Commissioner Comments
The Commission commented on a seminar multiple commissioners attended hosted by the
California Preservation Foundation.
Planning Manager Hill let the Commission know that Staff attended the seminar, had related
materials such as a recording of the seminar, and how to access those materials.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:
The Commission commented that there was a lack of adequate communication and information
given to the Historic Preservation Commission on the suspension of the Mills Act. The
Commission had questions regarding the fees, the equity analysis, and new contracts for the
Mills Act to which Hill responded.
The Commission then asked for details and background on the equity analysis to which Hill

The Commission asked about enforcement of the Mills Act with the impression that
homeowners may not be keeping up with the necessary maintenance. Hill answered and let
the Commission know the analysis will help with future guidance.
