[Sign-In Sheet Onfile with HPD] MINUTES OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO CULTURAL PROPERTIES REVIEW COMMITTEE October 15,2010 This meeting of the State of New Mexico Cultural Properties Review Committee was called to order by Chair Alan Watson at approximately 1:00 p.m. on the above-cited date, in the State Capitol, Room 311,490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Chair Watson characterized the CPRC as a statutory body charged with identifying and advising on the protection of the State's cultural properties. CPRC meetings are run by parliamentary procedure. He asked that the attendees follow those rules, sign in and turn cell phones off. A quorum was established with the following members present: Members Present: Members Absent: Alan "Mac" Watson, Chair Mark Mitchell Clarence Fielder Rick Hendricks Craig Hoopes Tim Maxwell Beth O'Leary Phillip Shelley Nancy Meem Wirth State Personnel Present: Sam Cata, Interim Director Terry Moody, HPD Tom Drake, HPD Dorothy Moore, HPD Michelle Ensey, HPD Robyn Powell, HPD Susan Hart, HPD Mona Valicenti, Assistant AG Harvey Kaplan, HPD [Sign-in Sheet onfile with HPD] REVIEWIAPPROVAL OF MINUTES August 13,2010 Member O'Leary asked for consideration to change the April 2011 meeting from the 8th to the 15th. Tom Drake, HPD, noted that there's an outreach opportunity in having the meeting in conjunction with the Heritage Preservation Alliance (HPA) conference which will be held in Las Vegas on April 6-10. Member Maxwell asked if this could be explored further and brought up for consideration at the next meeting. Chair Watson directed Mr. Drake to coordinate with the HPA and asked Dorothy Moore to list as an agenda item for the next meeting. Member Shelley moved to approve the August 13,2010 minutes as submitted. Member O'Leary seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT In the interim since the last general session meeting Chair Watson reported that he addressed and signed off on all correspondence, tax credit applications, and approved permits. On September 29th the Chair met with Interim SHPO Biella and HPD staff to discuss the GuadalupeICoyote Historic District nomination which was tabled at the August meeting. It was determined that HPD staff Dorothy Victor and Terry Moody would make a site visit to the proposed district in pursuit of the following goals: 1) to clarify ownership of certain contributing properties, 2) to begin to complete inventory forms for the contributing properties with the assistance of volunteers from the community, and 3) to explain the state register listing process and the effects of listing to the community members. Ms. Moody informed the Chair that a site visit is scheduled for November 5 and 6. Preliminary contact was made with the Coca family, requesting a visit to their property and the family declined. The Coca family does not support the nomination and will not allow anyone on their private property. Staff has been verifying ownership and determining which HCPI forms need to be completed. Member Maxwell asked if the community continues to feel that the proposed nomination is a government takeover of their property. Ms. Moody responded that they are concerned that the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management would open their property for public visitation. Member O'Leary moved to accept the Chair's report. Member Fielder seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote. STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER'S REPORT Samuel Cata, Interim Director, reported in the absence of the SHPO. Budget The budget has been cut several times and will be cut again before the end of the current fiscal year. Once the incoming administration is in place we will have a better idea of any additional changes that may be imposed. CPRC 15 October 2010 Minutesldcm Staff must maintain the essential programs for the SHPO and CPRC. Additional cuts could detract from HPD's mission essential projects. The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) and Department of Finance & Administration (DFA) will not allow the HPD, or any department or division, to expend more than 50% of the FYI1 appropriated budget for expenditures from July - December. In addition to the state general fund, the HPD has a variety of federal funding sources that were bound under DFA's rule. Many of HPD's functions occur during the first and last quarter of the federal fiscal year (Oct - Dec and July - Sept). HPD requested and received exception from DFA to expend its federal funds. Staffing Vacant staff positions have been filled, with the exception of the SHPO, who is appointed by the Cabinet Secretary with the approval of the Governor. Budget is in place for the second half of the year to fill the SHPO position. HPD had two interns over the past summer that contributed to the division with preservation efforts that included scanning State and National register files for the architectural component of the updated NMCRIS, which will be an integral new feature of the updated NMCRIS database. NMCRIS The updating of NMCRIS was funded by a legislative appropriation to upgrade and update the old NMCRIS application. A core function of the HPD is to maintain a cultural resource database. The improved NMCRIS has been online for two months and is working well but the system continues to be tweaked. The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) received extensive presentations and has been pleased. Upcoming: Legislation - Government Restructuring:Task Force [GRTF) The GRTF subcommittee report recommended creating a commerce department that would consolidate the Economic Development, Tourism, Workforce Solutions departments. The initial recommendation included the DCA which has since been removed. The GRTF recommendation is to consolidate the functions of many agencies into the DFA. The implication to DCA and HPD would be that the financial staff would be consolidated under the authority of the DFA. This would only move funds from one department to another and increase the time that it takes to process financial paperwork. The GRTF is recommending changing the CPRC from a policy making group to a technical advisory group to eliminate the review of every project. The CPRC has responsibilities under the Cultural Properties Act, the Cultural Properties Protection Act, the Historic Preservation Loan Act, and the Prehistoric and Historic Sites Preservation Act. Secretary Ashrnan and Mr. Cata spoke with the Chair of the GRTF subcommittee and legislators and will have a meeting with the Legislative Council Service (LCS) to remind them of the CPRC's responsibilities under the various Acts. They have received assurances that they will look at the DCA comments and the hope is that the GRTF recommendation for the CPRC will be removed entirely. The GRTF is CPRC 15 October 2010 Minutestdcm 3 seeking comments to the recommendation. Any changes would require legislative approval. Member Maxwell asked who they are seeking comments from. Mr. Cata responded that the LCS is accepting comments from the State Personnel Office, DFA, and a couple of other departments. DCA will provide its comments directly to DFA but the hope is that the GRTF will remove the recommendation and it will never get as far as DFA. By Monday the LCS will have the comments. Member Shelley asked if it would jeopardize the NPS grant. If the idea is to streamline it should be known that this will have the opposite effect and result in a major economic cost. Mr. Cata said he will be taking the negative impact to the LCS on Monday. Member Maxwell moved to accept the SHPO's report. Member Hoopes seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chair Watson asked for a motion that the following amendments be made to the order of business on the agenda: Following Item 5 (SHPO Report) on the agenda the order will be as follows: Item 8 - Tax Credits Item 9 - Permit Matters Item 7 - Committee Matters After the above items are addressed the committee will resume with Item 6 (Site Proposals). Member Fielder moved to accept the Chair's amendments to the agenda. Member Shelley seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote.

  • Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style
    Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style Ron Foresta Department of Geography University of Tennessee, Knoxville Abstract:The Santa Fe Style is an assembly of cultural features associated with the city of Santa Fe and its surrounding Upper Rio Grande Valley. The style, often dismissed as a confection for tourists because of its gloss and worldliness, is in fact a manifestation of reflexive regionalism. This overlooked cultural process occurs when worldly outsiders fashion regional traits into responses to the life challenges that they and their extra- regional reference groups face. In this case, outsiders fashioned what they found in early-twentieth-century Santa Fe into responses to challenges that accompanied the rise of American industrial capitalism. Threats to elite hegemony, the destruction of established lifeways, and the need for new perspectives on American society were prominent among the challenges to which the Santa Fe Style responded. Reflexive regionalism is thus the kind of cultural process that Regulation Theory posits but has found difficult to convincingly identify in the real world, i.e., one that adapts individuals and societies to periodic shifts in the logic and practices of capitalism. I examine seven individuals who made signal contributions to the Santa Fe Style. Each reveals a key facet of Santa Fe’s reflexive regionalism. Together they show how this process created the Santa Fe Style and, more generally, how it works as an engine of cultural invention. The key concepts here are reflexive regionalism, the Santa Fe Style, cosmopolitanism, Regulation Theory, the work of the age, and the project of the self.

    Oral history interview with John Gaw Meem, 1964 Dec. 3 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with John Gaw Meem on December 3, 1964. The interview took place at 785 Camino Del Monte Sol in Sante Fe, NM, and was conducted by Sylvia Loomis as part of the New Deal and the Arts project for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview SYLVIA LOOMIS: This is an interview with Mr. John Gaw Meem, architect, 785 Camino Del Monte Sol, Santa Fe, on December 3, 1964. The interviewer is Mrs. Sylvia Loomis of the Santa Fe office of the Archives of American Art. And one of the subjects to be discussed is Mr. Meem's participation in the Federal Art Projects of the 1930's and '40s. But first Mr. Meem, will you tell us something about your background, where you were born and where you received your education? JOHN GAW MEEM: Well, I was born in South America, in Brazil. My parents were Americans and my father was an Episcopal clergyman in southern Brazil. I was born in 1894. My father came from Virginia and he had gone to the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, for college work. I suppose because his father and grandfather and his great grandfather all went there so when the time came for me to come to the United States in 1915, it was natural that I went to the VMI as the fifth.

Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated the New Deal, a platform of social welfare and public works programs designed to assist struggling Americans and put them back to work.1 Numerous brick-and-mortar construction projects made a lasting impact on the built environment of the United States and especially of New Mexico, a state with inadequate public buildings. The New Deal had an extraordinary effect on New Mexico’s material landscape. The Public Works Administration (PWA) fi nanced 295 major projects throughout the state, including courthouses in Las Cruces, Santa Fe, and Portales.2 During a time of economic decline and unlikely growth, the PWA funded eight buildings on the campus of the University of New Mexico (UNM) alone.3 One building in particular has become a symbol for the state and a cultural and architectural icon of signifi cant proportions.

Staff levels will not increase in the foreseeable future. We have weathered furloughs and must redirect our work to maximize preservation of resources the best we can. It is now time to reassess the way we do business in the state so that we can continue to meet our mission of identifying and protecting New Mexico’s cultural resources, its rich archaeological record, innovative architectural and engineering achievements, cultural landscapes and diverse heritage. This is not to say the HPD has been unable to meet the challenge. In spite of a stalled economy and decreased oil-and-gas exploration, which in the past prompted a considerable amount the archaeological survey work that passes through this office , the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has more than made up the difference. Many of these worthwhile projects, which have already infused approximately $1.5 billion into the state’s economy, are creating jobs.
