12
Certified Local Government Program -- 2013-2014 Annual Report
(Reporting period is from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014)
A. What are the most critical preservation planning issues? The most critical preservation issue has been and
remains the preservation of thematic districts within the community; one being the Historic Cove
District, and another being the Historic La Quinta Hotel. The digitization of the City's two historic
surveys has been a tremendous help in educating the public and in preventing alteration of the City's
current historic resources. The digitization tool has helped make other City departments aware of the
need to interact with the Planning Department when alterations to (or the demolition of) , historic
resources, are requested.
B. What is the single accomplishment of your local government this year that has done the most to further preservation in
your community? Continued distribution of the City's Historic Walking/Driving Tour Brochure and
continued maintenance of the City's enhanced Historic Preservation webpages.
C. What recognition are you providing for successful preservation projects or programs? None
D. How did you meet or not meet the goals identified in your annual report for last year? See attached Annual Historic
Preservation Goals Report
E. What are your local historic preservation goals for 2014-2015? See attached Annual 2014/15 Work Program
F. So that we may better serve you in the future, are there specific areas and/or issues with which you could use technical
assistance from OHP? We continue to request more staff and Commissioner -training through on-line
courses and technical assistance bulletins. Prudent economic practices dictate more training with less
travel. Although the City was able to include an increase in training resources in its current fiscal -year
budget, staff and Commissioners will continue to utilize portions of its monthly meeting time for in-
house training.

Describe your knowledge of the functions, regulations, and procedures of the La Quinta
Historic Preservation Commission.
The Historic Preservation Commission serves as an advisory board to the La Quinta City
Council. The Commission is responsible for reviewing documentsplans, studies and
al2plications that may affect the identificationprotection, restoratlon and/or retention of sites
that rnay have Historic Cultural or Social si-qjfficance within the City, See Chapter 7.04.030 of
the La guinta Municipal Code for com. Iete description of duties and Responsibilities.
What specific issues or problems face the La Qulnta Historic Preservation Commission
and do you have any suggestions to address those issues or problems?
Since my appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission in December of 2011, the
Commission has focused much of its efforts on assisting City Staff with finding ways to prioritize
the tyges of proiects to be tackled with the Cit 's limited bud et. This past year has also
allowed the Commission to attend several meetings that have enhanced our knowledge of the
history nature of the Ci 's architecture types, structures [Caritas and old adobe), and
requirements for compliance with local State and Federal regulations. Because of the
continuing slowdown in land development agl2lications, the need for the City to find alternative
ways to preserve the historic structures artifacts and other materials will be a further priority.,as
will balancin the needs to satisfy reservation requirements while still providing for public
safety..
However, as the economy slowly improves and as development begins anew, the City will push
further to the south and to the east where encounters with sites that have historic cultural
archeological or paleontological significance may become more commonplace. In such cases
the Commission must be ready to review cases in a timely and thoughtful manner so that an
new activities will respect the heritage of the area.

