the Commission

Commission regarding the status of all Commissions/Board appointed by the
City Council. Acting City Manager Mark Weiss stated he had prepared and
presented a staff report for the Council that outlined the organizational or
HPC4-18
01 02
Historical Preservation Commission
April 18, 1996
legislative structure of each of the commissions as well as their history and
duties. The City Council reviewed the report and made comments, but
directed staff to meet with each of the commissions/boards and solicit their
comments. The staff report suggested some alternatives as to how some of
these commissions/boards may be merged and streamlined, but there was
nothing specific to the Historic Preservation Commission. Even though there
was no discussion relative to merging the Historic Preservation Commission
with any other commission, staff still felt it appropriate to gain input from the
Historic Preservation Commission regarding this issue.
Chairman Millis stated that in reviewing the report, the budget distribution
of the Commission showed the Planning Commission and. Historic
Preservation Commission had the largest time commitment upon staff, what
was this rationale based on? Community Development Director Jerry
Herman clarified that due to the Survey and Context Statement, staff time
was excessive. This will change as time goes by.
3. Commissioner DeMersman stated it would be very difficult to merge this
Commission with any other commission due to the State requirements for the
Certified Local Government Certification of the Historic Preservation
Commission. In reference to the size of the Commission, it was his
understanding that finding professionally qualified people to fill the current
five positions was always difficult, it would not make sense to increase the
size. Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated there had been a problem
finding people who were qualified to fill the professional positions.
4. Commissioner Wright stated he too felt it would be difficult to merge the
Commission and keep the CLG requirements.
5. There being no further discussion, Assistant City Manager Weiss thanked the
Commission for their input.
B. Discussion - Design Review of New Buildings with Historic Architectural Styles by
the Commission.
Chairman Millis stated this was a request of Commissioner Woodard and due
to his inability to attend this meeting, this subject be continued to the next
meeting. Unanimously approved.
C. Context Statement - update
Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand asked if there were any other comments
from the Commission on the Context Statement. Chairman Millis stated he
was impressed by the thoroughness. He asked if the City had looked into the
HPC4-I8
Historical Preservation Commission
April 18, 1996
change of the ownership title for the Hacienda del Gato. Staff stated it may
be better to have the consultant do this. Chairman Millis stated the title
search may show if any changes have occurred. Commissioner DeMersman
asked if he would be allowed to show the document to Dr. Bean. Staff stated
there were no reasons why he would not be able to do so. Commissioners
Wright and Puente stated they both thought it was very well done.
2. Chairman Millis stated that the section on the history of agriculture had
provided some new and interesting information.
3. Staff discussed with the Commissioners the consultant selection process, date
and time.
4. There being no further comments, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Wright/Demersman to accept the report.
D. Rancho La Quinta Archaeologist Report
Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand informed the Commission that the
archaeologist who prepared the report was not available to make formal
presentation, but the developer Mr. Tom Cullinan, was present. Staff stated
they had a meeting with the developer to discuss the concerns raised by staff
regarding the recommended mitigation raised by the archaeologist. Staff
stated that if the developer followed the suggestions of the report., it may be
too extensive and expensive. Staff had spoken to the archaeologist: regarding
the report and they had responded in return. Staff recommended accepting
the inventory portion and not officially accepting the recommendation for
further work and evaluation.
2. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated that asking for research and design
questions was similar to the presentation by Bruce Love regarding the caims.
The City needs the archaeologist to submit information gleaned from other
sites that would support a research design question. Chairman Millis asked
that by accepting the inventory and not the other if this would be any relief
for the developer. Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated it would make
him aware that he may need to shop for other archaeologists in preparation
of the Phase II scope of work. CEQA addresses the maximum amount of
funds the developer is required to spend on testing and mitigation.
Chairman Millis asked the developer, Mr. Cullinan, if he had any comments.
Mr. Cullinan stated he had no questions at this time. He would speak with
other archaeologists. The Phase II project would not be started for two years.

d. Brian F. Mooney & Associates, Richard Carrico Archaeologist, Susan

2. Commissioner Woodard asked how long the survey should take. Associate
Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated approximately one year as the consultants
would not be able to start the survey until October according to the guidelines
of the Grant. The Grant allows eleven months to complete the survey. Staff
continued to explain the process the consultant would be going through to
conduct the survey as well as what the City expected to obtain from the
survey.
