ORO VALLEY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
11000 N. LA CANADA DRIVE
I. Call to Order: at or after 5:00 p.m.
II. Roll Call.
PRESENT: Chair Bob Baughman
Vice Chair Dan Zwiener
Commissioner Pat Spoerl
Commissioner Patrick Foley
Commissioner Valerie Pullara
Commissioner Lois Nagy
Also present:
Salette Latas, Council Member
Bill Adler, Planning & Zoning Commissioner
Scott Nelson, Special Projects Coordinator
Diane Chapman, Senior Office Specialist
III. Call to the Audience. Opened and closed with no speakers.
IV. Approval of August 11, 2008, minutes.
Chair Baughman stated that in reviewing the minutes, the description of Mr. Garrison's
presentation needed some clarification. He would like to defer approval of the minutes
to the next meeting. Commissioner Spoerl will work with Ms. Chapman on wording.
MOTION: Vice Chair Zwiener MOVED to delay approval of the August 11, 2008,
minutes to the next meeting. Commissioner Pullara seconded the motion.
Motion carried, 6:0.
V. Discussion and possible action regarding the Oro Valley Historical Society
presentation for a historical garden at Steam Pump Ranch.
Commissioner Spoerl said the Steam Pump Master Plan outlined a pre-opening phase
to last from 2009 to 2012, which includes limited public access to the site for guided
tours and other specific activities. One activity is a historic garden project proposed by
the Oro Valley Historical Society (OVHS). Commissioner Spoerl introduced Joyce
Rychener, who developed the idea and who is a member of the OVHS on the Education
Committee. The board has approved the proposal that Ms. Rychener developed and it
has been reviewed on the grounds several times with Scott Nelson. We are in the
process of attempting to secure funding for materials and soil preparation for the historic
gardens. They have met with Karn Boyce with the Water Utility Department about grant
September 8, 2008 Approved Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes
possibilities for water conservation and harvesting. The Town and the Commission
have not yet developed specific review and approval procedures related to Steam Pump
Ranch. The purpose of this evening's presentation is for information and to receive
comments.
Ms. Rychener said in order to get public interest in this project, suggested the idea of
starting historic gardens. They are proposing to create gardens from the Arizona
territorial period, 1834-1912, using researched plot plans and heirloom seeds typical of
that period, and also to recreate demonstration gardens similar to those of Native
American tribes of the Steam Pump Ranch vicinity.
Ms. Rychener showed slides of proposed garden locations. The gardens would provide
a place for students to come and learn about planting heirloom seeds, transplanting,
water harvesting and other related items. The garden would have a 30 x 60 foot chain
link and steel post fence possibly with mesquite branches woven in the chain link. Gates
would be willow arch gates. The garden would be seasonal.
Steps to begin: conduct soil analysis and correct any deficiencies, turn soil, add
compost, mark out plots, install drip or other irrigation, construct rainwater harvesting
system, and plant appropriate researched heirloom seeds. That would be followed
by maintaining the garden, educating the community, distributing the harvest, and
repeating the process in spring, summer and fall. A core of volunteers will help maintain
the gardens.
Estimated cost: $3,000 for each garden.
List of possible resources: Native Seed Search, AZ Sonoran Desert Museum, Arbico
Organics, Tohono Chul Park, AZ Historical Society, AZ State Museum, San Xavier
Cooperative Farms, Father Kino Tree Project, AAA Landscaping, Tucson Audubon
Society, and Seed Savers Exchange
Questions and comments:
- What about signage?
Response: It will be well signed and educational.
- Drip irrigation seems inappropriate for the time frame.
Response: Drip from harvested water may be the only practical way to water.
- Could fencing be more appropriate for the time period?
Response: May weave mesquite or willow branches in to make it look more authentic.
They will need something to keep the animals out. They are still researching fences.
- If too many modern things are used, you are only growing heirloom produce; it is not
really historical.
- One of the challenges planning this is historically there is very little information.
- Steam pump may have been used to help with irrigation.
- Find out when cellar was built. It may have been used to store seeds.
- Do a program for saving heirloom seeds and keeping them pure.
- Signage should be self-educating.
- Consider temporary fences that can go up at night and down during the day.

