MOTION: Vice Chair Zwiener MOVED to approve the July 14, 2008, Historic Preservation Commission minutes. Commission Nagy seconded the motion. Motion carried: 6:0. V. Discussion of Historic Preservation Issues with Representatives of State Historic Preservation Commission (SHPO). Jim Garrison, State Historian, State Historic Preservation Office, Phoenix, came to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) meeting because he had heard that HPC was nr,t hcring hnr* frr,m q1-1Pn. It 4r ' 4,..rs the issues revolve around: fLeam Pump Ranch (SPR) development and Certified Local Government (CLG). CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Local communities may be certified as a CLG GeFtifies-Ge-ram- if they have an ordinance and a historic preservation commission and that they meet certain requirements that are established in the National Historic Preservation Act as amended about 1980. Historic properties are usually, but don't have to be, over 50 years old. There are no restrictions on the number or type of historic buildings OP • . •e e - e - . e e . e e e 'Wings to be able to Ger* be certified. August 11, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes What is the resource base and what will become eligible? New buildings should be built to be able to certify in 50 years. You want to have something that has a sense of place, a purpose and a relationship to the environment. The requirements for being a CLG are: - Having an Ordinance - Having a Commission - Try to represent history, architecture and archaeology on the Commission to the best of your ability. - Meet at least 3 times a year. - In the Ordinance, you review changes to properties. - Have a design review function within the ordinance. - Survey for historic properties. - Make sure historic properties are preserved and control the uses to protect the properties. • This is an enabling legislation. A Historic District is a powerful tool to control the character of a neighborhood. If the Town you becomes a certified local government, there is a contract signed between the Mayor and Council and the SHPO office. If certified, C-L-G SHPO will be able to assist in some of these activities if necessary. M-a-ximum-fu-e 9,1911 e • e . ere is a rotating list for the funding cycle. The funds help cover soft costs for ordinance revisions, surveying, nominations, workshops, and training. SHPO will review application and see if there is anything else they need. They will need to see an inventory of potential properties. Comments from Commissioners and staff: -The Town has been pursuing CLG status prior to HPC being established. -There are a lot of areas that would fall under historic designation. -We don't have the professional resources on staff. -The Town has grown from 2.6 square miles to 36+ square miles. -There is an interest in doing a survey. Ms. More stated the Town Council has in this FY budget identified $50,000 to start work on an inventory for the Town. That may be the inventory we need to become certified. We have had some modest training. Mr. Garrison assured the Commission that they are not reluctant to certify. We have certified every community that has followed the requirements. Technical issues have kept communities from becoming certified. Once in program, it is self-monitoring. SHPO applauds Oro Valley for taking this step. Roxy Johnson. Oro Valley resident, stated that even though Oro Valley was August 11, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes incorporated in 1974, it has been lived in for many years before. It is important to preserve Steam Pump Ranch and other historic properties. Mr. Garrison said that the next steps towards becoming certified will be for SHPO to look over the file and talk to the archaeologist. They will need to see the new ordinance. Within 30 days SHPO will send a letter back to the Mayor, with a copy to staff, with any concerns and give a timeline for when designation may occur. STEAM PUMP RANCH: Commissioner Spoerl gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the SPR map and pictures of buildings. Mr. Garrison presented a map of SPR showing the recommended boundary for the nomination of the designated site. SHPO would like to see the National Register nomination boundary as tight a possible around the buildings, which gives more freedom to add support buildings with more contemporary uses outside the boundary. It may not be necessary to treat the whole area as historic. Leaving the area where the stock were outside the boundary allows for interpretative use and more freedom, for such things as a petting zoo, ponies, meeting rooms, etc. He suggested not freezing the whole ranch in time, i.e. the two periods of history. That is all allowable within the concept of rehabilitation. TREATMENT: The end product should be treated with respect. Treatment becomes an ongoing management issue. Functionality should help to preserve the property. Currently, the National Park Service recognizes four treatments: 1. Preservation - Maintaining property as you have it right now. Don't add or take anything away as of the date of district nomination. . 