PUBLIC COMMENT: None III. CONFIRMATION OF THE AGENDA: It was moved and seconded by Commissioner Puente and Commissioner Mouriquand to approve the minutes of March 17, 2005, April 10, 2005, and April 21, 2005 as submitted. Unanimously approved. IV. CONSENT CALENDAR: None V. BUSINESS ITEMS: A. Archaeological Testing and Evaluation Report — Site CA-RIV-7205/H (33-12956): Applicant: RT Hughes, LLC Archaeological Consultant: CRM TECH (Michael Hogan, Principal) Location: Southwest corner of Madison Street and Avenue 60 1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 003 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 2. Commissioner Puente asked if the remains had been positively identified as human. Michael Hogan, Principal of CRM Tech, replied they had not. They were very small pieces and consistent with human remains. 3. Commissioner Sharp asked if they were cremated remains. Mr. Hogan replied they were. Staff asked Mr. Hogan if a positive determination could be made as to whether they were human remains or not. Mr. Hogan replied the remains could not be positively identified. It would just have to be assumed they were, based on the fact they were burned. 4. Commissioner Sharp said the report stated amethyst glass was found, but the archaeological catalog referred to it as purple glass. He asked if these were the same items. Mr. Hogan replied they were. The names are interchangeable. 5. Commissioner Mouriquand commented the report was well written. 6. Chairman Wilbur said the report concluded this was not a historic resource and would only require monitoring during earth -moving operations. That would be the final mitigation needed even though there were potential human remains found on this site. He asked Mr. Hogan if this would be the last time the Commission would review this project and if further mitigation would not be needed. Mr. Hogan replied yes, as only the recommended monitoring would be completed. 7. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if Chairman Wilbur was concerned that a determination was reached that this was not classified as a historical resource. 8. Chairman Wilbur replied he was concerned because of the potential remains. There were a large number of items found in the testing and evaluation of this site. 9. Commissioner Mouriquand pointed out the number of finds in the Management Summary which gives recognition for a cultural resource, even though it doesn't meet the legal criteria of a historic resource. The human bones are undoubtedly of great cultural importance and she was happy to see that reference because it is significant and important and has been recognized. 004 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 2 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 10. Chairman Wilbur stated one specific item may not meet the historical criteria, but there may be potential for other finds during deeper and more extensive excavation. Mr. Hogan replied that was why they were recommending monitoring. 11. Commissioner Mouriquand added the potential is there for subsurface finds. 12. Chairman Wilbur asked staff if the monitoring would cover any contingencies occurring during trenching and excavation. Staff replied yes. 13. Chairman Wilbur commented it was a good report but was concerned about the conclusions reached. Mr. Hogan replied a few pieces of cremated bones are often found. When that happens, it is better to err on the side of caution and treat them as human remains. However, that does not provide any additional scientific knowledge. 14. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Puente and Sharp to adopt Minute Motion 2005-013 accepting the results of the Archaeological Testing and Evaluation Report — Site CA- RIV-7205/H, as submitted. Unanimously approved. B. Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report For the Dunes Retail Center: Applicant: Jeff Lowden (The Dunes Business Park, LLC) Archaeological Consultant: CRM TECH (Michael Hogan, Principal) Location: North side of Highway 111, east of Dune Palms Road 1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if this was on the Mannino property. Staff replied it was not; it was east of that parcel. 3. Commissioner Sharp asked about the buildings in the development to the east of this project. Staff replied the main buildings were the 99C Only store and Smart and Final. Those buildings are not part of this development. This property is 005 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 3 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 west of that project. Chairman Wilbur asked if this was to be a retail center. Staff replied it was. 4. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if Mr. Hogan found any homesteads on the property. She commented on a Hornestead Map prepared some years back. She thought there might have been some homesteads in this area. Mr. Hogan said they had checked and found some 1920's era information. 5. Commissioner Sharp said he was surprised the report did not include any specific cultural values since the property backs right up to the evacuation channel. 6. Commissioner Mouriquand commented it would be easy to check the Government Land Office records on line to see if the foundation on the property had been a homestead. Mr. Hogan did not have any further information on whether this was a homestead. 7. Commissioner Mouriquand commented there was probably no building permit because it was in the County's jurisdiction and they didn't start issuing building permits until the 1950's. 8. Commissioner Puente asked if there was a significant find during trenching and the archaeologist stopped the project, would the Commission be contacted. 