GERMAN VILLAGE SOCIETY BOARD OF TRUSTEES

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF June 11, 2019

Present: John Barr, Brittany Gibson, Jim Penikas, Kurt Miller, Joshua Zimmerman, Marie Logothetis, Terri Dalenta, Robin Strohm, Susan Sutherland, Eric Vanderson

Staff and guests: Nancy Kotting, GVS Historic Preservation Advocate; Delilah Lopez, German Village Society executive director.

The meeting was called to order at 6:01 p.m. by President Joshua Zimmerman.

Public Participation

President Joshua Zimmerman welcomed Nancy Kotting to the meeting and explained that he’s asked her to attend the beginning of each board meetings to share both high-level as well as pressing historic preservation updates directly with the board. Nancy shared some reflections she had in talking to a resident recently: as one of the oldest designated districts in the country, German Village was recognized when the historic-preservation movement was otherwise honor- ing districts and structures that were for the most part considered elite and over the top. Our neighborhood was an example of the built environment of a working population being recog- nized; since then, we’ve created one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Columbus. She asked board members to reflect on the irony of that situation: without necessarily intending to, German Village has gone from a working-class, immigrant-filled space to one that protects, cre- ates and perpetuates affluence. Nancy said she’ll continue to dig into this evolution and the landscape in which German Village was originally recognized.

Reports of the Officers

In his President’s Report, Joshua shared updates on Haus und Garten Tour, which is always our focus in June. With only a few weeks to go, 57 PreTour dinner tickets remain available; 13 total dinners are sold out. Haus und Garten Tour chair Marie Logothetis said that cocktail-only and AfFARE tickets are selling well and do tend to see sales pick up in the two weeks before the event, but all ticket sales could use a big push by board members getting the word out in their networks. Joshua mentioned that AfFARE, a new ticket option for Tour and his “pet pro- ject,” is something just about anyone could be interested in, since the $125 ticket covers all the booze and food you could want, includes restaurants, beer and spirits from all over Columbus, and — like all Tour-weekend tickets — benefits the Society’s historic-preservation mission. Treasurer John Barr asked about how our pace with PreTour ticket sales this year compares to years previous, since he noted a $40,000 gap in budget in his report. Marie said that between now and Tour weekend, the Society needs to sell $30,000 in tickets to meet the budget we com- mitted to for this event.

Joshua added that staff and board members have been trying to get a meeting with the city’s new historic preservation officer for months now and have been unsuccessful. In the meantime, the information the Society is currently operating on is from the former past historic preservation officer, who has retired. He added that while we're disappointed the meeting hasn’t happened yet, we're still actively pursuing one since we believe we not only need a good working relation- ship with the Historic Preservation Office to fulfill our mission, but we know we need clarity on a number of issues that only a sit-down meeting can bring. As we understand it, the office is very understaffed, and this issue has been affecting historic-district areas outside our own. Joshua said the Society will keep members abreast of our progress and what we learn.

Vice President Jim Penikas shared an overview of the DropBox files available to board mem- bers for easy reference, which everyone should now have access to. The DropBox contains his- torical materials and policies, as well as an “orientation” folder that’s a good place to get started for those who are new to using it. The “governance” folder contains the Society’s constitution and bylaws, which all board members should be familiar with. constitution and bylaws. Board members with questions about the use of the DropBox or the information contained within it can reach out to any of the Organizational Development Committee members: co-chairs Jeanne Li- kins and Nancy Turner as well as Jim or Susan Sutherland.

Secretary Brittany Gibson presented the minutes of the May 12, 2019, meeting.

MOTION: To approve the minutes of the May 12, 2019, GVS board meeting. [Gibson, Barr]

In his Treasurer’s report, John shared that he has better news than what was reflected in the re- port he submitted before the meeting — while it looked like, compared to last May, we were be- hind on excess revenues as compared to expenses coming into June, it now looks like we’re maintaining our expense levels and continuing to take a hard look at those. John reminded the board the audit approved at the last board meeting and shard that no significant issues or mate- rial weaknesses were noted by the audit. Joshua asked, just for the sake of an example, what a bad outcome of audit could be; John explained that auditors could find that the non-profit has no internal controls in pace or that records are subject to fraudulent activity, which would result in them not being able to validate the audit. Thankfully, John added, that isn’t anything close to the case for the GVS.

Committee Reports

Joshua noted that the Committees had submitted their reports in the board packet and asked if there were any Committee activities with additional updates requiring board discussion or ap- proval.