2. Restoration - Returning the property to a specific point in time. This is very expensive to do accurately and should be thought out very carefully. Can it be done without making part of it faux? 3. Rehabilitation - Putting a property into contemporary use while maintaining those features and areas that make the building eligible and worthy of preservation. 4. Reconstruction - You have to have a historic property in order to preserve it. If you don't have it, and you are going to reconstruct it, when you reconstruct it, you still don't have a historic property because it is brand nevv. Reconstruction should be applied to Cl historic district. You can't reconstruct something that is not gone. Mr. Garrison encouraged exploring alternatives that may be more cost effective, and answer questions before deciding upon a treatment. Interpretation is the goal and should drive the treatment. A cash flow is needed to maintain the property. There was an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act in 1992 to the definition of historic preservation. The word "reconstruction" was taken out of the NPA Development interpretative plan and then decide treatment. August 11, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes Mr. Nelson told Mr. Garrison that the Town has a Transportation Grant (TE) before Pima Association of Governments (PAG). PAG loved the project, but because SHPO's recommendation was to keep the Ranch Pumphouse building as a ruin, it dropped the Town's rating. The Grant won't be moved forward to State level if SHPO wants to keep the R-a-n-Gb Pumphouse building as a ruin. Mr. Garrison said that SHPO could write a letter for the TE grant. There are challenges with any treatment the Commission chooses. SHPO will agree with either treatment the HPC decides. Break: 5 minutes MOTION: Vice Chair Zwiener MOVED to continue agenda items XIII, IX, and X to the next Historic Preservation Commission meeting. Commissioner Spoerl seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0. VI. Discussion and possible action regarding HPC Rules and Procedures. Attorney Mack said that as the Rules and Procedures read now, site tours are like study sessions and would need minutes taken, etc. The Town Council policy on site tours is that it is a tour only and not a public meeting, which accommodates concerns about open meeting laws. Ms. More said that having to take minutes for a site tour would create logistical difficulties. Chair Baughman was not adverse to the Council's approach. MOTION: Commissioner Pullara MOVED to accept Town Council policy on site tours for HPC. Commissioner Nagy seconded the motion. Discussion: Vice Chair Zwiener asked is the reasoning behind this is we want to preserve a collaborative process, as well as provide for a better treatment of the process and prevent controversy? Chair Baughman said that adopting the Town Council policy will not interfere with the collaborative process. Motion carried, 6:0,„ VII. Discussion and possible action on the proposed amendments to the Historical Preservation Code. The Historic Preservation Code handout showed minor housekeeping changes as indicated in the margins. (See attached) MOTION: Commissioner Nagy MOVED to approve the amendments as discussed (and as indicated in the attached copy of the Historic Preservation Code).

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 n historical AL Pump 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 Rignor, who developed the idea and who is a member of the OVHS on the Education Committee. The board has approved the proposal that Ms. Rignor 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 Draft 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. Rignor 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 or the Steam Pump Ranch vicinity. Ms. Rignor 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 Dino 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 informations - 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 Draft 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. Rig nor 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 make an impact on our membership for 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 Draft 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 SHP0 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. a 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 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes Scott Nelson will see about getting a contact person changed from Pamela Pelletier to a Commissioner. Commissioner Spoerl suggested membership needs a password to be able to access the online data base. Mr. Nelson would be the logical contact person. IX. Announcements. There were no announcements. X.

