Watching my low rider. Now that wouldnt have happened 30 years ago because 30 years ago i would have probably been ticketed or my car would have been towed. You know what im talking about . We have come a long way, low and slow. There is a lot that has been said about whats going on in this country. I just want to thank all of you that came out to the march that we had to protest about children being encaged. I want to thank you because youre standing up to close those camps. I want to thank you because youre standing up to keep families together, because in our culture, the number one thing thats most important to us is family. So the first award is famed after an incredible, amazing woman that was born in 1930, and i just ask somebody if i knew the math right. She is 89 years of age. I am speaking about delores. [cheering and applause] i met delores when i was 12 years old, when mi papa sent me away for the summer and sent me to volunteer for the united farm workers. I had no idea wh

The vice chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation what is that organization . Independent federal agency for the executive branch. It is created by the preservation act of 1966. Recently a couple years ago celebrated its 50th anniversary. It is a regulatory agency, and, as we will see, has responsibilities not only in that area butut to advise the president and congress on matters concerning preservationy policy. The regulatory section is called section 106. Tha
For three days in july, 1863, the union and confederate armies faced off in gettysburg, pennsylvania. One of the most decisive battles of the civil war. Next on american artifacts, we visit confederate general robert e. Lees gettysburg headquarters. The Civil War Trust, a nonprofit organization, purchased the house and surrounding land in 2015. We talk with Jim Lighthizer and Garry Adelman of the trust about the propertys history and restoration. This house is significant to the battle of gettysburg, one of the most, if not the most important battle of the whole civil war because it was the epicenter of the confederate effort. This is the headquarters. This is where robert e. Lee was. This is the building in which he made crucial decisions during the course of those three days of that battle that literally determined the outcome of the battle. This property, when we bought it, looks nothing like it does right now. It was a Hotel Complex with a brew pub restaurant attached to it. So it
Resistant walls and weatherization. It speaks to the disconnect we find there and that comes from the project Design Professionals and percolates down to ending up with something that is maybe a little beyond but, you know, some of them we see a little bit beyond, but again, the universe with 49 hopkins projects, its pretty small. Just want to make that clear. I spoke about the facade, its not difficult to preserve stuff like that. Shoring and bracing. We dont see any reason as inspectors why it cant be preserved and then going back to the code perspective, its better to upgrade the areas of the building not visible right away. I would suggest an element of joint effort. Documented and approved by the Planning Department. Penalties. Two times penalty is based on the valuation of the work performed in access of what was approved. So if the number is 10,000 just for example and they do an extra 1,000, its two times based on the 1,000. Its limited and thats what the code allows for. We ca
Is the Code Enforcement fees and orders of abatement, that takes it into thousands of dollars for assessment of Code Enforcement. Referral to the City Attorney for litigation and possible financial penalty, we have evidence of that here. Our unlawful demolition code prohibits the project from proceeding for five years, in consideration of 317 of the planning code, where theres a bit of a contractor. I think whats important to understand about our code section regarding unlawful demolition, it states when no demolition permit is in place, the unlawful demolition and five years would kick in. But just bear in mind, these jobs have significant permits. They have hopkins had a 650,000 permit. There was demolition shown on it. I would suggest the unlawful demo is probably more tailored to the guy who gets the Kitchen Remodel permit and takers down the building. He has no demolition permit whatsoever. These guys have significant permits. They go beyond the scope, we stop them, we send them b