Jim, pillar liaison to the governance group, announced on behalf of the Organizational Develop- ment Committee that the annual election for four open positions on the Board of Trustees will take place in August. The committee recommends the following slate: Eric Vanderson, who was recently appointed to the Board to fill Dennis Brandon’s seat, which is up for election this year; Nelson Genshaft, who is currently appointed to the one-year, non-voting seat; Natalia Roca,

who is involved in the Historic Preservation Committee and has hosted both Haus und Garten and Monster Bash stops; and Darci Congrove, a former board member who is chair of the Fund for Historic Preservation and TEA 43206, among many other contributions.

Jim said the Organizational Development Committee met with several interested neighbors over the past year to come up with this slate. All four of these individuals have a passion for the neighborhood and are looking forward to furthering their contributions. These nominations kick off a three-week period during which any GVS member in good standing for at least one year can “self-nominate” for an open seat by obtaining 10 signatures from members in good standing and by acknowledging his or her intent to serve if elected. A self-nomination form will be availa- ble from the office and must be returned by June 25 at 5 p.m. Jim asked Delilah to make sure an announcement is included in the Neighbors4Neighbors email newsletter as well. The official ballot, with any self-nominated candidates, will be announced in July.

Staff Reports

Delilah Lopez shared that the Society is helping to celebrate German Village Columbus’ original “gayborhood” in the city’s PRIDE Parade this weekend. Greg Gamier added that the group of volunteers putting it all together are seeking additional help in the final push to put finishing touches on the brick house and this year’s new addition, a pond with running water and an hom- age to the bronze “umbrella girl” statue via drag queen Que Jones. They’re also looking for ad- ditional people to walk with the float during the parade to hand out fans, parasols and flyers that promote Haus und Garten Tour. Delilah added that the group is excited to show off our history and heritage and to compete for “best float,” a category that’s being offered for the first time in awhile. The official “gayborhood” T-shirts will be available for $20 in the Visitors Center before and after the parade.

Delilah also updated the board on the status of the Friends of Schiller, formerly a German Vil- lage Society committee, which shared last month that it had obtained its own 501(c)(3). Final details of what a future partnership looks like are still being worked through, Delilah said, but funds have been transferred and inventory and bookkeeping transfers will come next. As the process continues, Delilah will keep the board updated. In the meantime, if board members speak to anyone who is looking to get in touch with Friends of Schiller, please direct them to President Ann Lilly.

14 Parking Committee Report May 23, 2019

Members Attending Beth Korda, Carolyn McCall, Jonathan Tafel, Tim Bibler, Chair - Guest - Delilah Lopez

On May 1, the City of Columbus hosted a parking conversation for South of Downtown Neighborhoods (German Village, Brewery District & South Side) to discuss the Columbus Strategic Parking Plan (SPP). The meeting included a brief presentation from the Planning Team but focus on gathering input from those attending the meeting. The following is a summary of the input, from the City of the meeting. The next SSP Task Force meeting will be August 7th. If you would like to add to the input please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/columbus- strategic-parking-plan.

Workshop Takeaways • Desire to be left alone by the city • Desire to reduce parking variance for new development • Prioritize residential parking access • Limited/no metered parking • Need to balance business needs for visitor and employee parking with resident parking needs • Desire for leveraging of shared parking opportunities • Desire for additional study of evening and weekend parking conditions • Expanded alternative transportation • Promote use of off-street and shared parking • Hesitancy to payment technology • Desire for lighting and safety improvements • Improved enforcement **

2017 Parking Study In 2017 the GVS Parking Committee conducted a parking study that covered an area from Willow to Livingston and from Third St. to Mohawk. It was a major undertaking, to develop a fair and objective process and to implement the process. The survey was conducted by committee members between June and October. The German Village Society Board supported the 2017 Parking Study and Board members were given periodic updates and the Study’s results.

During the May 7, 2019 German Village Commission meeting the GVS Historic Preservation Advocate spoke and several speakers later the GVS Parking Committee Chair spoke. Both spoke in opposition to the 533 South Third St. Application; as did every speaker that evening.

The GVS Parking Committee Chair explained the 2017 Parking Study to the German Village Commission members; the process used to create an objective parking survey and shared the results.

15 Immediately, after the Parking Committee Chair spoke the GVS Historic Preservation Advocate asked to speak again and according to the GVS Historic Preservation Advocate’s, May Board Report expressed the following to the German Village Commission members.