PRESENT: Chair Bob Baughman Vice Chair Daniel Zwiener Commissioner Pat Spoerl Commissioner Patrick Foley Commissioner Valerie Pullara Commissioner Lois Nagy Also Present: Mayor Paul Loomis Council Member Salette Latas Scott Nelson, Special Projects Coordinator Mike Spaeth, Planner Sarah More, Planning and Zoning Director Diane Chapman, Senior Office Specialist Ill. Call to the Audience. Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident spoke about creating a sustainable community from the standpoint of matching successfully the 3 components of mixed use: residential with retail with employment. Mixed use projects are rarely if ever successful Demographics are not matched up well, thus it falls apart. All citizens need to be aware of this. He encouraged the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to attend the Planning Commission meeting tomorrow night where this item will be on the agenda. There is an area within the 9,100 acres of Arroyo Grande that is considered to have significant archaeological value and is referred to as a cultural preserve. iV. Approval of Minutes. Mr. Nelson said there was a recommendation at the last meeting for Ms. Spoerl and Ms. Chapman to go over the minutes prior to approval. He asked that last months and this month's minutes be carried over for approval at next month's meeting. V. Presentation by Marty McCune and Jerry Kyle, Skylark Consulting, re: Cultural Resource Survey for Town of Oro Valley. Marty McCune and Jerry Kyle, Skylark Consulting, gave a presentation on cultural resource surveys. They talked about what a cultural resource survey is and its importance October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes to the community. Their product is an inventory of resources and priorities for treatment. A cultural resource survey is a means to identify, evaluate and protect cultural resources. The process involves public volunteers and professionals. It is a process of gathering data, analyzing and interpreting it, and making it part of a comprehensive plan, Steps involved are: - Identification: looking at what you have, where it is, the time periods, and the relationship of the resources to historic context. - Evaluation: how to determine what is important. - Treatment: protection priorities, policies, tools, funding, and uses. The process includes a field survey which is a physical search for and recording of the cultural resources on the ground. It includes planning and background research, organization and presentation of survey data, and development of inventories. The benefits enable you to be forward looking and proactive in your preservation program and identifies areas where preservation needs to take place. It increases public awareness and appreciation for historic resources. It gives the opportunity to assess a wide variety of resources, such as landscapes, cemeteries, parks, ranches, etc. National Register of Historic Places criteria: - 50 years old Meets one or more of: - associated with events that contributed to broad patterns of history - associated with significant persons - architecture - yields or will yield important information Historic Context: - helps weave survey work together - provides historical background - identifies resource types that can be expected to be found - provides a framework for setting priorities - assists in planning survey work There are two levels of survey activity: - Reconnaissance: a broad overview of the community and resources, and focuses on identification of what is there. - Intensive survey: getting into more of an evaluation mode of the identified resources. Products from the survey: - Maps - Reports - Detailed inventories of resources - Recommendations for treatment and protection - General historical information about the community Tips: - Keep it simple - Use an inventory form October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes - Get good advice and assistance - Evaluate, revise, and update - Keep it up to date Chair Baughman added a final step: circulate, take to schools, library, etc. Vice Chair Zwiener and Commissioners Spoerl and Nagy are working on an RFP and developing samples. VI. Discussion and possible action regarding Steam Pump Ranch (SPR) Regarding the historical garden, the major thing the Historical Society has done is contact people involved in water conservation and harvesting. Pima County will not propose a bond package for 2009. There are concerns about access and safety, so Mr. Nelson's preference is to proceed with the garden project to keep people involved, but do it offsite rather than at the Ranch for now. It will be a board decision. Mr. Nelson said when this was first talked about, it looked like we would have a bond package. With the economy, it may not happen soon. If we allow limited access, other groups will want to have access also. The site is not safe. The gardens may be able to be started elsewhere on Town property and later moved when the site is ready. There are still educational opportunities to keep the interest level alive. It will have to go to Council soon if it is going to be on Steam Pump Ranch. If elsewhere, and still be a pioneer garden, there may not be the interest in HPC being involved. Chair Baughman suggested continuing this agenda item to the next meeting. Mr. Nelson said there was a corm 1L nityarden originally Dr3 nted 'etween the libraryand 9 9 �. the Community Development building, which may be a possible area for the gardens. Naranja Town site is another possibility. Mr. Nelson added we researched how the master plan was accepted. The language allows the Town Manager to make decisions on the site as long as it is in the master plan and as funding becomes available. The Town Council should also be kept informed. Chair Baughman asked for a member of the Commission to research the possibility of 11 sing Steam Pump Ranch as an Arizona Centennial project. Vice Chair Zwiener volunteered and will report back at the next meeting. Mr. Nelson gave a brief update on SPR. The emergency stabilization and clean up continues. The motor and gearing was replaced on the gate. ADOT Transportation Enhancement Grant will be heard before the State board this week and we should know something by the end of this week. TP... consultant forwarded a gaaffG for the National Rgistor Nomination, which was sent via email to the HPC. It will need to be sent to the State Historic Preservation office (SHPO) with a letter from either staff or the Commission for their comment. This should happen this month. Chair Baughman asked that this go on the agenda for the next month. October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes VII. Discussion and possible action regarding protocol for confidential information. There are cultural resources at Arroyo Grande that have been identified, HPC should develop an interest in that area once Arroyo Grande is annexed. Documents that come to HPC are public documents and some kind of protocol needs to be in place that . addresses confidentiality to provide protection of cultural resource sites from thep ublic. A memo was distributed from Attorney Mack about confidentiality. Cultural sites andrivac p Y issues need to be addressed. Mr. Nelson and Attorney Mack, Vice Chair Zwiener and Chair Baughman will work on developing a draft to bring to the next meeting prepare to an amendment to the operating rules to send to Council for approval. Chair Baughman asked this be put on the next agenda. VIiI. Discussion of Arroyo Grande cultural resources. The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding Arroyo Grande will be on 10/7, at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Commissioner Spoerl said the sooner the HPC considered what is known about cultural resources in AG the better and it should not wait until annexation. Council Member Latas said Arroyo Grande information is on line. The Planning and Zoning Commission will be considering the recommendation to Town Council of whether to accept the GP amendment. There is a section in special area policies dealing with cultural resources. Mr. Nelson pointed out this amendment is a request to change the GP as it exists today. There will be many opportunities for HPC to get involved. At this level if involves Planning and Zoning aid Ti thin Council. IX. Discussion of Honey Bee Village. Continued to next meeting. X.

