[Calclg-l] Preservation planners

[Wendy Ward]

Greetings to all CLG folks

I¹d like to know from CLG cities the following:
1. IF you have a dedicated preservation planner, how many historical
resources does this individual look-over? And what is the population of your
city/town? 
2. Does this planner collaborate with other planners on other projects or is
there enough work to focus solely on Historical structures?
3. Why was it deemed necessary to hire a preservation planner in your
community? 
4. How do you feel this person has benefited your historic resources, your
community 
5. Is there a synergy, good cooperation between this planner and other
departmental staff or is the planner seen as a hindrance?
6. Is it perceived that the costs for this focused planner has been worth
it? 
7. Is this planner being integrated into Green Building ordinance work?
8. --any added commentary you may feel necessary to add--

Thank you