9. Commissioner Mouriquand answered no. The Commission reviews the monitoring report after the fact. 10. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Puente and Mouriquand to adopt Minute Motion 2005-014 accepting the Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report for The Dunes Retail Center as submitted. Unanimously approved. C. Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report — Tentative Tract Map 33085: Applicant: Core Homes, LLC Archaeological Consultant: CRM TECH (Michael Hogan, Principal) Location: West side of Madison Street between Avenue 50 and Avenue 52. 006 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Cam\HPC 5-19-05.doc 4 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Chairman Wilbur asked if Mr. Hogan was getting a better response rate from the local Native Americans. Mr. Hogan replied he was, even if it was only through form letters. 3. Commissioner Mouriquand said the Morongo Tribe responds by e-mail. Mr. Hogan agreed. There was a brief discussion regarding the response of Tribes in the area and the current status of some of the tribal representatives. Apparently, the funding for Gary Resvaloso's position had ended and staff should now contact the Planning Director, Ben Scofield and Joe Loya, of the Torres Martinez Tribe, with an invitation to attend the Commission meetings. 4. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Puente and Sharp to adopt Minute Motion 2005-015 accepting the Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report for Tentative Tract Map 33085 as submitted. Unanimously approved. D. Paleontological Resources Assessment Report — Tentative Tract Map 33085 Applicant: Core Homes, LLC Archaeological Consultant: CRM TECH (Michael Hogan, Principal) Location: West side of Madison Street between Avenue 50 and Avenue 52. 1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development Department. 2. Chairman Wilbur commented on the potential of invertebrate remains stated in the report. 3. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Puente and Sharp to adopt Minute Motion 2005-016 accepting the Paleontological Resources Assessment Report — Tentative Tract Map 33085 as submitted. Unanimously approved. VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS: 007 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 5 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 A. Research Grants: 1. Chairman Wilbur asked staff if they had looked into research grants and funding for the initiatives that had been previously discussed by the Commission. Staff replied they had not actively pursued the information due to understaffing. The Community Development Department Director is currently working on adding staff. The Department should be fully staffed within the next two months and assigned staff should be able to concentrate more on extra projects. 2. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if the City had a staff member assigned to writing grants. Staff replied there was someone in the City Manager's office currently assigned to that. 3. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if that person could do some preliminary research on what grants are available. Staff replied they would check into that. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested they could prepare a list of available grants and staff could check on them. Staff replied they would check to see if that was a possibility. 4. Chairman Wilbur added he would be willing to check on the internet for grant -giving organizations and check to see if the City qualified. 5. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested staff begin with the Si website, and check under the CLG Annual Grant. The grants, while not large, can still go as high as $15,000. The grants are specifically designated for survey work, writing general plan elements, amending preservation ordinances, and similar activities. She offered to check the website. 6. Commissioner Mouriquand said the CLG Annual Grant is a matching grant. The match can be in -kind services utilizing staff time, City services, etc. It does not have to be a funding match. She added the Commission could also look at foundation funding. 7. Chairman Wilbur said he was considering private foundations, and asked if the City was allowed to accept foundation funding. 008 P:\CAROLYN\Hlst Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 6 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 8. Commissioner Mouriquand said she did remember an instance where the City had. Staff replied they would have to look into the matter. 9. Commissioner Mouriquand stated the Commission was a non- profit entity and should qualify. 10. Chairman Wilbur said he would have to check on the available grants to see if there were any limitations that would exclude the City from obtaining funding. Staff replied they would check on what the City's policy was. 11. Commissioner Mouriquand commented that there are grants available for as much as $40,000 to $100,000. These types of grants are perfect for assistance on large projects such as the City museum. She asked if the City still owned the Museum. Staff replied, yes, with future plans to expand it. 12. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested the Commission identify potential projects, and the necessary outlay, and then start searching for the funding. Staff could begin by looking into the Fortune 500 foundations, such as Ford, Packard, and Coca Cola. 13. Chairman Wilbur said there's a book of Foundations, Granting Institutions, Non -Profits, and Private. He got it when he was working as a fundraiser. He said there are about half -a -dozen foundations that pre -qualify their recipients which would be a good resource to use. He would be willing to check this resource if someone had a question about a specific Website or foundation. 