Commissioner Brassfield asked how many Mills Act sites currently existed within Monterey and Mr. Schmidt replied that there were currently 54 Mills Act properties within the City. Commissioner Brassfield asked if an inventory of Mills Act properties existed and how people could learn more about them. Ms. Cole said that a basic inventory existed.
