Kivley, Assistant to the City Manager A Subject: Certification Agreement with the State of Califo Office of toric Preservation, Department of Parks and Recreation Date: July 7, 1999 BACKGROUND In February 1998, the City of Colton submitted an application for certification as a Certified Local Government in California. In November 1998, members of the Historic Preservation Commission inquired as to the status of the application. Inquiries were subsequently initiated with staff at the State Office of Historic Preservation to determine the status. It was determined there were three unmet requirements: (1) Separate the delegation of responsibilities for historic preservation from community development duties; (2) Include the information allowing designation of historic districts; and (3) Provide a statement iterating the fact "the current membership of the Commission includes the most qualified individuals to the extent available in the community". Based on the three unmet requirements, on March 2, 1999, the City Council adopted two revised Municipal Codes sections 15.40.030, Definitions and 15.40.080, Nomination and designation program for historic resources. Additionally, on May 6, 1999, the transmittal letter to the Office of Historic Preservation included, among other documents, the necessary statement regarding the Commission membership.

The Certification Agreement completes the necessary paperwork for CLG status. The agreement remains in effect until the participant (City of Colton) requests or the State Historic Preservation Officer decertifies the CLG. FINANCIAL IMPACT Other than filing the appropriate papers with review by the affect departments, there are presently no fees associated with this certification.
