Committee Member Kim Housken stated that the Coachella Valley Preservationist
meeting will be on Tuesday March 2, 2022, at 12:00 P.M.
CRPC Administrator Jason Finley stated that the next meeting will be a Workshop
to discuss the Henderson House.
Committee Member Don Graybill stated that he’s talked to the owners of Julian’s
regarding Randall’s apartments and they are restoring it back as much as they can
to its original state. They are coming up on their 25th anniversary in a year or two
and they might be interested in becoming a historic designation. Cliff Henderson’s
home is in the works right now and The Desert Magazine building itself is going to a
little longer to be considered as a historic designation.
Committee Member Rochelle McCune wanted to know if there is a reason why the
City has not done a paid survey since the “unofficial list” have a number of historic
items on it. Acknowledging things built after the 1980’s is something that should be
considered as well. Committee Member Toltzmann thinks it’s worth discussing with
the City Council.
