Notable <br />examples of the 10-year plan include floor refinishing, door and window restorations, gate repairs and <br />restorations, and ongoing maintenance. <br />EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT <br />The Mills Act Contract program was created for, and remains open to, all properties that meet Redwood <br />City’s historic designation criteria. The program will be further studied in 2026 as part of the work program <br />item to update the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. Staff will determine how best to assess <br />equitable access and outcomes as part of this work. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Approval of a Mills Act Contract reduces the annual property tax collected by the City. The fiscal impact is <br />minimal and acts as an incentive to maintain and improve the City’s aging housing stock. <br />9.A. - Page 6 of 247 <br />264