September 8, 2008 Approved Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes
Mr. Nelson said there are still safety issues at the ranch. A temporary way of protecting
the gardens needs to be considered if this starts soon.
Vice Chair Zwiener voiced that he would like to continue working with Ms. Rychener on
this project.
Mr. Nelson asked if the Commission was endorsing the gardens.
Chair Baughman said the purpose of this is for information. There is a lot of research
and decisions that need to be made before this begins.
Commissioner Spoerl said the intent in developing this was to have a means for people
to see Steam Pump Ranch in the next year or two before the official opening, once the
Town considers it safe. The Master Plan does reference a garden and includes a large
area for crops. Purpose now is to get started so small groups of children can come out.
They would like to start with a spring garden, so the work would have to start in the next
couple of months. This should not have an impact on our nomination to the National
Registrar.
Commissioner Latas said she would have to defer to the legal council, but did not
perceive any objections to this. This has always been an anticipated use to the
property. HPC has no authority now, but endorsement may be okay.
Mr. Nelson agreed there was little or no harm in endorsing. Before the next meeting we
can research and see if it needs to go to Council.
Break from 5:55 to 6:05 p.m.
VI. Discussion and possible action regarding Steam Pump Ranch.
HPC decided at the last meeting to consider Steam Pump Ranch for the Centennial
project.
Commissioner Nagy volunteered to give a presentation of whether SPR would fit in the
criteria for the Centennial project.
Mr. Nelson reported that the fireplace and chimney on the second floor collapsed in the
last storm. Emergency stabilization has been completed and the walls protected.
Rainwater has been channeled away from that wall. This will qualify for emergency
stabilization funds from the 2004 bonds. The structural engineer and consultant have
been out to the Ranch. Next week will work to put together the construction docs which
SHPO will need to review prior to repairing the wall. There is around $90,000 bond
funding left.
VII. Discussion and possible action regarding HPC Work Plan.
a. CLG Application
Mr. Nelson reported there has not been any correspondence from Mr. Garrison
regarding the CLG application since he was at the last HPC meeting.
3
September 8, 2008 Approved Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes
Vice Chair Zwiener recommended staff contact Mr. Garrison on this item.
Commissioner Spoerl suggested not making contact yet as it has not been 30
days.
b. Cultural Resource Inventory Plan - Commissioners Spoerl and Nagy
Mr. Nelson said we are at the point of putting together an RFP to see what firm might be
able to conduct a survey for the Town. He will check with SHPO to see if they already
have a form to use and will keep Commissioners Spoerl and Nagy information of his
progress.
c. Budget - Chair Baughman and Vice Chair Zwiener
d. Community Outreach - Commissioner Pullara
Commissioner Pullara will look at how to develop ways the Commission can become
better known to the community.
e. Process Plan for Historic Designation - Chair Baughman
f. Role of the HPC
Salette Latas, Council Member, worked on this when she was on the HPC. There is a
section in the ordinance regarding this and it is evolving all the time.
MOTION: Commissioner Nagy MOVED to remove the role of the Historic
Preservation Commission from the work plan. Commissioner Spoerl seconded
the motion. Motion carried, 6:0.
g. Training
Commissioner Foley volunteered to work with Mr. Nelson to identify training
opportunities and scheduling.
h. Santa Cruz Heritage Alliance
Commissioner Latas has indicated a willingness to continue as a liaison, and a member
of the Commission should also be in that capacity. Commissioner Pullara volunteered to
work with the Santa Cruz Heritage Alliance.
MOTION: Commissioner Foley MOVED to approve Commissioner Pullara as the
government liaison to the Santa Cruz Heritage Alliance. Commissioner Nagy
seconded the motion. Motion carried, 6:0.
VIII. Discussion and possible action regarding National Alliance of Historic
Commissions.

September 8, 2008 Approved Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes

IX. Announcements.
There were no announcements.
X. Items for future agendas.
- Implementation of Honey Bee Village Preserve Concept Plan.

RULES
PREAMBLE
The Historic Preservation Commission was created by the Town Council "top romote the

preservation of historic buildings, districts, landmarks, structures, documents, photographs and
other artifacts that represent the historic background and development of the greater Oro Valley
area." (Oro Valley Town Code, Section 6-10-1(C)). To that end, these rules are enacted to ensure
the orderly conduct of the Commission's business and to provide guidance to the Commission in
carrying out its mission. Although one of many volunteer boards and commissions of the Town,
the Historic Preservation Commission is unique in that its charge involves the safeguarding of
g g
the Town's cultural and historical identity, which may be accomplished only through close
cooperation with applicants coming before the commission. Due to the need for such
cooperation, the following rules may differ in some respects from other boards and commissions
to provide the Commission greater flexibility in accomplishing its goal.
1. ORGANIZATION

2. The Commissioner dies;
3. The Commissioner is judicially determined to be incompetent;
4. The Commissioner is convicted of a felony; or
5. The Commissioner is no longer an Oro Valley resident.
B. If a Commissioner misses three regular or special meetings in any 12-monthp eriod the
Commission Secretary shall send a letter to the Commissioner inquiring about the reasons for
the absences and the Commissioner's ability to attend future meetings. The Commissioner's
response will be distributed to the other Commissioners. If the response received is indicative
of a continuation of frequent absences or no response is received within 30 days after the date of
the mailing, and after the affirmative vote of five Commissioners at a regular or special meeting,
g,
the Commission may recommend to the Town Council that the Commissioner'sp osition be
declared vacant and that a new person be appointed to complete the term.

4. A Commissioner shows public disrespect to applicants, citizens, staff, or other
Commissioners; or
5. A Commissioner otherwise impairs the quality of the decision-making or diminishes the
integrity of the Commission.

