Charlotte Hunter-Copper, Historic Preservation Committee Member, provided comments related to the process of working with the Tribe to accomplish the draft Ordinance. She provided information on State and National historic preservation recognition.
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct Staff to add language to the ordinance that makes it clear who can apply for Historic designation, who is responsible for any applicable fees and defines procedural processes where needed. It was also the direction of the City Council for staff to provide the revised draft ordinance to the Historic Preservation Committee for review as well as the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians for their review and comments prior to it coming back to the City Council for consideration.
