HRC February 12, 2021 Meeting Agenda
                                         Mission Statement
The mission of the Charlottesville Historic Resources Committee is to advocate for historic
preservation; to promote an appreciation of local historic resources, both tangible and intangible;
and to encourage and coordinate, with appropriate municipal agencies, civic organizations,
institutions and individual scholars, the documentation and interpretation of local history.

The Charlottesville Historic Resources Committee achieves its mission through:
   • Education
   • Public commemoration (historic plaques, signs, markers, and civic festivals and
      ceremonies)
   • Publications (maps, brochures, tour books, and digital media)
   • Public meetings (planning sessions, workshops, and lectures)
   • And through other means.

* Regarding public comment(s). The HRC values community participation and input and
welcomes public comments at meetings. At the beginning of each meeting, not more than 10
minutes will be allowed for the introduction of any guests and public comments. Speakers may
speak for a maximum of two-minutes and shall begin by identifying their name and address. The
intent is to allow public input; not initiate a dialogue or debate with the committee. Subsequent
to this meeting segment, by majority approval the HRC may amend the agenda to allow further
discussion; however, the motion should also establish a time limit for that discussion.
Additionally, prior to adjourning--and applying the conditions above--the HRC may allow a
period not to exceed five minutes for public comment.
