d. Providing a stable means of data transmission between the System Gateway and each fire station serviced by the System necessary for the installation, testing and functionality of the of the System; such means of data transmission may include, but is not limited to, TCP/IP, data modems, leased lines, radios, etc;
e. The correct use of the System in accordance with USDD's operating instructions; and
f. The security and integrity of the System.
10. Remote Access. USDD requires remote network access to the City's System, including its Communications Gateways, Station Controllers, and other USDD supplied equipment through Secure Shell (SSH) to perform implementation and support tasks under this Agreement. To enable this the City will provide USDD support personnel VPN or similar remote network access to the System for USDD support personnel ("Customer Support") to effectively troubleshoot critical or complex problems and to expedite resolution of such issues. Remote network access is also used to install core System software upgrades and customized software. USDD will only access City's System with the knowledge and consent of City.
a. Alternative to Network Access. If the City elects not to provide remote network access to the System, then USDD may not be able to perform some support functions. If the City that elects to not routinely provide network access, City may temporarily reinstate this access to allow USDD to perform the above services. The following services will not be performed without this access:
• System software upgrades
• System software customization
• Network troubleshooting assistance including packet capture and network monitoring on USDD devices
• Detailed log analysis
• Bulk updates to System database tables
• Troubleshooting that requires low-level system access or large file transfer b. Timely Access. City must ensure that remote access is available prior to notifying USDD of a support request. In the event that the City is unable to provide remote access, USDD will not be required to provide support outside those tasks that do not require remote access, and any corresponding resolution response times will not apply.
c. Physical Security Tokens. USDD has multiple software engineers that provide after-hours support and these engineers do not typically take security tokens from the USDD office. If the City requires the use of physical security tokens this may delay after hours service.

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.
I. Prevailing Wage Requirements
1. Contractor shall be obligated to ensure any subcontractor used for works that fall under prevailing wage pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk's office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.
2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.
3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.
Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov.
4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.
5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term "certified payroll" shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation Agreement with US Digital Designs, lnc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Addendum Rev. 07-01-18
requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.
6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.
7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1 (a)].
8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered "public works contractor" with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.
9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a "public works contractor". Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.
10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney's fee relating to such fine.
11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
J. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of Agreement with US Digital Designs, lnc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Addendum Rev. 07-01-18
such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor's address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.
K. Enforcement
1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.
2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.
3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor's failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

21-415 Agenda Date: 9/28/2021
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Agreement with US Digital Designs for a Fire Station Alerting System
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Public Safety Dispatchers rely on the fire station alerting system to notify fire station(s) of an incoming emergency. The fire station alerting system provides personnel with the necessary details to respond to the incident.
The existing fire station alerting system was installed over 20 years ago and is at end-of-life status.
The new fire station alerting system will help the Fire Department meet its performance objectives and will contribute to enhanced firefighter wellness and resilience.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.330, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) was conducted as the solicitation method for this procurement, with the award recommendation based on “best value”.
The factors considered in the award were experience, technical capability, and cost.
In 2020, a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised on the City’s bid notification system for a Contractor to provide a fire station alerting system. Sixty-three vendors viewed the RFP, and three proposals were received from Bryx, Inc., PURVIS Systems, and US Digital Designs, Inc. (USDD), respectively. Proposals were independently evaluated by four representatives from the Fire Department and two representatives from the Department of Information Technology. The evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP were experience, technical capability, and cost. Finalists were required to participate in demonstrations and the City elected to conduct a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) to ask clarifying questions regarding the proposed solution and to provide proposers a final opportunity to revise their proposed costs.
References were checked with City of Palo Alto, Mountain View Fire Department, and the Santa Clara County Fire Department. All references checked positive.
USDD is recommended for award of contract as having submitted the best value proposal. They demonstrated experience deploying the proposed system at numerous fire departments across the country. USDD’s technology meets or exceeds the requirements in the RFP and they have a dedicated team on the west coast available for on-demand customer support. In addition, USDD lowered their original price by $45,000 through the BAFO process.
City of Santa Clara Printed on 9/30/2021Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
21-415 Agenda Date: 9/28/2021
Under the proposed agreement, US Digital Designs will provide professional services for project planning, system implementation, configuration, testing, training, and support services. The initial term of the agreement will be five years which covers the purchase and implementation of the software and hardware, plus four years of software support services. The City may extend the term of the Agreement for five additional years for ongoing support services after the initial five-year term.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
US Digital Designs’ system has a first-year cost of approximately $571,774. In FY 2021/22, this first year cost is funded in the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Alerting System Upgrade capital project (project #4094) in the Fire Department Capital Fund. The annual ongoing cost for support services after the first year is $13,342 for Year 2, which is for 6 months of support services (the initial purchase includes 18-Months of warranty and support) and $26,684 annually for Years 3 through 5. The ongoing cost has been factored into the General Fund Operating Budget for the Fire Department.
COORDINATION
This report was coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> .
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an Agreement with US Digital Designs, Inc. to provide services for the purchase, installation and implementation of a fire station alerting system for an initial five-year term beginning on or about September 28, 2021 and ending on or about September 30, 2026 with maximum compensation not-to-exceed $665,167.54 and subject to the appropriation of funds;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to the Agreement up to $67,000 for contingencies in the event there are unanticipated changes during the initial term of the Agreement, subject to the appropriation of funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to extend the term of the Agreement for five additional years ending on or about September 30, 2031, at a cost of up to $40,000 annually for Years 6 through 10. These ongoing costs will be factored into the General Fund Operating Budget for the Fire Department and subject to the appropriation of funds.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Designating a Voting Delegate for the 2022 League of California Cities Annual Business Meeting and City Positions on Proposed Bylaws Amendments
BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) Annual Conference will be held in Long Beach on September 7-9, 2022. The Cal Cities Annual Business Meeting is scheduled on September 8, 2022.
During the conference, Cal Cities will hold its Annual Business Meeting where the membership would normally consider and act on Annual Conference resolutions that establish Cal Cities policy. Annual Conference resolutions guide Cal Cities and member cites improve the quality, responsiveness, and vitality of local government in California.
The City of Santa Clara (City) is a full voting member of Cal Cities. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy. In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, the City Council (Council) must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
DISCUSSION
Cal Cities is requesting that the City designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates who will be present at the Annual Business Meeting.
Councilmember Kevin Park is currently registered to attend the 2022 Cal Cities Annual Conference.
Staff recommends that the Council designate Councilmember Kevin Park to serve as the voting delegate, since no other Councilmembers are registered to attend. There will be no assigned alternate voting delegate.
This year, Cal Cities did not receive any resolutions to be considered at the Annual Conference, however, there will be an amendment to Cal Cities bylaws to be considered and voted on during the business meeting. The proposed bylaws amendments packet that includes the specific amendment language is attached to this report (Attachment 1).
On July 15, 2022, the Cal Cities’ Board voted to present the following proposed bylaws amendments to the General Assembly at the 2022 Annual Conference that would further enhance Cal Cities’ governance (#1-2) and other non-substantive revisions (#3-5):
1. Formalize oversight of the Resolutions Committee by establishing the Second Vice President City of Santa Clara Printed on 8/24/2022Page 1 of 3

22-922 Agenda Date: 8/30/2022
as the chair of the committee, while retaining the President’s authority to appoint the vice chair of the committee.
2. To ensure a more inclusive Nominating Committee, add one committee member appointed from among the Caucus Directors and one additional committee member appointed from among the At-Large Directors for a total of 13 committee members.
3. Clarify that, unless the Board establishes otherwise, the Cal Cities President appoints the chair of Board-established committees.
4. To avoid confusion and clarify organizational responsibilities, remove “Treasurer” from the title of the Second Vice President.
5. To promote consistency, replace the term “Board member(s)” with “Director(s).
Staff and the City’s legislative consultant, Townsend Public Affairs, have reviewed the proposed bylaws amendments which would primarily change the titles of some officers and make slight changes to committee membership and the appointment process. Staff recommends approving a “Support” position for these proposed bylaws amendments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Cal Cities Annual Conference expenses for Council attendance are included in the FY 2022/23 Adopted Biennial Operating Budget. This conference falls outside of the travel expenditure reduction controls for the Administration. It is valuable for City representatives to participate and represent the City given the pandemic and other legislative activity that is in the City’s interest.
COORDINATION
This report was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

