Unknown 6:11

Hello, everybody. So I apologize that this has taken six months to get around, but I just kept either not getting on the agenda or not getting to it. So I wanted to give a quick update of the things that I experienced at the conference for the California Preservation Foundation conference in May in Sacramento that I attended with Commissioner Vargas Smith and Commissioner Sark. In Sierra. Geez, I just blanked out. I'm so sorry, Yvonne. Okay. And so um the one that hit me the most that I was nearest and dearest to my heart was uh the discussion on historic districts. And there were many different municipalities that came and spoke at all different um Points in their process. Some were brand new and just trying to figure out how many historic resources they even had.

Unknown 7:10

Some were kinda in the middle like we are. And thinking about maybe doing districts and we have a process in place at our inventory. And then kind of the gold star was Sacramento. So I decided to choose them as kind of a North Star of all the things you could see that they did. Doesn't mean that it's necessary everything that we want to do, but it's a it I thought it had a good approach of using all the levers that they could pull.
