Heritage Commission retains Kyle Martin as chair and Maggie Gilliam as vice chair
Summary
At its annual business meeting, the Salina Heritage Commission re-elected Kyle Martin as chair and Maggie Gilliam as vice chair; the commission discussed membership and eligibility rules ahead of planning commission appointments.
The Salina Heritage Commission at its May 14 annual business meeting re-elected Kyle Martin to a second term as chair and retained Maggie Gilliam as vice chair.
Why it matters: the commission conducts an annual election to name a chair and vice chair; members must serve 12 months before they are eligible to hold either office. The reappointments maintain continuity in commission leadership while the Planning Commission completes its appointment of a representative to the Heritage Commission.
Discussion and eligibility Dustin Roberts, development services staff, explained the process and membership status: the Heritage Commission had six appointed seats with five members present at the meeting and one planning commission–appointed seat still pending. Roberts said, “Heritage Commission members must serve on the commission for 12 months before becoming eligible for the position of chair or vice chair,” noting that the Planning Commission will appoint its representative at its own annual meeting.
Commission action A motion to retain Kyle Martin as chair passed by voice vote with no opposition. A separate motion to retain Maggie Gilliam as vice chair likewise passed by voice vote with no opposition. Commissioners were informed that once the Planning Commission appoints its representative, the Heritage Commission will have full membership.
Ending The chair and vice chair will serve for the coming year. The commission will meet again for pending certificates of appropriateness and other business once the Planning Commission’s appointment is finalized.
