Item
Application #Z91-1, filed by Salina City Planning Commission, requesting an
amendment to Section 42-472 consisting of a change in the membership of the
Salina Heritage Commission.
.Ba~k.~round
In September 1990, the city submitted an application to the state for
designation as a Certified Local Government. In early January 1991, we
received a letter from Richard Pankratz, Director of the Kansas Historic
Preservation Department (enclosed), regarding our application. It appears
that we meet all requirements for certification except the composition of
the Heritage Commission. At least 40% or 3 of 7 members must be
professionals in certain fields of work.
Propo.sed Amendment
In order to meet the above requirement, an amendment to Sec. 42-472 of the
zoning ordinance governing the membership of the Heritage Commission is
proposed. The amendment would meet the requirement of three qualified
professionals while giving the City Commission some added flexibility in
the various types of professionals eligible for appointment.
On January 31, 1991, the Heritage Commission approved the proposed
restructuring of the membership and on March 5, 1991, the Planning
Commission approved the proposed amendment.
Recommended Action
Approve on 1st reading the attached ordinance governing the membership of
the Heritage Commission.

RE' .%LG Application
Dear Hr. Dudark'
i have made a quick analysis of the Salina CLG application to ascertain
whether the ordinance and the commission would appear to meet the requirements
as established in the "Procedures for Implementation of the Certified Local
Government Program in Kansas." My initial feeling is that the ordinance will
meet the requirements.
The concern I have is the actual composition of the commission. After reading
the resumes and discussing them with you, I believe the comanission is at least
one professional short of meeting the certification requirements as contained
in section IV.B.3 on page 5 of the procedures. At least 40% of the commission
members must be professionals, such as architect, architectural historian,
archeologist, historian, planner, or landscape architect. Mr. Jordan meets
the criteria as an architect and it was your feeling that Ms. Lilly's resume
could be augmented to show us that she could meet the criteria. We discussed
several possibilities regarding how the third professional could be obtained.
We will wait to hear further from you before proceeding further with a formal
review of the submission.
I apologize for the tardiness of this review. The submission arrived while I
was in the midst of a lengthy absence. When I returned other more pressing
matters demanded attention so this review was delayed much longer than it
should have been.
We appreciate your interest in the CLG program and look forward to Salina
joining the four other Kansas cities that have attained that certification.
Sincerely yours,
Ric~ard"Pankratz, Director '
Historic Preservation Department
