Municipal Inventory	Adopted	13 Aug 2014	Category 4	Category 4 These places are owned by the City and should be conserved, but special action is not required because the sites are mainly of historic and social value without built features. Some of the sites in this category are largely natural features and simply need to be managed in the ordinary sense of maintenance. Conservation actions may be limited to interpretation and/or site signage.
Municipal Inventory	Adopted	20 Jun 1996	Category 3	Category 3 These places are of interest with built features, but their conservation is not considered to be essential.