RESUME OF EDUCATION, CREDENTIALS,
AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Currently seeking the opportunity to continue to serve the City of La Quinta as a Professional Member of the Historic
Preservation Commission. It Is my desire to continue to add my experience, education, training, and service skills to
provide an additional measure of professional expertise to the Commission. The ability to make a significant professional
contribution and work on exciting, creative projects with a dynamic team of professionals and public servants still Inspires
me to a new level of professional excellence every day.
In addition to my experience on the Historic Preservation Commission, I have over 20 years of experience in multi -
disciplined professional environments, overlapped with several years of higher education experience. This experience
provides me with the ability to bring a unique perspective to the Commission. In addition to land use, policy, and
environmental planning expertise, I have a breadth of knowledge and experience In education as an instructor for the
University of Phoenix in subjects that range from history and culture, to writing, to public speaking, to business &
management, to critical thinking.
I have a commitment to finding solutions to the challenges that face our communities. I have studied and implemented
plans for increasing project, community, and regional sustainability. I also possess significant background in the
application of CEQA guidelines for determining the environmental Impact of development projects. I have a passion for
historic preservation, cultural resource management, and urban design and preservation. I have a solid working
knowledge of the USGBC's LEED for New Development, APA's guidelines for low -impact development, and a personal
passion for the utilization of native and efficient landscape techniques. I am also committed to reducing our dependence
on fossil fuels by reviewing all projects for their ability to reduce energy consumption through proper site orientation to
take advantage of active and passive wind and/or solar energy.
In order to ensure that my skill set continues to grow, and so that I can better serve the community, clients, employer,
and peers, I have always maintained a strong commitment to continuing education and community involvement.
Recently, I returned to the University of Phoenix, School of Advance Studies to pursue and receive a Doctor of
Management Degree in Organizational Leadership. The skills that I have learned in this program are immediately
applicable to day-to-day business operations. Additionally, I have gained insight into a wide variety of leadership
techniques (transformational, transactional, team, servant, etc.) that inspire teams and individuals to solve problems in a
creative and collaborative manner. My dissertation Involves a case study of effective Implementation of smart growth
and sustainability techniques in Southern California communities.
As a further demonstration of my commitment to education, nearly four years ago, I accepted a position as a member of
the College of Natural Sciences, College of Humanities, and the School of Business at the University of Phoenix. This part-
time position allows me to stay in touch with the latest techniques in teaching, training, mentoring, and supervision.

Hello CVAS members/guests:
Don't forget the CVAS field trip this coming Saturday,, February 1 st. For desert folks, we are meeting in front of the now -
closed Denny's Restaurant on the north side of the 10 Fwy at Indian Avenue. When I drove by it the other day, the
Denny's sign is no longer there but there is a 76 Gas Station next to it on one side and the Motel 6 on the other side so
you should be able to find us there. I know my other communications indicated a 9:15 a.m, meeting time but I would like
to back that up to 9 a.m. because the museum is 60 miles from the desert and it will take an hour (or less) to drive
there. If you can't make the revised time, please let me know but I am hoping you all can come 15 minutes early. For
ethers, you have indicated that you would meet us at the museum at 10 a.m., the desert folks expected arrival time and
the opening time for the museum. WSC is located at 2345 Searl Parkway, Hemet, 951-791-0033;
httlp://www.westerncentermuseum.org/
We will take the curation tour portion of the museum first since that is a led -tour and then we will go into the museum
which will allow people more time to wonder around if they drive their own vehicles. I had mentioned lunch after the tour
but that may be problematic If there are several vehicles. We'll just play lunch by ear that day. I would anticipate that our
tour would be over by noon (45 minutes or so for the curation portion and 1.25 hours in the museum. It is not a huge
museum and probably an hour will suffice.
For those of you meeting in the desert, we can see if anyone would like to carpool. l don't mind taking folks in my car. I
will have CVAS Liability Release forms for those who wish to car pool with others. We will leave the desert spot by no
later than 9:20 a.m. so if you are late and want us to wait, please call me on my cell phone (noted below) or you can drive
on down to Hemet by yourself. For those of you driving from the desert here is a link to the directions to the WSC.
hftp://mapg.st/LprV9E
think I got it all here but if there are any questions, please let me know.
Thanks and see you all Saturday!