B. Discussion with Staff Relative to the Commission Reviewing New Buildines with
Historic Architectural.
Community Development Director Jerry Herman explained that the City had
a Design Review Board approximately 3-4 years ago and due to the time it
took to process a project through all the commissions/boards for approval, the
City Council decided to combine the Planning Commission and Design
Review Board. It is now the responsibility of the Planning Commission to
review all aspects of new construction including the architecture.
2. Commissioner Woodard stated that the Historic Preservation Commission is
responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the City Council
concerning the retention of any historical structures in the City and he felt the
review of any new buildings to be located in a historical portion of the City,
should also be reviewed by the Commission to ensure the proposed
architectural style is compatible.
3. Staff stated that Council had reduced the number of boards a developer goes
through for approval and may not want to add the Historical Preservation
Commission review to that process.
Commissioner Woodard stated his concern that the City would allow the
"cutsie" type buildings rather than the authentic architecture of La. Quinta's
history. If the City is to have a "Village" atmosphere and does not have
people on the Planning Commission with the knowledge to distinguish
between the "cutsie" and the authentic, and with no policy in place to require
it, the City will not be able to maintain the Village atmosphere.
Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated the City does not
have any such policy for design criteria. The only document that has any
guidelines is the Village Specific Plan. The Planning Commission currently
prefers to retain the look of the architecture used at the La Quinta Hotel and
HPC5-16 _ lJ u ; 0 0 7
I istorical Preservation Commission
May 16, 1996
HPC5-16
tries to approve projects based on that style of architecture, but there is no
policy to require it. Any new development that occurs in the "Village" area
is reviewed according to the Village Specific Plan. The City Council
currently during an economic development meeting, has decided the Village
Specific Plan should be reviewed.
C. City of La Ouinta Historic Context Statement - update
Staff explained they anticipated having the Context Statement completed by
the Commission's June meeting. Staff would still appreciate any information
the Commissioners could volunteer.
Commissioner Woodard thanked staff for the quality of work that had been
produced in the Context Statement. All Commissioners expressed the same
opinion.
Commissioners discussed with staff the different items that would be
included in the Statement. Staff felt their research had produced all the
information that would be available to aid in the writing of the Survey. Once
the Commission has approved the Statement, it will go to the City Council,
probably late June or early July, for their approval.
4. Advisor Lauren Bricker stated the work completed by staff will greatly
reduce the amount of time needed by the consultants to prepare the Survey.
She further suggested staff consider grouping all the figures and pictures to
be included in the Statement, at the end of the document rather than trying to
integrate it into the text. It would serve the document better as an appendix.
Chairman Millis stated the Historical Society would be interested in seeing
that this information is published in some form. The information is worth
having for generations to come. Staff suggested the City may want to apply
for another grant next year to fund such a project.
6. Advisor Bricker suggested that in addition to what staff has provided, it
might be worth the Commissioner's time to designate what criteria should be
used to determine what structures should be placed on the historical list for
the National Registry. Taking into consideration the history of the art and
architecture, what is reasonable to expect.
Chairman Millis asked if the City's natural waterways would be included,
i.e., the All American Canal. Staff stated they would be included in the that
portion concerned with Cultural Landscape as well as the trails, roads, wagon
.,,,U O 0 0 8

roads, etc. that had been identified. These will be included along with the
historical maps that shows the routes such as stage line routes, and Indian
trails. Some of these trails have evolved into the City's major streets such as
Highway 111.

A. Commissioner Items
Chairman Millis informed the Commission that the La Quinta Historical
Society had submitted a letter to the Commission asking for their review and
approval of having the historical street markers, the "obelisks", repaired and
replaced throughout the City. Staff stated it would be on the Commission's
agenda for June. Commissioners discussed with staff possible locations for
the obelisks.
2. Commissioner Puente asked staff when the Metropolitan theaters would be
starting construction. Staff stated they were trying to obtain their funding and
were working with the developer to get started.
Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand stated she had received a letter from
Representative Boxer showing her support for the funding for the Historic
Survey project.
4. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated that staff had been contacting
different individuals to speak at the Commission meetings. This would
enable the Commission to meet their State requirements rather than the
Commission having to attend conferences.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Wright/Puente to
adjourn this meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission to a regular meeting of the Historical
Preservation Commission on June 20, 1996. This meeting of the Historical Preservation
Commission was adjourned at 3:57 P.M. Unanimously approved.

I. INTRODUCTION
Brian F. Mooney Associates (BFMA) is pleased to submit this Proposal to Provide Cultural
Resource Services to the City of La Quinta Community Development Department. BFMA is
a planning and environmental consulting firm offering a full range of services. Founded in
1979, the firm has extensive experience in providing environmental and planning services to both
public agencies and private clients.
As a full service environmental consulting and planning firm, BFMA has the financial and
professional capabilities to complete the project in a timely, professional, and cost effective
manner. In addition to the professional staff discussed in detail in Section IV, we have technical
and administrative support through our word processing and graphics departments.
We have assembled a team from our staff and subconsultants who are highly qualified to conduct
the required cultural resources survey and prepare a professional cultural resources report for
the study area. This team has extensive experience providing historical and archaeological
documentation for city and county governments throughout southern California.
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
Based on the information included in the Request for Proposals (RFP) and our conversations
with Community Development staff, as well as our knowledge of City-wide surveys in support
of Certified Local Government preservation programs, it is our understanding that the City of
La Quinta (City) is seeking to contract with a firm to perform a cost effective and professional
survey and evaluation of the cultural resources within the city limits. More specifically, the City
may issue a contract for an intensive survey and evaluation of the archaeological and historical
resources within the city to include buildings, Native American sites, and landscapes. Funding
for the study will be provided from a grant supplied by the California State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) and the survey, evaluations, and report must comply with SHPO guidelines and
standards.
As stated in the RFP, the study seeks to provide a thorough and accurate survey of the City
focusing on historic structures and sites. With 13 currently designated historic structures, the
City wishes to inventory and map other structures or places that also warrant recordation and
preservation. The study must also use sound and accepted basis for evaluation of the
importance/significance of individual and grouped resources (districts). It is understood that the
evaluations will be based on National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria and may result
in listing on the NRHP, recommendations for listing, and /or designation as a local landmark.
A major element of the study, and a final product of it, will be the establishment of goals and
priorities for preserving historic and prehistoric resources consistent with the City of La Quinta
General Plan and sound preservation policies. This effort will include placing the resources
within the context statement that will be developed by City staff. There is also a requirement
to prepare a detailed sensitivity map depicting archaeological sites. It is understood that while
some limited field survey will be used, the goal is to use existing site records and local
Ai.00 0 ( 015
information to devise a predictive model and map for locations where significant or important
archaeological sites are known or are likely to occur.
The overall goal of the project is provide the City with a fuller understanding of the cultural
resources within the City and to assist the City in development of goals and priorities for the
preservation of each property type based on themes, attributes, historical associations, level of
integrity, and context. This information will aid the City is establishing realistic and feasible
preservation goals and in assessing the cumulative effects of future development and land use.
Site forms for all cultural resources will be completed using the new revised Department of
Parks and Recreation Form (Primary Form DPR523A) for both historic and prehistoric sites and
DPR 523B (Building, Structure, and Object Form) for historic structures and well as
supplemental forms as required. The final product provided to the City will include originals
of the all of the forms and photographs, a technical document that complies with the City and
SHPO guidelines, and submission of data and narrative on City -compatible computer disks.
We understand that at this time there is some uncertainty regarding the start date of the contract
and therefore of the study. For the purposes of budgeting, scheduling, and time lines (as
provided in Section II), we have assumed a start date of August 1, 1996.
As described in Section IV, we believe that the BFMA team is ideally matched for the l-a Quinta
project. As a small -to -medium sized firm with more than 20 years in the environmental business
we pride ourselves on performing particularly well on contracts in the $10,000450,000 range.
As a smaller firm, we can provide the personal service and hand -on capabilities that are often
lost within the makeup of larger firms. The La Quinta study will be a high priority for our staff
as reflected by the fact that the project manager/historian, is a principal in the firm. Further,
the specific team of historians and archaeologists assigned to the La Quinta study are
professionals with extensive desert experience as well as experience on urban surveys funded
by the SHPO through certified local governments.
