Riverside <br />Drive <br />7:0:2 (Frazier <br />Absent and <br />McLoughlin <br />Abstain) <br />DISCUSSION <br />On May 13, 2021, the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) recommended that the <br />City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the above referenced Mills Act <br />agreements with the identified property owners for historic structure(s) in the City, <br />subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />This action allows for the approval of a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills <br />Act Contract), which provides a property tax reduction whereby property owners agree to <br />reinvest the tax savings towards the maintenance of the historic property. Additionally, <br />the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations to the protected historic structure(s).