14. Commissioner Mouriquand added there's a gentleman,, named Mr. Price, who is on contract with the City of Indio to provide leadership and fundraising services for the Coachella Valley Historical Museum. He's written some grants, and gotten funding for their museum facility. Maybe the City could hire him to advise them where to go to get money, and write the grants if staff was short-handed. He could also help identify potential projects. That would be a possible suggestion, but first we would need to identify some projects, such as any old, historic buildings belonging to the City that may need to be seismically retrofitted, or remodeled for adaptive reuse. The City could then either lease the building to some business entity or turn it 009 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 7 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 into a public building. Staff said they would check on City - owned properties. 15. Commissioner Mouriquand said display work about the history of La Quinta could be eligible for funding if it were to be. displayed in a museum. 16. Commissioner Sharp asked about the possibilities available at Point Happy Estates. 17. Commissioner Mouriquand replied that was privately owned. She did add there were grants available for technical studies on historical buildings. 18. Chairman Wilbur gave an example of the Harada house in Riverside. He explained the condition of the building and the amount of money it would take to retrofit and repair the structure. 19. Commissioner Mouriquand explained so many of these structures are demolished because the cost of saving them is so exorbitant. 20. Chairman Wilbur said the Commissioners should prepare a list of projects and sites, and decide which ones are a priority. 21. Commissioner Mouriquand agreed such a list should be discussed in addition to updating the Preservation Ordinance and the General Plan Element. She added the Commission could apply for money to fund an archive room/systern when the City builds the new Museum. 22. Commissioner Sharp commented part of the problem with funding the Museum was the need for salaried personnel. 23. Commissioner Mouriquand asked the status of the Museum. Staff replied it is still being considered but didn't know the time frame. The City was currently working on completing the Library. 24. Commissioner Mouriquand asked if the City Library had any interpretive exhibit space. The Commission could apply for a grant to set up or exhibit in that space. She added libraries are wonderful places to exhibit things and have archives. 010 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 8 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 25. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested the Commission might consider hiring a consultant to finish the Historic Context Statement to assist staff. 26. Commissioner Sharp commented the Historic Context would be a valuable document to display in several City locations; such as Old Town, the Library, or SilverRock. 27. Commissioner Mouriquand said the development and publication of the Historic Context Statement would be helpful, not only as a public document, but as a planning tool. It could serve as a historical document that could be sold at City Hall, the Museum, and the Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from the sales could go towards a specific public benefit account, or to make the document pay for itself. 28. Commissioner Mouriquand replied the Commission could come up with ideas and work with staff to promote the project. She added the Commission should start with a project list, such as the one previously provided by Commissioner Puente. 29. Commissioner Mouriquand suggested the Commission begin with a manageable project, such as the brochure. The Commissioners must also be willing to commit more time to achieve their selected goals. 30. Commissioner Mouriquand asked that this item be included on a future meeting agenda. Staff agreed to place this item on a future agenda. Commissioner Mouriquand stated she could bring brochure examples to the next meeting. The Commission would need to figure out how to finance the printing costs. She suggested checking to see if there was a CLG Grant that would cover these expenses. Staff commented they've seen some photocopied brochures that gave a very professional impression. 31. Commissioner Sharp agreed today's technology would allow the Commission to produce a professional -looking, low-cost brochure. B. Chairman Wilbur requested an item be added to a future agenda for Commissioners to discuss the information they received at the Historic Preservation Conference. O11 P:\CAROLYN\Hist Pres Com\HPC 5-19-05.doc 9 Historic Preservation Commission May 19, 2005 C. Commissioner Mouriquand had a question, derived from attending the Conference, about the new L.E.E.D. criteria for public historic buildings. She asked staff to check on this program. Commissioner Mouriquand said this was presented at the Preservation meets Green case study session. Staff agreed to look into the matter. VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Sharp and Mouriquand to adjourn this Regular Meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission to the next Regular Meeting to be held on June 16, 2005. This meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission was adjourned at 3:57 p.m. Unanimously approved.