Dear Centennial Colleague:
Arizona's Statehood Centennial commemoration is only five years away. This year two events and three
legislative bills, passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, have marked significant steps
toward the planning of this important statewide milestone.
On Statehood Day, February 14, Senate President Tim Bee, Chair of the Board of the Arizona State
Library, Archives and Public Records, Speaker of the House Jim Weiers, and Board members Senator
Soltero and Representative Jack Brown, approved and released the Centennial Plan developed by the
Arizona Historical Advisory Commission(AHAC). The Centennial Plan is Attachment "A". All
Commission information may also be found at www.azcentennial.gov
On April 19th, President Bee and Speaker Weiers, assisted by Commission member and event planner,
John Driggs, hosted a Centennial rally, The Arizona Centennial Kickoff, at the Arizona National Guard
Headquarters, Papago Park, Phoenix. Many of you attended or may have read about that very successful
event.
This letter is a follow up to those events, an update from the Commission and a request for your ideas and
your local Centennial contact person(s). House Concurrent Memorial 2006, Attachment"B", urges each
city, town, county and Indian tribe to appoint a Centennial Committee to work to commemorate Arizona's
Centennial. The other two laws (Laws 2007, Chapter 78, HB 2407 and Laws 2007, Chapter 169 Section
1, SB 143 3) increased the size of the Commission, mandated the creation of Centennial Medallions and
provided limited operating funds for the Commission.
Arizona Revised Statutes 41-1352, established the Commission under the State Library and Archives.
Laws 2005, Chapter 1 Section 3; and Laws of 2006, Chapter 350 Section 4; added responsibility for the
planning of the Centennial to the Commission (AHAC). The Commission is responsible for
"recommending and funding activities and projects that will ensure lasting legacy accomplishments to
commemorate the (Arizona) Centennial". The Commission "may accept and spend appropriations, grants,
gifts, contributions and devises to assist in carrying out" its responsibilities. The Commission has
established an Arizona Centennial account in the office of the State Treasurer for this purpose. Legacy
project application forms and other information are also available on the Centennial website.

An Equal Opportunity Employer
Laws 2006, Chapter 350, Section 7, appropriated $2,500,000 to the Arizona Legislative Council for
p
planning,, activities and projects related to the Arizona Centennial. Before this appropriated amount
may be spent the following must occur:
• The Commission (A}JAC) must collect $5,000,000 in matching funds from sources other than
the State, and deposit these matching funds into the Arizona Centennial account.
• The Members of the Legislative Council must vote to authorize the expenditures(s).
The hope is that there will be $7.5 million available to plan and produce local, regional and statewide
Centennial projects and activities.
The Commission is specifically authorized to spend gifts, grants and donations as they are collected,
but the Commission must makep eriodic accountings to the Legislative Council to enable the Council
to determine the funds' eligibility as the state match.
Although the Commission anticipates receiving both unrestricted and earmarked or restricted
donations, each donation must be accepted by the Commission at a public meeting. Restricted
donations (those made for a particular purpose, rather than for the general Centennial activity), must
be accompanied with the appropriate Department of Administration forms Attachment "C",to ensure
that the Commission knows and can certify to the Department of Administration the:
• source from which such monies were received; and
• terms and conditions under which the funds were received.
The correct forms will bereared and processed by the State Library and Archives, at the request and
p p
with the approval of the Commission. All restricted donations must be clearly described and accepted
bythe Commission in a public meeting. Restricted donations that are accepted by the Commission
may be subject ect to refund or return by the Commission to the donor pursuant to Arizona Revised
b'J
Statutes 35-142, 35-146 and 35- 149. With Commission acceptance, and Legislative Council
agreement, restricted funds will count towards the $5 million match needed. Interest earned on
restricted funds will remain with theg eneral Centennial account for the statewide activities. No funds
will be accepted or released without a public vote of the Commission.
Unrestricted funds, those made for the purpose of general Centennial activities that are accepted by the
Commission atapublic meeting may be spent at the direction of the Commission for the development
and coordination of Centennial activities and projects.
This information should resolve any confusion about the process and procedures. Attachment "D" is
the Legislative Council memorandum distributed at the April 19th meeting. Any questions may be
directed to the Arizona State Library, azcentennial@lib.az.us or 602-542-4035.
Attachment"E" is a short survey form that requests your local Centennial contact or committee; any
events or projects now in planning stages in your communities, counties, agencies or tribes; and your
p J
suggestions for the overall statewide Centennial year. The Commission envisions a year long
commemoration based on a master calendar posted on the Centennial website to ensure that each
major event may be attended by as many people as possible. We hope to avoid duplication of dates
and to encourage activities across the state during the Centennial year. One such event will be
February 14, 2012, at the State Capitol on Statehood Day.
The Commission will maintain the website, post events, update the master calendar, and forward
Centennial information to your Centennial contacts. In the belief that the $5 million will be raised, the
Commission will also develop a draft budget for public discussion and review providing for the major
statewide set of activities that might be eligible for the $5 million match funds once that money is
raised. All Commission approved legacy projects could be considered by the Commission for
funding, but in addition,the Commission is hopeful that several major efforts around the state might
be assisted. Current ideas include: the development of an Arizona history series for national and
statewide television,the restoration of selected historic properties and their return to public service, the
creation of Centennial celebration art, literary and historical works, and regional lecture series or other
Arizona historical or Arizona future planning events.
The Coordinating Committee for History in Arizona is assisting the Centennial effort through the
building of an email based contact list and the offering of Centennial workshops. See the CCHA
website for additional information www.ccha-net.org/
The Commission looks forward to working with you to provide Arizona with a unique and significant
Centennial year.
Sincerely,
TN/kite',