Duty to report discoveries; disposition of discoveries; definitions A. A person in charge of any survey,excavation, construction or other like activity on any lands owned or con- trolled by this state,by any public agency or institution of the state,or by any county or municipal corporation within the state shall report promptly to the director of the Arizona state museum the existence of any archaeolo- gical,paleontological or historical site or object that is at least fifty years old and that is discovered in the course of such survey,excavation, construction or other like activity and,in consultation with the director,shall imme- diately take all reasonable steps to secure and maintain its preservation. If it is necessary to move the object be- fore completion of the proceedings prescribed by this section to permit the continuation of work on a construc- tion project or similar project,the director shall require that the move be accomplished in the manner that will least disturb and best preserve the object. B. If the objects discovered are human remains, funerary objects, sacred ceremonial objects or objects of nation- al or tribal patrimony,the director of the Arizona state museum shall,to the best of his ability,give notice of the discovery to: 1. All individuals that may have a direct kinship relationship to the human remains. 2. All groups that it is reasonable to believe may have a cultural or religious affinity to the remains or objects. • 3. Appropriate members of the curatorial staff of the Arizona state museum. 4. Faculty members of the state universities who have a significant scholarly interest in the remains or objects. 5. The state historic preservation officer. C.American Indian tribal governments that wish to be notified pursuant to this section shall keep on file with the director lists of the cultural groups and geographical area with which they claim affinity. D. If American Indian human remains, funerary objects, sacred ceremonial objects or objects of cultural patri- mony are involved,the director, in addition to giving notice as required in subsection B,shall give notice to the tribes that occupy or have occupied the land on which the discovery is made and to the Arizona commission on ©2008 Thomson Reuters/West.No Claim to Orig.

E.The director shall respond to every report of a discovery in a timely fashion and within six months of being notified of the discovery,the director shall convene a meeting of notified persons and representatives of notified groups to discuss the most appropriate disposition of the discovered materials. At this meeting,the director shall encourage agreement among all participants regarding the most appropriate disposition and treatment of the ma- terials. An agreement may include a decision to curate or rebury materials subject to conditions or limitations,a decision to engage in scientific analysis before repatriation or reburial or any other appropriate disposition. If an agreement is reached, it shall determine the disposition and treatment of the materials and the director shall oversee its implementation. F. If no agreement is reached within six months of the meeting required by subsection E,the human remains or funerary objects shall be disposed and treated in accordance with the wishes of the nearest relative with a direct kinship relationship,or with the wishes of the governing body of the group with cultural or religious affinity to the remains or objects if no relative exists. If sacred ceremonial objects or objects of national or tribal patrimony are concerned, disposition and treatment shall be in accordance with the wishes of the governing body of the group with cultural or religious affinity to the objects. The authority to determine the disposition and treatment of remains or objects pursuant to this subsection shall not be exercised in a manner that would prevent timely completion of a construction project or other project. G. If there is no person with a direct kinship relationship or a group with a cultural or religious affinity to human remains or funerary objects and the remains have no scientific value,the remains or funerary objects shall re- main undisturbed. If it is necessary to move them in order to permit completion of a construction or similar project,the remains or funerary objects shall be reburied under the supervision of the director in a place as sim- ilar and close as possible to their original burial site. If the remains or funerary objects have scientific value, they may be curated by the Arizona state museum or other authorized repository for a period of one year,after which they shall be reinterred. If remains of American Indians are involved,reburial pursuant to this subsection shall be undertaken with the cooperation of the Indian tribe located nearest to the place where the remains were discovered.Reburial may,with that tribe's consent,take place on that tribe's reservation.The one-year period for scientific curation may be extended with that tribe's consent. If there is no group with a cultural or religious af- finity to sacred ceremonial objects or objects of national or tribal patrimony,the director shall decide on the most appropriate disposition and treatment. Where American Indian materials are involved,the determination shall be made in consultation with appropriate tribal representatives. H. A repository charged with the care or custody of human remains, funerary objects,sacred ceremonial objects or objects of national or tribal patrimony pursuant to this section shall maintain them with appropriate dignity and respect and with consideration for the specific applicable cultural or religious traditions applicable to the re- mains or objects. When materials are returned to relatives or affiliated groups,the relatives or groups shall ac- cept and undertake responsibility for the protection and security of the materials. I. The expense of any curation or reburial pursuant to this section that is required as the result of a construction project or similar project shall be borne by that project.

