Register regulations go to public Issues in hearing; changes require scrutiny the News The California Registerof Historical Resources is moving into what is hoped to be its final phase of review. Proposed Regulations go before public hearings this fall. Last minute additions to the regulations, however, could derail the process. The CaliforniaRegister was cr�ated on September 27, 1992 when Assembly Bill 2881 became law. The Register is an authoritative listing to be used by state and local agencies and private citizens to identify the existing and potential historical resources of the state and to indicate which properties deserve to be protected from substantial adverse change. While many of the historical resources listed on the Register will be nominated through an application and public hearing process, the State Legislature provided that certain resources will be listed automatically. These include properties listed on, or formally determined eligible for, the National Register, and California Registered Historical Landmarks from No. 770 onward. While AB 2881 spelled out the processes that should be used to place resources on the Register, it did not create the official state rules for doing so. This is left to the regulations developed by the State Office of Historic Preseryation and the State Historical Resources Commission as part of the official "Rulemaking" process. As the Proposed Regulations were being put to bed, however, there were legal concerns that automatic listings without owner notification would be unconstitutional (although other states have registers with similar provisions that have been upheld). This resulted in the addition of sections requiring notification, and requiring the SHRC to hear property owners' objections to listing. These additions, however; exceed the provisions of AB 2881. As a result, there is a good chance the Proposed Regulations would be rejected by the State Office of Administrative Law. In that event the Regulations would have to be amended and resubmitted next year. In the interim, the Register would not be in effect. CPF strongly supports the Register program, but will ask at the public hearings for removal of the added sections. The first public hearing is September 27 in Sacramento. It is important that CPF members review the Proposed Regulations, submit comments to OHP c/o the California Register Coordinator by September 15, and attend the hearings. To obtain a copy of the Proposed Regulations or the Rulemaking Calendar for the California Register, contact the Office of Historic Preservation at 916/ 653-6624.

Sacramento College Library lost; state policies need review

by Kathleen Green, Sacramento Heritage

On July 10 the historic Sacramento City College Library was reduced to a patch of dirt. Despite alternatives proposed by local preservationists, CPF, the State Office of Historic Preservation and State Assemblyman Larry Bowler (R­ Elk Grove), the Los Rios Community College District demolished the building to make room for an expensive new learning resources center.

2 California Preservation Foundation Newsletter, Summer 1996 Michael Crowe President's Report - CPF

As CPF's new president, I am pleased to undertake this News new responsibility. CPF has a long tradition of able leadership and I will do my best to uphold it. The organization has recently undergone changes with a new executive director and office manager. However, the continuity that the board provides should assure all members that the organization will continue to provide you with the highest quality of service. With that said, I would like to outline what I see for the organization in the coming year. The Strategic Planning Committee, headed by our new vice president, Cassandra Walker, has drawn up a new way of approaching the tasks needed for the organization to function. This new method gives all the board members an opportunity to share the workload. I am very excited about this development and commend Cassandra and the Committee for all of the work that they put into fully developing the program. When I agreed to become president I gave some thought as to what I would like to see happen for CPF. In sitting through many board meetings and seeing how the organization functioned, I realized that we needed to do two things-expand our membership, and develop a financial plan to give us a firm basis from which to operate. I am pleased to say that what the Strategic Planning Committee developedfor board action will begin to address both of these issues. I am also pleased that the board is willing to rethink the way we do business and seek new methods of carrying out our responsibilities. Such an approach bodes well for the organization. Finally, I would like to thank you, our members, for your support. The board and I are very interested in hearing from you and being responsive to your ideas and suggestions. Please feel free to call us. I look forward to the coming year and the challenges it offers.