Journey to Mongolia with Joan Schneider —Yes, CVAS is
excited to have Joan speak to us again.... FYI: Joan first spoke to CVAS in May 1990... We love to
hear about her travels. She will present "Mongolian Archaeology" a view from IKH NART Nature
Reserve in Eastern Mongolia.
Four field seasons as Lead Scientist in an Earthwatch-sponsored project in Ikh Nart Nature
Reserve, a Mongolian Protected Area in steppe and Gobi desert environmental zones, has
provided a good sample of the site types and the cultural landscape in this country of nomadic
herders. Working with volunteer crews and Mongolian colleagues, a random -sample landscape
survey will soorrbe completed. As Mongolia moves into the international economic and cultural
world of today many challenges face Mongolians who want to preserve their very rich cultural
heritage. Ikh Nart archaeological sites include those of the Neolithic through the Mongolian
Empire Periods as well as more recent ones influenced by Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist
incursions -- at least 8000+ years of cultural heritage. Come take a trip with me! In addition to
the archaeology, a bit of the still very vibrant and colorful Mongolian culture will be discussed as
well as the endangered wildlife for which Ikh Nart was originally established. Joan.... Photo: Joan
Schneider and Yadmaa Tserendagva, Ikh Nart Archaeologists
JOAN S. SCHNEIDER, M.S., Ph.D.
Biography
Schneider received her MS and PhD degrees in Anthropology from the University of California, Riverside, after a career
change from the health sciences (She has BS and Master of Public Health degrees from Columbia University in New York
City). Her archaeological research focuses on the reasons why prehistoric peoples (particularly women) chose certain
stones for tools and vessels and how the stone chosen related to the tasks performed or uses of the artifacts. She uses
field survey, and geophysical and geochemical analyses to find the sources of rocks and to determine why these rock
sources were chosen. She has contributed professional articles to regional, national, and international publications.
Schneider has worked for over 25 years in arid regions of the world, including the Colorado, Mojave, Sonoran, Negev, and
recently, the Gobi. As a Principal Investigator, she has conducted projects in Joshua Tree and Death Valley National
Parks, as well being an Archaeological Field School Director for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Joshua -Tree. She
works closely with Native American governments and individuals, government agencies, and private corporations on
many projects. She recently retired as an Associate State Archaeologist in the Colorado Desert District of California State
Parks, but continues as a volunteer advisor and liaison for the Colorado Desert Archaeology Society. She is currently
teaching "Archaeology for Citizen Scientists" through the Anza-Borrego Foundation and UC Riverside Extension.
Through a sister -park relationship between Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in Mongolia,
she became involved in this inter -disciplinary international wildlife and cultural resources conservation project in the Gobi
Desert. A Fulbright,Specialist award supported her Mongolian research as well as the help of teams of volunteers
coordinated by Earthwatch Institute. Recently she received a grant from the USA government: Ambassador Cultural
Heritage Preservation grant for expansion of the Ikh Nart project.
She likes field tripsW "Everything begins and ends in the field" (Lewellen).

Biographical sketch, including education, work experience, civic involvement and other back-
ground. Please be sure to include experiences relevant to duties of the position you seek
Please see attached. In addition, as a member of the Commission over the past three years, I have actively
worked on the historic context statement, the historic homes tour/self guided driving tour, and various
development activities brought before the Commission for review
I have attended the yearly conferences, and have attended historic preservation events outside of those
conferences in other cities, as well as tours of the historic sites through out our City, so as to familiarize
myself with them for input during our discussions and actions. I have attended the AB1234 Ethics Training to
assure compliance with its requirements and restrictions. I have attended many City functions directly related
to the interworkings of the Commission and other departments or organizations, such as the Museum
I have poured over and become familiar with the Historic Records Survey, and the buildings and areas
involved in that Survey.
I believe that these activities as a Commissioner, as well as my other functions outside of the Commission, as
noted on the attached, assist in my ability to be an active and vital member of the Commission