Re: Proposed Cal Cities Bylaws Amendments
On July 15, 2022, the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) Board of Directors (Board) voted to present proposed bylaws amendments to the General Assembly at the 2022 Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. This memorandum outlines the history of the proposed amendments, summarizes the amendments, and provides an explanation of the process for adopting amendments to the bylaws.
Background
Beginni
ng in 2017, the Board directed Cal Cities to undertake a strategic planning process that resulted in the adoption of the “Powering Up for California Cities Strategic Grown Plan 2018-2021” (Strategic Growth Plan). The Strategic Growth Plan set forth goals to enhance Cal Cities’ governance to: (a) achieve even higher levels of engagement and effectiveness; (b) ensure optimal engagement by members and effectiveness in supporting fulfillment of the Cal Cities’ mission; and (c) ensure the pathway to leadership is transparent and inclusive.
In furtherance of its governance goals, the Board engaged an association governance consultant (Consultant) to evaluate the Cal Cities governance system and make recommendations for enhancing Cal Cities’ governance. The Consultant gathered and considered input from more than 350 Cal Cities members through advisory groups, roundtable discussions, interviews, and surveys. On July 8, 2021, the Consultant produced a report (Governance Report) detailing 49 recommendations to the Board to deepen the engagement of Cal Cities Member Cities and ensure Cal Cities’ governance is operating at peak performance.
The Governance Report included findings indicating that Cal Cities is a strong organization, with a high level of member engagement, but also highlighted opportunities for Cal Cities to enhance its governance. The opportunities for enhancement included: (a) improving the clarity, ease, and consistency in how the governance system works; (b) clarifying the guidelines for position qualifications and performance expectations; (c) identifying ways to deepen member engagement and enhance the quality of the experience of involvement; and (d) ensuring Cal Cities has an intentional, consistent organizational culture at all levels of the governance system.

CITIES
The findings and recommendations from the Governance Report were presented to the Board during the July 2021 Board meeting. Following a robust exchange of ideas and input, the Board decided to move forward with many of the recommendations, referred other recommendations to a “to be established” board subcommittee for further study, and deferred consideration of the remaining recommendations.
Following Board approval, in September 2021 during the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, the General Assembly voted to approve the following bylaws amendments:
1. Adjust the composition of the Board to achieve a higher impact and be more representative by adding Director seats to the Board for each of the five Diversity Caucuses, and transitioning members of the National League of Cities Board from Cal Cities Directors to one non-voting advisor to the Cal Cities Board.
2. Recognize the Cal Cities Diversity Caucuses in the Cal Cities bylaws to reflect the full contribution the caucuses make to Cal Cities’ mission and vision.
Those amendments became effective on Nov. 24, 2021.
Among the recommendations the Board decided was a priority to move forward was the establishment of a standing Governance Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its governance function.
At its February 2022 meeting, the Board voted to approve Board policy establishing the Governance Committee with the task of regularly reviewing the governance structures, policies, and practices of Cal Cities and reporting its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board also approved a one-year work plan for the Governance Committee that established priority governance issues to focus on in its first year.
Following the Board meeting, President Cindy Silva appointed the following Board members to serve on the Governance Committee:
• Cheryl Viegas Walker, Immediate Past President and Council Member, El Centro, Chair • Walt Allen, Council Member, Covina
• Jan Arbuckle, Vice Mayor, Grass Valley
• LaTanya Bellow, Deputy City Manager, Berkeley
• Pippin Dew, Council Member, Vallejo
• Lynne Kennedy, Mayor Pro Tem, Rancho Cucamonga
• Karen Goh, Mayor, Bakersfield
• Jim Lewis, City Manager, Pismo Beach
• Lisa Middleton, Mayor, Palm Springs
• John Minto, Mayor, Santee
• David Pollock, Council Member, Moorpark
2 The Governance Committee met in April 2022, and following engaging and productive discussions, brought forward to the Board at its May 2022 meeting several recommendations to further enhance Cal Cities’ governance. Among the recommendations approved by the Board during that meeting are two that require bylaws amendments:
1. Formalize oversight of the Resolutions Committee by establishing the Second Vice President as the chair of the committee, while retaining the President’s authority to appoint the vice chair of the committee.
2. To ensure a more inclusive Nominating Committee, add one committee member appointed from among the Caucus Directors and one additional committee member appointed from among the At-Large Directors for a total of 13 committee members.1
In addition to those recommendations identified by the Governance Committee and approved by the Board, Cal Cities staff identified various non-substantive revisions to the Cal Cities bylaws:
1. Clarify that, unless the Board establishes otherwise, the Cal Cities President appoints the chair of Board-established committees.
2. To avoid confusion and clarify organizational responsibilities, remove “Treasurer” from the title of the Second Vice President.
2 3. To promote consistency, replace the term “Board member(s)” with “Director(s).”3
On July 15, 2022, the Board voted to present these proposed bylaws amendments to the General Assembly at the 2022 Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo.
While the work to enhance Cal Cities’ governance is a process being implemented in phases over several years, the Board believes these proposed amendments constitute important next steps toward ensuring Cal Cities’ governance is operating at peak performance.
1 Under the current bylaws, the Nominating Committee is comprised of 11 Directors. Two committee members are appointed from among At-Large Directors and one from a Department. Divisions participate on a rotation, with Directors residing within eight of the Divisions appointed in even-numbered years and Directors from the other eight appointed in odd-numbered years. 2 Under the current bylaws, the Second Vice President is referred to as “Second Vice President/Treasurer.” However, in practice the Second Vice President does not serve as treasurer of Cal Cities. Rather, that function is performed by the Chief Financial Officer designated in Article VIII, section 5, subdivision b(2), of the Cal Cities bylaws.
3 The current bylaws primarily refer to members of the Cal Cities Board of Directors as “Directors.” However, there are instances in which they are referred to as “Board members.” 3 Procedure for Amending the Cal Cities Bylaws
Amendments to the Cal Cities bylaws may be proposed by the Cal Cities Board and may be adopted: (a) by vote of the Cal Cities General Assembly, or (b) by mail ballot to Member Cities.4 In this case, the amendments will be considered by the General Assembly. Bylaws amendments need to be approved by 2/3 of those voting,5 and the number that constitutes 2/3 of those voting (a) cannot be less than a majority of the voting delegates present if there is a quorum at the time the vote is taken;
6 or (b) cannot be less than a majority of a quorum if the meeting started with a quorum but a quorum is not present when the vote is taken.7
If approved by the General Assembly, the amendments to the bylaws will go into effect after the expiration of a 60-day protest period.
8 If, within 60 days after the adoption of the amendments, one-third or more of Member Cities submit a written protest against such amendments, the amendments are automatically suspended until the next Annual Conference and Expo, when they may be taken up again for reconsideration and vote.9 If the amendments are approved by the General Assembly and no protest is lodged, the effective date of the bylaws amendments will be Nov. 9, 2022.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of Santa Clara for a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) program in a form substantially similar to the attached draft MOU
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Over the past decade, there has been an increase in calls for service for persons experiencing mental health crises throughout the region. Over this same timeframe, there has been concern at the county and State level about the overrepresentation of persons with mental illnesses in jails and prisons. The criminal justice system has emphasized diverting individuals with mental health struggles at the earliest point possible, preferably according to the system at the initial point of contact with law enforcement. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies continue to come across the same individuals experiencing crises.
In 2015, the Police Department coordinated a two-year $220,000 agreement with the County of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services Department (BHSD) for intensive case management for up to 20 chronically homeless individuals. This agreement has been amended every two years and expired on June 30, 2022. The Community Development Division is in negotiations with the BHSD for a $250,000 agreement for intensive case management for chronically homeless individuals, plus $100,000 for homeless prevention services. If approved, this two-year agreement will expire on June 30, 2024.
In 2017, the County Board of Supervisors approved the development of a BHSD Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) program. The PERT program was established to provide the highest possible level of service to someone in acute mental crisis before the situation worsens or requires hospitalization. The following year, the County established a pilot Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT). The MCRT provides law enforcement agencies throughout the County with in-field response to in-progress crises.
In 2019, the Police Department rebranded the Nuisance Suppression Unit to the Community Response Team (CRT). With the rebranding came a shift in emphasis from nuisance suppression and abatement to expanded goals of crime reduction, addressing long-term public safety issues and promoting community wellness, often among vulnerable communities.
During the same timeframe, numerous law enforcement agencies throughout the United States started pairing police officers with licensed clinicians to respond to calls involving an individual in a City of Santa Clara Printed on 8/24/2022Page 1 of 5