J. If a person believes that the provisions of this section have not been properly applied he shall give written no- tice of this claim to all other parties entitled to notice under subsections B and C.The parties shall meet within fifteen days of receiving the notice and attempt to agree on the designation of a third party to assist in the resolu- tion of the dispute. If the parties cannot agree within fifteen days on a third party,the state historic preservation officer shall serve in that capacity. The adverse parties shall attempt to reach a resolution with the assistance of the third party. If a resolution cannot be reached within ninety days of the designation of the third party,the third party shall resolve the dispute.Either party may appeal a decision within thirty days to the superior court in the county in which the subject of the dispute is located. K. If a written request for the reburial or repatriation of human remains,funerary objects, sacred ceremonial ob- jects or objects of national or tribal patrimony in the possession and ownership or control of an agency of this state,as of the effective date of this section,is made by the government of an American Indian tribe,the require- ments of this section apply as if the remains or objects had been discovered after the effective date of this sec-tion. L. Whenever two or more groups or tribes have affinity to the same human remains, funerary object, sacred ce- remonial object or object of national or tribal patrimony and they do not agree on the disposition or treatment of such remains or object,the question of which group or tribe shall be deemed to have affinity shall be resolved pursuant to subsection J. In making the determination, consideration shall be given to all the relevant evidence of affinity. M. For the purposes of this section: 1. "Funerary object"means an object discovered in proximity to human remains and intentionally buried or in- terred with the remains. 2. "Group with a cultural or religious affinity"means any of the following: (a)In the case of human remains or funerary objects,any tribe that has submitted a written claim of affinity pur- suant to subsection C or any other group or tribe that has cultural affinity in light of all the relevant evidence.

Overview The planned restoration of Steam Pump Ranch will be a prolonged process.This garden project is a way to begin this process soon even with limited resources.The objective is to introduce the community to the historical value of the Steam Pump Ranch,to generate public interest in the preservation and restoration of this ranch, and to encourage ongoing support of its master plan. Proposal The steps involved include the following: • Research historically accurate plantings • Design garden plans • Clear areas, install irrigation • Construct fences • Prepare soil for planting • Plant and maintain gardens • Organize educational tours • Develop Curriculum Reasoning This project has intergenerational appeal:young people will learn the benefits of growing food while also being exposed to local history; more mature populations can share their experience with gardening as many were involved with Victory Gardens and kitchen gardens in their youth. Multiple disciplines can be involved, e.g.,water conservation,soil sciences, botany,history, archaeology,the fine arts, etc. Specification • Located next to the Pusch Ranch House • $3,000.00 in materials per garden to begin • Volunteer labor coordinated by Joyce Rychener • Develop in partnership with the Town of Oro Valley r‘t-E k'1 < " . _r Office of the Town Attorney Memrandum To: All Town Boards and Commissio if Cir"..‘PFrom: Jose h N.Andrews,Chief Civil Dept ; Mack,Civil Attorney Copy: Mayor a or and Council; David Andrews,Town Manger; Jerene Watson,Assistant Town Manager;All Town Department Heads Date: October 9,2008 Re: Asking for legal advice As issues facing the Town become ever more complex and contentious,the ask for legal advice may become more common.In light of this fact,we felt need to g it im ortant to present some guidance as to when and how to request legal advice and Pal advice in the to explain some of the consequences associated with requesting legal context of a public meeting. The -clientprivilege is misundtood miru , we Y P would like to attorne be 'n with a brief overviewoften of privilegeers,particularlyor insconstthe governedso ment • separate concepts at work when communicating with an setting.There are two s p p attorney: confidentiality and attorney-client privilege. Confidentiality is governed by ethical rules ofprofessional responsibility set forth by the Arizona Supreme Court the . while attorney-client privilege is governed by statute.The ethical rules state that y P g informationg athered by an attorney regarding representation of a client is confidential l unless disclosure is permitted by the client.This includes conversations with the client,or any information garnered from other sources regarding the representation.There are certain exceptions to this rule,but generally speaking attorneys must protect their clients' confidentiality. Attorney-client privilege is a bit narrower in scope.Attorney-client privilege relates to evidence andP revents an