Make sure the resolution is signed and dated,and that the governing body that has adopted it is clearly identified. Model resolution language is available at www.PreserveAmerica.gov/communities.html. Item 4C: Communities should carefully read through the additional criteria for designation and ensure that they adequately document how they meet at least five of the criteria,including at least one from each of the three categories(discovering heritage through historic places,protecting historic resources, and promoting historic assets). If there is any question about how well the community meets one of the five selected criteria,then the community should provide information on more than five. Communities should feel free to contact ACHP staff if they have a question about how they fulfill and document specific criteria. Item 4C(1): An"ongoing,publicly available inventory of historic properties"means the product of a survey that identifies, describes, and evaluates the condition of historic properties in the community. Be sure to include information on when this was done, any subsequent updates, as well as how and where the public can access the results of this research. Item 4C(5): The"local governmental body, such as a board or commission, charged with leading historic preservation activities within the community"should be specifically authorized or established by the local government to carry out its duties. Its members must be appointed by the local government and its duties spelled out in a governmental document.Non-profit or quasi-governmental organizations with ex-officio membership of a governmental representative do not meet this requirement unless they have a recognized role under a governmental charter or ordinance. Item 4C(10): "A historic preservation awards or recognition program"means a program through which the community seeking designation gives awards recognizing outstanding efforts in historic preservation. It does not mean that the community has received awards for its preservation efforts. Item 4D: Communities are asked to submit three to five color images that illustrate their community's character and show people using and enjoying local historic resources. Digital images on a CD with a minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch(dpi)are preferred; 4"x 6" or larger photographs are acceptable. Photocopies and images printed on paper are not acceptable. Please provide captions and credits for these images and identify the community on the CD or on the back of the photos. Do not superimpose captions, credits, or dates on the images. The images may be used on the Preserve America Web site or for other publicity purposes,which will increase the visibility of the community. Item 5: Additional materials are strongly encouraged, since applications will certainly be enhanced with a showing of community interest and involvement through letters of endorsement and illustrative materials. However,they are not required. Items 6&7: Make sure to read the release authorization and logo use agreement, and to have the chief elected official sign and date the application.
