\"I'm halfway through, out of 6 pages. So I am, 3 out of 6 pages left,\" Assistant Planner Yesenia Segovia said, describing the audit as \"very tedious\" and noting the list comprises more than 100 properties from the 1989 survey.

Segovia explained her process: she is double-checking addresses on the survey against the city's permit-tracking software and marking items that are not currently flagged. After Segovia completes the review, a supervisor will apply the flags in the tracking system. Staff estimated the process could take a couple of months.

Board members asked practical questions: what happens when a flagged property applies for a permit (staff said the application is routed for additional planning review), whether national Secretary of the Interior standards apply (staff said the code references those standards and agreed to follow up with precise applicability), and how buyers or realtors are notified (staff said such notifications typically appear in escrow or assessor records but agreed to research options for outreach and realtor notification).

Why this matters: Flagging properties in the permitting system means contractors and homeowners seeking permits for work on older, surveyed properties will trigger a review for historic impacts.

Staff will report back with confirmation about how Secretary of the Interior standards are applied, the timing of flagging in the permitting system and options for notifying realtors or buyers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07.07.25 Historic Resources Board Meeting of July 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning staff reported they are halfway through auditing the city's 1989 historic-resources survey and will flag properties in the permitting system so proposed work will receive historic-review checks.","taxTitle","Salinas, Monterey County, California","taxId",4681,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6586470,"Salinas HRB reviews limits on demolition authority, hears Brown Act guidance and demolition-by-neglect concerns",155,1747000,1902000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5499794-913ea9a3011cfcacb2aa2827fc4991fc&start=1747&end=1902","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5499794-913ea9a3011cfcacb2aa2827fc4991fc/thumbnail_1747000.jpg","/articles/6586470/Salinas/Monterey-County/California/Salinas-HRB-reviews-limits-on-demolition-authority-hears-Brown-Act-guidance-and-demolition-by-neglect-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586470-e6b4772ad85ec06e694f7a88aef8a6b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1776576715&Signature=Grt9LUSYpnYC4lEwVbBaGaPPLIjTtkgbPpPrE9V~X64toqqnK1HA25yqD6iUqtTaqkRv76LNiGle5KUhm0-hKJdKnzB348iNfixJ3-FsOVofkjG93QlzR44Zc~-3QY5Er47g3LF5xBODKAMamRYq6ozDLP2Naw03Ix~dbxF4~Q~mH9GvVFV1GIg-834ZhsbOrSkDJPWiMO~axL8LFBqjhavOHW9iIiRJT4bRX3JJENDgOCehL~MZhE16aVVrDGSALxaYddYHUJyml5ir~3sVxmBqKCmsKMuzGrQaNC-v94PbgVbPY9w1sbCdVdAcOitVxRxgQbubkh5HGmkd23honQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planning staff reviewed the Salinas municipal code and clarified the Historic Resources Board’s limited role in demolition reviews and preservation outreach during the July 7 meeting.

\"Section 3-02.04 really outlines the limitations of this body,\" said Grant Leonard, planning manager, as he scrolled to the municipal code language in the meeting packet. Leonard noted that demolition recommendations generally apply only to properties listed on the City of Salinas historic property survey.

Staff also reminded members about the Brown Act, California’s open-meeting law, and cautioned that serial communications among a majority of board members can create violations. \"You want to avoid serial conversations or group chat about items that could come before this board,\" staff said, adding that informal, general conversations about buildings are acceptable when not tied to an item expected to come before the board.

Board members raised multiple substantive points: whether the city can designate private properties as historic without owner initiation (staff said the owner must initiate designation, though the city may designate city‑owned properties), how demolition-by-neglect is handled in other jurisdictions, and the need to identify city landmarks. Staff said the survey update and Page & Turnbull work will inform any recommended local landmark or district designations.

Why this matters: The board’s ability to influence demolition outcomes depends on designation status; understanding Brown Act limits affects how members communicate and organize advocacy or outreach.

No formal change in code or policy was adopted at the meeting; members asked staff to return with information about existing city landmarks, designation procedures and how the new survey results will be used.","Planning staff reviewed municipal code limits on the historic board’s authority over demolition and explained Brown Act constraints on member communications.