attorney from being compelled to testify on communications between the attorney and client when the purpose of the communication was to seek or give legal advice, The client,of course,may waive the privilege a and allow the attorney to divulge information,and in some cases the pg may privilegebe broken if the client repeats the details of a conversation to a third party.Likewise,a communication is only privileged if it occurs between the attorney and the client; if a third party is present it destroys the privilege. FA:0th A CtmunkaionitAtivirihtallien awning ahic eg c The rules for an organizational client are a little different,but follow the same principles stated above.In the case of a governmental organization,the client is the government,not the individual officials or employees.In the case of the Town,the Town as a legal entity is the client,and the Town Council is the physical embodiment of that entity.Only the Council may waive privilege or give consent to the Town Attorney's office to disclose confidential information. Which brings us to the matter at hand:How should you and when should you ask for legal advice?As an initial matter,the Town Attorney's office works closely with staff and is usually aware of any pressing legal questions that involve the boards and commissions.The most preferable way to seek legal advice would be to relay your concerns to the appropriate staff so that they can approach our office for advice, or to contact one of us directly.Communicating legal concerns this way reduces the opportunity for a breach of confidentiality and allows our office the opportunity to address issues through memos or email prior to a public meeting.It also allows time to schedule an executive session in order for the entire board or commission to discuss the matter with one of the attorneys in a confidential setting. There are those situations,however,where a legal matter may arise in the course of a public meeting.Issues of parliamentary procedure,statutory or code language and legal procedure matters are routine examples of legal questions that come up in at meetings.These examples are not of concern.Questions regarding the legality of a proposed action and/or the potential liability of the Town or board/commission or its members,however,are very troublesome when posed during a public meeting for several reasons.First and foremost,the attorney may not feel they are able to respond as the advice needed should be communicated in a confidential manner. Second,if the attorney does answer and the board/commission takes action contrary to the advice given,the attorney has just provided evidence to the opposition in any subsequent law suits.Lastly,under either scenario the impression left with the public is that the board/commission has done something wrong or, at the very least,ill-advised and weakens the legitimacy of the action taken. As you are all aware,the Open Meeting Law provides an exception to the public meeting requirement in order for a public body to obtain legal advice.In the event you believe an agenda item will raise significant legal issues,please contact staff or one of the Town attorneys to determine if an executive session should be held. Legal advice is just that,advice.It is meant to aid you in making the difficult decisions you are faced with as a member of one of the Town's volunteer boards/commissions.The usefulness of that advice,however,can be greatly diminished if the circumstances in which it is sou&or given hinder the free exchange of information between the attorney and the client. �Page2 DRAFT MINUTES ORO VALLEY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION REGULAR SESSION September 8, 2008 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 RY4tours and other specific activities. One activity is a historic garden project proposed by �ijP the Oro Valley Historical Society (OVHS). Commissioner Spoerl introduced Joyce çRignorwhoommittee. The boarddeveloped hastheidea approvedandwho the proposalisamember thatof Msthe. RignorOVHS developedontheEducation 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 Draft 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. Rignor 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. Rignor 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. 2 September 8, 2008 Draft 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. Rignor 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 noi make an impact on our membership for National Reg ist ii- c{ A/1,'thlAAA,Cea \-\_ 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 Draft 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. 4 September 8, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes Scott Nelson will see about getting a contact person changed from Pamela Pelletier to a Commissioner. Commissioner Spoerl suggested membership needs a password to be able to access the online data base. Mr. Nelson would be the logical contact person. IX. Announcements. There were no announcements. X. Items for future agendas. - Implementation of Honey Bee Village Preserve Concept Plan. Xl. Adjourn. MOTION: Vice Chair Zwiener MOVED to adjourn the HPC meeting. Commissioner Spoerl seconded the motion. Motion carried, 6:0.