Klstot i(;_P-ioservation Cannmissio .
Please see the above. As a member of the Commission for the past three years, and as the Chairperson for the last year,
I have become very familiar with the actual functions of the Commission. Through the attendance at the AB1234 Ethics
Training, I have become famillar with those requirements, and so am able to be aware of those issues, particularly when
attending conferences or other events with other Commissioners.
Through these 3 years, I have become much more conversant in the role of the Commission in preserving and protectir�g
the history of La Quint@ and the buildings and other historic landmarks therein, and in the ability of the Commission to be
involved in bringing that rich history and those wonderful buildings to the attention of "the world" through our website,
attendance at NHP conferences, and (soon) our walking/driving brochures and signage
What specific issues or problems face the La Quinta Historic Preservation Commission and
do you have any suggestions to address those issues or problems?
I remain committed to maintaining the dark sky policy while aware of those who wish to eliminate it - a policy that brings
many people to LQ, and thus provides an opportunity for us to show them out unique community, through our buildings
and our amenities As discussed with the Council during our ioint meeting on October 27, 2009 we need to work further
on pursuing funding sources for our historic preservation projects including finalization of CLG grant applications,
exploring the potential of preparing a Mills Act Ordinance for consideration by the Council for establishing Incentives for a
private property owner to register his property as a historic resource and thus maintain the historic properties and thwart
the ''tear it down" mentality As also discussed at that meeting, we need to obtain funding and support to explore the
possibility of submitting a Multiple -Property Application for state registration of many of our community's historic adobe
structures. I believe issues may develop regarding signage And am hopeful of continued support for our conferences!
What specific attitudes, skills and/or expertise do you think you have which would enhance
the work of the La Quinta Historic Preservation Commission?
Enthusiasm, perseverance and flexibility are my main attributes and they are vitally needed in this position. It is very
important as well to be able to meet and talk to other people about our goals and our community - again a trait that I feel I
have and exercise regularly I am a promoter -- and I promote and encourage others to promote - the uniqueness of our
City and the importance of its historic amenities,
I am aware of the current economic situation, and am grateful to the Council for its ongoing financial support of the
Commission and its providing Commission members the opportunities to attend NHP events - and I believe that is al; o an
attribute to my being on the Commission - NO WHINING is my�motto-

pertaining to historic resources;
• To coordinate with staff on review and approval of archaeological, cultural

scheduled meetings (six in each reporting period) and one special joint meeting with
the City Council and other City appointed boards and commissions.
2012/2013-2013/14 WORK PROGRAM PROJECTS
Historic Sites Brochure
Objective: Review and revise, as necessary, to keep up-to-date on the City's

Report: During the subject reporting periods, the completed a comprehensive
redesign of the City's entire website. While the Historic Preservation Pages'
remain as previously constructed with their original content and functionality,
some minor color adjustments need to be addressed. This along with the
potential of new content should be addressed in the next reporting period.
Local Training and Educational Opportunities
Objective: Research and suggest any training, or education, opportunities and
make available to staff and Commissioners.
Report: As a result of the budget constraints of the past few years, it became
imperative to explore and utilize a variety of local and low cost training and
education opportunities for Commission members. As a result this topic
became a primary objective and was successfully obtained through the
incorporation into the Commission's scheduled meeting agendas use of
California Preservation Foundation online webinars on a variety of historical
preservation subjects along with several presentations from local and
regional historical organizations and experts on related topics.
Curation
Objective: Consider application for State Grant to hire a professional to set up
City's Curation Plan.
PAReports - HPC\2014\HPC 10-16-14\Work Prgrm 14-15.doc
Report: Due to constrained resources, this objective was not pursued.
Historic Context Statement

Report. During the past year, several previously approved and commenced
development projects which had ceased activity during the recent economic
downturn once again became active either as previously approved and
conditioned or with a modified or even a completely new proposal. For these
projects, staff has continued to monitor the original historic, cultural,
archaeological and paleontological mitigation measures to ensure their proper
application to the new projects and when appropriate to bring them back to
the Commission for review. In addition to the continuation of ongoing
monitoring of active development projects, development of a more
comprehensive inventory and review of past and current project mitigatibn
and monitoring compliance is still needed.
FOLLOW UP ACTION
Following discussion and direction by the Commission, staff will prepare a draft
2014/2015 work program for inclusion in the 2013/2014 Certified Local
Government Annual Report scheduled for review by the Commission at your
upcoming November meeting.