Arizona Historical Advisory Commission
Centennial Plan
1
Arizona commemorates 100 years of Statehood on February 14, 2012. As the last of the contiguous
48 states admitted to the Union,Arizona and its citizens have a wonderful opportunity to showcase the
state's beauty,history and future.
Imagining the Centennial
As Arizona's statehood turns its first century, with the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission's
Centennial plan, efforts to showcase the state's beauty,history and future will be a reality.
The Centennial activities will have financially stimulated major projects that involve community-wide
collaboration, to demonstrate the vitality, quality and diversity of Arizona that will contribute to
establishing a lasting legacy into the next century. The projects will have enhanced the teaching,
learning, and writing of Arizona's history with new content from accurate, original research.
Ideas for legacy projects should be stimulated, perhaps even identified, by the Commission members
through working with persons and groups with whom each member individually may be affiliated to
developpotential legacy projects that could or should be a part of the Centennial commemoration. All
g y
groups are welcome to develop projects. Legacy and research projects might include:
a. Restoration of historical properties to public access and use.
b. Publication of books and/or articles that enhance knowledge of Arizona's history through new
research.
c. Creation of public art in commemoration of events or for the Centennial.
d. Interpretation through exhibits, public programs, events, discussions in cultural, educational
and information institution (such as public television, public radio) of new and/or creative
revisions of historical content.
J
Through such projects, the Centennial would draw tourists to Arizona, as well as interest residents in
g p
parts of Arizona they have not visited.
The statewide website will document andp romote locally-initiated and grassroots activities in
communities throughout the state. People of all ages will have participated or will be participating in
events in every area of the state that inform, document, present and commemorate Arizona's
Centennial.

Centennial Commission
In the fall of 2004, Governor Janet Napolitano, Senate President Ken Bennett and House Speaker Jake
Flake jointly announced their preference for the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission
(Commission)to plan the State's Centennial. Senator Jay Tibshraeny and Representative Lucy Mason
sponsored legislation adding Centennial responsibility to Commission. As the only state Commission
dedicated to Arizona history, it represents the major state history and heritage institutions. Statewide
in its scope, it is nonpartisan in nature and operates under the state's accounting and accountability
framework.
Commission's Vision for the Centennial
Ensure a lasting legacy for future generations by encouraging all Arizonans to reflect on our unique
and authentic history, to experience the rich and diverse tapestry of our heritage, and to explore our
promising future.
Commission's Centennial Mission
Develop, encourage, and coordinate a statewide plan for Arizona's Centennial in 2012 including:
> advising the Legislature and state agencies on Centennial history and heritage, arts and culture;
> assisting the governor's countdown to the Centennial to support school children learning about
Arizona's history; and
> recommending and funding activities and projects that will ensure lasting legacy
accomplishments to commemorate the Centennial.
This plan intends to create an awareness of the Centennial through:
• Establishing criteria for officially designated legacy projects and stimulating local
initiatives by helping communities identify and research legacy projects.
• Generating sources of funding such as institutional sponsorships, public-private
partnerships, and local funding options including private sector support that may
assist designated legacy projects.
• Marketing and promoting designated legacy projects and activities.
The Commission is developing funding sources and allocations processes, public relations programs,
communications mechanisms, audit and financial controls, and a reporting procedure to the
Legislature and donors. The Commission will act as a facilitator for intergovernmental
communications.
There are many benefits to be gained from a well-planned, well-executed state Centennial. By
encouraging the statewide cultural community to work with others to develop specific projects related
to the Centennial, these projects and activities will serve as a springboard for future decisions that
incorporate a better understanding of Arizona's culture and history into state and local policy.
Centennial projects and activities will give state legislators, local government officials, and interested
institutions or organizations an opportunity to hear and learn from the public about their priorities
when commemorating Arizona's history. It is the Commission's intention that as a result of the legacy
projects new research regarding Arizona's history will be available for the teaching, writing and
learning about Arizona.
To move from the present to a successful 2012 Centennial, the following guiding principles are
essential:
• Statewide representation and participation in the planning and implementation of the
Centennial.
Page 3 of 11
• Responsive institutional relationships that ensure Arizona's history and cultures are
represented adequately, accurately,and appropriately.
• Collaborative approaches that capitalize on the combined skills and views of multiple partners.
Background
The Arizona Historical Advisory Commission was authorized in 1976 under ARS 41-1352 as a part of
the Arizona State Library,Archives and Public Records (ASLAPR). In addition to generally reflecting
the broader concern for the support of the study of Arizona history and research, Chapter One
(S.B. 1065) of the Laws of 2005, added specific responsibilities to create awareness and promote
observance of Arizona's Centennial at the local and state level.
Arizona's cultural community promoted this new law to properly plan for the Centennial. The law
expands the membership and mission of the Commission, including the charge of creating a
Centennial plan.
Additional legislation enacted in 2006 (H.B. 2870 Section 3B) states "The Historical Advisory
Commission may accept and spend appropriations, grants, gifts, contributions and devises to assist in
carrying out this section [Centennial Work]. The Historical Advisory Commission may accept and
spend grants, gifts, contributions and devises to contract for administrative and clerical staff,
professional and administrative experts and other staff as necessary to enable the commission to
carryout out this section [Centennial Work]." It also provided an appropriation of $2.5 million for
activities and projects related to the Arizona Centennial. Before this money can be spent, a matching
amount of $5 million must be raised from non-state sources. This funding package of$7.5
million
the Commission the potential to provide funding for designated legacy projects.
gives
The Commission consists of not less than 10 but not more than 20 members appointed by the Director
of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records (ASLAPR) who serves under the direction
of the bipartisan bicameral Board of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
Commission members include experts in the fields of:
• historic preservation
• history
• arts and culture
• architecture and archaeology
• professional libraries and archives
• persons associated with the interpretation, research, writing, preservation or

