[Calclg-l] Preservation planners

[PLG-Charles Jany]

1)Redwood City does not have an urban planner whose time is dedicated solely to the field of historic preservation. The population of Redwood City is currently 76,000 (State of California Department of Finance 2005 -- Still looking for the latest figure).

8)Redwood City does have a planner who is highly "dedicated" to the cause of historic preservation...of course.

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
Wendy Ward
