The Salinas Historic Resources Board approved the minutes from its Jan. 6 meeting and directed staff to explore a local government membership in a California preservation organization that would provide continuing-education opportunities for board members.

Planning Manager Grant Leonard briefed the board on a proposed local government membership in the California preservation organization that would offer webinars and certified continuing-education hours.