Each unit ofg over ment is encouraged to establish a Centennial committee at the local level. Local
committees are the key to identifying legacy projects that can mobilize a community effort including
history related organizations, educational, cultural and arts institutions, and community organizations.
It is hoped that public and charter schools, colleges and universities will design education related
Centennial projects and activities as well as participate in other Centennial commemorations.
There are six working committees of the Commission. The committees will work with stakeholders to
ensure a well coordinated effort that achieves a successful Centennial. The working committees are:
Page 4 of 11
1. The Historic Sites Review Committee (HSRC) is a statutory standing committee of
the Commission. The Historic Sites Review Committee Chair is by statute a member
of the Commission.
2. The Countdown to the Centennial Committee is comprised of gubernatorial
appointees. A representative of the Countdown to the Centennial Committee will
become a member of the Commission.
3. The Development Committee will work with both the public and private sectors to
secure funds for the Commission. A member of the Commission will Chair the
Development Committee.
4. The Marketing Committee will develop the communications and marketing strategies
for the Commission. A member of the Commission will Chair the Marketing
Committee.
5. The Programs, Projects and Events Committee will develop the criteria for the
Centennial programs, projects and events and will be available to assist in
implementation of said activities. A member of the Commission will Chair the
Programs,Projects and Events Committee.
6. The Membership Committee will recruit members to serve on the Commission and
the six standing committees. The Vice-Chair for Committees of the Commission will

To support the work of the Commission and to provide information to the public a website,
www.azCentennial.gov, was created. Stakeholders and the general public may contact the
Commission with questions and comments about the Centennial at azCentennial@lib.az.us.
Partners
The Arizona Centennial effort is supported by partnerships. In addition to the Arizona Legislature,the
Governor and Judiciary, statewide government agencies, tribal nations and cultural and arts
institutions are encouraged to participate.
Initial major partners included the Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records (ASLAPR);
Arizona Humanities Council; ASU Public History Program; the Arizona State Museum; KAET
television: the Arizona Historical Society; Arizona State Parks; Sharlot Hall Museum; Phoenix
Heritage Commission; Arizona Commission on the Arts; Salt River Project; Arizona Library
Association; Arizona Historical Foundation; the State Historical Preservation Office; and the
Coordinating Committee for History in Arizona.
The Coordinating Committee for History in Arizona (CCHA) provides a greater awareness and
appreciation of history through workshops, conferences, and outreach activities. In May 2004, the
CCHA launched the first planning workshop to begin the process of preparing for the Centennial. A
second statewide workshop was held in May 2005 and a third in August 2006. CCHA will continue
providing annual workshops related to the Centennial effort until 2012. In addition, CCHA sponsors
meetings and discussions throughout the year. CCHA also maintains an e-mail list of individuals
interested in Centennial updates and information.
Although the Centennial year is 2012, activities and projects are already underway. In 2003, when
Governor Napolitano issued a gubernatorial proclamation recognizing Statehood Day and officially
announced the Countdown to the Centennial, fourth graders took part in a number of activities
depicting Arizona's past and present. The Governor appointed a Countdown to the Centennial

statewide task force and charged them with planningadditional activities for 4th graders depicting
g
Arizona's past and present in each ensuing year until 2012. when all 4� graders in Arizona will be
invited to a Centennial event.
Each spring, the Arizona Convocation, sponsored by the ASLAPR, brings together a diverse
community of librarians, archivists, museum professionals, historians, genealogists, records managers
and conservators. Through the speakers, panels and conversations, it seeks to connect colleagues both
by region of the state and by type of institution and to strengthen programs that support Arizona's
g
cultural resources. Cultural institutions are places where anyone can go to explore a society's past
and contem late its future. Each the convocation will sponsor original historical research
(2005) p year
on a varietyof themes to update "Arizona at 75", written for the 75thanniversary of Statehood.
Arizona's water resource(2006)was the first in this series. See http://www.lib.az.us/convocations/for
more information. The convocations leading up to the Centennial will introduce new historical
research each year that has long term significance for Arizona.
The Arizona Historical Society has a Centennial planning committee whose work will be coordinated
with thep lan. The society has formal links to their certified history museums throughout the state,
which will assist and coordinate efforts as these communities develop their own Centennial planning.
The Centennial list of partners and partnerships could include the following:

