(4) Commission members shall serve terms not to exceed three (3)
years and will be eligible for reappointment as specified by the
governing body.
(5) A representative of the commission shall attend at least one meeting
each year for informational purposes sponsored by the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) or other source. The SHPO shall provide
all local commissions with orientation materials and training
designed to provide a working knowledge of the roles and operations
of federal, state, and local preservation programs. In addition, the
SHPO will provide technical information through training manuals,
publications, newsletter articles, and other appropriate means to
distribute information useful to CLGs. SHPO staff may be contacted
also for direct assistance.
B. Commission duties
Commission duties and responsibilities will be complemented by arid
coordinated with those of the State Historic Preservation Office. Under
federal regulations, SHPO duties include directing and conducting statewide
surveys, identifying and nominating properties to the National Register of
Historic Places, preparing and implementing comprehensive statewide
historic preservation planning, administering grants programs, providing
public information and training, and assisting local, state and federal
government agencies in carrying out various historic preservation
responsibilities.
Therefore, in order to meet federal and state regulations, the local review
commission are required to perform the following duties that coordinate
with SHPO activities:
(1) Participate in the nomination of properties within its jurisdiction to
the National Register of Historic Places (See SLCTION I. C. below).
(2) Act as a liaison on behalf of the local government to individuals and
organizations within its jurisdiction for historic preservation and
related matters.
(3)
Act in an advisory role to other officials and departments of local
government regarding the protection of local cultural resources, and
when appropriate, participate in local planning and decision-making.
Idaho Code 67-4601 allows commissions to perform a wide range of additional
similar activities, duties, and responsibilities if they so choose (and are
authorized by their local ordinance); however, these additional duties are not
required for certification itself. These addition powers and activities include
(1) Conduct a survey of local historic properties.
(2) Acquire fee and lesser- interests in historic properties.
(3) Preserve, restore, maintain, and operate historic properties under
the ownership or control of the local government.

body.
(9) Promote and conduct an educational zinc) interpretive program on
historic properties within its jurisdiction.
(10) Enter on private land, with the owner's permission, for the purposes
of survey activities and examination.
Idaho Code 67-4608 allows communities to adopt a local ordinance requiring
that buildings in designated historic districts obtain a Certificate of
Appropriateness frorT the Historic Preservation Commission before any exterior
modifications can be made. Again, this is not required for a community to
become a CLG; however, the State Historic Preservation Office stronaiv
encourages communities to adopt such a "Design Review" provision as it is one
of the best way to help ensure that these historic resources as properly
maintained.
The exact requirements and procedures for conducting the above activities can
be found in the State legislation. Assistance is also available from the SHPO
office. A model ordinance meeting the minimum CLG requirements is provided
in ATTACHMENT C.
2. Maintain a system for the survey and inventory of historic properties.
The local government shall establish and maintain a system to survey and identify
cultural or historic resources (see definition in ATTACHMENT A within its area of
jurisdiction. It shall also maintain a local inventory of identified sites. Survey and
inventory efforts shall meet SHPO standards.
It is important that local historic preservation efforts are complementary to and
properly coordinated with those of the SHPO. In order to make certain that local survey
and inventory efforts are consistent with the State's comprehensive historic
preservation plan, the State Historic Preservation Office ,provides local governments
with guidelines for conducting surveys and inventorying potential historic resources.
Following the State's guidelines will help ensure that local information is formatted so
that it can be easily and accurately integrated into the State's historic preservation and

4. Encourage local historic preservation planning.
I he general policy of ttie State Historic Preservation Office states that long -ter m
ulannrng for historic preservation issues is essential for the most efficient use of limited
esou rces,
This requirement may be met in a variety of ways. For example, a survey and inventory
of existing historic and prehistoric resources (see Minimum Requirement 2) serves as a
critical base of information on which to decide future options for the community at
large.
Counties and larger cities may find it advantageous to develop and implement an
overall preservation plan that outlines goals and objectives for identifying, evaluating,
and protecting resources deemed important to the locale. Such an approach can help
integrate local history issues with general community planning policies. SHPO can work
vvith a local government to design a system that meets federal statutory definitions of
designation and protection.
At a minirnjrn, local crovernments will want to develop methods for considering cultural
,-esources in local decision-making. For example, the local preservation commission
may be given a formal advisory role in planning and zoning issues, designate and
provide protection for historic properties, participate in building permit processing, and
consult with other local governmental agencies in economic development and tourism
issi
The Idaho Local Planning Act of 1975 (Idaho Code 67-6501) requires that local
governments' comprehensive planning must include a component for "Special Areas of
Sites." Specifically, there must be an analysis of areas, sites, or structures of historical,
archaeological, or architectural significance within the jurisdiction of the governing
board,
5. Enforce appropriate state or local legislation for the designation and
protection of historic properties.
Federal regulations allow each state to define what constitutes "appropriate
lenislation." The Idaho program identifies three (3) primary state laws which local
governments must enforce as applicable. Brief summaries of these and other state laws
are found in ATTACHMENT B.
A. Local Planning Act of 1975 (IC 67-6501)
Local governments must consider "special areas or sites," to include historic,
architectural, and archaeological properties, in their overall comprehensive
planning process. By this means, cultural resources will be formally brought
into the planning and decision-making process, and afforded some
protection through this process.
B. Preservation of Historic Sites (IC 67-4601)
Tliis state law authorizes city and county governments to establish a local
historic preservation commission and other ordinances for the designation
and protection of historic properties within its jurisdiction through a design
review process. (See Minimum Requirement 1 above). Such a specific
protective ordinance is not necessary to meet certification requirements.

