A. Grant Opportunities Update
1. Management Assistant Britt Wilson presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department.
2. In reference to "National Historical Publications and Records Commission Program', one
of the grants mentioned in staff's report, Commissioner Henderson asked if the
Commission should make a motion recommending the City Council support the request of
the La Quinta Historical Society for the grant they are applying for computers.
3. "National Endowment for the Humanities Programs', Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand
asked if the Commission could apply on behalf of the Historical Society for the grant and
would the City qualify as a non-profit organization. Management Assistant Britt Wilson
indicated that all grants state you must be a 301 C, but the IRS says we are non-profit and
gifts are tax deductible if it is for the good of the City.

4. In reference to the "Institute of Museums Services Program", Commissioner Henderson
asked about assistance for the Historical Society. Staff stated this could be a possibility
and they should apply for the grant.
5. In reference to "Historic American Building Survey/Historic American Engineering Record
Program, Britt suggested the Marshall Ranch be considered if it ever became available for
funding assistance, the City could apply for funds to do a study. The La Quinta Historical
Society could do it and the City apply for it. Commissioner Bricker informed the Committee
that usually the funds have to come from some other source.
6. In reference to "National Historic Landmark Program and National Register of Historic
Places Program' Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated this is where the plaque
comes from. Management Assistant Britt Wilson stated the City would have to be on the
National Register, and listed as a national historic site, before being registered as a
National Landmark. Both registries would increase the City's opportunity for funding as
well as offering tax advantages for being on the registry. It is not necessary, however, to
apply for a grant program.
In reference to the "Technical Preservation Services Program" Associate Planner Leslie
Mouriquand asked if the City could apply for assistance in writing the Historical
Preservation Element. Advisor Bricker stated that since the City is a CLG, the City could
request the assistance as it does meet the requirements.
8. Management Assistant Britt Wilson stated he has reviewed other available grants such as
the CLG, as well as other sources.
9. Commissioner Henderson asked if staff was comfortable applying for a grant utilizing any
of the sources referred to above reviewed. Staff stated they were still doing research, but
the most likely at this time would be "The National Historical Publications and Records
Commission Program" and "The Institute of Museum Services Program".
10. Chairman Millis asked if the Historical Society could apply for a grant to purchase a
computer through "The Institute of Museum Services Program. Staff stated they were
informed that it may be possible.
11. Commissioner Henderson stated they would give this information to the Historical Society
at their next meeting and have a letter drafted to the City requesting assistance to apply
for the Grant.
12. Commissioners discussed with staff possible historical sites.

13. Advisor Bricker stated the agencies were looking at the applications more carefully now.
If the City placed property on the National Register, there basically was no review of the
property unless you applied for tax credits. If you applied for improvements then it was
reviewed very strictly. With the adoption of the California Register, if a property was
determined to be eligible for the Registry, they would automatically be registered on the
National Registry.
14. Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated the Commission needs to come up with
possible projects for submittal for CLG funding. The deadline for receiving the proposals
is February/March and staff needs time to have them prepared. Staff suggested the
Historical Preservation Element, a comprehensive City -Wide Survey (either hiring a
consultant or managing the survey with volunteers doing the legwork) be considered as
possible suggestions.
15. Commissioner Henderson stated it was her understanding this was the purpose for
applying for CLG certification was to have the funds for a survey. Members discussed the
different programs that could be applied for funding as well as from the CLG. Some of the
topics suggested were:
Historical contexts
Shared cost of a legal writer
Training and educational proposal to reach CLG requirements
16. Following the discussion, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Henderson/Wright
to direct staff to start the process of applying for a grant from the CLG for eitherior both:
A Context Statement
Funding to attend the CLG Conference
17. Advisor Bricker suggested the survey be completed in phases so the funding could be
staggered. In addition, the time framework for the release of funds may be more
conducive. Some funds received by March require the applicant to have their work
completed in four to six months. She suggested staff look into the time frame allowed to
complete the application. If the project is not completed in the time frame allowed, the
funds must be returned.
18. Staff stated they would like to apply for one grant just to get their feet wet and learn how
to work with the agency and how to apply and complete a grant application.

