Adopt the Citywide Historic Preservation Plan, including the list of historic and D155 potentially historic properties. Elisa Stipkovich, Community Development Executive Director, reported City staff, with input from the Historic Preservation Committee had drafted a comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan that identified and clarified structures of historic interest within the four existing historic districts as well as identifying other historic structures not located within those districts. She pointed out there were 109 structures eligible for further consideration outside the historic districts in which property owners could come in and request to be considered formally on the list and become eligible for the Mills Act. She noted the list identified three historically significant homes outside of the districts which were either on the national or county register of historical places: the White House on Anaheim Boulevard, the Stanton Home and the Ramon Peralta Adobe in Anaheim Hills. Those three properties, she added, would become historically significant for the City as well. The Plan would be voluntary with no mandatory guidelines with the exception of a sixty day delay in the issuance of a demolition permit for a listed historic property to allow for the community to explore a mutually acceptable alternative to demolition of a historic structure. Mayor Pringle remarked this Council had been aggressive in creating tools such as the Mills Act for this program and adding historic districts in which the Mills Act could be utilized. He thanked staff for making this Plan a high priority. Council Member Galloway thanked the Ad Hoc committee for their efforts, emphasizing her pleasure in the Plan document with its pictures, explanation of architectural design and history. Council Member Hernandez asked that the Committee members be introduced and recognized for their efforts (Committee members in the audience stood for recognition). Council Member Kring congratulated all involved and was particularly pleased that the Peralta adobe home had been kept intact for future generations. Council Member Sidhu also expressed his thanks to the committee and staff. Council Member Galloway moved to approve Item No. 12, seconded by Council Member Hernandez.

Marcie Edwards, Public Utilities General Manager, reported AB 2021 became law in 2006 and required governing bodies of public utilities to establish a rolling ten -year energy efficiency and demand reduction goal as well as provide regular reports to the California Energy Commission (REC) regarding progress in meeting those goals. In 2007, Council approved the goal of .6 percent of forecasted retail sales, a goal that was required to be updated every three years. The new goal now being recommended to Council for approval was .94 percent which the Department believed could be achieved by expanding rebates for purchase of energy efficient appliances, more traffic signal retrofitting and variety of lighting efficiency incentives.