II. THAE LINE
As noted above, we have assumed a start date of August 1, 1996. This is based on our
understanding that City staff is presently completing the grant application and may receive
funding by that date. Should the actual start date be earlier or later, we are amenable to such
changes. Based on previous experience with studies completed for the City of Oceanside, the
community of Ramona, and the Sweetwater River Valley, we estimate that the performance
schedule will run for approximately eight to nine months depending upon the actual date of
receipt of a notice -to -proceed and the impact of the holiday season on the schedule. Figure 1
provides a time line and milestones for the study.
In brief, the time line assumes that subsequent to contract award, the project principals will meet
with City staff and the full Historic Preservation Committee the second week of August and
begin the background research that same week and through mid -September. The field surveys
would begin concurrent with the background research as a means of ensuring cost effectiveness
in terms of travel and because the field surveys themselves lead to interviews and form a part

of the research data. Field survey will be complete by the first week of October and will be
followed by compilation and synthesis of data during the month of October. Although it was
not specifically requested in the RFP, we would suggest preparation of a preliminary
screencheck, rough cut document for City review during a meeting to be held the second week
of November. Based on comments and modifications provided at that November meeting,
BFMA staff will prepare the draft cultural resources report between the second week of
November and the second week of December. Submittal of the report will occur the week prior
to Christmas with essentially a five calendar week review period which allows for staff holidays
and non -working days. The draft report and City comments will be provided to BFMA by the
end of January and BFMA will require no more than 30-days to make the necessary changes and
submit the final cultural resources report no later than the first week of March 1.997. It is
assumed that after a review and consultation with the Historic Preservation Committee, City staff
and BFMA will meet with the Committee and seek adoption of the report.
III. TECHNICAL APPROACH
BFMA is prepared to provide comprehensive cultural resource services to the City for the
proposed inventory and evaluation. A step-by-step approach is detailed below.
• The initial step in the study will be a kick-off meeting with Leslie Mouriquand and
Christine di Lorio to obtain information that City staff may gave gathered and to discuss
specific needs and objectives. It is important in a study of this kind to avoid duplication
of effort. It is our understanding that City staff has conducted several levels of research
that will be highly beneficial to the background research. This meeting will followed by
a meeting with the Historic Preservation Committee to discuss the scope of work and
approach and to inquire of the Committee about additional sources of information and
persons to contact.
• The next step is to conduct the background research and to build on the information
provided by the City staff. In preparation of this proposal Richard L. Carrico performed
preliminary research at the La Quinta Public Library and at the University of California,
Riverside. Further research will be conducted at the La Quinta Historical Society for
photographs and documents that they may have. Oral interviews will be conducted, as
required, with local knowledgeable persons. Unless it has always been completed City
staff, research will be performed at the University of California, Santa Barbara
architectural archives, the Los Angeles Public Library, the City of Indio, the Bureau of
Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the San Diego Public Library California
Room, and the Bancroft Library: University of California at Berkeley. These
repositories are noted because they contain historic photo collections, early maps, and
early runs of various newspapers. Based on suggestions from City staff, additional
repositories or sources of information may be sought. To the extent that the City has not
received a full and complete records search for cultural resources from the University
of California, Riverside, BFMA will conduct such a search and compile the results. It

is assumed that the City had the majority of such records on file from previous
archaeological surveys conducted for development projects in the city limits. It may also
be necessary (unless completed previously by City staff) to review some assessor's maps
and tax documents. The results of the research will be placed into a data base file on
computer to assist the preparers of the cultural resource report and to provide a
permanent data base for future researchers.
• Concurrent, but towards the end of the research phase of the project, the field survey
team will perform the archaeological and historical surveys. The archaeological survey
will be conducted by Richard L. Carrico and Robert Case. The archaeological survey
will be limited to spot checking of areas that the records search and data compilation
indicated as having high potential for important cultural resources. In general these areas
may include locales in and around Dunes Palms Road, Adams and 48th, and Adams near
Highway 111. The field survey will be conducted as a means of ground truthing the
existing record and to identify any previously unrecorded archaeological sites in
undeveloped areas. A spot check field inventory will be conducted within previously
unsurveyed portions to identify major constraints to future development and land use.
