:Ls assumed to have occured, in that the plarn~ers were not aware of the landmark
designations. The tlistoric Preservation Commission and the City Council were r~.-
quired to have given prior approval, as they did before relocation of the Charley/
(;arcia house, and alteration of the Garret Ninerv.
'Fhere's no excuse this time, and there won't be an excuse if there is ever a next
't ime.
Where do we go from here? ~) Monetary fine against the developer to the maximum
permitted by law. Said fine to be made available to the Historic Preservation Comis-
sion for the furtherance of its mandated objectives. 2) Should the landmarks be
beyond saving due to the extent of thei~ damage~ that specimen palms he planted
the areas intended for the original trees. Planting of specimen trees will further
the theme of palms currer~tl.y in the immediate area~ and put the development
:3ity on notice that the city really does take such things seriously.
The palms are dying. If tlmy can be saved, immediate action is rmcessary. Therefore
I am requesting agenda time for tt~is cornruing Xednesday, September 2, 1985, to discuss
the issue and to hear Counci]'s direction i~ regard to such flagrant disregard
its policy.

Dear Mayor Mikels:
The challenge I wish to share with you is the future role
of the San Bernardino County Museum. And in that regard, I am
most pleased that you have indicated an interest to help establish
directions for the Museum, in particular its financial stability,
collections, and preservation, and education role in our County
wide community. As you may be aware, one of my top priorities
since joining the Museum has been the establishment of a Museum
Foundation and a broadly based Long Range Planning Committee.
Without support groups of this kind actively seeking to promote
and contribute to a museum's growth, the vitality and significance
of public institutions at this stage in our country's history is
in serious jeopardy. I sincerely hope each of you, before our
October 12th retreat, will give serious and creative thought to the
future of our Museum. In particular, consider the importance and
promotion of history, science, and culture, and the Museum's role
in contributing to the understanding and enlightenment that can be
gained from each.
As the Planning Committee prepares for the coming events we
have been very encouraged by the response to our request for
involvement and commitment. At the present time we expect nearly 75
people to attend the retreat which will be held in the new County
Government Center on Arrowhead in San Bernardino. The event will
begin at 8:30 a.m. with coffee and rolls, the first session commences
at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chamber, and we should conclude by 4:00
p.m. Lunch will be served to all participants in the restaurant on
the ground floor. Please fill out the form at the end of this letter
so that we will be better able to make the necessary arrangements for
food and meeting space.
To give us a chance to meet each other beforehand and gain a
better understanding of the Museum's current status, space, collec-
tions, and staff, we are also inviting you and your family to an
Open House at the Museum on September 28th, between 7:30 p.m. and
9:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and a brief gathering to
outline events and make introductions will occur at 8:00 p.m.
I cannot overstate how important I consider these issues to be,
and most sincerely express my appreciation to you for responding to

Retreat
the criticalness of this issue, as well as for your willingness to
become involved in meeting the challenges and opportunities that are
ahead. I look forward with great anEicipation to seeing you all.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 23, 1985
1977
To: City Council and City Manager J'or~
From: Bill Holley, Community Services Dm~ect
Subject: HISTORIC PRESERVATION "SURVEY" INFORMATION ONLY-NO ACTION
REQUIRED
This memorandum is a follow up to the Council discussion of September 18
where Council solicited from the Historic Preservation Commission their
recommendation on a work program aimed at producing a proper documentation
of the City's Landmarks and Points of Interest.
The following morning, we spoke with Don Napoli, Historian, State of
California Department of Historic Preservation in an effort to gather as
much information as possible, including grant information, for aiding the
Commission in formulating their recommendation to you. Tbst information
will arrive here next week.
Mr. Napoli is very familiar with the community historic resource survey
process. His comments were very helpful and enlightening. We thought we
would share a portion of them with you.
The process the City is currently following, according to Mr. Napoli, is
the proper procedure to conduct ~ historic survey, which is nothing more
than a listing of historical resources.
Mr. Napoli says it is common for 'lay' people who make up most historic
commission and societies to misidentify what they really want to do...that
is, they think they want to do ~ survey (which in most cases they are
already doing) when in fact what they really want is to accelerate the
survey process into a very concentrated time period.
For instance, Rancho's commission was formed as a "working" commission in
April of 1979.
One of the first task they addressed was to create a 'Tentative Inventory'
of potential historical landmarks. (This was the list of 160 items you
received at the Council meeting the other evening). Since that time the
'Tentative Inventory' list has been worked by the Commission at their own
pace researching, reviewing and recommending designations to Council when
they felt it appropriate
Mr. Napoli says this is the proper method to be followed. The only
drawback that faces us (and the same drawback is initially common to
everyone who undertakes such a survey) is that it is a slow process.
Page 2
Historic Preservation Survey
September 23, 1985
Mr. Napoli says the advantage of running an accelerated survey is simply
that you get the bulk of the work over and done with without over taxing
your volunteer resources. From that point on it is more of a 'maintenance'
type operation.
He did say that based on his experience, he would suggest not using an
outside consultant or coordinator to oversee the volunteer force assembled
to gather the survey data. They would likely have no proprietary interest
in our city, and be unfamiliar with the area. Napoli believes we would do
better to have the coordination of an accelerated program be someone
locally who has a vested interest in seeing our program completed properly.
Staff Comments:
This will be a rather interesting process.
While the Council was extremely clear on Wednesday night that no specific
amount had been allocated and more information was needed as to what the
Commission was requesting in way of a project. ..two Commissioners called
the next morning asking if they could serve on the interview board to hire
the 'new historic coordinator'. Also, it was asked 'how much money would
each commissioner get' to spend on their section of research.
We will keep you posted as developments occur.