“In response to internally generated parking data provided the Commission by the Chairperson of the GVS Parking Committee, I requested that data be struck from the record. On request from the City of Columbus Historic Preservation Officer, internally generated parking data is not credible and should never be used in our public advocacy efforts. Only data obtain via third parties is to be used. This has been communicated on more than one occasion to committee members and residents through the course of various advocacy efforts.”

During the May 23, 2019 GVS Parking Committee meeting, committee members discussed the May 7, 2019 German Village Commission meeting. Discussion revolved around why the GVS Historic Preservation Advocate expressed the objections stated above.

The GVS Parking Committee was never given any communication regarding the prohibition of internally generated data.

Also, at no time has anyone expressed any concern about the 2017 Parking Study’s methodology and objectivity. At no time has anyone expressed concern, that the Study was bias, or generally corrupt in its nature.

Committee members did not understand why the City of Columbus Historic Preservation office would judge the credibility of data based solely on whether it was internal or external generated data. The premise of such a policy is that all GVS members, cannot be trusted to do credible research, collect information and/or data and present it to the German Village Commission.

In an effort to gain clarification for the use of any future internally generated data the GVS Parking Committee Chair asked the City of Columbus Historic Preservation office the following question.

"Is it the policy of the Columbus Historic Preservation Office, to request local historic organizations, to not submit such internal data, because the Columbus Preservation Office concludes, that internally generated data is not credible?”

The above question, allows the City of Columbus Historic Preservation office, every opportunity to explain, confirm and/or support this policy, regarding internally generated data. The city of Columbus Historic Preservation office did not offer any support for this policy.

The City’s response to the Chair of the Parking Committee’s question states:

“The Commissions evaluate all materials, based on their merits, through the established hearing process and public participation policies.”

16 The focus of the German Village Commission is not whether the data was generated internally, externally or any combination of the two, but on demonstrating that the research/information/data has merit.

This is good news for those members who volunteered their time and effort in developing and implementing the 2017 Parking Study; knowing that this Study will continue to be used to support the GVS.

Additionally, it is good news for the Preservation Committee members and others, because now members will know that their efforts, to research and collect information/data to support the GVS mission, will be judged on its merits.

Also, the Columbus Historic Preservation Office did not strike any part of the presentation, provided by the GVS Parking Committee Chair.

Long Range Planning Committee May 24, 2019 Meeting Minutes Long Range Planning Committee works to identify avenues in which the German Village Society might educate, advocate, and influence for the GVS Mission, Vision, and Values for the continued stewardship, advancement, and evolution of the German Village neighborhood.

Members Present:  Jordan Ballinger, Eric Vanderson, Delilah Lopez

Action Items from Previous Meeting (April 30, 2019)_  Action items included and expanded upon below in the current meeting minutes.

 Do we need to look into other items? How should we interpret the scope of research? o A lot of plans trying to get to where German Village currently is from a built environment/ urban design standpoint. The GV neighborhood is able to look further into the future. o How can the GVS advocate and support others evolve to where the GV has gone. What neighborhood assets could be improved: transit, access to services and institutions, etc.? 3) Compiled Precedent/ Existing Initiatives  Divide and assign the compiled documents to determine overlaps/ futures that will affect GV? 4) Evaluate the Transit Columbus Agenda (attached to Meeting Minutes) considering a Content Perspective, Document Structure Perspective, and an Advocacy/Partnership Perspective.  “OUR POLICY AGENDA;” Develop GVS POLICY PRIORITIES o Aligns with the GVS Mission, Vision, Values, which distill down to Committees each with its defined role and mission o Makes the GVS predictable; we are able to relate the GVS goals with others and advocate more intentionally and effectively

In attendance: Brooke Albrecht, Jeff Stahler, Ed Sadar, Sandy Kight, Molly Savage, Betsy DeFusco we discussed that Joe Lombardo’s show “Bricks and Brushes” was successful- 12 pieces sold of about 30 or over.

We discussed Ryan Orewiler’s upcoming show and noted that he wants to do a ceiling installation that is 3 dimensional. He discussed it with Jeff who told him to keep it high because there are a lot of activities in the Fest Hall in June and we do not want a mishap. Jeff, Sandy and Molly can possibly help install. Ryan’s friend Richard Lopez may play the piano at his opening!

We have decided that if we have a show for German Village Art League we need to jury it ourselves.

We briefly discussed the fact that we might have monetary support for our openings which would mean we could pay for entertainment, but since Chelsey was not there we will talk about it again next meeting.

Ideas for 2020 artists were passed around. Betsy said she would come prepared with a calendar next meeting so we can plan better. We have decided that group shows are a good thing and can bring in more money. Leah Storrs Fisher was discussed and Jeanie Coy Auseon. Another show of Joe and his students with a different theme, Phil Adams, and Amy Adams were also brought up.