LA CANADA DRIVE I. Call to Order: at 5:02 p.m. II. Roll Call. PRESENT: Chair Bob Baughman Vice Chair Daniel Zwiener Commissioner Pat Spoerl Commissioner Patrick Foley Commissioner Valerie Pullara Commissioner Lois Nagy Also Present: Mayor Paul Loomis Council Member Salette Latas Scott Nelson, Special Projects Coordinator Mike Spaeth, Planner Sarah More, Planning and Zoning Director Diane Chapman, Senior Office Specialist III. Call to the Audience. Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident spoke about creating a sustainable community from the standpoint of matching successfully the 3 components of mixed use: residential with retail with employment. Mixed use projects are rarely if ever successful. Demographics are not matched up well, thus it falls apart. All citizens need to be aware of this. He encouraged the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to attend the Planning Commission meeting tomorrow night where this item will be on the agenda. There is an area within the 9,100 acres of Arroyo Grande that is considered to have significant archaeological value and is referred to as a cultural preserve. IV. Approval of Minutes. Mr. Nelson said there was a recommendation at the last meeting for Ms. Spoerl and Ms. Chapman to go over the minutes prior to approval. He asked that last month's and this month's minutes be carried over for approval at next month's meeting. V. Presentation by Marty McCune and Jerry Kyle, Skylark Consulting, re: Cultural Resource Survey for Town of Oro Valley. Marty McCune and Jerry Kyle, Skylark Consulting, gave a presentation on cultural resource surveys. They talked about what a cultural resource survey is and its importance October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes to the community. Their product is an inventory of resources and priorities for treatment. A cultural resource survey is a means to identify, evaluate and protect cultural resources. The process involves public volunteers and professionals. It is a process of gathering data, analyzing and interpreting it, and making it part of a comprehensive plan. Steps involved are: - Identification: looking at what you have, where it is, the time periods, and the relationship of the resources to historic context. - Evaluation: how to determine what is important. - Treatment: protection priorities, policies, tools, funding, and uses. The process includes a field survey which is a physical search for and recording of the cultural resources on the ground. It includes planning and background research, organization and presentation of survey data, and development of inventories. The benefits enable you to be forward looking and proactive in your preservation program and identifies areas where preservation needs to take place. It increases public awareness and appreciation for historic resources. It gives the opportunity to assess a wide variety of resources, such as landscapes, cemeteries, parks, ranches, etc. National Register of Historic Places criteria: - 50 years old Meets one or more of: - associated with events that contributed to broad patterns of history - associated with significant persons - architecture - yields or will yield important information Historic Context: - helps weave survey work together - provides historical background - identifies resource types that can be expected to be found - provides a framework for setting priorities - assists in planning survey work There are two levels of survey activity: - Reconnaissance: a broad overview of the community and resources, and focuses on identification of what is there. - Intensive survey: getting into more of an evaluation mode of the identified resources. Products from the survey: - Maps - Reports - Detailed inventories of resources - Recommendations for treatment and protection - General historical information about the community Tips: - Keep it simple - Use an inventory form 2 October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes - Get good advice and assistance - Evaluate, revise, and update - Keep it up to date Chair Baughman added a final step: circulate, take to schools, library, etc. Vice Chair Zwiener and Commissioners Spoerl and Nagy are working on an RFP and developing samples. VI. Discussion and possible action regarding Steam Pump Ranch (SPR). Regarding the historical garden, the major thing the Historical Society has done is contact people involved in water conservation and harvesting. Pima County will not propose a bond package for 2009. There are concerns about access and safety, so Mr. Nelson's preference is to proceed with the garden project to keep people involved, but do it offsite rather than at the Ranch for now. It will be a board decision. Mr. Nelson said when this was first talked about, it looked like we would have a bond package. With the economy, it may not happen soon. If we allow limited access, other groups will want to have access also. The site is not safe. The gardens may be able to be started elsewhere on Town property and later moved when the site is ready. There are still educational opportunities to keep the interest level alive. It will have to go to Council soon if it is going to be on Steam Pump Ranch. If elsewhere, and still be a pioneer garden, there may not be the interest in HPC being involved. Chair Baughman suggested continuing this agenda item to the next