Local architect Jack Walsh seeks seat on Historic Preservation Commission

Jack Walsh appeared before the Sioux City Council to introduce his application for a seat on the Historic Preservation Commission. Walsh said he is an architect who recently moved to Sioux City from Pierce, South Dakota, and that he has a professional interest in historic preservation within the architectural context.

Walsh told the council he has family ties to Sioux City and said his grandfather, Michael Walsh, served as a Woodbury County judge. The mayor and other council members thanked Walsh for applying and noted that the commission could benefit from his experience.

Council members did not record a formal appointment during the public introduction; the mayor thanked Walsh for submitting an application and said he would add value to the historic preservation effort if appointed.
