Perhaps we could put Steam Pump early in the agenda given the number of new developments there and so that Gary can make his presentation early in the meeting. I have called Gary and he confirms that he can be there. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks.

I will be on a Arizona State Department of Education Solutions Team visit to the Yuma School District. It looks the photos that were found will be in good hands and that will need to discuss this at our next commission meeting,therefore as part of the agenda either specifically or as an item under Steam Pump generally. Also related to the proposed agenda,would you like to see if we can get Gary Faulkenberry,the person who helped out at Steam Pump last Sunday,to come before the commission to discuss his ideas concerning public school involvement in creating items related to Steam Pump? Specifically, he can talk about his industrial education classes designing and making pens and pen sets from wood at Steam Pump with the school's laser engraver. I think he would be prepared to bring some examples. He could also talk about the involvement of local schools in similar projects involving wood frames,furniture and other items. He also mentioned the possibility of organizing student internships through the local schools for working at Steam Pump. I have to go. More work to do. Dan Dan I like the idea of Mr. Faulkenberry participating in the Feb 9 regular meeting. See if you can have him show up a little after 5pm. Let Paul know the results so it can be included on the agenda. Thanks for the very good work on SPR. Bob Bob Baughman Oro Valley,Arizona 85737 01/29/2009 Page 1 of 1 Cha man, Diane Yw ..,.

The truck could be used for many special events including being used in the annual holiday parade. You all can work out the details but I think it would be nice if the truck were painted the Town colors and had the Town seal and Steam Pump Ranch written on it. As I mentioned, Councilmemeber Garner suggested working with the Amphi School District's vocational tech programs to help minimize the costs. As always, please let me know if I may be of assistance.

The site has some very sensitive areas, and the Historic preservation Commission is concerned about any potential vandalism or damage to the site. Areas like this are not open to the public, and their location is kept as confidential as possible. I am writing to request that you consider extra patrolling or monitoring of the area to watch for any suspicious or inappropriate activities. I would be happy to share more detailed information should yo have any questions. Thank you, Amy, for your help with this.

What I would like is for the "regular" session to be at 5 pm on January 12th, and then a "study session" convened on the same date at 6 pm. I recommend setting up the council chambers with the tables in a square on the floor and the remote recording system. There is no point in having two separate dates. Ainsley, Paul will now be the primary staff liaison with the HPC. I think the HPC works best when reacting to something. You and I have discussed that there might not be a need for a formal SOP on this, but Bob will continue pushing for it. If you two could put your heads together sometime next week(I'd be glad to join in) on this I would appreciate it. Paul will be out Dec 22--Jan 2, and agenda packet due out Jan 5th Sarah S.

