Mr. Schmidt clarified that Agenda reports can be found online, in the Planning Office, and by request. Commissioner Hambaro suggested having a specific link to Mills Act homes and would like to see more information and what deems a home historic or not. Commissioner Hambaro expressed hope that the Historic Reconnaissance Survey could be updated. Chair Smith-Crivello said that any home deemed historic or not has a list of criteria which can be found online or in the library. Commissioner O’Neil added that the City search engines are not particularly user friendly and suggested having a place on the website that is linked to historic homes. Mr. Schmidt explained that there are some homes that were not included on the Historic Reconnaissance Survey, but overall Historians do a good job determining which homes should be included. Mr. Schmidt added that there is a public GIS system and there is a link to the surveys for sites that have had them prepared. Commissioner Dawson suggested a spread sheet with links to surveys. Chair Smith-Crivello commended the Old Town Neighborhood Association for creating a walking path, identifying Mills Act homes. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS & STAFF COMMENTS  Update received.
