  such  officer  may within twenty-four months after the effective date of
  this  section,  prepare  or  cause  to  be  prepared  a  local  historic
  preservation  report.  This  report may include, but need not be limited
  to:

  such  report  in  final  form  shall be submitted to the commissioner of
  parks and recreation and a copy shall be available for public inspection
  in the municipal  office  of  the  reporting  jurisdiction.  It  may  be
  reviewed and updated as necessary.
    2.  The  commissioner  of  the  office  of  parks and recreation shall

  purposes of such report are informational and compliance by a  reporting
  jurisdiction  shall  not  be used by the commissioner or any other state
  official as a condition  for  the  performance  of  any  state  service,
  assistance or other action.
