in process to preserve and rehabilitate the barn.
Committee Member Peter Leroe-Muñoz asked about potential sources of funding for
this project.
Ms.Chavez spoke to various National and local grants that may be available as well as
fundraising opportunities.
Committee Member Peter Leroe-Muñoz asked if any cost estimates have been
prepared to update the barn and if any cost estimates have been prepared for annual
maintenance.
Ms.Chavez stated current estimates to bring the barn to code would be at minimum
$100,000.She stated that the cleanout of the barn would need to occur before more
definitive estimates could be done as they currently cannot see the full condition of the
building.Once the barn would be cleaned out,the Miller Red Barn Committee would
have their consultants go and do a more comprehensive assessment of the structure
and foundation.

VIII. ORAL REPORTS BY MEMBERS OF THE HISTORIC HERITAGE COMMITTEE:
Committee Member Steve Ashford asked if in regards to the Miller Red Barn
Committee,it would be a good idea to provide a letter or other form of action to the
Planning Commission and City Council noting the Historic Heritage Committee’s
support.
Committee Member Peter Leroe-Muñoz spoke that any item that required action to be
taken would need to be agendized for a future meeting since it had not been included
on this agenda.
Planning Division Manager Martin concurred with Peter’s assessment and noted that if
that was an item the Committee wanted to discuss then they should provide direction to
staff to do so.
Committee Member Steve Ashford made the motion to include discussion regarding the
potential historical significance of the Miller Red Barn to the next regularly scheduled
meeting and discuss what actions the Committee may want to take.All Committee
members agreed the item should be agendized.