CONSULTANT: COGSTONE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT INC. (FOR ECORP CONSULTING, INC.) BACKGROUND: The study area is a 4.6 acre parcel located on the south side of Avenue 58 west of Monroe Street. The property is approximately 60 feet below sea level. The property is planted in rows of older unmaintained date palm and citrus trees. The City is currently processing an application to allow a single-family residential development on the property. A Paleontological Resources Assessment has been completed for the property. The Assessment includes a record search and field survey of the property. This Assessment will be part of the environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the project application. DISCUSSION: A paleontological records search for the property was conducted at the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) in Redlands and in published materials. The records search indicated that no paleontological localities have been found on the property. Nor have any localities have been found within a one -mile radius of the subject property. The field survey conducted by Cogstone Resource Management consisted of systematically walking over the site at three meter intervals and visually observing the site for fossils. The report notes that freshwater fossil mollusk shells of the Holocene Lake Cahuilla beds were observed throughout the entire property. No fossil vertebrate remains were found during the survey. The report concludes that freshwater fossil mollusk shells of the Holocene Lake Cahuilla beds can be expected subsurface since they are on the surface. Recommended is subsurface sampling and locality documentation. This consists of a minimum of two sample locations and testing and analysis of the removed soil. Additionally, monitoring 013 P:\Reports - HPC\2005\7-21-05\rpt tt 33717 pal eoquadrant. doc Additionally, monitoring of all excavation below a depth of 10 feet is recommended to mitigate the impact on early Holocene to (potentially) Pleistocene fossil vertebrates that may be present on the property. The Historic Preservation Commissions policy has been to require monitoring of the entire site during its rough grading as well as trenching if the initial field survey found any fossil mollusk shells on the surface. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Minute Motion 2005- , accepting the "Paleontological Evaluation Report and Mitigation Plan for a 4.6 acre Parcel, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California", as prepared and recommended by Cogstone Resource Management, Inc. and subject to the following conditions: 1 . On- and off -site monitoring of earth -moving and grading in areas identified as likely to contain paleontological resources shall be conducted by a qualified paleontological monitor. The monitor shall be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Proof that a monitor has been retained shall be given to City prior to issuance of first earth -moving permit, or before any clearing of the site is begun. 2. Recovered specimens shall be prepared to the point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates. 3. A report of findings with an appended itemized inventory of specimens shall be submitted to the City prior to the first occupancy of a residence being granted by the City. The report shall include pertinent discussions of the significance of all recovered resources where appropriate. The report and inventory, when submitted will signify completion of the program to mitigate impacts to paleontological resources. 4. Collected resources and related reports, etc. shall be given to the City for curation. Packaging of resources, reports, etc. shall comply with standards commonly used in the paleontological industry. 0 -14 P:\Reports - HPC\2005\7-21-05\rpt tt 33717 paleoquadrant.doc Attachment: 1.

