6.B. - Page 18 9. Preserve America Application Vice-Chair Gernand stated that letters to a list of individuals and groups were prepared from the Mayor for support/endorsement. The letters were not sent since they did not go before the City Council. Ms. Jabba stated that the actual application is about two years old and needs to be updated. She volunteered to review the application and make any necessary changes, and she will also review the draft letters of support. Committee member Eakin will be the designated point person to carry application through. Vice-Chair Gernand will assist with the letters from organizations and bodies within Redwood City as well as State Assembly Members, State Senate, and Congress to assist in the application process. 10. Framework for Decision Making Ms. Jabba provided background on the document, which she assembled during her time as a member of the Committee. She stated that was created by compiling existing documents such as the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation to assist the HRAC in making decisions. Mr. Rhoads recommended that the City Attorney review the document for advice on whether such a document needs to be formally adopted by the HRAC, Planning Commission, or City Council. Chair Rolandelli requested that the following documents be added to the end of the document under the "Other Relevant Documents" section: the Union Cemetery Historic Site Project Proposal Process, Cultural Resources Management Plan, and the Historic section of the Downtown Precise Plan. 11. National Historic Preservation Month Chair Rolandelli reported that the Committee has insufficient funds to pay outstanding invoices for the 2013 tours. Chair Rolandelli asked if the City was able to fund part of the invoice payment. Mr. Zack said he would look for any such opportunities. Mr. Rolandelli suggested that next year's fundraising efforts begin earlier to allow more time to generate the funding necessary for the event. 12. 147 Birch Vinyl Windows Mr. Zack gave some background regarding this item. Staff was alerted that the owner of the property, a small 2-story apartment house, was replacing the original wood windows with vinyl windows. Staff told property owner to stop the work, but were directed by the Community Development Director to allow them to proceed with the window replacement. At the next meeting of the Committee, Mr. Zack will provide a report explaining in greater detail why the replacement was allowed. Committee member Rhoads stated that the Committee should learn the implications of the changes to the Title 24 energy code as they relate to window replacements, which may pose a problem in such instances. 13.
