questions and a bite to eat. You will be able to bite into lunch and talk about these topics:
         railroad heritage,
         a possible Oregon rehabilitation tax credit,
         an African American historic places survey,
         military heritage,
         Main Street, or
         collections care issues.

The Oregon Heritage Conference will take place April 23-25 in historic downtown Albany with the theme of "Celebrate, Recreate, Invigorate."  An engaging keynote talk, special tours, cutting-edge research expositions, and meeting colleagues from across the state are important benefits for attending. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards will take place on the evening of April 24.

Some of the affinity lunches are scheduled for downtown restaurants that feature locally grown foods. The dates of the specific lunches are found on the Heritage Conference registration form that can be found at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/Conference.aspx

3.       Historic Preservation Field School in Astoria, Oregon
Clatsop Community College
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lucien Swerdloff, 503-338-2301; lswerdloff at clatsopcc.edu

Title: Historic Preservation Field School in Astoria, Oregon - The Craft of Historic Buildings

Clatsop Community College announces its new summer Historic Preservation Field School to be held from June 16 to 19, 2014 in Astoria, Oregon.  The Field School will consist of a series of hands-on workshops, visits to regional sites of historic significance, walking tours of historic Astoria, a boat tour of Astoria's Columbia River waterfront, and other opportunities to investigate local history and preservation activities. Presented through the college's award-winning Historic Preservation and Restoration Program, the summer Field School offers attendees the twofold opportunity of developing unique historic preservation skills while soaking up the atmosphere of the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains.

Situated near the mouth of the majestic Columbia River and just a few miles from where the Lewis and Clark Expedition spent the winter of 1805-1806, Astoria is Oregon's gateway to the Pacific.  The area is also rich in natural and scenic beauty.  Hundreds of Victorian homes dot the steep hillsides and a revitalized downtown takes visitors back to another era.

This four-day hands-on Field School introduces participants to the basic concepts of historic preservation.  Students will earn two college credits and engage in the crafts of historic buildings, including woodworking, blacksmithing, stained glass design and repair, and repair and weatherization of historic windows.  The planned schedule of workshops and activities includes:
*             Monday 16 June -- an introduction to historic preservation, understanding and using woodworking tools, a trolley tour along Astoria's waterfront, and a walking tour of historic neighborhoods in Astoria.
*             Tuesday 17 June -- stained glass workshop and an evening tour of the Norman Yeon house and site (a northwest regional style house located in the dunes of the Clatsop Plains).
*             Wednesday 18 June - blacksmithing workshop and an evening tour of historic sites along the Washington side of the Columbia River.
*             Thursday 19 June - historic window repair, glass cutting, and weatherization workshops and an evening boat tour on the Columbia River along Astoria's historic waterfront.

Participants will experience an engaging combination of hands-on Field School activities with customized tours of local historic resources.  Workshops and tours will be conducted by experienced and highly-qualified working artisans, historians and preservationists.  Tuition, fees and supplies for the Field School total $575.  Space is limited so early registration is encouraged.  Registration opens in May 2014 at www.clatsopcc.edu/register or call 503-338-7670. Information on housing options, restaurants and other local activities and events is available through the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce at www.travelastoria.com.

Direct inquiries to:  Lucien Swerdloff at 503-338-2301; lswerdloff at clatsopcc.edu.

*             Stained glass: Students learn the causes of deterioration and failure of stained glass windows and gained hands-on experience in repair and restoration techniques required to re-establish the soundness and integrity of windows.
*             Blacksmithing: Students learn fundamental techniques of blacksmithing under the guidance of blacksmith David Curl.