CONSULTANT: ECORP CONSULTING, INC. BACKGROUND: The study area is a 4.6+ acre parcel located on the south side of Avenue 58 west of Monroe Street. The property is planted in rows of older unmaintained date palm and citrus trees. The City is currently processing an application to allow a single-family residential development on the property. A Phase I (survey level) Cultural Resources Assessment has been completed for the property. The Assessment includes a record search and field reconnaissance of the property. This Assessment will be part of the environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the project application. DISCUSSION: An archaeological and historic records search for the property was conducted at the Eastern Information Center located at UC Riverside. The records search indicated the study area has not been surveyed and no cultural resources had been recorded on the site. Within one-half mile of the site, the records search showed nine previous surveys, resulting in two prehistoric sites found. The on -foot field survey was conducted by walking parallel north -south transects spaced ten meters apart. The results of this survey were negative for prehistoric or historic resources. In early April a request was made of the Native American Heritage Commission for a check of their Sacred Lands file. Additionally, 11 letters requesting comments on the project were sent to area Indian tribes. To date, responses have not been received from any of these tribes. - 016 P:\Reports - HPC\2005\7-21-05\rpt tt 33717 ph 1 arch aeoquand rant. doc The report concludes that since no "cultural resources" were encountered during the course of the study, ECORP Consulting is not recommending monitoring during grading and trenching operations. The HPC policy has been to require monitoring in this part of the City regardless of whether artifacts were found. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Minute Motion 2005- , accepting the "Cultural Resources Survey Report for a 4.6 Acre Parcel in La Quinta, Riverside County, California", as prepared and recommended by ECORP Consulting, Inc. and subject to the following conditions: A. The site shall be monitored during on- and off -site trenching and rough grading by qualified archaeological monitors. Proof of retention of monitors shall be given to the City prior to issuance of first earth -moving or clearing permit. B. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the project. C. Collected archaeological resources shall be properly packaged for long term curation, in polyethylene self -seal bags, vials, or film cans as appropriate, all within acid -free, standard size, comprehensively labeled archive boxes and delivered to the City prior to issuance of first Certificate of Occupancy for the property. Materials shall be accompanied by descriptive catalogue, field notes and records, primary research data, and the original graphics.

DEMCAK, RPA AND SUE A. WADE, RPA) BACKGROUND: The study area is approved for development with a single family residential project. The property is a portion of 1,279 acres previously surveyed by CRM TECH for a larger project (Coral Mountain) that was within Riverside County's jurisdiction, but is now within the City's boundaries. This property is being split off from that larger project to allow the residential development. CRM TECH's field survey of the property in 1998 resulted in the recording of a prehistoric site (CA-RIV-5211 /H) with a very minor historic deposit (one piece of amethyst glass). In order to allow the development on this property, a Phase II testing program has been completed. DISCUSSION: A research design was prepared for the testing procedures as noted in the report. The testing of the site consisted of re -surveying the site, a surface collection of artifacts, and excavation of eight shovel test pits (50 cm diameter) eight surface scrapes (1 m x 1 m), seven test units (1 x 1 m) and five trenches (maximum 156 cm depth). Surface collection consisted of ceramic sherds, chipped stone pieces, fragments of formed tools and groundstone milling tools, fire -affected clay and rocks. The surface collection and excavations resulted in numerous potsherds, a few ground stone implements, chipped stone tools, Cottonwood Triangular and Desert Side -notched projectile points, pumice abaders and a shell disc bead being found. Analysis of the artifacts is provided in the report. The report states the artifact types recovered suggests this site was a Temporary camp with the occupants likely ancestors of today's Desert Cahuilla Indians. The report states identification of Site CA-RIV-521 1 /H has been determined to constitute a "historic resource," as defined by CEQA, which required this Phase II 018 P:AstanAhpcArpt tt 31732 ph 2 archaeo.doe evaluation conducted to date, mitigation to a level less than significant has been achieved. The result of this report acknowledges that the site is highly sensitive for cultural resources and therefore, monitoring during earth -moving activities is recommended.

The site shall be monitored during on- and off -site trenching and rough grading by qualified archaeological monitors. Proof of retention of monitors shall be given to the City prior to issuance of first earth -moving or clearing permit. The Torres -Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians shall be contacted to determine if a tribe member is to be included as an archaeological monitor. B. The final report on the monitoring shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the project. C.

