I don't know.

I might give you my opinion.

And this is the one they did in March 4th in this form use.

Yeah, I think it's a thought of the things.

I think that we should be getting back already.

Okay.

We have a quorum.

So welcome to the Historic Landmarks Commission meeting.

Following roll call during summary of hearing procedure, we will review how the public may provide comment during today's session.

Roll call.

Commissioner Kokora is absent.

Commissioner Cohen.

Here.

Commissioner Camuso is absent.

Commissioner Bainwell.

Commissioner Arnold.

Commissioner Golandari is absent.

And Chair Royer, I'm present.

Procedure for this hearing is as follows.

After the staff report, applicants and appellants may be a five minute presentation.

I'll um if you wish to speak on any item, complete a card and hand it to HBO Peak Edwards.

When I receive the speaker card, I will call you forward.

Each speaker will be given up to two minutes for public testimony, and speakers using translator will have up to four minutes at the discretion of the chair.

The time allowed to each speaker may be changed depending on the number of items on the agenda, number of speakers, and other factors.

Speakers using a translator will have double the time allotted.

After the public after the public testimony, the applicant may be make closing remarks for up to an additional five minutes.

Commissioners may ask questions of the speakers.

Response to commissioner questions will not reduce the speaker's time allowance.

The public hearings will then be closed, and historic landmarks commission will take action on the item.

The commission may request staff to respond to public testimony to ask staff questions and discuss the item.

If a commissioner would like a topic to be addressed under one of one of the good and welfare items, please contact planning staff in advance of the commission meeting.

All public records relating to an open session item on the agenda, which are not exempt from disclosure pursuant to the California Public Records Act that are distributed to a majority of the legislative body will be available for public emailing by emailing planning support staff at San Jose CA.gov.

At the same time, the public records are distributed or made available to the legislative body.

Before we begin, I want to remind the historic landmarks commission members, members of the public to follow code follow our code of conduct at the meetings.

This includes commenting on specific agenda items only and addressing the full body.

Public speakers will not engage in conversation with the commissioners or staff.

All members of the historic landmarks commission staff and the public are expected to refrain from abusive language.

Repeated failure to comply with the code of conduct, which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of this meeting, may result in removal from the meeting.

The meeting of the historic landmarks commission will now come to order.

Item number two is consent calendar.

Again, no items.

Item number three is public hearings, no items again.

Item number four is public is planning referrals, and again we have no items there.

So on to item agenda item five A, General Business, the City of San Jose Certified Local Government Report for 24 2024 to 2025.

And I'll turn it over to Dina Peak Edwards in a moment.

The recommendation here is staff recommends the historic landmarks commission review and accept the certified local government program annual report for the October 1st, 2024 to September 30th, 2025 reporting period.

Thank you, Chair Royer.

Um we have a couple of commissioners.

You are back again, but I don't know if you remember or you've forgotten, but um this is something we do annually.

The city is a certified local government.

Uh it's a nationwide uh program that encourages cities um to take an active role in identifying historic properties, registering or designating them, and then preserving them through things like their historic preservation ordinance and design review.

Uh it's a collaboration between uh a city or a county, the state of California, meaning the historic preservation office and the National Park Service, which oversees the National Historic Preservation Program.

Um we've been a participant since 1997.

And agrees, we agree in this, it's really an official kind of I suppose kind of legal document that's signed that says that we will enforce laws to help protect historic resources, maintain an active commission.

So part of the reporting is how many meetings commissioners have attended, um what kind of actions you've taken in terms of designating properties that's all reported, um, keeping an inventory of historic properties involving the public in preservation efforts and carrying out other responsibilities, like um there's federal uh money that's allocated by HUD to the city, which is the housing nerve and development that we allocate to um to individuals, and so we make sure that the money that we're giving doesn't impact negatively historic resources.

So we carry out those responsibilities too.

Um so each year we report on our activities, including updates to local laws, um, new designations, project reviews, commission activities and training, progress on surveys and inventories and other public outreach.

Um so as Chairboyer said, this particular reporting period is for October 1st, 2024 through September 30th, 2025, um attached to the packet online is the draft report.

Um, some highlights include adopting the San Jose Eichler neighborhood objective design standards, pardon me, adding two properties to the historic resources inventory.

Um we had our annual retreat in 2024 of October.