meeting. Mr. Nelson said there was a community garden originally pla ed between the library and the Community Development building, which may be a possible area for the gardens. Naranja Town site is another possibility. Mr. Nelson added we researched how the master plan was accepted. The language allows the Town Manager to make decisions on the site as long as it is in the master plan and as funding becomes available. The Town Council should also be kept informed. Chair Baughman asked for a member of the Commission to research the possibility of using Steam Pump Ranch as an Arizona Centennial project. Vice Chair Zwiener volunteered and will report back at the next meeting. Mr. Nelson gave a brief update on SPR. The emergency stabilization and clean up continues. The motor and gearing was replaced on the gate. ADOT Transportation Enhancement Grant will be heard before the State board this week and we should know something by the end of this week. The consultant forwarded a draft for the National Register Nomination, which was sent via email to the HPC. It will need to be sent to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with a letter from either staff or the Commission for their comment. This should happen this month. Chair Baughman asked that this go on the agenda for the next month. 3 October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes VII. Discussion and possible action regarding protocol for confidential information. There are cultural resources at Arroyo Grande that have been identified. HPC should develop an interest in that area once Arroyo Grande is annexed. Documents that come to HPC are public documents and some kind of protocol needs to be in place that addresses confidentiality to provide protection of cultural resource sites from the public. A memo was distributed from Attorney Mack about confidentiality. Cultural sites and privacy issues need to be addressed. Mr. Nelson and Attorney Mack, Vice Chair Zwiener and Chair Baughman will work on developing a draft to bring to the next meeting to prepare an amendment to the operating rules to send to Council for approval. Chair Baughman asked this be put on the next agenda. VIII. Discussion of Arroyo Grande cultural resources. The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding Arroyo Grande will be on 10/7, at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Commissioner Spoerl said the sooner the HPC considered what is known about cultural resources in AG the better and it should not wait until annexation. Council Member Latas said Arroyo Grande information is on line. The Planning and Zoning Commission will be considering the recommendation to Town Council of whether to accept the GP amendment. There is a section in special area policies dealing with cultural resources. Mr. Nelson pointed out this amendment is a request to change the GP as it exists today. There will be many opportunities for HPC to get involved. At this level it involves Planning and Zoning and Town Council. IX. Discussion of Honey Bee Village. Continued to next meeting. X. Discussion and possible action regarding HPC Work Plan. a. CLG Application SHPO had misplaced the CLG application, but finally found it and it will be going to Washington DC. We should receive a letter soon. b. Cultural Resource Inventory Plan c. Budget d. Community Outreach Commissioner Pullara has contacted schools to see what they are doing now and what they would like to see done. Citizens Planning Institute has some great material that may be used. She is putting together a plan and will share when ready. Chair Baughman cautioned that in contacting schools and other bodies, consider the plan with HPC before outside contacts are made. 4 October 6, 2008 Draft Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes e. Process Plan for Historic Designation f. Training Commissioner Foley had no report at this point. He and Mr. Nelson will look at possibilities for training. g. Santa Cruz Heritage Alliance Commissioner Pullara reported the next meeting is November 7th in Green Valley and she will be attending. XI.

Overview The planned restoration of Steam Pump Ranch will be a prolonged process.This garden project is a way to begin this process soon even with limited resources.The objective is to introduce the community to the historical value of the Steam Pump Ranch,to generate public interest in the preservation and restoration of this ranch,and to encourage ongoing support of its master plan. Proposal The steps involved include the following: • Research historically accurate plantings • Design garden plans • Clear areas, install irrigation • Construct fences • Prepare soil for planting • Plant and maintain gardens • Organize educational tours • Develop Curriculum • Reasoning This project has intergenerational appeal:young people will learn the benefits of growing food while also being exposed to local history; more mature populations can share their experience with gardening as many were involved with Victory Gardens and kitchen gardens in their youth. Multiple disciplines can be involved,e.g.,water conservation,soil sciences, botany, history,archaeology,the fine arts, etc. Specification • Located next to the Pusch Ranch House • $3,000.00 in materials per garden to begin • Volunteer labor coordinated by Joyce Rychener • Develop in partnership with the Town of Oro Valley