Through the efforts of the California Main Street Association and the Californians for alftmia Main Street Preservation Action, the Main Street Program was restored within the Office of Cities Historic Preservation, the result of a provision of Senate Bill 1107, signed by More About Main Street Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on 16 August 2004 "I am very pleased to receive this major economic and preservation program in our office," said State Historic Preservation Officer Milford Wayne Donaldson, FAIA, who was appointed by the Governor to his position in April 2004. "Although the California Main Street program comes without state funding, 1 am confident that necessary funds can be found to energize the program," Donaldson said. "The much wanted assistance provided to local communities and property owners needs to continue." California presently has 39 Main Street Program participants including cities such as Arcata, Oceanside, Salinas, Hanford, Grass Valley and San Diego. Encinitas and Paso Robles received two of five nationwide awards at the 2004 National Main Street Conference in New Mexico, hosted by the Albuquerque Main Street Program, the National Main Street Association, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Becoming a Main Street District While not every city, town or neighborhood engaged in revitalization seeks Main Street certification, many California commercial districts actively pursue the prestigious designation of California Main Street District.

The Federal Government supports historic preservation through a variety of funding sources and technical http://www.achp.gov/funding.html 029 6/20/2005 ACHP I Sources of Financial Assistance for Historic Preservation Projects Page 2 of 3 assistance programs. The National Park Service is a major source of support, but preservation assistance is also available, either directly or indirectly, from many other agencies. This guide is a. clearinghouse of information on Federal historic preservation support., and also touches upon State, tribal, local, and nonprofit funding sources. Successful historic preservation projects can significantly benefit communities by increasing property values, creating jobs, and improving economic vitality through initiatives such as heritage tourism. Historic preservation projects need firm financial foundations to succeed, and a significant amount of funding is available from a wide variety of sources. We hope that this guide helps you navigate these diverse opportunities. John L. Nau, III Chairman Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 2002 Overview In 1853, when Ann Pamela Cunningham launched the first successful. nationwide preservation effort —to preserve George Washington's Mount Vernon —there were no established funding sources to turn to and virtually no precedent for government funding of historic preservation. The situation is radically different today, more than 150 years later. Preservation efforts in America are funded by a diverse network of sources from all levels of government and the private sector. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has established this clearinghouse of information to assist the preservation community and the general public in exploring the range of preservation funding options. The emphasis is on Federal funding, with more limited discussion of State, tribal, local, and non-profit funding opportunities. Please remember that individuals cannot apply directly to the Federal. Government for most Federal historic preservation funding. Such money generally goes to State, tribal, or local governments and non- profit organizations. For more information on the complete range of Federal assistance programs available, we suggest you consult the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (www.cfda.gov), and Grants. gov (www.grants.gov). The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance n.30 http://www.achp.gov/funding.html 6/20/2005 ACHP I Sources of Financial Assistance for Historic Preservation Projects Page 3 of 3 provides information on grants and loans, as well as non -financial Federal assistance.

Search Historic properties receiving funds must be nationally significant and be threatened, endangered, or otherwise demonstrate an urgent preservation need. The program has funded projects at properties ranging from the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde, to buildings on Ellis Island, to San Juan's El Morro fortress. The need continues to outpace available dollars, however. In FY 2001, the program could only fund about 15 percent of the applications received. Funded by the Federal Historic Preservation Fund and administered by the National Park Service (NPS) in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the grants require a dollar -for -dollar non - Federal match. The maximum grant is $ l million, and the minimum is $250,000 for historic property projects and $50,000 for cultural artifact projects. In FY 2004, the program was funded at $33 million. Transportation Enhancements Funding Federal Agency: Federal Highway Administration Recipients: State Transportation Departments www.fliwa.dot.gov/environment/te/index.htin In the 1990s, funding for surface transportation development in this 032 http://www.achp.gov/funding-general.html 6/20/2005 ACHP I Federal Financial Assistance Specifically for Historic Preservation - General Page 2 of 4 country changed significantly with passage of the lntermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and its successor, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). These laws placed new emphasis on giving States and communities flexibility to address environmental and quality of life issues, and a lynchpin in this shift was the creation of dedicated funding for "transportation enhancements." Ten percent of Federal