LA CANADA DRIVE I. Call to Order: at of after 5:00 p.m. II. Roll Call. Others: Council member Latas, Ainsley Legner, Bill Adler III. Discussion of Standard Operating Procedures for Steam Pump Ranch. Chair Baughman gave a brief statement of the reason for the Study Session to discuss the SOP for Steam Pump Ranch (SPR) and working with Parks and Rec to develop basic processes for daily operations of SPR. To gether information from participants. Ainsley Legner had suggestions of what Parks does. Paul Popelka gave a handout to the Commission that summarized what has been pulled from several documents of what has been done at SPR. He had some basic guidlines for what he fel should be done. HPC Code sets for basic purposes. About maintain historic properties. Objects of code are to reach out to citizens and educate. Promote public awareness. IGA with Pima County describes within SPR what is allowed in keeping with hisotrical nature of property. Anything we do has to be in compliance with Secretayr of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation. Public events need to have County recognition. Deed of Preservation easement. Maintaining, accessible to public, public participation, outreach. CLG agrement. more general Paul went over all the items listed in his handout. Public participation is very important. Funding priorities for survey. Outreach to public. Add: Cultural assessment done as part of MP contract by Desert Arch. One SOP is that is any resources are found the standard should say that you stop immediately and go thru SHPO to deal with. Chair one other document to include in background is the Master Plan for SPR. Commisisoner Spoerl said ass OV General Plan which has an archaoelogical element. http://orovalley.granicus.coin/MinutesViewer.php?print=l&clip_id=552&doc_id=e0e857... 02/03/2009 Historic Preservation Commission Page 2 of 4 Ainsley Legner: Park s & Rec has been involved on the property (headed up by James Gardner, managing supervisor over ground operations) All the work has been safety ordinances to improve the ground. Tree and schrub trimming, brush removel, pool drained and fences, hazardaoug above ground utilities removed, debris of dead veg. removed. Fire safety removal of dead vegatition. That type of stabilazation and maintenance. Have not dug holes, construction, site , fencing property and pool only, No programing on property. Sensitive to HP issues. Reminded HPC that Parks & Rec Advisory board drafted and sought Council to initiate HPC. Maintain and respect Historic preservation. Can provide draft of what they should do if desired. Bill Adler commented that operating procedures and he didn't know why HPC would want to be involved in the operation other that how Parks is already doing. Perhaps provide a report to HPC, but not having to take an active part. Creation of activities on property, OVHS will help with activities. A report would be good. Understanding what current procedures are is best. Would not want to involved Commission in something that is already working well. Becoming aware of procedures would be the first thing needed to do. Start with what is already in place. Chair agrees about report being needed. How things are done at different parks needs to be looked at. Looking for setting pirameters of the way things are done. Approves of the way Legner is already doing things. He wants to be more in the chain of the way things are done. Perhaps get a list from Legner of what she does / Latas history of why this came about. Short term issues, i.e. rodent infestation, roof collapsing, etc. Later met with Ainsley and James and put together a plan to clean up property, a cost estimate and then did it. Separating out trash from treasure. Commissioner Spoerl talked briefly about what was found in chicken coops when they were cleaned. Documents were found dating from 1929 to 39 photo album. Did some emergency treatment. 5 or 6 garbage bags of documents, ledgers from pioneer hotel, bonds 1881, 1 tin photograph, basebale parifinalia, lots of material that needs to be inventoried. Challenge is what to d with it. Pat notified people who should know what to do with the photos, etc. to preserve. She thinks there needs to be a SOP on how to take care of things. Who should be notified first. Money spent? All needs to be met with process that doesn't loose historical integrity. Commissioner Nagy added there is a great deal of document material found and they were put in large garbage bags to keep together. You have to go through documents ones by one to see what vintage they are. Will take many man hours to preserve. Protective gear will need to be worn. SPR has no working toilet at this time, so you have to go off site. No one should have to work there alone either. http://orovalley.granicus.com/MinutesViewer.php?print=l&clip_id=5 52&doc_id=e0e85 7... 02/03/2009 Historic Preservation Commission Page 3 of 4 (Portapotty needed) other items, not paper were placed in the bunkhouse, ie glassware, bottles, traps, etc. Chair said we are on the correct process, identifying things that need to be addressed, and then developing a draft. This should be turned over to Legner and Popelka to draft a series of procedures to deal with needs addressed. Latas asked if there was a restroom in the tack building. Maybe that could be turned on if there is. Issues brought up are unique to SPR. Do a one page memo of what needs to be done and also give Ainsley ideas of what to do. Bill A. "operating", he says there are unique situations at park that need to be taken care of but does not qualify as operating a park. Storage areas are important for saving items found. Operating is not the care of materials found and storing them. Separate operating from preserving. Chair developing the process of people who are working there and what they will follow. Ainsley - getting idea of what you would like to drive toward and can put together something to present. GEt something from county, etc. Pat had in mind not SOP on how a park operates, but how to deal with items found. Concerned about process and commissions role in town's decision making re SPR. Nat'l Registration Nomination, etc. Commission does not see many things before done. What role is, who makes decisions, who to consult with, Valera arrived at 5:50 p.m. Chair if we develop a draft and address that, the Commission can develop answer to questions Pat has. Town Manager or TC can answer questions. Will need a background document for reasons questions came up. Pat Town staff is in a better position to do check list of who to talk to or have do something. Identifying checkpoints and knowing how process works. Paul P. we can respond to issue tonight ie procedures, guidelines. What role of commission is in reviewing plans, construction process, etc. There are check points that we may need to come to HPC first. Patrick what would have happened if we didn't have archaoelogists, particularly chicken coops. Ainsley Parks wasn't involved. Staff has been very careful. Scott Nelson would have the answers. Patrick if Parks has authority on historic sites, they should develop procedures beyond standard parks. http://orovalley.granicus.com/MinutesViewerephp?print=l&clip jd=552&doc_id=e0e857... 02/03/2009 Historic Preservation Commission Page 4 of 4 Ainsley every park property Town owns has had archaeological review and she has the documentation that has been done. Both developed and undeveloped. Chair turn process over to Ainsley and Paul. Salette there is a joint SS with TC in a few weeks. That may be a good time to have a draft for the TC to review. Paul would bring a draft to regular HPC March meeting for review. May be able to take action at that point. Chair we may need to just raise issue with TC and let them know we are working on procedure so they are aware. Salatee slides of artifacts would be great to show. Chair we can provide photographs of items found. Nagy could bring trap that was found. All hand made. Bottles, etc could be shown. Chair will expect a draft report at the HPC March meeting, with a sample of photgraphs at the Feb meeting. Chair thanked all for taking time tonight. SS adjourned at 6:05 p.m. IV. Announcements. V.

