LESLIE HEUMANN <br />Historic Resources Consulting Services <br />June 19, 2013 <br />Ms. Hally Soboleske, Associate Planner <br />Planning and Building Agency (M-20) <br />P. 0. Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br />Via email (hsoboleske@santa-ana.org) <br />Subject: Proposal to Provide Historic Resources Consulting Services, Historic <br />Resources Commission, City of Santa Ana, California <br />Dear Hally: <br />Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to prepare and present two <br />educational workshops for the City of Santa Ana (City) Historic Resources <br />Commission (Commission) and the public. It is understood that these two <br />workshops will be part of a series of three, and that the purpose of all three sessions <br />will be to train and inform the Commission, staff, and public as well as to provide a <br />common frame of reference for decisions undertaken by the Commission. The <br />approach will assume that the intended audience has limited background in the <br />subject. It is also understood that one of the three workshops will be presented by <br />the City Attorney and will focus on Chapter 30 of the Municipal Code, the City's <br />Historic Preservation Ordinance. <br />The following scope of work encompasses the remaining two workshops. One <br />workshop will cover the legal underpinnings of historic preservation in California, <br />including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 106 of the <br />National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) as well as other important laws and <br />regulations that govern the practice of preservation in Santa Ana. The second <br />workshop will provide an overview of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for <br />the Treatment of Historic Properties, with specific focus on the Standards and <br />Guidelines for Rehabilitation, and discuss how and when they are applied in the City. <br />The presentations will be in the form of PowerPoint slides, and will include enough <br />explanatory text to enable the printed presentation to be utilized in the future as a <br />stand-alone educational handout. <br />Each workshop will last approximately one to two hours, with time allowed for <br />questions and answers and discussion. It is further understood that local <br />preservationists may be invited by the City to assist with the planning and/or the <br />presentations. It is anticipated that the workshops will take place during October <br />and/or November 2013.