Surface Transportation Program funds are set aside to fund transportation enhancement projects in 12 categories. This has opened up a huge new source of funding for preservation, since these categories include purchase of easements on historic properties., rehabilitation of historic buildings, landscaping in historic areas, archeological planning and research, and scenic or historic highway programs. Projects must relate to surface transportation. Transportation enhancements funding is administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Between 1992 and 2001, more than $3 billion in transportation enhancements money was made available. Within the basic framework of the program, each State decides how it will (or will not) use that funding and States do not have to spend the transportation enhancement dollars available to them. Enthusiasm for the program in general, and for the funding of historic, preservation projects in particular, varies among states. Reflecting this, 2,300 preservation projects were assisted by TEA-21 funds between 1992 and 2001, but this represents only 21 percent of the total number of enhancement projects. The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently working with Congress toward the reauthorization of surface transportation programs. The future existence and funding levels of the transportation enhancements program will depend on the outcome of the reauthorization process. Transit Enhancements Funding Federal Agency: Federal Transit Administration Recipients: Designated public bodies representing urbanized areas with populations over 200,000 www.fhwa.dot.gov/tea21 /factsheets/transenh.htm TEA-21 also requires that one percent of Federal mass transit funding in urbanized areas with a population of more than 200,000 be set aside Ior transit enhancements. The funding is part of the Urbanized Area Formula Program of the Federal Transit Administration. Eligible enhancements include historic preservation, rehabilitation, and operation of historic mass transportation buildings, structures, and facilities (including historic bus and railroad facilities). Projects must be 033 http://www.achp.gov/funding-general.html 6/20/2005 ACHP I Federal Financial Assistance Specifically for Historic Preservation - General Page 3 of 4 designed to enhance mass transportation service or use and be physically or functionally related to transit facilities. In FY 2001, over $8 million from this program was obligated for historic mass transit buildings. National Scenic Byways Grants Federal Agency: Federal Highway Administration Recipients: State Departments of Transportation www.byways.org/ www.bywaysonline.org First created by ISTEA and extended by TEA-21, the National Scenic Byways Program provides technical and financial assistance to help preserve America's scenic roads and promote tourism and economic development. FHWA administers the program and designates roads as National Scenic Byways and All -America Roads, the best of the National Scenic Byways. National Scenic Byways may be recognized not only for their intrinsic natural, scenic, and recreational qualities, but also for their historic, cultural, and archeological resources. Grants are available to assist States in implementing projects on National Scenic Byways and developing State scenic byways programs.Projects that protect historic resources are eligible for grant funding. In FY 2003, $26.5 was available. Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program Federal.4gency: Natural Resources Conservation Service Recipients: State, tribal, or local governments and non -governmental organizations that have existing farmland protection programs www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/frpp/ Through the Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program, the Federal Government assists States, tribes, local governments, and non- governmental organizations in purchasing conservation easements on farm and ranch land to limit its conversion to non-agricultural use. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, the so-called "Farm Bill," that was signed by President Bush May 13, 2002, extended this program to include farms or ranches containing historical and archeological resources. Previously, farms had to meet certain soil criteria to be eligible for the program. Now, the presence of historic properties on agricultural lands and a plan to protect those resources offers another alternative for using the program. The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program will pay up to 50 percent of the cost of purchasing a conservation easement or 034 http://www.achp.gov/funding-general.html 6/20/2005 ACHP I Federal Financial Assistance Specifically for Historic Preservation - General Page 4 of 4 other interest in the land.

Heritage area designation recognizes the distinct history and geography of a region and the desire of residents to collaborate in preserving their cultural and natural resources and capitalizing on them to promote economic development, particularly through heritage tourism. A few examples include the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area in Arizona, the Automobile National Heritage Area in Detroit, and the Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area. Each heritage area has a local management entity which works regionally to promote and coordinate historic preservation, heritage tourism, economic development, recreation, and public education initiatives. As directed by Congress, the National Park Service (NPS) provides technical assistance and matching grant funds for the development and implementation of a management plan for each designated area. Such grants are funded through the Heritage Partnership Program in the NPS National Recreation and Preservation account. In FY 2004, S14.275 million is available.

