On November 1, 1984 Clty staff appl1ed to the State's Department
of Parks and Recreatlon for a grant under its HlstorlC Resource
Survey Grants Program admln1stered by the Office of H1storic
Preservatlon. (The grant appllcatlon was filed pr10r to Councll
adopt1on of the attached resolutlon In order to meet grant pro-
gram deadllnes, a procedure permltted by the grant program.)
Matchlng grant fundlng was sought to complete the research and
documentatlon of the remalnlng 152 identlfled sltes in the
primary survey area and complete the research and documentat1on
for over 700 sltes located 1n the 1906 annexation north of Mon-
tana Avenue (See Flgure 2.). The sltes to be surveyed Wlthln the
prlmary survey area are both resldent1al and commerclal proper-
tles, whlle the area of the City north of Montana Avenue has been
ldentlf1ed as havlng outstandlng examples of Span1sh and Perlod
Revival residences bUllt durlng the 1920's and 1930's. In addl-
tlon to ldentlfYlng buildings, the lnventory will also 1dentlfy
other elements of h1storlc or cultural signlflcance incl udlng
un1que landscape features, street furn1 ture and llghting. Upon
completlon of thlS portlon of the survey, 49% of the Clty'S sltes
and structures having potentlal archltectural or hlstorlcal sig-
nlflcance wlll have been completed.
The Cl ty requested $17,560 1n grant ass1stance to be matched by
$ 25,059 worth of in-kind and other serV1ces contr lbuted by the
Clty. The grant funds requested wlll be used to hire a volun-
teers coordlnator to be selected competl tl vely, and for pho-
tgraphic supplies. Approximately $8,000 of the Clty contrlbutlon
wlll be to ut1l1ze the serVlces of former Plannlng Dlrector James

W. Lunsford who 1S already on retalner wlth the Clty, 1n part, to
contrlbute hlS expertlse on Santa Mon1ca's h1story. The remain-
lng $17,059 of the Cl ty share wlll be contrlbuted in-klnd by
volunteers and Clty personnel. Staff expects the volunteers to
spend 1,750 hours at an average rate of $5 per hour to complete
thlS portlon of the survey, ($8,750) and $8,309 1S the In-k1nd
cost to the Cl ty to adnun1ster the grant and maUl tor the survey
programs. This prO]ect1on 1S conslstent wlth actual costs to
conduct the survey work completed In 1982-83. Every effort wlll
be made to utll1ze the volunteers who worked on the lnltlal sur-
vey. Members of the City's Landmarks COII'mlSS10n w11l also be
involved. A descrlptlon of the spec1flc tasks to be completed 1S

nlng and Zonlng D1V1Sl0n publlshed a walklng tour, "Exploring
