FULL MEETING - Historic Preservation Commission Meeting - March 25, 2026

The Boulder City Historic Preservation Commission held its regular meeting on March 25, 2026, focusing on several historic preservation initiatives and projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the Section 106 review for the Southern Nevada State Veterans Home remodel and addition, where the commission approved findings that no historic properties would be adversely affected by the planned phased construction and expansion. The commission also reviewed a draft architectural survey recommending the creation of a local historic motel district along Nevada Way, with a motion passed to proceed with designation of eight eligible properties. Additionally, the commission recommended local historic designation for the World War II monument and memorial flag pole. The meeting covered grant-funded restoration efforts for the historic water filtration plant, including challenges with brick repointing methods and ongoing consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHIPO). The commission deliberated on nominations for the annual historic preservation award, ultimately selecting 600 Avenue C for recognition. Planning for the upcoming Historic Preservation Day event was discussed, including community engagement activities and promotional efforts within a $300 budget. The commission also considered future agenda items such as lighting plans for the water filtration plant and ongoing citywide historic resource surveys funded partially by SHIPO grants. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but several grant applications and preservation funding opportunities were noted.