19. Staff suggested the second grant applied for could be for training or attending the CLG
Conferences.
20. Staff stated they would put together a Request for Proposals (RFP) to see what consultant
support can be obtained and the costs involved. Members discussed the advantages of
hiring a consultant versus doing it in-house. It was suggested that the RFP andlor Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) be mailed out in the fall. From those received, staff would request
an RFP and give them 30-days to prepare it. Then prepare a grant proposal from there.
Staff suggested that a Request for Qualifications (RF(l) and a Scope of Work be prepared
instead. It was stated that there was a need to add a clause that funding for the proposal
is dependent upon funding acceptance.
21. Chairman Millis asked if the context statement needed to be stated very clearly?
22. Advisor Bricker stated will involved with another agency that had received a grant from
the National Endowment for the Arts. The City might want to consider this as well as the
Getty and Mellon Foundations.
23. Commissioner Wright suggested that funding may be applied for to repair the agricultural
pool and landscaping at the Hacienda del Gato.
24. Management Assistant Britt Wilson stated that if the Historical Society wanted City
assistance in applying for a grant from the "National Endowment for the Humanities
Program' or the "Institute of Museum Services Program' they would need to write a letter
as soon as possible. Commissioners Henderson/Millis stated the La Quinta Historical
Society would make the request. In particular, to request a computer with the ability to
scan material for retainment.
25. Staff asked the Commissioners for direction as to whether they would want staff to
prepare an RFQ first or RFP. Staff asked Advisor Bricker if she knew of a list of qualified
people that staff could obtain. Advisor Bricker stated she wasn't sure if the list was up-to-
date, but she knew the offices of SHPO retained a list. In addition, the Information
Centers could be contacted for those in the Southern California Region. Staff needs to do
the Scope of Services now.
26. Following the discussion, staff was directed to research the process for applying for grants
and report back to the Commission at their next meeting.

review of the map that showed the areas of the lower Valley that contained the last seven
inundations of ancient Lake Cahuilla
3. Discussion followed regarding the location of artifacts that had been found at the site.
4. Commissioner Henderson asked that staff write a letter to KSL thanking them and the
Paleontologist for the report and information. They suggested staff inform them of the
City's policy for all developers to notify the Community Development Department as to any
find and allow the City the first right of refusal regarding the artifacts found. Staff needs
to amend the Conditions of Approval to include a statement that the developer will notify
the City of any find and give the City first right of refusal and/or the source of depositing
for the find.
Following a review of the report it was moved and seconded by Commissioners
HendersonlWright to accept the report as submitted.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
I. INTRODUCTION
Title - City of La Quinta Cultural Resources Survey
The City of La Quinta is requesting proposals from cultural resource management consultants to prepare a
comprehensive survey of cultural (architectural, historical, paleontological, and archaeological) resources for
the City of La Quinta.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
In 1995, La Quinta was approved by the State Office of Historic Preservation as a "Certified Local
Government," thereby sanctioning the qualifications of La Quinta's Commission and preservation program,
and mandating of City-wide survey. The City of La Quinta will provide a context statement including the
architectural and historic criteria for determining significance.
Currently, the City of La Quinta has designated a total of 13 historic structures, and contains numerous pre-
historic archaeological sites. On file are final reports of archaeological studies prepared for development
projects for the consultants use.
III. OBJECTIVES
The objective of the City of La Quinta cultural resources survey is to formulate a detailed inventory that will
serve to accomplish the following:
A. Conduct a thorough, accurate survey of the City, focussing on historic structures and sites.
B. Utilize a sound and accepted basis for evaluating the significance of individual cultural resources,
particularly as it may relate to potential listing on the National Register of Historic Places and/or
designation as a local landmark or contributing structure within a historic district.
D. Provide a sound basis for establishing goals and priorities for preserving historic and prehistoric
resources, both individually and collectively as representations of different contextual themes.
E. Provide a detailed sensitivity map of archaeological site resources.
IV. SCOPE OF PROJECT
A. A cultural resource consultant will work closely with staff and a subcommittee of the Historic
Preservation Commission in the development of the survey and sensitivity map. The consultant shall
work under the supervision of the staff liaison to the Historic Preservation Commission.

