Public Comments: James Bryant, Board of Directors for the Alliance of Monterey Area Preservationists, made reference to a letter he submitted at the meeting. Mr. Bryant noted that the Context Statement does not reference the history of the artists’ culture in Monterey. He also inquired about whether Colton Hall is listed on the National Register. Ms. Hopper and Mr. Davis responded stating that Colton Hall is not currently on the National Historic Preservation Commission Draft Minutes Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Register, but that it listed as a contributor to the NHLD, which provides a greater level of protection than a register listing. Mr. Bryant suggested the City pursue an application to have Colton Hall added to the National Register. John Burk, concurred with Mr. Bryant regarding the lack of a reference in the report to the artistic influence in Monterey’s historic architecture. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Castagna said the history is well written and suggested adding the document to the City's website to provide the public with more information. Commissioner Hodgin concurred. Vice Chair Petty complimented the descriptions in the report and acknowledged acceptance of the report. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS INFORMATIONAL REPORTS & STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Hopper informed the Commission that she attended the California Preservation Foundation Workshop on Drafting Preservation Ordinances. She said there were several key speakers that provided valuable information, and also informed the Commission of the upcoming workshop in Monterey. Ms. Caraker asked that Commissioners interested in attending the workshop email her for available free passes and referred the Commission to the flyer provided for more information about the workshop. Ms. Caraker announced that Commissioner Swett has resigned as an Historic Preservation Commissioner and asked the Commission how they would like to celebrate Commissioner Swett's service.
