City Council Minutes Exhibit A
Date: �,c�+w►kw1 f �! `f
I'm Richard Snouffer, 5220 Aguila Ave.
I've started working for the Census Bureau, get ready at the local level for the next
nationwide census.
Census data by law must be updated every 10 years. It will be collected next spring
and summer. The Census Bureau hopes that many people will complete their census
forms on-line, by phone, or by mail, but there will still be a need for local, individual
census takers to knock on doors to help some people fill in the forms.
I'd like to ask the city to support the Census Bureau in any way possible. We may ask
to use conference rooms to train census takers. We will need to identify where folks
can get access to computers to complete their surveys.
Accurate census data is important for many reasons. For example, it helps local
businesses, the planning commission, schools, and so on to make good decisions about
growth and investments in our community.
The Census Bureau needs to hire roughly 500 people here in the North County for
short term work as "census takers". We need people to apply right away for the work
that will be done in the Spring. The pay is $20 per hour and the hours are flexible.
Anyone interested simply needs to go on-line to the website 2020census.gov/jobs or
call 1-855-562-2020 for more information.
I'll be happy to answer any questions. Thank you.

Why Become a Certified Loca
Government (CLG)?
What's in it for the local jurisdiction? Why would you want to associate your local preservation program with state
and federal programs? Would you be giving up autonomy?
Credibility
When your local preservation program is consistent with federal and state standards and regulations you have the
backing of programs that have stood the test of time. The National Historic Preservation Act has been around since
1966. The National Register of Historic Places and its criteria are widely recognized and they have been tested
legally (reviewed, refined by adoption into regulations, tested and upheld in courts). Although the California
Register of Historical Resources is much newer (1992), its criteria and procedures parallel the National Register.
When your local survey and designation program is consistent with the National Register and California Register
you know you are on safe ground. Similarly, in project review or adoption of Certificates of Appropriateness, the
adoption and use of the Secretary of the interior's Standards provides criteria for project evaluation that, again,
have stood the tests of time, reasonableness, and the courts. It insulates the local preservation program from
charges of being arbitrary and capricious. Becoming a CLG provides the local program the added value of prestige
and cachet.
Technical Assistance
A perquisite for becoming a CLG is access to a listsery hosted by the State Office of Historic Preservation.
Membership to the listsery is limited to SHPO staff, CLG coordinators, members of CLG boards/commission, and
other interested staff in the CLG. It is a communication tool that offers the Office of Historic Preservation and CI -Gs
the opportunity to submit suggestions or questions to other members of the listserv. SHPO staff also uses the
listsery to forward information about training opportunities, publications, grants, and a variety of technical
assistance to CI -Gs.
Streamlining
The use of the National Register/California Register criteria and the Secretary of the Interior Standards integrates
local, state, and federal levels of review. It brings clarity to the question of what resources are significant when it
comes to CEQA and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Adopting the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards will allow the use of categorical exemptions under CEQA, and likely result of findings of no adverse effect
under Section 106. The use of these criteria and standards make environmental review faster, more efficient, and
reduces costs and delays.
Involvement
The CLG program brings local preservation boards and commissions into broader land use planning and project
approval processes. CLGs are obligated to involve their boards/commissions in the CEQA and Section 106 review
process, as well.
Funding
Each state is required to pass through 10% of its annual Historic Preservation Fund grant from the National Park
Service to CLGs to fund their preservation activities. In California, the CLG grant program is competitive for a wider
variety of preservation planning activities. This funding is not a large amount, but it can support important activities
including completion of a preservation element or plan, a survey, preparation of a National Register district
application, or the update of an ordinance. When work is carried out under the CLG grant program, there is the
assurance that the work conforms to time -tested state and federal standards.
Autonomy
When your local governments decides to become a CLG, it agrees to carry out the intent of the NHPA and the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards. OHP's role is advisory. Recognizing that individual local governments and
individuals employed by those local governments often do not have all the background, training, and skills to
achieve a good balance between development and preservation, OHP reviews the structure and processes of the
local preservation program, and may comment on or make suggestions about strategies a local government can
use to accomplish its goals and objectives. Beyond that, neither the NPS nor OHP have any regulatory authority
over local governments.
Neither the NPS nor OHP dictate the content of historic preservation plans or ordinances; neither the NPS nor OHP
review nor is their approval needed prior to the selection and appointment of individual local preservation
commissioners by local government officials. In no way is the autonomy of a local government decreased by
becoming a CLG. However, a CLG may be decertified if it establishes policies or adopts practices that violate the
intent of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Economic Benefits
Although there are no direct economic benefits to being a CLG other than the opportunity to compete for CLG
grants, your CI_G's commitment to historic preservation does result in multiple economic benefits. Where
preservation is supported by local government policies and incentives, designation can increase property values
and pride of place. Revitalization of historic downtowns and adaptive reuse of historic districts and
buildings conserves resources, uses existing infrastructure, generates local jobs and purchasing, supports small
business development and heritage tourism and enhances quality of life and community character.
