# Preservation Commission 1/17/2024

The City of Sacramento Preservation Commission meeting on January 17, 2024, approved the prior meeting minutes. During review of the Sacramento Shops Historic District National Register nomination, commissioners expressed support for listing and emphasized preserving the site’s historically significant buildings. Staff said it would convey the commission’s comments in a letter; no formal motion or vote on the nomination was taken. The nomination was prepared by Architectural Resources Group for Downtown Railyard Venture in connection with eligibility for historic preservation tax credits, and was scheduled for state review on February 2. No contract amount was stated.

Staff reported that an RFP for an LGBTQ+ historic context and survey project had received proposals, which were reviewed by a committee; a selection had been made, though the selected party and contract amount are unclear in the transcript. The project is supported by a Certified Local Government grant and is expected to begin soon, with a 12-month completion timeline. Staff also reported receiving plaques purchased through a state Office of Historic Preservation grant and said they were being distributed to property owners. No spending authorization or procurement-related vote occurred at this meeting. Commissioners also reelected the chair and elected a vice chair.