\"But certainly happy to discuss Oakland's guide and then how we can either include it on our city website or include the other resources,\" said Grant Leonard, planning manager, describing materials included in the meeting packet. After discussion, the board voted to request that the planning department post the Oakland guide as an additional resource and to convene a subcommittee to consider other guides that could be adapted for Salinas.

Why this matters: Board members said Salinas currently lacks readily available, homeowner-focused guidance about rehabbing historic properties. Posting RehabRight would give residents immediate, practical information about identifying styles and appropriate rehabilitation approaches while the board works on a more comprehensive, locally tailored guide.

Discussion highlights included staff confirmation that Oakland is willing to allow the City of Salinas to link to or paraphrase sections of RehabRight with credit; board members recommended also reviewing guides from Spreckels, Carmel and Monterey County for complementary material. Board member \"Sal\" agreed to head the subcommittee; another volunteer was Board member Michael Masgay. The board described the subcommittee as led by two local architects to advise homeowners and builders before construction begins.

A roll-call vote to post RehabRight on the city website carried unanimously among members present.

Next steps: Planning staff will post the provided RehabRight PDF as a resource and the subcommittee will meet to identify additional materials to recommend at a future board meeting.","The board approved adding Oakland's RehabRight homeowner guide to the City of Salinas website as an immediate resource and formed a subcommittee to review other guides for local adaptation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6586479,"Salinas Historic Resources Board elects Michael Masgay chair, Eloise Shim vice chair",75,237000,312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5499794-913ea9a3011cfcacb2aa2827fc4991fc&start=237&end=312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5499794-913ea9a3011cfcacb2aa2827fc4991fc/thumbnail_237000.jpg","/articles/6586479/Salinas/Monterey-County/California/Salinas-Historic-Resources-Board-elects-Michael-Masgay-chair-Eloise-Shim-vice-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586479-5a907419df7c42f0ba4b3220388a2df9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776576715&Signature=WbnAYGPUiz-UGTLuyzyIZaaLARNsXtWiJdRB3pTqQU-8yjW8YKKC-PWpQlh-QfOa2oNNhRgg5mjcABIyzC5wHkmG56JB1LQPyJnDn3cR3-yKX7vP8~zuubdX-hZvsYl5Qdfc7Bc~rm9U4mo5rPIZmntUGhf3tEbXMw2N-0ecUT~mjFgKxa2kS45WN8GlhzoN-B4KG0jzXm8lbUh4pCmur-9TfaxQV~cRHUR2BmpHOK~Tar1LeqivtadcqOwnTu2vGgaG3lwJui2Mf3cVryae7NTfkxkGrLk8d15jHBC5c1LKrrpNsc1XQuPJfwjxguVlGkCul0IjD2nzOSk0jGi4vQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Salinas Historic Resources Board elected Michael Masgay chair and Eloise Shim vice chair during its July 7 meeting, the board announced after a roll-call vote.

The election followed nominations presented at the meeting. Board member Munoz moved to accept the nominations; Board member Callender seconded. In a roll-call vote, all members present voted yes and the motion passed.

Michael Masgay, newly installed as chair, thanked outgoing chair Larry Hirihara for his service. \"Thank you very much,\" Masgay said, adding that Hirahara had done \"an excellent job of his duties for 2 years. It'll be a hard act to follow.\" The board then passed the gavel to Masgay.

Why this matters: leadership determines committee and subcommittee appointments and sets priorities for the board’s work, including the historic-survey update, outreach materials and review processes for flagged properties.

Board members participating in the vote were Board member Munoz, Board member Callender, Board member Eloise Shim, Board member Michael Masgay and Board member Wadsworth; the outgoing chair, Larry Hirihara, presided during the roll call and congratulated the newly elected officers.

No amendments or further action were attached to the election. The board moved on to administrative reports following the installation of the new chair.

Looking ahead: Masgay indicated the board would continue work on outreach resources and subcommittees announced during the meeting.","The Salinas Historic Resources Board on July 7 elected Michael Masgay as chair and Eloise Shim as vice chair for 2025–26.