mental health crisis. Retired Police Chief Michael J. Sellers began communicating with BHSD about the Police Department’s interest in establishing a PERT and Mental Health Collaboration Program in partnership with the County.
While the Police Department utilizes the MCRT as needed, and collaborates with its two clinicians on unique cases, these resources do not match the demand County-wide. As a result, on November 13, 2018, the Police Department sought City Council approval for the Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) program Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund spending plan and the related budget amendment (RTC 18-930); the item passed unanimously. Of the $307,179 received as part of this funding allocation, $180,000 was earmarked for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with BHSD to establish a pilot PERT program with a mental health clinician.
While BHSD utilized Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63) funding to establish PERT partnerships with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, San Jose, Palo Alto and Gilroy Police Departments according to youth suicide statistics and an interest to expand geographical coverage, BHSD’s staffing levels precluded their ability to enter into an MOU with the Santa Clara Police Department at that time.
Meanwhile, in December 2020, the CRT expanded to include two Crisis Intervention Specialists (CIS). CIS operates from an unmarked vehicle, officers wear plain clothes, and are tasked with responding to calls for service that may involve a mental, behavioral or emotional health situation, identifying the situation, assisting with coordinating social services and conducting follow-up with family members following the episode. CIS also makes contact with individuals and/or families that have come to the attention of the Police Department where mental health services may be needed.
In 2021, the Police Department responded to 1,169 mental health-related events, 31% of which resulted in psychiatric hospitalization. CIS members were able to follow up on 460 reported mental health incidents where collaboration with family members and a connection to resources would be most beneficial.
In January 2022, the Police Department initiated the Special Needs Awareness Program (SNAP). It, too, is designed to improve police interactions with members of the community. SNAP provides first responders with important information when responding to calls for service that involve individuals with special needs. Participation in SNAP is voluntary, and information collected is stored in a confidential database. This database is accessed by public safety dispatchers should an emergency or non-emergency call for service involve the registered individual, their associated vehicle license plate number or address. In this case, relevant information may be disclosed to responding first responders alerting responding personnel of accommodations that may need to be considered upon arrival and/or during the incident.
Training
For years, the Police Department’s Training Unit has incorporated innovative strategies to improve the officers’ decision-making ability when encountering individuals who resist lawful action. These strategies (e.g. time, distance, cover, etc.) and tactics (e.g. active listening, negotiation, less lethal equipment, etc.) help increase the odds of the City’s officers decreasing the intensity of a given situation. These tools are intended to empower officers to assess the risk, evaluate options in response to perceived threats and consider the consequences of alternative responses for better outcomes for officers and the community, ideally with a reduction in the amount of force necessary.

As a result, the Police Department has been meeting and/or exceeding all of the new Federal guidelines for some time through Department policy and/or California State mandates.
Training includes, but is not limited to, Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) among public safety dispatchers and police officers to help recognize signs of suicidal or homicidal ideation, self-injurious behavior, mood disorders, psychotic disorders and substance misuse. CIT programs create connections between law enforcement, mental health providers, hospital emergency services and individuals with mental illness and their families. Through intensive training and these collaborative partnerships, CIT improves communication, minimizes the use of force, increases officer and community safety and identifies mental health resources for those in crisis. CIT is also intended to aid in keeping people with mental illness out of jail through reduced arrests and treatment for recovery.
DISCUSSION
Nationally, psychologists have long played an important role in policing, including assessing the mental health of officer candidates, and counseling officers who may be struggling after experiencing traumatic incidents. Now, after highly visible incidents across the country have brought into question the adequacy of police officers’ training to respond to mental health crisis calls, progressive law enforcement agencies are partnering with clinicians to collaborate more closely on emergency responses.
In 2021, it is estimated that approximately 2% of police calls for service in the City of Santa Clara involve an individual behaving erratically or experiencing a mental health crisis; people disabled by substance abuse and/or intoxication is much more difficult to quantify but is undoubtedly greater. The vast majority of these calls do not involve crimes or violence, yet the broader community is ill- equipped to safely and effectively handle the situation. Individuals in crisis often encounter barriers preventing them from receiving the proper services, and unmet attention can result in added reliance on law enforcement. While there has been national attention to make critical support services more accessible, locally there are not services to match demand.
From 2020 through present, a number of local (e.g. lockdown, quarantine, physical distancing, masking), national (e.g. impeachment trial and election protests, stock market crash, wildfires, civil unrest and call for social justice, curfew, unprecedented unemployment, gun violence, Roe vs Wade Supreme Court decision) and global (e.g. pandemic, vaccine rollout) incidents have fostered feelings of uncertainty, fear and loneliness. These factors, alone or combined, have translated into higher levels of psychological distress, stress, anxiety and/or depression.

*** Statistics through June 30, 2022
The proposed MOU between the City and County is intended to support the Police Department’s interest in having a proactive response to the community’s needs and is intended to create another viable alternative to:
· Promote interagency and community collaboration, including working with the City’s new Homelessness Task Force
· Identify prevention and early-intervention strategies · Increase access to and use of mental health services among underserved groups · Improve outcomes for consumers using crisis services, including reduced emergency interventions, criminal justice involvement and psychiatric hospitalizations · Expand upon the Police Department’s access to training and improve law enforcement’s knowledge of mental health issues
· Collect data associated with this new model to guide future experimentation The clinician will work with the Police Department, crisis services, and communities to support individuals and their families in navigating systems and supports. With specialized knowledge and the ability to engage people who may be at risk for “wellness checks,” access to the clinician may help prevent crises and avoid unnecessary hospitalization, police interactions, and arrests.
The term of this pilot program is defined in the MOU as from execution by both parties until the City’s available appropriation of $180,000 is exhausted, whichever occurs first. The County shall pay, up front, the fully weighted costs associated with the salary and benefits of the clinician in accordance with the County’s applicable bargaining unit MOU. Meanwhile, the County will invoice the City on a monthly basis for personnel costs of salary and benefits up to $180,000. The County and Police Department will share other expenses (e.g. laptop, cell phone, training/travel, etc.). The Police Department will provide the clinician with appropriate safety gear, including a fitted protective vest at its sole expense.
The efficacy of this pilot program will be measured by constant data tracking of mental health-related calls for service. This is already standard practice conducted by the Police Department’s Community Response Team and their assigned Crisis Intervention Specialists, meaning a solid baseline of data exists from which to measure the pilot program from.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Historic Resource Inventory Property Designation and Historical Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) for 1091 Jefferson Street
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
Property owners Kathryn and Christopher Miller have applied for listing of the property located at 1091 Jefferson Street on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) and approval of a Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) for the property. The subject property is a 7,650 square foot lot located at the southeast corner of Benton Street and Jefferson Street in a residential setting within the Old Quad historic neighborhood. The existing residence on the property is a 1,325 square foot one-story Neoclassical cottage, with basement, constructed in 1903.
A requirement of the Mills Act is that the building must be a qualified structure, listed on either a local, State or National register. The property owner must also have a plan to restore and rehabilitate the property. The property owner has submitted the requisite application, including a Historic Survey (DPR 523A Form) of the property for determination of eligibility to the HRI, Statement of Justification for the request, and a 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for evaluation of the proposed workplan to restore, rehabilitate and maintain the property. The Mills Act Contract with 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan and supporting documents are made part of the Historical and Landmarks Commission staff report, included here as Attachments 1 and 2 respectively, and reviewed at the June 6, 2022 Historical and Landmarks Commission meeting.
Following review of the application, staff report and public testimony, the Historical and Landmarks Commission recommended that Council approve the addition of 1091 Jefferson Street to the City’s HRI; approve the Mills Act Contract; and adopt the Ten Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for the subject property. Draft Excerpt Minutes of the June 6, 2022 Historical and Landmarks Commission meeting are provided as Attachment 3.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Mills Act Contract is to offer owner(s) of historically significant properties an economic incentive to maintain and preserve the historical physical integrity of their properties, which thereby also increases the aesthetic and economic health of the surrounding neighborhood and the City. A 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan is required to document specific maintenance and preservation activities proposed to be undertaken by the property owners for the Contract property.
The Council established a process for evaluating Mills Act Contract requests on September 4, 1993 City of Santa Clara Printed on 8/24/2022Page 1 of 3

