Landmarks Commission Meeting - July 21, 2026

The Monona Landmarks Commission meeting on July 21, 2026, discussed applying for a Dane Arts grant, due August 1, to fund professional photography of approximately four to six historic properties. The proposal seeks $1,500 from Dane Arts, with a $1,500 match from the commission’s fund balance, for an estimated total project budget of $3,000. The images could support posters, a historic-properties walking tour, the commission’s website, and a future landmarks-book update. No photographer was selected; the applicant will seek cost estimates.

A motion to pursue the $1,500 grant and provide the $1,500 fund-balance match was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission agreed to bring the proposal back for further consideration if a grant offer is received, including review of the award amount and project costs. No contract or purchase was approved at this meeting.