g
Taking Stock of the Present
Ii
The Centennial offers a significant opportunity to reflect and take stock of Arizona's development
over time and note that we are at the point of 100 years of statehood, what we have come to be, and
what we are in therocess of becoming as we enter a new centenary era. Statehood in 1912 was but
p
one moment in Arizona's long-term process of becoming. The 2012 Centennial is yet another
milestone in that process of becoming. On the surface a Centennial signifies the end of one era and the
opening of another. Yet as a benchmark date, it provides the moment where we look in three
directions backward, around, and ahead. The Centennial opens a moment in time for significant
introspection and reflection that embraces all members of the state's communities. Events, activities,
and projects that encompass the full range of Arizona's citizenry touch each part of the state. Such a
commemoration reminds us of our long, rich history characterized by diverse communities and
cultures that extend over hundreds of years. We remember as well the remarkable changes wrought on
the natural and cultural landscape by those who engineered Arizona's successful entry into the federal
union as a state. Their commitment to development and investment in Arizona's future created the
foundations for the remarkable economic and population growth in the post-World War H era that
ushered in the latest developments in science and technology. Imagining the Centennial means
creating opportunities for all Arizonans to participate and appreciate the fabric and texture of the
Page 6of11
state's rural and urban histories and its diverse cultures that are traditional and long-standing as well as
new and linked to the rapidly changing world outside Arizona.
The Centennial offers the moment to bring Arizona's contemporary history to the foreground within a
broad historical context. Different strands of the past can be considered in light of present
circumstances. At the Centennial we can reflect on the formal political act of 1912 of becoming a
more integral part of the United States, consider the history of the remarkable years since statehood
marked by significant population growth, urban change, and the huge economic transformation from
an agriculturally- and mining-based economy to high-tech status and in the 21st century to translational
genomics, and anticipate the potentially vast changes ahead in the 21st century with sustainability one
of Arizona's most important topics. Because history is an ongoing, unfolding process, the Centennial
as part of Arizona's history is as much the embracing of the past as the present and future. At the
Centennial Arizonans can pause to ponder: to reach back in time to celebrate the Native heritages
evident in the contemporary Native populations and reflect on the effect of the arrival of Euro-
Americans who established Spanish and Mexican outposts and then Anglo American communities
soon receiving ever increasing numbers. The steadily increasing numbers of the onslaught in post
World War II growth will encompass the Centennial itself in tremendous growth and economic
expansion. Between 2006 and 2012 an anticipated 1.4 million people will swell Arizona's population.
The Centennial provides a unique moment to welcome this audience of new arrivals by helping them
identify as Arizonans and learn to call Arizona home. Articulating Arizona's strong sense of place will
be as important for the newcomers as well as current residents. Arizona's cultural institutions have an
important role in bringing the Centennial's events and programs to new and traditional audiences.
Sharing and understanding the many stories and resources of Arizona's past, as well as exploring
opportunities offered by our present day confluence of cultures is the important work of the
Centennial.
Political Climate
Arizona's political context varies significantly by level of government and region of the state. In
many situations, public-private partnerships are welcomed and supported. In others, public entities
will absorb Centennial commemoration into their ongoing efforts and work. Most public officials
view the Centennial as an important opportunity to showcase Arizona and to increase our knowledge
of Arizona history.
The Commission understands and appreciates the importance of statewide involvement and
participation in the state's Centennial.
Arizona's American Indian Citizens
There are 21 federally recognized American Indian communities, reservations and nations in Arizona.
The Zuni tribe of New Mexico maintains aboriginal ties to the region and also has trust lands in the
state. There remains, from the earliest times to the present, great linguistic, cultural and social
diversity among contemporary Native People. American Indian urban populations add to this
diversity with the advent of adult Indian relocation programs of the 1950s and 1960s to young people
today seeking higher educational opportunities at colleges and universities throughout the state.
The question, "How do American Indians view the Arizona Centennial?" would not generate a single,
monolithic response. Indeed, responses would be varied and it is, in part, the Commission's task to
invite and act upon the varied responses. Some American Indians may not view the Centennial as a
celebration at all. Others may view it as a time to take stock of the present, reflect on the past with
regard to human and political relations,and prepare for the future.
The Commission invites American Indian individuals, organizations, communities, and nations to
consider legacy or other special projects. Most Indian communities in the state have a museum or a
Page 7 of 11
heritage/cultural center that could serve as a venue for the community to show and demonstrate their
participation. These facilities are natural confluences between community members and Arizona
residents at large. By the year 2012, it is likely that all Indian communities in Arizona will have a
cultural center or similar venue. Schools and school libraries are also important public gathering
places. The Centennial could also be a time to bring world attention to the many forms of artistic
expression created by today's American Indian artists. The possibilities are limitless for American
Indian participation.
Arizona's Hispanic Culture
Arizona'sath to statehood began in 1528 under Spanish rule, when the eight year exploration of
p
Cabeza de Vaca brought European attention to this part of the New World. Over the next century,
Spanish explorers claimed vast land in the Southwest and made the first systematic exploration.
Franciscan missionaries were the first Europeans to live in what is now Arizona from 1687 — 1711.
The famous Father Keno established the missions of San Xavier, San Miguel and Guevavi in Pimeria
Alta along the Rio Santa Cruz and Rio San Pedro. Silver was discovered in 1736. In 1752 Tubac
Presidio(fort)became the first European community in Arizona. Tucson followed in 1776.
Following the Mexican Independence Movement of 1810 — 1821, Arizona's lands were under
Mexican Rule. Following the Mexican War, which ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in
1848, those lands became part of the New Mexico Territory in the United States. Additional lands
were added to Arizona in 1853 asp art of the Gadsden Purchase.
Today 28.6% of Arizona is of Spanish or Mexican decent. Those cultures give Arizona much of its
color,music, art and culinary excellence.
IMPLEMENTATION AND THE NEXT STEPS
Marketing
A comprehensive marketing campaign will be developed to promote awareness of and engagement in
p
the Centennial as envisioned by the Legislature.
• Increase awareness of and promote Arizona's Centennial plans
• Increase awareness of how civic, community, cultural, arts, and governmental organizations
and agencies can participate in Centennial projects, events and activities.
• Develop materials for presentations by Commission and Commission committee members to
business organizations, trade associations and chambers of commerce to encourage
participation, linkage and support for Centennial projects,events and activities.
• Develop an official Centennial logo and brand Commission endorsed projects, events and
activities
• Explore logo merchandising opportunities as a means to securing resources to support
Centennial programs,projects,events and activities
Other marketing committee efforts may include the development of methods of engaging civic,
•
community, cultural and arts organizations to plan Centennial events, projects, or programs. The
Marketing Committee will explore ways to inform and engage Arizona's Congressional Delegation
and other appropriate federal agencies about Arizona's Centennial efforts.
The Commission will make presentations to major business and professional trade associations and
chambers of commerce to encourage linkage and support for legacy projects. In many cases there will