22-971 Agenda Date: 8/30/2022
(Resolution No. 5843), that set a limit of five contracts per year. In 2004, the City Council increased the number of allowable contracts to 10 per year. If approved, the subject property would be the third for 2022 and within the City’s allowed number of ten contracts for 2022.
The historic survey prepared for the property details the criteria for evaluation and listing of a potentially historic resource and concludes that the property is eligible for listing on the City’s HRI based on cultural, architectural and geographic criteria. The property owner’s Statement of Justification along with the 10-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan demonstrate the property owner’s intent to invest in the subject property consistent with the purpose for Mills Act Contracts
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Mills Act program is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 - Historical Resource Restoration / Rehabilitation).
Class 31 consists of projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (“SOI Standards”). The Project will result in the restoration and rehabilitation of the 1903 structure consistent with the SOI Standards.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of the property tax reduction depends upon the property, location, size, and comparable properties in the area. Currently, the assessed value of the property is approximately $748,057 and the annual property tax is approximately $8,829 (Source: Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office). The City receives approximately ten percent (10%) of the base property tax. The Mills Act tax reduction is based on an income capitalization method (ICM) calculation based on the average monthly rent, average maintenance costs, and an amortization schedule to arrive at a reduced appraisal value resulting in lower property taxes. The anticipated tax reduction would be 20 percent to 70 percent based on the County’s evaluation of the property’s age, condition, and local market value factors in accordance with the formula set by state law. Based on the latest information available, the estimated annual fiscal impact to the City for this individual Mills Act contract would be a decrease of property tax revenue in the range of $177 to $618. The actual future fiscal impact may be greater due to the reassessment of property value by the County upon transfer of ownership.
As the current Council policy allows up to 10 Mills Act Contracts to be approved each year, the cumulative economic impact for multiple Mills Act contract does not significantly reduce the overall property tax income for the City. The Mills Act contract is the third such request in 2022.

REPORT TO HISTORICAL AND LANDMARKS COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Consideration of Historic Resource Inventory Property Designation and Historical Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) for 1091 Jefferson Street
BACKGROUND
Property owners Kathryn and Christopher Miller are requesting a Historical Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) for the property located at 1091 Jefferson Street. A requirement of the Mills Act is that the building must be a qualified structure, listed on either a local, State, or National register. The subject site is not currently listed on any of the aforementioned inventories. Therefore, the applicants are seeking local listing on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI). The property must be added to the HRI prior to approving a Mills Act contract.
The subject property is a 7,650 square-foot lot located at the southeast corner of Benton Street and Jefferson Street in a residential setting with the Old Quad historic neighborhood. The existing residence on the property is a 1,325 square-foot one-story Neoclassical cottage constructed in 1903.
A driveway on the Benton Street frontage provides access to on-site uncovered vehicle parking in the street side yard setback. Two nonconforming shed structures are located to the rear of the residence along the east property line.
DISCUSSION
The Mills Act Program allows a qualified property owner to receive a potential property tax reduction and use that savings to assist in offsetting the costs to rehabilitate, restore and maintain their property. To qualify for the program, the property and/or building must be listed on either a local, State, or National register. The property owner must also have a plan to restore and rehabilitate the property. As the subject site is not listed on any of the aforementioned inventories, the property owner is seeking local listing of the property on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI); as well as approval of a Mills Act Contract and the adoption of a Ten-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan for the property.
A Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523A Form was prepared by Lorie Garcia (“evaluator”) of Beyond Buildings, on January 28, 2022, assessing the historical significance of the property based on National and State (California) Register criteria and the City’s local criteria for significance. Based on the evaluation, the property appears to be eligible for listing on the National Register Historic Places under Criterion C for retaining the majority of character defining features of the original building architecture; as well as its contribution to a potentially eligible Historic District (Old Quad) due to its proximity to other historically significant properties. There are presently eight properties within 200 feet of 1091 Jefferson Street that are listed on the City’s HRI.
Eligibility for listing on the California Register of Historic Places was identified by the evaluator under City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/27/2022Page 1 of 3

22-690 Agenda Date: 6/2/2022
Eligibility for listing on the California Register of Historic Places was identified by the evaluator under Criterions 1 (events) and 2 (persons) for the settlement of the property in the 1850s - 1860s by three families who made significant contributions to the agricultural and economic growth of the City. The evaluator also noted that it is eligible for listing under Criterion 3 as the majority of the character defining Neoclassical architecture of the original 1903 home is intact.
In regard to the Criteria for Local Significance, the evaluator identified the property as eligible for listing on the City’s HRI for the following:
· Historically or culturally significant based on Criterions 1, 3 and 5 for its association with early prominent settlers, broad patterns of the City’s economic growth, development, and local history;
· Architectural significance based on Criterion 1 for retention of the majority of character defining features of the Neoclassical architecture and construction period; and · Geographic significance based on Criterions 1 and 2 for the pattern of residential development and visual contribution to the historic setting in the Old Quad.
The DPR Form (Attachment 2) details the criteria for evaluation and listing of a potentially historic resource. The analysis concludes that the property meets the requirement of greater than 50 years in age and retains sufficient integrity to qualify as a historic resource based on the evidence presented in the analysis.
The property owner submitted a Statement of Justification and 10-Year Rehabilitation Plan for the interior and exterior of the residential structure and property grounds (Attachment 4). The proposed work includes new siding, repair of the original porch, upgraded electrical wiring, and various repairs related to wood rot and termite damage.
Staff finds that the work proposed under the 10-Year Rehabilitation and Maintenance Plan adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The proposed changes support the preservation, protection, and maintenance of a structure that is qualified to be a locally significant resource.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Mills Act Program is exempt from CEQA environmental review requirements per CEQA Section 15061(b) (3). The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment
PUBLIC CONTACT
Mills Act Contracts are not publicly noticed as they are a private contract between the City and property owners.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Historical and Landmarks Commission find that the Mills Act application and associated Ten-Year Restoration and Maintenance Plan accomplish the intent of preserving and maintaining the historical significance of the historic property and, therefore, recommend Council City of Santa Clara Printed on 5/27/2022Page 2 of 3

The primary building on the site is a1325 sq. ft. , one-story house, constructed in1903 and designed in the Neoclassical cottage subtype of the Neoclassical architectural style. According to McAlester, one-story is the main character-defining feature of this architectural style sub-type. F'i.onting roughly west onto Jefferson Street, the house is situated on a 7 ,650 sq. ft. lot at the Southeast comer of Jefferson and Benton Streets. It is set back from the street allowing for a cultivated lawn and planting beds with ornamental shrubbery.
A low hedge that edges the lot provides a visual separation between the property and sidewalk. Street trees shade both the front and the north side-elevation of the property. The house is set almost centered on its lot, leaving ample yard space on both sides of the property. Opening onto Benton Street, a truncated driveway, finished with concrete, is located on the east side of the lot. The driveway ends at a wrought iron gated fence that runs from the house to a wooden shed on the east property line and secures access to the rear of the property. There is no garage.
A wide, straight, brick walkway leads from the Jefferson Street sidewalk to the front entry. Two narrower brick walkways, set at the edge of the lawn adjacent to the planting beds, branch off from this walkway. One leads to the driveway and one to a high wooden gated fence that secures access from Jefferson Street to the south side-yard of the house. Along with two small shed structures, the rear yard is mainly concrete with a low, large wood deck that wraps around the rear and the south side of the house. A narrow planting bed is adjacent to the high wood fence that runs along the south property line.
The plan of this wooden, single-family residence is squared and it is set on a concrete foundation over a full basement, which elevates the living area approximately 30" above the ground. It is distinguished by a hipped roof with moderately projecting , boxed eaves, punctuated in the front by a prominent , centered, hipped roof dormer, which played an important part in visually breaking up the roof and ventilating the home. Both the hipped roof and the dormer are character defining features of the Neoclassical cottage architectural style. It has a classical tiered cornice and a band of narrow horizontal molding at the roof line. There is no frieze. The roof dormer has a large, rectangular. wooden louvered vent instead of a window, which like the home 's windows is edged with wide back-banded trim.
The roof is sheathed with composition shingles . A brick fireplace chimney projects through the southside elevation roof plane. Narrow, wooden shiplap siding sheathes the house with a water table that defines the basement level from the main floor living level wrapping around it.
~------------------------------~ Another character-defining feature of the Supplemental Photograph or Drawing
(Continued on page 3, Form 523L)
DPR 523L (1/95)
Neoclassical cottage architectural style is found in
the home 's small rectangular porch, which is
absorbed within the perimeter of the house. The
roof rests on one classical square column at the
entry stairs and on a half column at the north end
of the porch, which are sheathed in the same
siding that covers the house. A low knee wall is
located between the two columns. A large 20-light,
wood framed, fixed window, consisting of 4 rows of
5 panes per row, separated by narrow muntins, set
into the north side-elevation , creates an "open"
outer north end to the porch and appears to be
original.
The main entrance is on the front (west) fac;ade
and is accessed by 5 concrete steps, which are
flanked by a solid balustrade. The balustrade does
not appear to have been part of the original
construction as typically, a terraced stoop flanked
the front steps in this architectural style. The front

