Preservation) and otherwise assist the City Council on historic preservation matters.
b. Disseminate information to educate the public on state and federal laws protecting
antiquities and historic places.
c. Act as a coordinator for local preservation groups, educational workshops, signing and
monumentation projects, and other similar programs.

10. Monitor Trueblood House rehabilitation
1. Survey 10 additional properties and continue updating existing property surveys in the Cultural
Resources Inventory. Updating the 1989 Cultural Resources Inventory and increasing its
accessibility to preservation groups and the public remains a high priority. Members of the Oswego
Heritage Council use the City's Cultural Resources Inventory as a significant resource in developing
the Historic Homes Tour and have voiced strong support for HRAB's focus on correcting and
updating the Cultural Resources Inventory. The Cultural Resources Inventory provides
comprehensive documentation of the City's historic built environment and is fundamental to State
Planning Goal 5 compliance and coordination with preservation programs sponsored by the
National Parks Service and nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. Additional
inventory work is proposed for funding in the upcoming Certified Local Government(CLG)
2008/2009 grant cycle administered by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). A
preservation consultant and an intern have been hired to conduct inventory work on these properties.
The types of structures currently being considered by HRAB for the Cultural Resources Inventory
include:
® Homes by John Yeon, including his last residence, the Shaw House (1950); and modular
spec houses (1938) with Burt Smith, builder
* Post-1950 houses and one commercial building by James Van Evera Bailey
Work by Jamieson Parker and Roscoe Hemenway indicated for the Oswego Area
* Lake Grove area resources including Bungalow/Craftsmen buildings (1910-1930).
Homes by Richard Sundeleaf and Morris Whitehouse (not included in 1987-1988 Cultural
Resources Inventory by Koler/Morrison).
2. Nominate at least one property to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, funding was
obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) through a Certified Local Government
Grant(CLG)to complete the nomination of the Iron Worker's Cottage located on 40 Wilbur Street
to be on the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination was completed, reviewed and
approved by the Historic Resources Advisory Board at their meeting on October 8, 2008. On
October 28, 2008, the completed nomination was submitted to SHPO and the State Advisory
Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) and will be reviewed by this body on February 26,
2009. Information on this advisory committee can be found on their website at;
http://www.oregonheritage.org/ORPD/HCD/NATREGinrhp sachphome.shtml.
HRAB recommends the City Council support the stabilization, rehabilitation and ongoing
maintenance of the Iron Worker's Cottage. The City-owned property is also listed on the
Landmarks Designation List and is subject to the provisions of LOC Article 58 (Historic
Preservation). National Register listing would facilitate state and federal coordination and make the
property eligible for incentive programs and grants. The nomination of the Iron Worker's Cottage
(circa 1880) complements the highly significant Iron Furnace (circa 1865) located nearby in George
Rogers Park which has been listed on the National Register since 1974. HRAB recommends the
nomination of the Oswego Heritage House for the National Register of Historic Places. Research is
being conducted through CLG Grant Funding received this year to determine eligibility of these
resources.

3. Develop the Iron Heritage Trail Task Force. The Historic Resources Advisory Board would like
to ask the City Council to consider appointing a task force, or subcommittee to conduct research on
an"Iron Heritage Trail" concept. This committee would represent a broad cross section of citizens
and City staff charged with developing a master plan with specific goals including public education
and economic benefits, as well as emphasizing Lake Oswego's rich heritage. Members of the Task
Force will include two members of the Historic Resources Advisory Board as well as other
suggested participants from the City's Parks and Recreation Department, Chamber of Commerce,
The Oregon Heritage Council and or a citizen at large. Given that the iron furnace and the crucible
have received funding for restoration, it seems prudent to investigate linking these and other
heritage sites in a cohesive plan to promote public education and heritage tourism.
4. Fund and complete Iron Worker's Cottage maintenance and repairs. In 2007, the City contracted
with a preservation architect to develop a work plan and cost estimate for needed maintenance and
repair work for the City-owned landmark used to provide rental housing in Old Town. The
architect's report was completed in winter 2008. HRAB recommends City Council authorization of
funding for work required to prevent the landmark from deteriorating further (stabilization), bring
the modest, significant structure into compliance with applicable code requirements (LOC Article
58 Historic Preservation), acquire a tenant, and to serve as an example of historic stewardship and
source of community pride. City efforts have been focused on the funding for the restoration of the
iron furnace and,to date, funding for the stabilization of the Iron Workers cottage has not been
identified.
5. Continue support of the Iron Furnace restoration. HRAB member Sarah Neitzel served on the
Furnace Task Force and assisted in the coordination of the restoration and interpretive work. The
archeological work and the plans for stabilization have been completed and the City Council has
approved funding for this project. At their hearing on November 4, 2008, the City Council awarded
a public improvement contract to Pioneer Waterproofing, Inc. in the amount of$830,785 for the
Oregon Iron Furnace Restoration Project. HRAB will continue to provide support and seek
opportunities to assist in the promotion of the iron furnace and related Iron Industry components.
6. Designate new properties for the Landmark Designation List (LDL). In spring of 2007, the owner of
the Noel Dew House located at 210 Chandler Place requested that her property be placed on the
Landmark Designation List(LDL) (LOC Article 58, Appendix A) for the purpose of preserving the
home for the future. The request was approved by HRAB in 2007 and is only the second case of a
property owner consenting to landmark designation since completion of the inventory and adoption of
the LDL in 1990. HRAB views the nomination as a direct result of enthusiasm promoted by the first
annual Historic Home Tour sponsored by the Oswego Heritage Council in May of 2008. HRAB looks
forward to continuing the designation of City Landmarks in 2008-2009 including the Lakegrove Fire
District Building on Bryant Road, the Headrick—Carothers House and the Trueblood House. HRAB
will be reviewing properties evaluated in the ongoing inventory that receive a finding for significance
for adoption to the LDL.
Potential buildings for the City's Landmark Designation List(LOC 58.02.025 Appendix A) are
listed below:

7. Continue the civic celebration of Preservation Month. HRAB continues to recognize historic
structures, good stewardship and significant contributions through its Landmark Plaque and
Preservation Merit Award presentations by the City Council each May. An exciting and highly
significant addition to preservation month activities in 2007 and 2008 were the first and second
annual Historic Home Tour sponsored by the Oswego Heritage Council. HRAB members will
continue to serve on the planning committee and volunteer as "home hosts" during the tour in May,
2009. HRAB recommends ongoing City support by providing printing and transportation for the
event. HRAB acknowledges the significant public benefit attributed to the tour for raising public
awareness of the value of retaining historic homes, and for generating enthusiasm and pride for
preservation throughout the community.
8. Provide interpretive displays for sites and artifacts. HRAB recommends coordination with
Oswego Heritage Council members to interpret sites related to the City's History. Interpretive
materials to be viewed from the public right-of-way should be provided at the Iron Worker's
Cottage (40 Wilbur). In addition, interpretive materials are being developed for installation at the
historic head gate artifact in River Run Park II as the final phase of the project.
9. Provide educational opportunities for HRAB Members. Funding for HRAB members and Staff
to attend the 2009 Oregon Heritage Conference in early May has been provided by the 2008/2009
CLG grant. The conference is being held in Portland on April 15 -18 and features workshops,
walking and bicycle tours, seminars and meetings at heritage sites. The Oregon Heritage
Commission sponsors the conference, with assistance from the Oregon Commission on Historic
Cemeteries, the State Historic Preservation Office, and heritage organizations and agencies.
10. Monitor Trueblood House rehabilitation. The sale of the Trueblood House to Kevin and Shela
Perrin was completed in December 2006. Per the sales agreement, HRAB members and City Staff
monitor progress. They also provide technical assistance and support as planning approvals, permits
are obtained, and rehabilitation moves forward. The sales agreement states that the Trueblood
House needed to be designated on the City's Landmark Designation List(LDL) one year after the
closing date (November 30, 2007). Designation on the LDL was postponed because additional land
use approvals needed to be obtained for the site work. The HRAB notes that the designation will
occur before rehabilitation of the house is complete. Any proposed changes to the building are
reviewed administratively by staff for compliance with the Secretary of Interior Standards. After
this dwelling is on the Landmark Designation List, alterations will be reviewed by the Historic
Review Board for compliance with these standards.

-,-------,. CO-LA-CIL REPORT
OREGo1
TO: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
Mayor Jack Hoffman and Lake Oswego City Councilors
FROM: Jean Baumann, SAB Chair
SUBJECT: 2009 City Council Goals
DATE: 5 January 2009
The Sustainability Advisory Board was created in 2008 to promote the sustainability of Lake
Oswego as a whole, and to educate, advise, and assist the Council, staff, and community in
efforts to make Lake Oswego a regional leader in sustainability. The SAB takes the City's
adopted Sustainability Plan as a basis for its work; this plan relies upon The Natural Step model
of sustainability and calls for a consideration of ecological, economic, and community systems in
setting both short and long-term goals.
The SAB held its first meeting in August 2008. In 2008 the board developed ground rules and
ways of working and gathered a sense of community interests, and began to identify the issues
and strategies of greatest importance. The result was the Sustainability Advisory Board's 2009
Work Plan, which was adopted by the Council in December 2008. This is attached as Exhibit A.
Sustainability encompasses all aspects of community life, including transportation, development,
education, and quality of life. For this reason, the board appreciates the opportunity to suggest
Council goals for the coining year in addition to its own work plan. Its top priorities for the
Council are identified in Exhibit B, "Recommendations to 2009 City Council Goals."
Some proposed actions, such as number 1, "Renew the commitment to the U S Mayor's Climate
Protection agreement" are entirely within the Council's purview. However, many items will be
efforts that also engage the SAB and other Boards and Commissions, such as the Transportation
Advisory Board, Planning Commission, and Natural Resources Advisory Board. The SAB has
already initiated efforts to introduce sustainability to other boards and commissions by assigning
SAB members as liaisons to all other boards. The SAB intends to make presentations on this
topic to all City boards during the year. The Council's support will also be instrumental in
supporting other boards and commissions work related to sustainability.
The SAB looks forward to a productive 2009, and to opportunities to support this Council in
building a city that thrives socially, economically, and environmentally—a sustainable
City of Lake Oswego.