be opportunities for the trade associations to join with state agencies to organize and develop projects.
process standing
this Commission members and committee members can help identify and promote
potential projects, particularly in the field of their expertise.
Page 8 of 11
Programs,Projects,Events
The events of the Centennial commemoration will allow the people of Arizona to reflect on the state's
unique and authentic history and explore its promising future. One goal of this commemoration in
2012 is to provide through designated legacy projects not only remembrances of the past but also
lasting and ongoing efforts for the future. Other programs of a more ephemeral nature will play a role
as well, and guidelines will be developed for events in 2011 and throughout the Centennial year of
2012.
The Programs, Projects and Events Committee will be appointed to oversee application and
implementation processes. This group will:
• Develop criteria and application procedures for Centennial legacy projects, programs and
events.
• Review project applications according to a published schedule and make recommendations to
Commission for official Centennial designation.
• Create structures to report on designated programs.
• Assist in implementation of official Centennial projects.
• Provide information regarding funding procedures to eligible entities.
• Coordinate and define project evaluation.
• Encourage commitment from state agencies to participate in and support legacy projects.
• Place appropriate documentation from designated projects on permanent record with the
Arizona State Archives.
Project Criteria
The Commission has developed criteria by which to assess proposed legacy projects for official
Centennial designation. To be considered for official designation,the project must:
1. Accurately portray a significant aspect of Arizona history.
2. Be accessible to large numbers of visitors and users.
3. Demonstrate collaboration in the planning.
4. Produce an enduring product that will live on after 2012.
5. Include an educational component.
6. Include a plan for implementation.
The application for receiving status as an official Arizona Legacy Project or event is included in the
Appendix with full instructions. Certification allows for uses of the official Centennial logo and
inclusion in the overall statewide public relations program. Only certified projects qualify for funding
requests. The Commission will meet at least quarterly to consider certification and funding requests.
Reports, photographs,recordings and other documentation from designated Centennial projects will be
placed on permanent record with the Arizona State Archives.
Two statewide efforts have been designated Arizona Legacy Projects. The Arizona Memory Project
http://azinemory.lib.az.us/ and the OneBookAZ http://www.onebookaz.org/ (Arizona history theme
reading program).
The Programs Committee is charged with assisting in the implementation of official Centennial
projects. This assistance could be provided through serving as an information and tracking resource,
keeping the many entities aware of the projects planned, and recording where and when they will take
place. Funding opportunities will be another important area of program assistance. It is a goal of the
Commission to provide funding assistance for officially designated legacy projects. Guidelines and
procedures will be developed as funds become available. Other opportunities for helping project
directors may arise as applications are approved and implementation begins. Project directors will be
Page 9 of 11
asked torovide final reports, and appropriate photographs, recordings and other documentation will
p p
be placed on permanent record with the Arizona State Archives.
State agencies, including the three universities, can play a major role in the state Centennial
commemoration, and the Programs Committee will develop ways to encourage and assist these
commitments.
Centennial events will tend to be planned by communities and organizations for the years leading up
to the actual date of February 14, 2012, and throughout the Centennial year. Specific Commission
guidelines and suggestions for events will be forthcoming.
Development
The Development Committee will work with both the public and private sectors to secure funds for the
Commission. A member of the Commission will Chair the Development Committee.
The accounting system stem for the entire Centennial will be administered through the Arizona State
Library,Archives and Public Records.
Audit and financial controls will be ensured, particularly including a mechanism that will identify and
track all earmarked funds. This is essential since all contributed non-state funds must pass through the
State Treasurer's office and be reported to Legislative Council to be counted for the match
requirement.
Fundraising goals will be continuously revised as the work of the Commission and sub-committees
continue. Each official legacy project will, in most cases, have its own fund development. The
official Commission, Centennial website will include a fundraising section. The website may also
include fundraising messages for selected legacy projects.
g
The keyto the development of legacy products is proper planning and adequate funding. The
p
Centennial appropriation clearly sends a strong signal to cities and towns, Indian tribes and counties
that, if the Commission fundraising is successful; the State will help sponsor legacy projects and
activities that are sanctioned as official Centennial projects by the Arizona Historical Advisory
Commission.
The Development Committee will:
• Ensure audit and financial controls through the ASLAPR.
• Initiate and maintain reporting procedures to the Legislature and donors with ASLAPR.
• Determine potential for federal grants or cooperative action.
• Encourage commercial and industrial trade organizations to develop and support legacy
projects and/or to cooperate with local and state governmental and cultural entities.
Centennial Funds
To underscore the importance of the Centennial, the Legislature included in the fiscal year 2006-2007
budget a non-lapsing appropriation of $2.5 million to encourage and facilitate commemorative
activities and legacy projects. The budget bill language requires that a matching amount of$5 million
must be raised from non-state government sources before the appropriation can be released for
Centennial work. These sources would be cities, towns and counties, grants from Indian Tribes,
federal grants, and the private sector.
Page 10 of 11
When funds are available, a funding mechanism and fund allocation procedure will be developed for
requesting grants for individual projects already designated as Centennial Legacy Projects (See
application on website at www.azcentennial.gov).
Meeting the Legislature's Match Requirement of$5 Million
Funds from non-state sources for Centennial legacy projects that meet the criteria of the Arizona
Historical Advisory Commission to qualify as part of its match requirement by Legislative Council
must be deposited (in an Arizona Centennial account) in the office of the State Treasurer through the
Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records. Contributions or grants to specific projects
should be earmarked, if possible, and will be available to the project after accounting as match or
released if not qualified as match.
Contributions may be spent as they are collected and still qualify for the required match so long as
they are processed according to the law into the Centennial account.
Local government will have a primary responsibility to stimulate and sponsor projects. This will
motivate initial funding that will provide the required match to activate the state appropriation to be
distributed statewide. The Commission may make grants to local government or organizations that
sponsor the official projects after procedural approval by the Legislative Council. Legislative Council
consists of the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House and six members each from both the
Senate and House of Representatives.
With the expectation that many of the contributions used to achieve the state match requirements will
either be earmarked or allocated to a specific legacy project, the Commission may consider financial
assistance for these projects when the state appropriation of $2.5 million has been matched and is
available to the Commission for use.
In-kind Contributions
There will be instances where an in-kind contribution of goods and services will be donated for
Centennial purposes. These should be accepted if appropriate, but the value cannot qualify toward the
match requirement. Donors of such goods and services should receive proper recognition by the
project sponsors in all public relations activity relative to the project and the Centennial.