B. The consultant will be responsible for the development, refinement, and completion of the survey
activities and sensitivity map. This will specifically include the following:
Survey:
1. Identification and description of historic structures and sites.
2. Identification and description of property types related to each context theme, including
a statement of the significance of each property type as it relates to each theme, and a
description of the attributes, historical associations, and level of integrity that are
necessary to list members of each property type on national and local registers.
3. Establishment of goals and priorities for each property type that will set a course of action
to be pursued in preserving representative examples of each property type.
Sensitivity Mao:
Provide a sensitivity map that shall indicate the potential for additional archaeological sites
and resources in the future. This map shall also contain locations of recorded sites and
areas previously surveyed.
C. The consultant will meet at least twice with the full Historic Preservation Commission: at the
beginning of the process to discuss its scope, and at the conclusion of the process to consider
adoption of the survey. The consultant shall also meet periodically as necessary with staff and a
subcommittee of the Commission to evaluate progress and provide direction.
D. The consultant will be responsible for preparing the entire survey. The City will assist the
consultant in the collection of necessary information regarding the history of the City and its
historic resources.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 21, 1995
ITEM: Paleontological Condition Revision
BACKGROUND:
Staff contacted the San Bernardino County Museum staff paleontologist,
Robert Reynolds, for assistance in the development of standardized
language for a condition of approval concerning paleontological
resources. Staff received the attached information from Mr. Reynolds
(Attachment 1).
From the attached information, staff developed revised language for use in
project Conditions of Approval pertaining to the treatment of
paleontological resources (Attachment 2). The condition is time sensitive
as to when particular stages of the paleontological study are to be
performed. The critical stages include "Prior to Issuance of Grading
Permit", "Prior to Commencing Grading Activities", "During Grading
Activities", and "Prior to Issuance of Certificate of Occupancy".
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion approve the attached Condition of Approval language for
paleontological resource treatment.
Attachments:
1. Information from Robert Reynolds
2. Paleontology Condition Language
d11,0 0 , 014
PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A GRADING PERMIT, the Applicant shall retain a
professionally qualified paleontologist to provide monitoring of earth -
moving activities, including trenching for both on -site and off -site related
work.
PRIOR TO COMMENCING GRADING ACTIVITIES, the paleontologist shall
conduct a preliminary survey and surface collection of any paleontological
resources. The project paleontologist shall prepare a monitoring and
salvage program for review and approval by the Community Development
Department prior to implementation.
DURING GRADING ACTIVITIES, the project site shall be monitored by a
professionally qualified paleontologist who maintains the necessary
paleontologic collecting permits and repository agreements. In areas of
known high potential, the project paleontologist may designate a
paleontologic monitor to be present during 100% of the earth -moving
activities. If, after 50% of the grading is completed, it can be demonstrated
that the level of monitoring should be reduced, the project paleontologist
may so amend the mitigation program. The paleontologic monitor(s) is
authorized to temporarily divert equipment while removing fossils.
PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF OCCUPANCY, the project paleontologist shall
submit a final report to the Community Development Department. The final
report shall discuss the methods used, results of the surface survey,
identification, cataloging, curation, and storage of fossil materials
collected; and the significance of the paleontological resources. A final
report of the finds and their significance after all operations are complete
shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission for
acceptability. Acceptance of the final report for the project by the Historic
Preservation Commission signifies completion of the program of
mitigation.

