SUBJECT: Recommendation to Adopt Resolution Requesting Bronze
Plaque Identifying Santa Monica pier Carousel Building
as a National Historic Landmark
Introduction
This report requests that Council adopt the attached Resolution
(Attachment A) requesting a bronze plaque which identifies the
Santa Monica pier Carousel Building as a National Historic
Landmark (NHL).
Background
At the August 8, 1986 meeting the city Council adopted a
resolution in support of the designation of the Santa Monica pier
Carousel Building as a National Historic Landmark. The
resolution was submitted to the National Park Service for
consideration by the National Park System Advisory Board at its
September l7, 1986 meeting. The Advisory Board recomn\ended to
the Secretary of the Interior that the santa Monica Looff
Hippodrome, or as it is more commonly known, the Carousel
Building, be designated a National Historic Landmark.
The city has received notification from the National Park Service
that the Secretary of the Interior has designated the Carousel
Building a National Historic Landmark. Designation automatically
places the property in the National Register of Historic Places.
The City will also receive a certificate attesting to the

.
national significance of the Carousel Building. In addition, the
City may apply for a bronze plaque to commemorate the
designation.
The attached Resolution makes application for the plaque and sets
forth certain agreements regarding the NHL.
The agreements
include preserving, as far as practicable, the historical values
of the site, permitting periodic inspection of the property by
the National Park Service for the purpose of monitoring its
integrity, returning the bronze plaque should the landmark
designation ever be revoked, and placing the plaque in public
view. There is nothing stated that would restrict the City's use
or management of the Carousel. The presentation of the plaque,
by a representative of the Department of Interior, will be
scheduled in approximately two months when the plaque is ready.
Budget/Fiscal Impact
The recommended action has no budget or fiscal impact.
Recommendation
staff respectfully recommends that the Council adopt the attached
Resolution requesting a plaque identifying the Santa Monica Pier
Carousel Building as a National Historic Landmark.
