Lands Legacy Action Plan update presentation: Kim Livingston, DEAPR Land <br />Conservation Manager, provided an overview presentation and summary of the Lands <br />Legacy Program. She is in the process of updating their existing Action Plan, which <br />covered the period 2014 to 2017. Since the start of the program, the county has <br />expended $17.5 million on land protection projects, with $8 million leveraged from <br />partners. Private landowners have contributed property valued at $1.2 million. The <br />BOCC continues to commit funding to make this an ongoing program. The matter of <br />ongoing funding for archaeology was discussed. Kim asked members to review their <br />comments from 2013, to see if they are still valid or if the HPC wants to make <br />adjustments to add or remove items from the list. One suggestion was to have Kim <br />share her list of priority properties so that the HPC can determine if any of those have <br />special cultural resource value that might enhance a land protection project and/or <br />improve funding prospects. She needs our input soon. <br /> <br />b. Scheduling for joint public hearing with BOCC for landmark designation of Dr. <br />Arch Jordan House on 12/4 or 12/12: <br />Staff reviewed the timeline for holding the public hearing for the Dr. Arch Jordan <br />House. Members agreed that it will be best to hold the hearing on Dec. 4; most can <br />attend. A quorum will be essential. <br /> <br />c. Interest in combining December meeting with BOCC meeting: <br />Members discussed this option and agreed to hold our regular meeting on Dec. 4, <br />right after the joint public hearing, in the small meeting room in the Whitted Building. <br />