Emphasis will be on those areas that have the greatest potential for significant/important
resources. Consistent with federal and state guidelines. the field surveys will be directed
by a Society of Professional Archaeologists (SOPA) certified archaeologist. Field survey
will be accomplished using standardized intervals of no more than 10 meters between
surveyors. All cultural resource sites (prehistoric and historic) will be recorded on the
newly revised computerized Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 Forms and
mapped at a standardized scale consistent with the project maps. Other areas that have
not be subjected to landform alteration and severe alluviation may be checked if
interviews and research indicate that may contain archaeological sites.
The historic building survey will be conducted by first performing a windshield or drive -
by review of the project area. This preliminary survey in conjunction with data provided
by City staff will allow the researcher to narrow down the list of potentially important
or significant buildings and structures to a manageable group with high potential. The
next step will be to examine the selected structures and buildings and to complete forms
for them to include a photographic record. In general, the survey will focus on those
structures more than 45 years of age, those possessing unique or representative
architectural styles, and those associated with an important architect, historical person,
or important event. It is assumed that the majority of potentially important buildings and
structures will be available for viewing and photographing although there may be
instances where a private landowner will not cooperate with such documentation. In
these cases, BFMA staff will consult with City staff for guidance.
Consultation with interested parties will include communication with the Native American
Heritage Commission in Sacramento and letters requesting information from local
historical societies. It is proposed that, depending on the results of the contacts with
Indian tribal representatives, that at least two meetings with designated Torres -Martinez
representatives be held to inform them of the study and to solicit their input regarding
sensitive or sacred sites that may exist in the study area. This will include consultation
regarding areas that may have been used for the collection or harvesting of traditional
plants and foods.
Upon completion of the field surveys our approach is to compile and synthesize the
materials and meet with City staff for a status report and review of our tentative findings.
We have found such an interim presentation of findings to be highly beneficial and
productive prior to preparation and submittal of the draft report. In evaluating the
resources for their importance and National Register eligibility, we perceive the process
to be one in which City staff and BFMA consult and confer. Because there are several
levels of significance and often the uniqueness and importance of a resource :is dictated
by local history and events, an iterative process between the consultant (BFMA) and City
staff is crucial. We will, in consultation with City staff develop, through modification
of criteria used in previous similar studies, a defensible and sound basis for the selection
and evaluation process.
Subsequently, we will prepare and submit the draft cultural resources report. While not
specified in the RFP, we anticipate submittal of up to six (6) copies of the report for
review and comment by City staff. This report will be a complete report to include all
of the required forms, maps, and narrative.
Upon our receipt of the comments and revisions from City staff, BFMA will make the
necessary modifications to the report and submit it to the City as a final document. At
this time we will also provide the computer files and supporting data. The final
deliverables will consist of one unbound camera-ready original in the event that the City
wishes to produce additional copies and six high quality, bound copies of the report.
Subsequent to submittal of the final report, we will meet a second time with the Historic
Preservation Committee and seek adoption of the report. We believe that it may be
appropriate to provide the Committee with a slide presentation and brief overview to the
results of the study. Our past experience has shown that the Committee, and if
appropriate, the public gains a better understanding of historic resources and preservation
when they are given the opportunity to see such resources in a context of more than a
single building and when there is a cohesive narrative provided to all parties.
IV. PROJECT TEAM
The BFMA project team has completed several cultural resources surveys with the same intent
and focus of the one proposed for La Quinta. It is important to note that performing surveys
in urban areas with an emphasis on historic structures and on building a data base for the
preservation and enhancement of such resources is a specialized field. A thorough knowledge
of architectural history and a sound historical perspective are required. In addition to the
following discussion of similar projects that have been complete on time, within budget and that
.:'•n 1 n AA
were certified by the government agency and by the SHPO, we have provided three examples
of similar studies directed by the project manager, Richard L. Carrico. Because the three
studies..were extensive owing to the numerous site forms, the three copies provided for your
review do not contain all of the resources forms; a representative sample has been provided. The
projects outlined and the three cultural resource reports that we have provided under separate
cover, demonstrate our experience preparing professional cultural resources reports similar to
that anticipated for the La Quinta study.
