In response to questions from Chair Babos, current & future solar panel and ADUs 
regulations in relation to historic districts were discussed amongst the group. Mr. Kriegl 
explained there are currently no restrictions on solar panels on historic homes, but they 
are usually placed at the rear of the house. He also stated the City is updating their ADU 
regulations. Since ADU’s are often not visible from the street they do not need to match 
the house exactly.  
 
Ms. Eaton shared her expertise and experience as well as her role as an Archeologist with 
the city. She discussed the Arizona Antiquities Act Reviews and Cultural Resource 
Assessments she has conducted. She will be working on standardizing the archeological 
review process for city projects. The challenges of coordinating with various agencies and

further discussed the rules for email communications, the importance of avoiding serial 
meetings, as well as best practices for social events and social media. She emphasized 
the need for public confidence in the system and the importance of open meetings.

MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 10, 2026 HISTORIC PRESERVATION MEETING 
 
 
 
  
- 3 - 
 
3-c.   Presentation and discussion on role, powers, and duties of the Historic 
Preservation Board as outlined within the Mesa City Code, Mesa Zoning Ordinance, 
and Historic Preservation Bylaws 
 
Summary: 
 
Matthew Kriegl, Historic Preservation Officer, displayed a PowerPoint presentation.  
(see attachment 1) 
Mr. Kriegl explained the main roles, powers, duties, and bylaws of the Historic 
Preservation Board as listed in the presentation.  
Mr. Kriegl stated for historic preservation efforts to be successful there is a need for 
collaboration between the Historic Preservation Office, the Board, the Mesa Preservation 
Foundation, the public, and other city departments. The Historic Preservation Office 
advocates for historic preservation at a broader level and communicates to the city, while 
the Board and the Preservation Foundation focus on community-level advocacy. So, the 
Historic Preservation Office acts as a facilitator. He also discussed the challenges and 
opportunities within these Historic Preservation roles. This led to a larger discussion of the 
Board’s role in creating a supplemental list. Specifically, about the Board’s ability to 
approach property owners directly and how Historic Preservation can be and has been 
used as a “carrot” to encourage citizens to participate in historic programs such as 
building registration, creating historic districts, historic signage, neon signs, etc.

In response to Boardmember Nelson suggestion to convert the Alston House into a 
museum, Mr. Kriegl explained the constraints of grant funding and the potential for ADA

preservation regulations.

property owner and developers. The potential for landmarking the Buckhorn Baths 
and the importance of community engagement in preservation efforts was 
discussed.  
• 
An application for an Urban Transformation grant to survey historic properties 
along Main Street was announced. The grant aims to leverage the historic 
significance of properties to attract investment and support preservation efforts.  
• 
Mr. Kriegl noted the rising construction costs and the urgency of starting the urban 
garden and farm project. 
• 
SHPO's regional meeting cancellation due to funding issues, with Mesa offering to 
host a future conference/meeting.  
• 
The mayor and city council are planning to restore the clock on Main Street, which 
turns 100 years old in 2026, and has been unmaintained for almost three decades. 
The clock's historical context and its current state of disrepair were detailed and 
the possibility of including it as a historic sign under a new ordinance. 
 
 
Ms. Eaton presented the following talking points on the Archeology Workplan:

MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 10, 2026 HISTORIC PRESERVATION MEETING 
 
 
 
  
- 5 - 
• 
The 2026-2027 archeology work plan, focusing on three main goals: cultural 
resource compliance, stakeholder relationships, and strategic planning.

The plan includes standardizing assessments for capital improvement projects, 
tracking archeological reviews, and creating a cultural resource geo database. 
• 
The importance of fostering relationships with partner agencies and city 
departments, along with the need for a standardized outreach protocol. 
• 
Strategic planning involves benchmarking with other municipalities, creating an 
archeological compliance training program, and public outreach initiatives. 
 
Mr. Kriegl mentions the 2026 historic preservation student art and essay contest, 
encouraging participation. The conversation shifted to community outreach and updating 
existing materials, with a focus on the A250 and Fourth of July celebration. Ms. Rorex

8. Discussion Items 
 
8-a.  Identify and discuss Historic Preservation Board goals for 2026-2027 
Chair Babos requested a discussion of the supplemental list be included on the next meeting’s 
agenda. He requested Board members to come to the meeting with one or two suggested 
buildings for consideration. He mentioned the possibility of the Board designating a location for 
the city to install a descriptive sign, much like the one that stands in front of the Alston House.   
Boardmember Nelson suggested recognizing people who have contributed to history, such as 
those involved in the arts and preservation. Board members agreed to recognize individuals at 
events like Preservation Month and Chair Babos mentioned involving students in the recognition 
process and using the 250th anniversary as an opportunity to recognize contributions. 
Mr. Kriegl emphasized the importance of reinstating Preservation Awards to honor individuals 
and projects that contribute to preservation. Several nominees, individuals, groups and locations 
were discussed.  
Mr. Kriegl encouraged engaging with the community through events and educational outreach 
to raise awareness about the role of the Board and preservation. Boardmember Nelson 
suggested connecting with the historical museum and other community organizations to 
promote preservation.  
The importance of advocating for laws that protect historic districts from changes that could 
harm their character was discussed.

Meeting 
“The gathering, in person or through