Next meeting is June 17.

Sponsor Relations & Fundraising

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. If you are interested in partnering in any of our upcoming events please do not hesitate to contact me.

German Village Business Community As part of an ongoing effort to support future economic success and tourism we have been working towards the ASAE conference coming in mid-august. I have worked to partner with Columbus Navigator to bring an exciting event, Cookie Crawl, to the bricks of German Village August 11. That Sunday will boast a Columbus-wide ‘Sunday funday’ showcasing our charm and unique businesses. We will be bringing you updates in July.

Events See committee reports.

Haus und Garten: I have secured partnerships with 4 news outlets to assist in promoting Haus und Garten PreTour. With so many new changes this year we have much to celebrate, and much to market. We have also finalized a vendor list for Schiller AfFARE which I am thrilled to showcase. You can view our partners on our website later this week. Please continue to promote and share our event news on social media – it takes a village!

Misc.

With Jena’s resignation I have taken on several of her roles. Please forgive the overall brevity of my report. June 2019 Board Report

Nancy Kotting

Preservation Committee (See submitted report from Committee chair Robin Strohm)

Public Policy I attended a meeting with the IKE/Experience Columbus representatives in which I provided contextual understanding of the district, our guidelines and our history.

I met with a representative from SMART Cities/Columbus as an introduction. The purpose was to explore who German Village might integrate into some of the SMART City future projects. This meeting was introductory, no firm projects were discussed.

I attended the City Council Community Meeting held at the Rec Center and talked to a rep about Good Neighbor Agreements, and to Shannon Hardin about sustainability and Historic Districts.

Haus und Garten Tour 24/7. I have assisted in ad sales, logistics, all permitting, house histories, mailings, etc. I, along with Chelsey will be on site throughout the event. I attended Marie Logothetis’ brunch for Pre-Tour hosts last Sunday- it was wonderful to see everyone. I expressed my gratitude on behalf of myself and staff for all that the hosts do for us.

Grants The final report for the Ohio Humanities Grant for the Brickline ahs been submitted. Their guidance has been invaluable and helped us strive to a higher standard. I am extremely thankful for their support.

Columbia Gas Work on the 2019 routes is underway; we remain in communication with Columbia Gas on a regular basis throughout this process.

Commission Interface June GVC applications were published on our web site shortly following the business meeting and emailed 986 recipients Friday prior to the June 4, Commission meeting. I did not speak on any applications this month.

Technical Support It is definitely repair season. Each day brings several calls from residents and contractors looking for guidance on materials, design, process etc. for the COAs. We have some wonderful full restorations in the making with enthusiastic owners driving the process.

Signage Program Historic House Plaques We have delivered seven new plaques and I am days away from placing an order for another four. We have three now in the que being researched. I hope to map the locations of all of these, then update it regularly so that those interested can do their own tour of them. Brickline I am set to meet with MKSK this Thursday to review installation locations for the Third St. Route. I am working to secure as many Easements as possible ASAP! We have the content done for the Mohawk Route. I will begin that easement process as soon as time allows, probably not until after H&G.

Interns The interns have completed the district wide survey of sidewalk, curb and street conditions. We have created a spread sheet of the data. We have also created a google map of the worst sidewalks in the district. I will be convening the sidewalk task force soon to evaluate the recent applications to our Sidewalk Incentive program and to discuss next steps in assisting those on our ‘worst sidewalks in German Village’ map! We said good bye to our intern Becca Finkes who landed a job in Seattle- it is rewarding to see them move on to new horizons. We thank Becca for her work.

Tours With the resignation of Jena Wilson, I will be working directly with Michelle Mazeke to continue our tour offerings through this season. Michele and I had lunch the week of May 27th in which we discussed several new ideas and details for the upcoming season.

I walked an area around Schmidts with Michelle and Jena to assist them in putting together a Scavenger Hunt utilizing architectural features unique to the district.

Events Haus Un Garten- 24/7!!!! I have put together the house histories, worked on the map, add sales, permits, more permits, some logistics, communicating with our utility project leaders at Columbia Gas and AEP to coordinate the weekend, making sure streets are as accessible as possible in the work zones that weekend.

Additional activities- -I met BOT member Josh Miller for coffee and discussed our advocacy efforts, technology etc. -With Jena’s resignation, I am now in charge of all building rentals and overseeing the Visitor Center as well as capturing all office walk-ins along with Chelsey Craig.

Respectfully submitted