door is centered and set into an inner, narrow, recessed portion of the porch. The front door (original) has a design of fifteen (15), rectangular, vertically orientated, glass panes (5 rows of 3 panes per row), separated by muntins set into a wood frame. It is set into its original opening. The door surround consists of wide back-banded trim that also is original to the house. On the front facade to the side of the front ehtry door is a large, square, 111, double-hung wood-framed window, the top pane smaller than the lower (original), with a narrow sill and surrounded by wide back-banded trim.
On the front facade, a full-height, hipped roof, slanted bay projects from under the main roof eaves, with a broad angle minimizing the distance of the projection. The front wall of the bay contains a large, square, fixed window. Fenestration of the bay's slanted sides consists of narrow, rectangular, vertically orientated, one-over-one double-hung windows. All of the bay's windows are wood framed with a narrow projecting sill, a decorative apron and are surrounded by wide back-banded trim. All the windows are original.
Both the front faqade and north side-elevation of the home remain as originally constructed in 1903, however, the rear faqade and south side-elevation were altered, post 1980. The alteration to the rear faqade consists of a wide, narrow addition that projects from the original rear wall plane. This addition has a shed roof with a small, offset gable that slightly projects to shelter a secondary entrance to the rear of the house. Originally there was no rear entry. Acc,ess to the non-original entry rear door is by six (6) wood steps from both the north side and six (6) wood steps from the south side of the rear yard. Both sets of steps lead to a large wood landing that is edged by a wall that extends from the ground to approximately 3 feet above it. This wall and the addition are sheathed in narrow shiplap siding that matches that of the original house. The wooden rear entry door (new) has a single, large horizontally orientated glass pane in the top half and two wood panels in the bottom half It has wide back-banded trim on the sides and a tiered architrave. Adjacent to the rear door, the addition has a pair of small rectangular, horizontally orientated casement windows (not original).
When facing the rear faqade, to the left of the addition is an exterior entrance to the basement. This entry is accessed by a stairwell with seven (7) concrete steps, that lead to a recessed basement door. Trimmed with wide boards, the basement door, which appears to not be original, is wooden with a nine-pane window set into its top half Alteration to the south side-elevation consists of changes made to the original secondary side-entry . The original entry was through a screened-in porch. The original entry door and screened-in porch were removed and today, set into a recessed portion of the house, a pair of wood-framed, glass French doors framed with wide-back-banded trim provide access into the house from a non-original, open, side porch. Extending from the south side-elevation , this polygonal side porch is accessed from the rear by five (5) wooden steps and from the south side by a set four (4) steps. Both sets of steps and the porch are edged with simple wood railings and balusters The lower portion of the porch is sheathed in wide wood siding with an insert of lattice work on its south side.
Other character-defining features of this home include its windows and window trim. While window arrangement in Neoclassical homes tends to be fairly symmetrical on the front, on the side elevations windows of assorted sizes are frequently found. The vertically oriented, double-hung window is the most common window style and a common denominator for all Neoclassical windows is the wide flat trim that frames them.
This home's fenestration on the side and rear elevations of the main body of the house consists of simple, rectangular in form, vertically oriented, one-over-one, double-hung wooden windows and those with a fixed-pane and a squarish appearance. All are framed with wide back-banded trim. They have projecting sills and molded aprons. Not counting the multi-paned window set into end of the porch, the window arrangement on the north side elevation consists of a squared fixed-pane widow followed by a vertically orientated double hung window and then another fixed-pane window. All are original. On the rear faqade, a large vertically orientated double hung window is found in the rear wall plane to the north of the rear addition with a smaller veristically orientated double-hung window located in the home's wall plane to the addition 's south side. These two windows are not original, they are new, wood-framed windows that match the original ones and are placed into the original openings with the original trim. Fenestration of the home's south side-elevation consists of a double hung window with a squarish appearance set evenly between the side porch and the rear of the house. A pair of wood-framed, vertically orientated, one-over-one double hung windows is on the other side of the porch, closer to the front of the house. Like the windows found on the rear faqade, those on the south side-elevation are not original but are new, wood-framed windows that match the original ones and are placed into the original openings with the original trim. Small rectangular horizontally orientated casement windows, both paired and single are found in the basement level. Like the home's main windows, these are also (Continued on page 4, Form 523L)

trimmed with wide back-banded frames. All the basement windows and trim are original.
The original 1903 house has been altered by the post-1980 construction of a rear addition and a new south side-elevation side porch.
However, these ark secondary elevations and the front far;ade and north side-elevation, the most prominent elevations of this house as it is situated on a comer lot, remain as originally constructed. The majority of the original house and its character-defining features can still be identified and the property has been well taken care of and is in very good condition.

Also address integrity.) The parcel located at 1091 Jeffer son Street is a portion of a larger parcel that had originally been identified as Block 1 North, Range V West, of the original survey of the City of Santa Clara. This survey was done July 1866 by J. J. Bowen and recorded on August 22 of that same year. (It is this survey that forms the basis for the part of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad. ") As shown in J. J. Bowen's survey , in 1866 Block 1 North, Range V West (B1 N, R5W) was bordered to the north by Benton , to the west by Jefferson , to the east by Madison and to the south by Franklin Streets. According to the list of property owners and their improvements , which accompanied the survey , this block was an undivided 92415 sq. ft. tract with a frame house. The owner of the tract was shown to be J.
R. Lawrie and the Poll List of the Santa Clara Precinct for the General Election of November 1868, shows the residence of James Robert Lawrie to be located on this block close to the corner of Jefferson and Franklin Streets.
James Robert Lawrie had been born in England in 1827 and arrived in Santa Clara in 1857 with his 18-year-old wife, Eliza. Here he started work at Santa Clara College as a Professor of Music and quickly became a naturalized citizen . The year after the Lawrie 's arrival their first child was bom , a daughter they named Ella, then in 1860 a son, Robert , was born followed in 1862, by another son, Harry. The 1860 Census shows that by then, J. R. Lawrie owned Real Estate valued at $1,000 with a Personal Estate of $500.
According to the 1870 Census , 2 years earlier the Lawrie's had had another daughter, Eliza. James Robert Lawrie had done very well during the preceding decade , had acquired extensive land holdings and he now owned Real Estate worth $9,000 with a $700 Personal (Continued on page 6, Form 523L)

