# Historic Preservation Commission Regular Meeting 09.14.26

The City of Millwood Historic Preservation Commission’s regular meeting, identified in the title as September 14, 2026, held a public hearing on the Woodard-Bartles property at 9212 East Frederick Avenue for inclusion on the Millwood Historic Register. Staff reported that the application met five of the register’s 11 criteria, and the owners supported the request; no public comments or objections were reported. The commission lacked a quorum, so it deferred a vote until a later meeting. If approved, staff said the property would be filed with Spokane County and the city could provide a bronze recognition plaque.

Procurement and funding updates included notice that a review committee recommended Millwood’s proposal for 2027 grant funding, pending approval by the director; no award amount was stated. The commission also discussed costs and turnaround time for double-sided historic district signs, with estimates still pending and a phased approach likely because of production, installation, and staff-time costs. A possible 2027 budget request was noted. No contracts or purchases were approved, and no spending-related votes were taken. The commission also discussed proposed preservation-ordinance revisions, including potentially changing the 100% property-owner consent requirement for creating a local district; the revision process has not yet begun formal review.