— COMMITTEE REPOM
Coafotrsnable Impact Mitigation Guidelines Committee
The Committee for Conformable Impact Mitigation Guidelines has been active for five
years. Robert E. Reynolds was appointed Committee Chair by SVP President Michael O.
wbodburne in 1989. The Committee is presently submitting the final draft of guidelines.
An informal "committee" dealing with the subject of conformable guidelines has been
active since about 1976, as California agencies were attempting to conform to CEQA (the
California Environmental Quality Act) and NEPA (the National Environmental Protection
Act), By 1978, museum curators, planning agencies, and salvage paleontologists in
California had focused on preserving vertebrate fossils from construction impacts. Meetings
with planners, curators, and paleontologists at the San Bernardino County Museum in
Redlands, Calif., were the first to address consistency in procedures. Later meetings at the
University of California, Riverside, addressed the impacts that voluminous salvage
collections made on the repositories of not -for -profit universities and museums. Dr.
Woodburne, aware that this was or would become a national issue, developed an SVP
committee to study the issues.
Guidelines that had been tested by federal, slate, and municipal authorities in the sates of
California, Arizona, and Nevada were summarized. These were reviewed by regulatory
agencies, contract paleontologists, and museum curators, revised, and submitted for general
SVP membership review in 1991. Comments and changes were incorporated in a series of
reviews by a committee representing state and federal agencies, curators. and salvage
paleontologists. Final review was conducted by SVP Executive Committee officers.
I herewith submit the final draft of the Standard Guidelines for the Assessment and
Mitigation of Adverse Impacts to Nonrenewable Paleontologic Resources. (Robert E.
Reynolds, Chair)

ITEM: Preliminary proposal to make improvements to
designated historic structure located at 77-895 Avenida
Montezuma (Old Lumber Yard)
APPLICANT: Thomas A. McGraw
BACKGROUND:
On September 11, 1995, Mr. Thomas A. McGraw submitted a letter of
intended use for the property located at 77-895 Avenida Montezuma
(Attachment 1). Mr. McGraw is considering the purchase of the property for
adaptive re -use of the existing building complex as an artist's
studiolshowroom with upstairs living quarters. In Attachment 1, Mr.
McGraw explains how he would use the buildings on the property. In
Attachment 2, the proposed improvements to the exterior are listed. It is
Mr. McGraw's intent to rehabilitate the main building with improvements
that are sensitive to and representative of the original architectural style.
The existing lumber shed at the rear of the property would be enclosed and
converted into a workshop.
Attachment 3 contains several photos of the buildings as they currently
are. Exhibit "A" depicts the proposed interior uses and improvements to
the shed and main building (Attachment 4).
STAFF COMMENTS:
Mr. McGraw has not made formal application to the City. He will be required
to submit a plot plan application and a supplemental application to do
work on a designated historic site. However, Mr. McGraw is seeking a
preliminary review and comments on his proposal.
Staff will need to research several issues pertaining to this project, which
include:
1. Use of State Historic Building Code
2. Seismic retrofitting requirements
3. ADA requirements
4. Possible incentives
4 024
5. Architectural style
RECOMMENDATION:
No formal recommendation is sought at this time. Comments from the
Commission will be forwarded to Mr. McGraw.

Dear Mr. Trousdell

ou
As per your suggestion, the following itemized list is a description of the intended use of
the existing property at 77895 Avenida Montezuma. ( 9.90-072 C-V-P "Park" Subzone)
I have included a rough drawing to help clarify my desires. I hope that the property is
located in an area that is zoned for my required use as I am much taken with the existing
building and it's location.
Lower front building would consist of a hand made ceramic tile and sculpture showroom,
studio, office, and conference room, with a sculpture garden and pool to the west.
Lower rear building would house a clay working area, ceramic glaze area, kiln area, and
storage.
Upper front building would remain as a two bedroom residence. It would be necessary for
me to live in to facilitate my work.
Most of my work is by commission, or to wholesale accounts. It is shipped by United
Parcel Service. I would like to have a retail showroom to exhibit my work, and the works
of other ceramic artists.
Please advise if my plans to restore this building meet with your city's requirements.
Thank You,
Sincere]

Dear Steve:
On behalf of the Historic Preservation Commission for the City of La Quinta, I want
to thank you for your compliance and cooperation with the paleontological study that
was conducted by Paleo Environmental Associates for the Weiskopf Course project.
The study resulted in significant discoveries concerning the paleontological resources
of the local area. It is unusual to have a paleontological study conducted on a
development project here in the desert, and because of this, your interest and
cooperation is especially appreciated and commended.