Estate . The family continued to live in the same home , along with a Mary Maloney , their 46-year-o/d cook from Ireland .
When the Plat of Santa Clara was drawn in the period between 1873 and 1875, the block, which had been surveyed nine years earlier, was now shown as divided into two (2) 303 ' x 152.5' vertically orientated lots . J. R. Lawrie maintained ownership of the lot fronting on Madison Street , but by now A. Archer was the owner of the lot, which fronted on Jefferson Street . The latter lot was the property , on which the house at 1091 Jefferson Street would later be constructed .
During the last half of the 1880s , A. Archer sold the lot he had purchased from J. R. Lawrie to J. B. Preston . A native of Scotland , J. B.
Preston had arrived in Santa Clara in 1884 from Canada , with his 28-year-old wife, Mary , and their three children , Anna , Mary and 2- year-old Edward and here his last two children , Catharine and Mabel , were born. Soon after his arrival , J. B. Preston purchased the large parcel of land, which had been owned by James Robert Lawrie, in close proximity to this property . The subject property was still undeveloped and the Preston family moved in a house (1476 Jefferson) on Block 1 North , Range VI West, directly across Jefferson Street from this lot.
As shown on the December 1892, Map of Santa Clara , drawn by C. E. Moore , the City Surveyor, by then Block 1 North , Range V West had been further divided into five (5) lots. The half-block lot sold by J. R. Lawrie to A. Archer, now consisted of two (2) 151. 5' x 100' lots fronting on Jefferson Street , (one shown owned by J.B . Preston and one by Mrs. S. Mcswain) and one small 52.5 ' x 100' lot facing Benton with the remainder of Archer's lot merged into the large 205 ' x 203 ' parcel owned by H. M. Leonard . By now, James Robert Lawrie had moved to San Francisco and a 152. 5' x 100' portion of the half of the block he had kept ownership of two decades ago, which had fronted on Madison Street , was now owned by C. Millikin , the remainder now part of the parcel owned by Leonard.
On November 20, 1890, J. B. Preston had sold the southern (Franklin & Jefferson) half of the lot he had purchased from A. Archer to A.
Mcswain , while he maintained ownership of the northern (Jefferson & Benton) half The following year, on October 21, 1891, J.B .
Preston passed away at home . His estate went into probate and was contested by his wife, Mary , who petitioned for a decree setting apart property located at the corner of Benton and Jefferson as a homestead . The petition was denied . (Note his estate wouldn 't be settled until June 2 1911.) However , the trustee of the estate received permission from the Court to sell the subject parcel and on January 15, 1902, the "Estate of J. B. Preston deceased " sold the subject property "SE part of Benton and Jefferson streets , .. . Santa Clara " to A. Raventos et. al.
Born in Spain in 1867, A. (Antolin) Raventos was the stepson of Antonio Fatjo who owned the Farmers Market and was one of the first merchants in Santa Clara . Thus, he was a member of one of Santa Clara most prominent , early families. In 1877 when he was 9- years-old , Antolin Raventos ' mother , Elisa , had become the second wife of Antonio Fatjo , and Antolin had come to Santa Clara with her and his two sisters , Theresita and Elisa. Theresita later married Antonio Fatjo 's son, John , and when Antolin was grown , he went to work in the grocery store , which was now owned by John and known as John Fatjo & Sons.
When he purchased the subject property in 1902 from the estate of J. B. Preston , Antolin lived with his family across the street in the house he owned at 1415 Benton Street , which was on the NW corner of Benton and Madison Streets. According to the 1901 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map , at that time there were only three (3) houses on the subject block (B1N , R5W) , 1485 Franklin Street , located at the NE corner of Franklin and Jefferson Streets that was owned and occupied by Amelia Mcswain , , 1417 Franklin Street on the NW comer of Franklin and Madison , owned and occupied by Herbert M. Leonard and the house at 1086 Madison St., on the SW comer of Benton and Madison Streets , owned by Catharine Millikin. As the property Antolin Raventos purchased was undeveloped , it appears he purchased the lot as an investment . The following year, on April 25, 1903, Antolin Raventos and his wife, Helen , sold the 100' x 151. 5' lot to Charles W Dibble and his wife , Lorraine .
The marriage of Charles W Dibble to Lorraine V. Rucker two years earlier , in April 1901, had united two prominent families in Santa Clara , who had been among its earliest and most notable settlers.
Born in Santa Clara on November 25, 1872, Charles William Dibble was the fifth child and fourth son of John Hough Dibble and Lucy [Parker] Dibble . Born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1819 and raised in Ohio, where he teamed the tinsmith trade , John H. Dibble , came to California via the Isthmus of Panama in 1854 .and arrived in San Francisco on the Steamer George Law on August 31st. A widowe r, (Continued on page 7, Form 523L)

in San Francisco he met and married Susan Lent the sister of William Lent, a wealthy mining man. By 1856, William Lent had purchased a 94-acre fam in Santa Clara and built the house, later to be known as "New Park," after its purchase by James P. Pierce (the site of today 's Carmelite Monastery) . In April 1857, John and Susan {Lent] Dibble also moved to Santa Clara, where John established a Stov'e and Hardware store with a tin and sheet iron shop on Main Street. On January 29, 1860 Susan passed away and five months later on June 21st, John H. Dibble married Lucy Parker, his third wife.
John H. Dibble quickly become a respected merchant in Santa Clara and purchased several parcels of land in the "downtown " business district (the block between Franklin , Main, Liberty and Jackson Streets) and the entire block between Monroe , Franklin, Madison and Benton Streets in the residential area, where he had his home. Prominently involved in both its civic and political institutions , he was a founding member of the I. 0. 0 . Fin Santa Clara, a member of the Columbian Fire Company and by 1881, had already served seven years on the Town Board of Trustees (1864-1870 and 1873) and five years on the Board of Education.
Four years prior to his death on January 13, 1896, John H. Dibble gave 20-year-old Charles of all of his business properties and his daughter , Julia, the residential lot (by then it was half of the original block), on which the family home was located . It was in his father's original building that had housed his hardware/tin business that Charles had by now established his Bicycle shop. From the time he was young, biking had been a passion for Charles Dibble . In the early 1890s, he was one of the founders , and an officer of, the Santa Clara Bicycle Club and with the other "Whee/men " like Frank Sallows, Emmet McQuoid , G. Lauck, R. Withrow and Widney who were also sons of prominent men, rode to places like Mt. Hamilton and San Mateo, as well as competing in bicycle races . In January 1902, Charles W. Dibble was honored by being elected to the California State Cycle Board of Trade.
Born in Santa Clara on April 15, 1882, Lorraine Verenda Rucker was the daughter of Benjamin W. Rucker, who on January 13, 1855 had also been born in Santa Clara. Originally from Virginia, his parents , William T. and Verenda Rucker had arrived here on October 1, 1852, having traveled overland by wagon train from Missouri with the Campbell, Finley and Lovell families; a trip that took 6 months .
They were led by Benjamin Campbell who took them to his ranch near Santa Clara. (Note: this ranch became Campbell , California.) Their oldest daughte r, Mary, married Benjamin Campbell and William and Verenda moved into Santa Clara, with their remaining seven (7) children, where William T. Rucker was the minister of the Methodist Church South. Following their arrival, William and Verenda Rucker had two children born in Santa Clara, with Lorraine 's father, Benjamin , being the Rucker's final child. The Rucker family lived on Washington Street, near Market St., and it was here their house, stable and the Methodist Church South chapel were located . (Due to circumstances following the death of Abraham Lincoln, the chapel was moved closer to Ben Campbell 's ranch.) William T. Rucker also purchased 240 acres near Benjamin Campbell 's ranch and became a wealthy farmer. Located in Redwood Township, near where Los Gatos was founded , when not living in Santa Clara, he and his family spent time here. Part of this property would later be inherited by Lorraine V. {Rucker] Dibble and it was here the Charles and Lorraine Dibble 's country home, "Fem Hill" was located .)
At the time of Lorraine V. Rucker's birth in 1882, William T. Rucker had passed away, and her father, Benjamin , was living in the family house with his widowed mother , Verenda, his sister, Margaret, his wife, Fannie, and their 5-year-old son, Walter. Following the death of his mother, Verenda, Benjamin sold the family property in Santa Clara and moved to the community of College Park on the outskirts of the Township, with his wife, Sarah, their son, Walter, Lorraine, and her two young brothers, Newton and Charles . It was here Lorraine V. Rucker was living when she married Charles Dibble in April 1901.
Since their marriage Charles and Lorraine had been living with his sister, Julia Dibble, in the Dibble Family home at 1331 Franklin Street. However , by the end of 1903, a house had been constructed on the lot he had purchased that April and 31-year-old Charles W.
Dibble and his 21-year-old wife, Lorraine V. {Rucker] Dibble, had moved into their new residence at 1091 Jefferson Street.
An important Santa Clara businessman , Charles Dibble was member of the Santa Clara Union Club and Chamber of Commerce, serving on the Board of Directors for both, and thus had many business friends besides the friends who shared his interest in biking.
Both Charles and Lorraine Dibble also had many friends among the socially prominent young Santa Clara set. These friends they frequently entertained , but rarely in their small home on Jefferson Street. For most of their social affairs, which usually involved 10 or more, they either used a rental space , such as the rooms on the upper floor of the Franck Building or held them at their "country home, (Continued on page 8, Form 523L)