The transportation enhancements program provides for the implementation of a variety of non-traditional projects, with examples ranging from the restoration of historic transportation facilities, to bike and pedestrian facilities, to landscaping and scenic beautification, and to the mitigation of water pollution from highway runoff. Funding Retains the 10% transportation enhancements set -aside of STP funds. [23USC133(d)(2)] Federal Share [1108(b)(2)] Continues current matching requirements, with the following new innovative financing options: • State may apply funds from other Federal agencies to the non -Federal share of the project. • The non -Federal share may be calculated on a project, multiple -project, or program basis. Under either of the above options, up to 100% of an individual project may be financed with Federal funds. Transferability [1310] Up to 25 percent of the difference between the amount set aside for TE for the fiscal year and the amount set aside for TE for FY 1997 may be transferred to IM, CMAQ, NHS and/or the Bridge Program. Eligibility [1201] Requires that transportation enhancement activities must relate to surface transportation. Expands the definition of transportation enhancements eligibilities to specifically include the following (italicized type indicates new language): • provision of safety and educational activities for pedestrians and bicyclists • scenic or historic highway programs (including provision of tourist and welcome center facilities) • environmental mitigation to address water pollution due to highway runoff or reduce vehicle -caused wild- life mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity • establishment of transportation museums Encourages use of qualified youth conservation or service corps to perform appropriate TE activities..

It is rapidly becoming recognized as the principal standard for benchmarking sustainable, green building design. LEED is more than just an energy program because it awards points for many other aspects of green building design, such as water efficiency, use of recycled materials, light pollution, heat islands, and more. If you are involved in design, construction or planning of new buildings, you should familiarize yourself with the basic tenets of green building design and an organized, easy way to do that is by following the LEED guidelines in planning, design and construction. You can score up to 69 points for a LEED building; some of the points are fairly easy to earn; others rather difficult. You can score points relatively painlessly for smart design in site selection, reduced site disturbance, or reduced light pollution. Other points are earned with more effort or expense, such as graywater recycling, composting toilets, or the provision of alternative fuel refueling stations. Developing a LEED building, a very commendable goal, will require commitment and in some cases, higher first costs. The benefits will be lower operating costs and potentially lower total (life cycle) costs. If you?re not ready to go with the full challenge on your next project, but want to accomplish something environmental and energy efficient, consider setting a modest and attainable goal of meeting the LEED Prerequisites and scoring half the points (13) necessary for LEED certification. The seven LEED prerequisites are: Erosion and Sedimentation Control to reduce negative impacts on water and air quality Fundamental Building Systems Commissioning to verify and ensure that building elements and systems are designed, installed and calibrated to operate as intended http://www.seesorg.org/LEED Program.html 6/7/2005 LEED_Program Page 2 of 2 J - Minimum Energy Performance (meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1-1999) to establish the minimum level of energy for the base building and systems - CFC Reduction in HVAC&R Equipment to reduce ozone depletion - Minimum IAQ (indoor air quality) Performance (meet or exceed ASHRAE 62-1999) to prevent the development of IAQ problems in buildings, maintaining the health and well being of the occupants - ETS Control to prevent exposure of building occupants and systems to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) - Storage and Collection of Recyclables to facilitate the reduction of waste generated by building occupants that is hauled to and disposed of in landfills.

Past topics have included: native languages, histories, tribal law, political and social issues, repatriation, economic development, storytelling, arts, dance, song and other traditions. All topics focusing on California Indians are welcome; however, our main themes for this year's conference will be health, education, natural resources and arts as they relate to traditional knowledge. Because the state of California encompasses the homelands of more than 200 indigenous tribal groups, it is of vital importance for Indians and non -Indians to be aware of current issues, as well as the histories and cultures of our first peoples of this state. After 11 years, the conference will return to Humboldt State University which sits on the homeland of the Wiyot people and is near the homelands of the Yurok, Tolowa, Hupa, and Karuk peoples. PRESENTERS: We look forward to your participation in the 20th Annual California Indian Conference and Gathering. Anyone interested in giving a paper, presentation, or organizing a session or panel, should send an abstract of 150 wards to our CIC planning committee c/o Adrienne Colegrove Raymond at the address listed below by September 1.