Project: Historic Resources Inventory, Sweetwater Valley. San Diego County
California
Client: County of San Diego, with funds provided by the State of California
Brief Project Description:
Richard. L. Carrico, the project manager/historian for the proposed La Quinta study, directed
the preparation of cultural resources documentation for several square miles of urban and rural
land in southeastern San Diego County. The study resulted in the recordation and evaluation
of 64 structures and buildings. Since its completion in 1990, the study has been extensively used
by the County of San Diego and by Caltrans District 11 as the definitive data base for the
region.
Project: Ramona Historic Resources Inventory, San Diego County California
Client: County of San Diego, with funds provided by the State of California
Brief Project Description:
Susan H. Carrico, the proposed lead historian and architectural historian for the La Quinta study
served as the principal investigator for the survey, recordation, and evaluation of 112 buildings
and structures in northeastern San Diego County. The survey was very well received by the
Ramona community (an unincorporated area of San Diego County) and has subsequently been
used as a primary document for researchers interested in the history of inland San Diego County.
Project: Cultural Resource Survey for Oceanside, California
Client: City of Oceanside with funds provided by the State of California
Brief Project Description:
Richard L. Carrico directed and supervised an intensive inventory and evaluation of more than
220 buildings, structures, street furniture, objects, and landscapes for the coastal city of
Oceanside. In many ways, Oceanside shares a similar history with La Quinta. While it
*;-.00' 021
witnessed some homesteading and ranching in the 1860s-1880s, it was the later hotel and tourist
trade that spawned the growth of this early resort community.
Project: Beauty Mountain Land Exchange, Riverside County, California
Client: RANCON Land Company
Brief Project Description:
BFMA prepared environmental documentation for more than 4,000 acres of Selected Public
Land and Offered Public Land. The study include archaeological and biological resources and
determination of National Register eligibility for cultural resources.

MEMORANDUM
HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 20, 1996
SUBJECT: STREET OBELISKS
Background - In reference to the request of the Historical Society, staff has contacted the Public
Works Department regarding the location and number of obelisks the City currently has. Presently,
there is one obelisk placed at the southeast corner of each intersection of the Cove. There are some
exceptions, as some property owners and/or vandals removed the obelisks and the Street Department
has found them laying in the street and other places. In addition, there are 33 stored at the City Yard
(Attachment 5). Staff has been unable to obtain the cost of remaking the obelisks as they were not
all made in the same manner or size.
Recommendation - Per the request received from the La Quinta Historical Society (attached), the
goal is to have an obelisk installed at one corner of every residential street intersection in the City,
as well as the major street entrances to the City.
The Commission needs to determine whether this should be a commissioned project or a community
project. Due to the costs involved, the Commission may want to consider a community program that
could be prepared in conjunction with the La Quinta Arts Foundation, the City's Art in Public Places
Commission, the Senior Center, and maybe the school district whereby the obelisks could be
constructed at an economical cost. Due to the vandalism that occurred previously, the program
should include as much public involvement as possible.
The Public Works Department has requested that the obelisks be treated/painted with some type of
fluorescent paint to make them more visible at night. A community program might create enough
pride in the obelisks to deter the vandalism. Students could be recruited to do the; work in
conjunction with an artist as has been done by the Art Foundation. Seniors citizens could be
included as well. Whatever the Commission decides upon, the Art in Public Places Commission
should be contacted so each entity could work in conjunction with the other. The complete proposal
will need to go to the City Council for their approval.
Action/Alternatives:
Approve as a Commission project, working with the Art in Public Places Commission;
2. Approve as a community project, working with the La Quinta Arts Foundation, City's Art
in Public Places Commission, Senior Center, and the La Quinta Historical Society. 037

ITEM: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE EXPIRATION OF COMMISSIONER TERMS
BACKGROUND:
As of June 30, 1996, two of the Historic Preservation Commissioner terms are scheduled to expire. These
are Ned Millis's term and Maria Puente's term. Given the recent City Council concern about the City's
boards and commissions, staff is awaiting Council direction.
There will be a request before the Council on June 18, 1996, to consider an ordinance giving Council
discretion to grant extensions on commission terms. Staff will keep the Commission apprised of Council
action regarding the matter.