Fern Hill." In fact, Fern Hill, on Overlook Road in Los Gatos, was where they hosted their 1 (Jh Anniversary pa,ty. Also, Fern Hill was where they held large paJties, such as when the Charles and Lorraine invited a number of friends to meet the State Officials, which included a member of the State Board of Control and the Secretary of the State Highway Commission, who were spending the weekend in Santa Clara.
However , as Charles Dibble 's passion for bicycles had led to involvement in issues involving transpo,tation and the environment , he had acquired a wide range of non-Santa Clara friends and during the years he and Lorraine lived in their Jefferson Street home at times they did have impoJtant guests in their home. For example , when the Director of the Sierra Club of San Francisco was in route between his home in Los Angeles and San Francisco , he stopped in Santa Clara and spent the night here visiting with the Dibbles .
In 1921, Charles W. Dibble sold the prope,ty at 1091 Jefferson Street to James S. Parker, a man he knew very well, as the oldest brother of James ' wife Minnie, Frank Sallows, was also a member and an officer (Treasurer) of the "Whee/men," the Santa Clara Bicycle Club, and had been a very close friend of Charles for over 30 years . In fact, Charles and Lorraine Dibble had manied the same year as James and Minnie Parker . Charles and Lorraine then moved into a residential unit in the building that housed his Bicycle Shop at 9641966 Main Street. Throughout the 1920s, Charles and Lorraine [Rucker] Dibble would live at 966 Main and at "Fem Hill" in Los Gatos. (He was living at Fern Hill when he passed away on May 16, 1933.) James S. Parker, the second owner of 1091 Jefferson Street, was also a member of a Santa Clara family, prominently identified with the early history of the area . He was born in Santa Clara to James Selby and Ma,tha H. Parker. In 1857 his father and mother had arrived in Santa Clara, following a journey across the plains from Missouri by ox team, during which they were married . Here, John Selby Parker established a 78-acre grain and hay farm in the Jefferson Precinct of Santa Clara. His farm encompassed what is today, the land lying west of Scott Blvd. between Central and San Tomas Expressways . Near the Scott farm, the Parker farm was in the area where the Kifer, the Coffin (Coffin Road became Bowers/Great American Parkway) , the Montague , the Bracher and Wilcox farms were located .
James Selby and MaJtha Parker had nine children , four sons and five daughters , and born on August 187 4, James S. was their 8th child and youngest son. When his father passed away in 1894, only 5 children still remained living at home, three sons and two daughters .
The other girls had married , i.e., the oldest, Harriet, was married to the son of William Kifer, and one brother had left farming . However, 20-year-old James , his 36-year-old brother William and 31-year-old , brother Stonewall J. continued living at home running the farm for their widowed mother.
By the turn of the 20th Century , while agriculture and agricultural products remained the driving force of the valley economy, no longer were the large, grain farms in existence. Most of the children of the original settlers had left farming and the original farms had been divided into smaller land-holdings planted with orchards that grew fruit for the canneries and packing houses . By 1910, Stonewall J.
Parker had moved to San Jose and William was no longer working as a farmer, he had become a salesman and was living with his widowed mother MaJtha in a separate house on a parcel of the Parker Farm. Only James S. Parker was still farming what was left of the original Parker farm, on what was now called Scotts Lane, and living there with his wife, Minnie , and their 3 children, Glenn, age 7, Velma, 6, and 1-year-old Loren.
In 1901 James S. Parker had married Minnie Sallows. At the time of their marriage , the Parker and Sallows families already had a long connection , both in farming and by marriage , as Minnie 's brother, AJthur, was already married to James 's sister, Josephine . Minnie 's father, John Sallows, was also an early farmer, who became well-known in Santa Clara. He had immigrated from England in 1858 and settled in Santa Clara in 1864. Before coming to American John Sallows had had an eventful career, having served in the Crimean War and been given a Baltic Meal by Queen Victoria for valiant service. After settling in Santa Clara, he became a well-known orchardist and worked on his farm. In the late1880s , along with farming he began making investments in the purchase of land in town.
At this time, many town-lots were being re-developed and new subdivisions platted in order to accommodate the rise in population When the Villa Tract, between Lincoln , University , Market and Bellomy Streets was platted in 1889, John Sallows purchased several lots and also a 58,512 sq. ft. parcel in the block to the west, between University and Saratoga Avenue . He later had a large residence built on the latter (1891 Bellomy Street), into which he moved with his family when he retired in 1902. He was living here when he passed away in 1911.

In November 1919, Martha H. Parker, "a well-known pioneer resident of Santa Clara," passed away and of her 7 remaining children, only James S. Parker was still living on the farm, and working as a farmer. Following the division of her estate among the surviving Parker children, in 1921 46-year-old James S. moved with his family into the house at 1091 Jefferson Street, which he had purchased from Charles Dibble. James S. Parker then went to work as the Supervisor of W.W. Montague 's. 384-acre Riverside Farm and the Parker's oldest son, Glenn, gained employment as a delivery boy in his uncle Frank Sallows' mercantile establishment , Sallows & Rhodes, a well-respected grocery store in downtown Santa Clara.
In 1931, James S. Parker retired from any involvement in agriculture and established a large trucking company. During the following decades, both of his sons, Glenn and Loren, would be employed in the family business. It is interesting to note that as a young man, Loren Parker had developed a passion for motorcycles and made headlines, when in 1930 he competed in a 300-mile motorcycle race from San Francisco , along the coast to Santa Cruz then over the mountain to San Jose, over Mount Hamilton to Livermore and then finishing up back where they started.
By 1940, Velma had been married for 16 years and Glenn was living in San Jose. Only Loren Parker and his parents remained in Santa Clara. Since his marriage in 1931, Loren had lived with his wife, Leona, in a home at 520 University Street on land once owned by his grandfather, Frank Sallows and James S. and Minnie Parker still lived in the family home at 1091 Jefferson Street. However, Minnie [Sallows] Parker died in December 1942 and around the same time James developed serious medical issues. On November 27, 1946, "fife-long Santa Clara resident and prominent rancher," James S. Parker passed away. Sadly, Velma [Parker] McKinstry had passed away in 1943, thus Glenn and Loren Parker inherited the property at 1091 Jefferson Street. By the end of the following year, they had sold the home to Thomas F. O'Leary, a carpenter , and his wife, Kathleen, who then moved into it. The O'Leary 's would continue to live here for the next 30 years .
Following Thomas O'Leary 's retirement in 1970, he and his wife, Kathleen, continued to live here until around 1980, when the subject residence at 1091 Jefferson Street was sold to Mark and Pamela Meder. In 2009, the Meders sold it to Robin Stamps, who then rented the home to her daughter , Kathryn , and son-in-law , Christopher Miller. Kathryn and Christopher Miller were still Jiving here when, on September 2, 2020 Robin Stamps sold 1091 Jefferson Street to them.
Historic Evaluation
In order to be considered historically or culturally significant , a property must satisfy certain requirements . It must be 50 years old or older (except in cases of exceptional significance); it must retain historic integrity ; it must meet one or more of the National Register of Historic Places criteria for significance , and/or the California Register of Historic Resources criteria for significance , and/or the criteria for listing in a local historic resource inventory .
Age Requirement.
Constructed in 1903, the subject residence at 1091 Jefferson Street is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement .
Integrity Requirement.
Integrity refers to a property's ability to convey its significance. Significance is conveyed by the retention of a resource's visual and physical characteristics and its surroundings . The National Register of Historic Places criteria recognize seven aspects to integrity .
These are location , design , setting , materials , workmanship , feeling and association. To retain historic integrity , a property will always possess several and usually most of these aspects . Both the California Register of Historic Resources and the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance follow the National Register integrity criteria.
While the architectural integrity of the original structure has been slightly diminished by alterations made in the 1980s, the majority of the visual and character defining features of the historic building have been preserved and retained . The residence at 1091 Jefferson Street retains its original location and the property is well maintained . The historical use of the building has not changed and it remains (Continued on page 10, Form 523L)