Id.ahn C.'rtih:.d Local Government PrO(.11,)111 14
C. Antiquities Act of 1984 (IC 18-7027, IC 27-501)
This State law prohibits the disturbance of prehistoric human bur ials, or the
possession of human remains or artifacts removed from a burial, unless the
excavation is conducted by a qualified archaeologist with the prioi approval
of the State Historical Society and the appropriate Indian tribe.
D. Other relevant laws
Under Idaho Code (67-4601 to 4619), communities in Idaho may enact a
historic preservation ordinance that formally designates and protects
historic properties through a local design review approval process. Although
such a specific protective ordinance is not necessary to meet certification
requirements, governments are permitted this more direct alternative.
Should such an ordinance be enacted, it must meet all the requirements of
Idaho Code with regard to designation procedures, commission membership
requirements, and so forth. Federal regulations recommend local orcliriances
also meet the federal statutory definitions of designation and protect ion.
ATTACHMENT B to this document provides a summary of current State laws
affecting historic preservation and related issues. Assistance and technical
advice for incorporating these or other provisions in the local ordinance may
be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office.
6. Satisfactorily perform the responsibilities delegated to it under federal
statute.
The State Historic Preservation Office will monitor and evaluate the performance of
Certified Local Governments. Performance standards and criteria used for evaluating
local programs will he provided to participating governments during SHPO tiainrnci
sessions and directly to CLGs as they establish and develop their individual programs.
These standards and criteria will be reviewed periodically to ensure they accommodate
changing state and local needs and priorities, as well as federal requirements. The
SHPO shall ensure that CLG performance of its responsibilities is consistent and
coordinated with the identification, evaluation, and preservation priorities of the State
comprehensive historic preservation planning process.
A. Monitoring
The State Historic Preservation Office conducts on-going monitoring of
Certified Local Governments in order to help then improve their programs,
develop potential grant projects, and identify any issues before they become
major problems. To that end, CLGs must submit the following to SHPO for
review
• Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes
• Subgrant reports (if applicable)
• Survey and inventory information
• National Register nomination comments
• An annual report in a format provided by SHPO
• Any other appropriate documents as needed
B. Program Evaluations
At least once every four (4) years, the Idaho State Historic Preservation
Office will conduct an evaluation of the CLG. The SHPO will maintain written
Idaho State Historical Society • Idaho State Historic Preservation Office
210 Main Street, Boise. ID • (208) 488-7471 • www.historv.idE•Iio.gov
Idaho Certified Local Government Program 15
records of each CLG evaluation so that results are available to the National
Park Service (Department of the Interior). Copies of all evaluations will be
sent to the appropriate local government official.
CLG program evaluations will include general program operations and
administration; qualifications of commission members and staff if
applicable; and administration and financial management of CLG
pass-through subgrants, if applicable. Other performance evaluation factors
are outlined in the evaluation document distributed by this office.
Substandard performance may be reflected by failure to enforce local or
appropriate State legislation, failure to maintain an adequate and qualified
commission, failure to submit reports on National Register nominations
within a CLG's jurisdiction, improper use of pass-through subgrant funding,
failure to complete subgrant projects, or failure of the project to produce
measurable results, or failure to otherwise meet the requirements specified
in the Certification Agreement.
If a CLG's performance is determined to be inadequate, the SHPO will
provide advice and assistance and will suggest ways to meet the
performance standards. A stipulated period of time, generally not to exceed
one (1) year, will be allowed to improve that performance. If the State
determines that there has not been sufficient improvement or that the local
government does not have an adequate plan in place to meet the minimum
requirements to participate in the CLG program, the State may begin
decertification procedures as outlined below.
C. Decertification
If the SHPO determines that decertification is warranted, such a
recommendation will be sent to the Secretary of the Interior, through the
National Park Service. This recommendation shall cite the specific reasons
why decertification is proposed under federal regulations. If the Secretary
does not object within thirty (30) working days of receipt, the decertification
shall be considered approved by the Secretary.
The SHPO may also recommend decertification if a CLG requests to be
decertified in writing. The SHPO must forward a copy of the CLG's letter with
the SHPO's request to the National Park Service.
When a local government is decertified, the State will conduct financial
closeout procedures if that government is a current recipient or a
pass-through subgrant. At the option of the SHPO and in consultation with
the local government, the subgrant may be terminated immediately or the
local government may complete the project although it no longer is certified.
The decertified government will not be eligible for future funding under the
CLG program unless it is reinstated in the program.

Preservation Briefs provide guidance on preserving, rehabilitating, and restoring historic buildings. These
NPS Publications help historic building owners recognize and resolve common problems prior to work. The
briefs are especially useful to Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program applicants because they
recommend methods and approaches for rehabilitating historic buildings that are consistent with their historic
character.
Some of the web versions of the Preservation Briefs differ somewhat from the printed versions. Many
illustrations are new and in color rather than black and white; Captions are simplified and some complex
charts are omitted. To order hard copies of the Briefs, see Printed Publications.