MEMO
•
March 29, 2007
TO: . Speaker Jim Weiers
President Tim Bee .
FROM: Michael Braun,Executive Director
RE: Arizona Centennial funding
Arizona Revised Statutes § 41-1352 establishes an Arizona Historical Advisory V -
Commission consisting of not less than ten nor more than twenty members appointed by the
Director of the Arizona State Library,Archives and Public Records. Pursuant to Laws 2005,
Chapter 1, Section 3, as amended by Laws 2006, Chapter 350, Section 4,the Commission is
responsible for "recommending and funding activities and projects that will ensure lasting legacy
accomplishments to commemorate the(Arizona) centennial". The Commission "may accept and
spend appropriations, grants, gifts, contributions and devises to assist in carrying out"its
responsibilities. The Commission has established an Arizona Centennial account in the office of
the State Treasurer for this purpose. V
Laws 2006, Chapter 350, Section 7 appropriated $2,500,000 to the Arizona Legislative
Council for planning, activities and projects relating to the Arizona Centennial. Before this
appropriated amount may be spent, the following must occur:
1. The Commission must collect$5,000,000 in matching funds from sources other than
the State and deposit these matching funds into the Arizona Centennial account.
2. The members of the Legislative Council must vote to authorize the expenditure(s).
The Commission is specifically authorized to spend gifts, grants and donations as they are
collected, but the Commission must make an accounting to the Legislative Council to determine
qualification for the state match.
The Commission anticipates receiving both unrestricted and earmarked donations. Each
type of donation, once deposited into the Arizona Centennial account, counts toward the state
match requirement. Unrestricted donations may be spent at the direction of the Commission for
the development and coordination of a statewide plan andthe funding of activities and projects
relating to the Arizona Centennial celebration. Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 35-142,
35-146 and 35-149, earmarked funds must be deposited in the Centennial account,but may be
subject to refund or return to the donor. In depositing earmarked monies with the State
Treasurer, the Commission must certify to the Arizona Department of Administration the source
from which such monies were received and the terms and conditions under which the funds were
received. Further, all disbursements from the Arizona Centennial account must be authorized by
the Commission and processed through the Department of Administration.