family home. The subject property is set within a historic residential setting in the area of Santa Clara known as the "Old Quad," and, while a portion of the block in which it is located has been compromised by new development, the immediate streetscape that surrounds it retains many qualities that reflect the period in which the house was constructed.
I
The subject property retains enough of its historic character and appearance to be recognizable as a historic property and to convey the reason for its significance (integrity).
National Register of Historic Places Criteria.
There are not any events associated with the residence at 1091 Jefferson Street which have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history or cultural heritage. It would therefore appear that the building would not be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on Criterion A (associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history). The building has had six owners over the 119 years of its existence and none appear to reach the level of significant influence required under Criterion B to be considered eligible for the National Register. Neither do any of the occupants appear to be significant to the history of the region, Nation or State of California. It would therefore appear that the building at 1091 Jefferson Street would not be eligible for the National Register based on Criterion B (associated with the lives of persons significant in our past). Although slightly remodeled 30+ years ago, the majority of the character-defining features of its original 1903 construction in the Neoclassical cottage subtypes of the Neoclassical architectural style remain, such as its squared plan, hipped roof with front facing dormer, recessed front porch and slanted bay window, and its narrow horizontal wood siding and thus, under National Register Criterion C the residence at 1091 Jefferson Street could be considered to "embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction " and "represent[s] a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction" and due to its proximity to other historically significant homes in the area, it does contribute to a potentially eligible Historic District. Therefore, it does appear that the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C.
California Register of Historic Resources Criteria
The Criteria for listing in the California Register of Historical Places are consistent with those for listing in the National Register.
However, they have been modified to better reflect the history of California at both a local and State level. Criterion 1 is the California Register equivalent of the National Register Criterion A (events) and California Register Criterion 2, the equivalent of National Register Criterion B (persons). The property at 1091 Jefferson Street is associated with the arrival and settlement of three (3) pioneer families who arrived in the 1850s and one (1) family who arrived in the early 1860s, all of whom made significant contributions to the agricultural and economic growth of the City of Santa Clara. Thus, it is associated with the Jives of persons important to local history and does appear to be eligible for the California Register based on Criterion 1 and Criterion 2. Criterion 3 addresses the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction. Originally constructed in 1903 in the Neoclassical cottage subtype of the Neoclassical architectural style, which is associated with the period of 1910-1920, the subject home is characterized by being a one-story home with a hipped roof and front facing hipped roof dormer, along with a colonnaded partial-width porch included under the main roof, a squared plan, boxed eaves, narrow horizontal wood sheathing and rectangular, double-hung windows with wide flat trim.
Although the property has been slightly altered, the majority of the character-defining features of its original 1903 construction remain.
Therefore, it does appear to reach the level of significance necessary to be individually eligible for the California Register under Criterion 3.
City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance
In 2004, The City of Santa Clara adopted Criteria for Local Significance. Under these criteria, "any building , site, or property in the city that is 50 years old or older and meets certain criteria of architectural , cultural , historical , geographical or archaeological significance is potentially eligible ," to be a "Qualified Historic Resource ." The evaluator finds that the property meets the following criteria:

Criteria for Historically or Cultural Significance:
To be Historically or culturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. The site, building or property has character , interest, integrity and reflects the heritage and cultural development of the city, region, state or nation.
Due to its association with people who had been born and raised in Santa Clara and were the offspring of earlier prominent settlers, this property does have a direct association with the broad patterns of Santa Clara history. The building has interest, integrity and character and reflects the growth of this area in the first part of the 20th Century and the type of homes built in Santa Clara for the children of earlier Santa Clara residents.
3. The property is associated with an important individual or group, who contributed in a significant way to the political, social, and/or cultural life of the community .
This property is associated with four highly important, well-known, early pioneer families, Dibble, Rucker and Parker, who settled here in the 1850s and Sallows, who arrived in the early1860s. Both John Dibble and John Sallows became members of the Town Board of Trustees and they and their children, including members of the Rucker and Parker families, played an important role in the social, cultural life and economic life of the community. The first and second owners of this residence were their sons, Charles W Dibble and James S. Parker, who themselves were also prominent individuals in Santa Clara.
5. A building's direct association with broad patterns of local area history , including development and settlement patterns, early or important transportation routes or social, political, or economic trends and activities .
As the larger Town blocks were subdivided into smaller lots at the turn of the 2Qlh Century, this area was primarily settled by people whose employment was in Santa Clara's "downtown" business district. This home at 1091 Jefferson was constructed in 1903 for Charles Dibble, a prominent "downtown " business owner, who for decades contributed to the economic life of community. Its second owner, James S. Parker, was a leading Santa Clara agriculturist who moved into town in the second decade of the 2Qlh Century, the time when the original large agricultural parcels were being divided into smaller holdings. While living here, he retired from ranching and established a large trucking company.
The subject property does meet Criteria 1, 3 and 5 for Historically or Cultural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance . However , it does not meet Criteria 2 or 4 for Historically or Cultural Significance.
Criteria for Architectural Significance:
To be architecturally significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. The property characterizes an architectural style associated with a particular era and/or ethnic group.
The residence at 1091 Jefferson Street was originally designed and constructed in 1903 in the eclectic architectural style termed Neoclassical . The one-story version, which usually had a hipped roof and prominent central dormer, along with a colonnaded partial width porch included under the main roof, is classified as belonging to the Neoclassical cottage subtype and is associated with the period from 1900 to 1920. A simple style, these homes proved the ideal form of construction to meet the escalating need for housing in the first part of the 2Qlh Century. Dwellings of this architectural style, also had a squared plan, boxed eaves, narrow horizontal wood sheathing and rectangular, double-hung windows with wide flat trim, all features of this property. Although slightly altered in the rear and on the south side-elevation , the majority of this architectural style's character-defining features remain that today the subject building still reflects its original architectural style.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 for Architectural Significance of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance.
However , it does not meet Criteria for Architectural Significance 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. (Continued on page 12, Form 523L)

Criteria for Geographic Significance:
To be geographically significant a property must meet at least one of the following criteria:
No.1. A neighborhood , group or unique area directly associated with broad patterns of local area history.
The subject property is located in the area of the Old Quad where the larger lots underwent subdivision to accommodate the extensive development that Santa Clara experienced in the first decades of the twentieth century, due to the growth and expansion of manufacturing and agricultural industries . These historic residential properties contribute to the historic setting that reflects the neighborhood's role in the broad patterns of Santa Clara's early development.
No. 2. A building's continuity and compatibility with adjacent buildings and/or visual contribution to a group of similar buildings.
Constructed in 1903 as a Neoclassical cottage, this house remains as an example of the smaller homes built in Santa Clara in the early twentieth century . It is representative of the development of this area of the Old Quad during the early 2Qlh century and is important to the integrity of the historic area in which it is located . Within a 15-year period , most of the homes on this block were constructed . This accounts for the continuity of the building styles in the neighborhood. Currently, all of the homes on the 1400 Benton Street block face (1450 & 1470), two on the 1000 Madison Street block face (1080 &1086) and one on the Jefferson Street block face (1045) are listed on, on the City of Santa Clears list of Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties.
The subject property does meet Criterion 1 and 2 for Geographic Significance , of the City of Santa Clara Criteria for Local Significance .
However, it does not meet Criteria for Geographic Significance 3 or 4.
Criteria for Archaeological Significance:
As the property at 1091 Jefferson Street contains no known or unknown prehistoric or historic archaeological resources , it would not be Archaeologically Significant under any of the five of the City of Santa Clara's Criteria for Archaeological Resources . However , should any prehistoric or historic archaeological resources be uncovered in the future , this would be subject to change .
Conclusions and Recommendations
Currently , this property is not on The City of Santa Clara Architecturally or Historically Significant Properties list. However, the property is over 50 years old and thus meets the age requirement and the evaluator finds 1091 Jefferson Street to retain sufficient integrity to qualify as a historic property . It appears to be, based on compliance with the National Register of Historic Places Criteria, the California Register of Historic Resources Criteria and the City of Santa Clara's Local Significance Criteria , a "Qualified Historic Resource," eligible for listing on the City of Santa Clara Architecturally and/or Historically Significant Properties List.

Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