Just a reminder that registration for the Oregon Heritage Conference is open. We are encouraging our main street communities to attend the conference in lieu of our regular Spring Oregon Main Street training (the Network Meeting for Transforming Downtown and Performing Main Street communities will still take place on April 22 in advance of the conference). The full conference is $70. If you only plan on attending the preservation workshop on Wednesday ( required for our Transforming Downtown and Performing Main Street level communities and strongly suggested for our Exploring Downtown and Affiliate level communities), the fee is just $20. See additional info below as well as the link to the website to register. Some of the sessions that I think would be of interest are:

Wednesday, April 23
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.:           Preservation Workshop - Feasibility, Financing, and Second Floors

Thursday, April 24:           Bad Board - How to Kick 10 Terrible Habits
                                                Grant's Getaways: How to Find Adventure in Oregon's Heritage
                                                Cycle Oregon Selection Process, being bike friendly
                                                Being Green with Preservation
                                                Promoting Communities through the Scenic Bikeways Program

_____________________________________________________

The Oregon Heritage Conference will take place April 23-25 in historic downtown Albany with the theme of "Celebrate, Recreate, Invigorate." Registration is now open.

The abundance of opportunities for linking Oregon heritage and recreation will be the hub of workshops, speakers, tours, and panels. Whether you want to revitalize an organization, engage with tourists, document and preserve historic buildings and collections, advocate for support, or create new appreciation for Oregon heritage in its many forms, you will want to attend.

An engaging keynote talk, special tours, cutting-edge research expositions, and meeting colleagues from across the state are important benefits for attending. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards will take place on the evening of April 24.

The Oregon Heritage Conference will take place at several downtown locations, with registration at the Albany Regional Museum.  The Albany Downtown Association, the Albany Visitors Association and the City of Albany are also assisting with the conference.

Additional conference and registration information is available at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/conference.aspx

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Food Trucks/Transient Vendors
Message-ID: <006801cf486c$6b4f7130$41ee5390$@org>

Good Afternoon!

At the last City Council meeting in Coos Bay, there was a public forum and
discussion of allowing food trucks/transient businesses in the the City.
Currently, there is a BBQ food truck that parks in the Visitor Center
parking lot and there was some concern about it taking  away parking spaces
from visitors. The city administration proposed moving the vendors to a
different, city owned lot. There was also some concern about how to properly
and fairly license the vendors. It looks like the current transient business
license from the city is about $75; established restaurants voiced concerns
that these businesses were paying such low fees and utilizing public
property as compared to the established restaurants who are subject to
higher business license fees and property taxes. 

 

Does anyone have food trucks or transient vendors that set up in their
downtowns? How have they been received by the community and businesses? How
are they regulated (or are they regulated)? 

 

Thanks,

Katherine

Katherine,

The city of Beaverton is exploring changing its regulations to accommodate food carts (longer hours, overnight, in pods).  Take a look at our website-www.beavertonoregon.gov/foodcarts

So far the response has been extremely positive.  If you like, we could send you the results thus far to the survey (ends April 14) to get a sense for the responses from customers, business owners, and property owners.

Best,
Alma

Oregon City is possibly approaching this topic as well. Any survey
information or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Our primary
areas of concern are:

   1. Fair fees keeping in mind restaurants pay for permanent locations
   2. Loss of on street parking (its a longer battle to allow on private
   property due to zoning restrictions)
   3. Demonstrating that food carts are a net positive and that brick and
   mortar restaurants will actually fair better with a well designed food cart
   program.

SURVEY SAYS....
Most Americans now want to live in a walkable neighborhood where they can walk to shops and restaurants and parks, and many are willing to give up a large yard to do so. There is also a strong interest in having access to public transportation. These are among the major findings of the 2013 Community Preference Survey undertaken by the National Association of Realtors.

NEW REPORT FEATURES ADDED TO OREGON HISTORIC SITES DATABASE

Oregon's State Historic Preservation Office recently added new features to the online Historic Sites Database. There are now three ways to find Oregon's historic places on the database: the detailed search screen, the statewide map or the report screen. In addition to single property reports, you can now print out detailed summary reports for selected cities, counties, or "groupings" (historic districts, survey projects, thematic groupings, etc.).

Statistical summaries include date by decade, National Register of Historic Places eligibility evaluation, original use, construction materials, and architectural styles. To see the reports, choose the Report Menu tab at the top of the database's main Search Screen, enter your selection, and print. To explore Oregon's historic places save this link for future use: http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_main.

Other enhancements will be forth coming and you can participate by suggesting ideas via email to oregon.heritage at oregon.gov<mailto:oregon.heritage at oregon.gov>.
