BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 20, 2012
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Crestview Historical Preservation Group Request to Place Items in
Crestview Courthouse
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval to grant the Crestview Historical
Preservation Group's Project Committee the authority to determine what historical
artifacts to display in the designated areas of the Crestview courthouse as indicated on the
attachment.
BACKGROUND: Members of the Project Committee of the Crestview Historical
Preservation Group (CHPG) presented a proposal to the Board at the 11/6/2012 BCC
meeting regarding displaying artifacts of historical significance to Okaloosa County in
certain designated areas of the Crestview Courthouse and requested the Board to consider
granting them exclusive authority to choose what artifacts to display.
The artifacts will primarily be copies of photographs, maps, and documents of historical
significance dating from before the formation of Okaloosa County on June 3, 1915 and
continuing throughout the early history of the county. The artifacts will be copies of items
from a variety of sources; however, will have no market value for insurance purposes.
The Crestview Historical Preservation Group has allocated up to $6,000 to fund the initial
phase of the project. The CHPG will be entirely responsible for providing all future
funding for the maintenance and care of the displayed collection and no liability of any
kind will ever accrue to Okaloosa County or the BCC arising from any element of this
display.
The CHPG will display their artifacts on the corridor walls on the first floor of the
Crestview courthouse as indicated on the attached floor plan.
The CHPG will work with the county's Facilities Maintenance Division Director to
coordinate and install the display. The manner in which each artifact will be displayed
must be approved in advance by the FM Division Director. No current displays of any
other groups will be disturbed by this action.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Board approval to grant the Crestview Historical
Preservation Group's Project Committee the authority to determine what historical
artifacts to display in the designated areas of the Crestview courthouse as indicated on the
attachment.
