   National Park Service spokeswoman Karen Breslin says the agency is consulting with the Historic Preservation Division about how to accommodate staff in a building on Old Santa Fe Trail in a way that is sensitive to the site's artworks and artifacts.">

   But Karen Breslin, a spokeswoman for the Inter-mountain Region, said speculation about the demise of the Santa Fe office has circulated since the regional headquarters moved from Santa Fe to Denver in 1995. "There are no plans in the offing to do anything like that," she said.
   
   Over the last decade, the number of regional employees in both Santa Fe and Denver has declined from 600 to 300 because of budget restraints. By next fall, the number of Santa Fe employees will be reduced by 28 from about 100 through relocations, early retirements and buyouts, Breslin said. "Anytime any changes are made that affects the number of people in Santa Fe, it ignites the fears that the Park Service is going to pull out of Santa Fe entirely," she said.
   
   Breslin said the region's cultural-resources and trails programs will remain in Santa Fe, but its information-technologies and submerged-cultural-resources programs might move to Denver or elsewhere. Some cultural-resource employees could be transferred to Denver or Flagstaff, Ariz., while a few Denver employees come to Santa Fe, she said.
   
   The National Park Service plans to move all its employees out of the Paisano Building at 2968 Rodeo Park Drive West, which is leased for $960,000 a year, and into its 68-year-old building at 1100 Old Santa Fe Trail.
   
   Breslin said about 90 employees will be in the old building short-term before the staff is reduced to about 70. Currently, she said, only 24 people are working in the old building, which has held up to 90 in the past and could hold a maximum of 110.
   
   "A building that's fully utilized stands a better chance of being preserved than a building that is less than well-utilized," she said. "This would simply be sort of returning the building back to its historical use. One would think that preservationists would be supportive of that end."
   
   Breslin said the Park Service is consulting with the state Historic Preservation Division about how to "reinvigorate that building as an office building and do so in a way that is sensitive to its historic properties."
   
   Breslin also denied charges by Wade and others that internal walls in the old building might have to be altered and some of its custom-made artworks and furniture removed to accommodate the new staffing.

   The reduction of 28 employees will come from relocations, early retirements and buyouts, said Karen Breslin, a spokeswoman for the Inter-mountain Region.
