The council considered appointments to the Historic Preservation Commission and reappointed Kenneth Wheeler to one of the expired terms.

Staff reported two terms had expired and that eight applicants—Reginald Broussard, Sarah Brown, Tyler Dickson, William Hannon, Caleb Harris, Jerry Saugye, Kenneth Wheeler and Dustin Yu—applied for appointment or reappointment. A council member moved to reappoint Kenneth Wheeler; the motion was seconded and the council recorded an affirmation vote ("Aye"). The transcript records the motion and the recorded "Aye" votes in favor of Wheeler’s reappointment.

Why it matters: The Historic Preservation Commission advises the city on preservation matters and designations that affect land use, renovations in historic districts and eligible funding or tax incentives. Filling commission seats restores the panel’s capacity to act on preservation issues.
