SCHEDULED MATTERS  
None.  
OTHER MATTERS  
Discuss the 2021-2022 CLG Annual Report  
I.  
The HRRB discussed the CLG report. Sheila Lee Prader’s hours of training  
were omitted, and Salvador Muñoz indicated he also submitted training. Kellie  
Morgantini suggested that any member who had training not reflected in the  
report submit it to staff. Staff will update the CLG report and send the revised  
version with missing training to state parks.  
Sheila Lee Prader, referring to page 1 of the CLG report, Preservation Laws,  
“the County is in the process of updating the certified ordinance”. Phil will  
begin to have regular subcommittee meetings to work on the draft ordinance  
update. Craig Spencer created a draft. Belinda asked who is on the Historic  
Preservation Ordinance subcommittee: Phil Angelo confirmed the  
subcommittee is composed of Kellie Morgantini and Judy MacClelland, and  
Chair Scourkes. Chair Scourkes requested the draft ordinance emailed to all  
the HRRB Members.  
II.  
Discussion of ways to inform property owners regarding potential historic resources  
The HRRB discussed ways to inform property owners regarding potential historic  
resources.  
Chair Scourkes gave examples from past agenda items on how to be proactive about  
this issue. Mentioned that a presentation/meeting with the Board of Realtors would  
benefit the community to receive information.  
Belinda Taluban gave examples of how she has had instances with realtors where she  
has let them know the property is historic and the realtor does not want the potential  
buyers to know. Some realtors do appreciate the information given. She’s received  
comments from both ends of the spectrum. Agrees that education for the realtors will  
be ideal.  
Judy MacClelland suggested Chair Scourkes should reach out to the Monterey  
County Board of Realtors to proceed with a presentation.  
Kellie Morgantini remembers in the past having made a presentation to the Board of  
Realtors. Suggested publishing in some of the local newspapers to give tips to  
realtors/public.  
Chair Scourkes inquired about a house on Carmel Beach with a big rock, having work  
done and it has not come before the HRRB.  
Kellie Morgantini asked staff how to implement these tasks, Phil commented how the  
HRRB is tasked with assisting property owners regarding preservation.  
Belinda Taluban would like the HRRB to help support local training in the area, open  
to the public to provide more avenues of education in the matter.  
Kellie Morgantini recalls there is a section in the CLG report that states providing for  
adequate public participation in the local historic preservation program. She  
confirmed on page 9, there is a section that can be filled in to include public outreach,  
trainings, or publications taken by the HRRB. Chair Scourkes would like to make it a  
goal for this year.  
Sheila Lee Prader asked about a way to offer staff training for Planning staff at HCD.  
Phil agreed this would be beneficial if the HRRB wants to put the training together  
and have the staff attend or do it through CLG training and have the staff attend one  
of those trainings. Sheila attended a boot camp that focused on preservation, she  
wonders why the HRRB sees so few projects, maybe staff level needs more  
information as to what should be referred to the HRRB. Phil said if a qualified  
historian does not deem the property a historical resource the project does not get  
sent to the HRRB for review.  
Salvador Muñoz suggested there should be a red flag, any properties older than 50  
years need to be referred to the HRRB. Phil confirmed there is currently a section on  
the application request and if the property is 51 years old it almost always requires the  
historical report.  
Phil Angelo agrees a staff training would be very helpful to HCD Planning staff.  
Kellie suggested using a scheduled weekly staff meeting time be used for the HRRB  
training.  
Sheila Lee Prader suggested more than one training over a period of time if the  
training can only be done for one hour.  
Chair Scourkes asked for status on Grants, maybe budget $50k from Planning.  
Belinda Taluban mentioned asking her Supervisor regarding funding for HRRB.  
Michael Bilich asked what the Grant money was being spent on.  
HRRB will talk to their Supervisors regarding Grants.  
BOARD COMMENTS, REQUEST AND REFERRALS  
Chair Scourkes, Planning Commission rejected the bridge rail design. CalTrans needs  
to come back with something that’s existing.  
Chair Scourkes, updated the HRRB about the Walker House that was recently sold.  
Chair Scourkes, mentioned California Preservation Foundation conference in San  
Francisco in April coming up.  
Sheila Lee Prader thinks Meg may be able to do training for staff. Phil will reach out  
to her to see if she’d be available.  
Sheila Lee Prader asked about the Carmel Beach property that Chair Scourkes  
mentioned earlier in this meeting that is being heavily remodeled.  
Belinda Taluban mentioned that if the applicant needs to go back to get a new permit  
the project should need to be brought back to the HRRB.  
Phil mentioned if something is flagged for a new project they will contact the project  
planner. If something requires a design approval it goes back to Planning.  
Salvador Muñoz wants to know if the County has guidelines for ADUs in historical  
sites. Phil indicated the County does not.  
DEPARTMENT UPDATE  
None.

Meeting was adjourned by Chair Scourkes at 12:32 p.m.