Note from our State Historic Preservation Office: HP Grant Recipients: Most of you are aware the Arizona State Legislature is in the process of resolving a $1.5 billion dollar budget shortfall for the remainder of fiscal year 2009 and a $3.5 billion dollar shortfall for 2010. All State Agencies are being hit hard and the affect to State Parks will be crippling. It appears all of the State Parks administered state funded grant programs will be discontinued until further notice. All work on Historic Preservation Grant projects is to stop immediately, effective February 1, 2009 (especially if HP Grant funds are critical to the completion of the project) . I need your Grant Reimbursement requests no later than 2/13/09. . Any project expenses incurred after 2/1/09 will not be reimbursed - doing otherwise could jeopardize the entire reimbursement. Some of you have completed your project, please send the closeout documentation by 2/13/09. The Governor and the Legislature have already passed a budget. The State Parks Board is holding an emergency meeting on Tuesday 2/3/09 to determine the fate of the grant programs, existing grants, and State Parks personnel. Information on the Parks Board Meeting has already been forwarded.

(Not Required) The Steam Pump Ranch on North Oracle Road in the Town of Oro Valley, Arizona, represents a living piece of the history of the area. The history and operation of Steam Pump Ranch provides a critical link to the historic regional transportation corridor from the 1870's -1930's. This historic site became one of the most important stops along the corridor from Tucson to points north for almost a century. The ranch remained active well into this century for watering livestock, standing as an historic icon along Oracle Road(now State Highway 79) for over one hundred years. The proposed project would restore the historic appearance of ranch structures through accurate restoration,meeting the Secretary of Interior standards. We envision the Steam Pump Ranch to become a featured historically significant regional resource. The historic preservation of this site is a regionally cooperative effort by Pima County and the Town, with the support of the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office. The Town has proposed the completion of this project to be the subject of the next Pima County bond program. Due to the current state of the economy, the bond election which was scheduled for 2008, then delayed to 2009, is now uncertain. While the Town has adequate resources to prevent further degradation of the site on a short- term basis,the buildings are in disrepair and in need of significant restoration efforts to preserve them for the long-term. The Town and Pima County do not have the resources to complete this work. Arizona State Transportation Enhancement project funding is highly competitive and uncertain. The preservation of this site has benefits beyond the Oro Valley Town limits. Currently, there are no facilities within the Town to exhibit artifacts in order to educate the public about the rich historic resources of the area. The rehabilitation and preservation of Steam Pump Ranch will address this clear need to educate the public about their historic resources. Oracle Road has continued its role as a route for commerce,but in a modem sense. The Steam Pump Ranch is a unique outpost of historical commerce on the route. The site will be a part of the Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area(pending congressional approval)with other historical sites in the Town, including Catalina State Park and the Honey Bee Archeological Preserve. The Heritage Area will bring economic development& tourism to Oro Valley, while the project will bring a tangible reminder of an important history of Southern Arizona. The Steam Pump Ranch will tell the story of the area from Native Americans,ranch life, Territorial commerce, and military activities. It is a project that has been carefully planned to be economically sustainable into the future. 6 Introduction and Overview -fit s .' Residents of the Santa Cruz Valley in Southern.
