Historic District Review Board elects officers, approves minutes and names representative to Waterfront Park Committee
Summary
At its Feb. 12 meeting, the Historic District Review Board approved minutes from Dec. 11, elected board officers and nominated Mike Sutton as its representative to a new Waterfront Park Committee established by the City Council.
The Historic District Review Board approved administrative items and elected officers at a Feb. 12 meeting, and the board nominated a member to serve on the City Council’s newly formed Waterfront Park Committee.
The board voted to approve minutes from its Dec. 11 meeting, elected Kim as secretary, Perry as vice chair and retained the existing chair for continuity. The board also nominated and approved Mike Sutton, Historic District Review Board member, to serve as the board’s representative on the Waterfront Park Committee created by the City Council to study the marina, waterfront park and related facilities.
The nomination for the three officers was placed on the floor as a single package and carried by vote. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes for each named mover and seconder; the meeting record shows votes in the affirmative and the chair calling the question before each vote.
The Waterfront Park Committee was described at the meeting as a temporary, citizen-based panel (Council-appointed) that will include members from two citizen boards—Planning and HDRB—and citizens at large. Board members who discussed the nomination cited institutional knowledge and construction experience as reasons for nominating Sutton for that role.
The board chair noted that officer elections are typically aligned with new-member appointments and suggested returning to an annual schedule tied to July seating of new members. Members discussed timing and agreed to return to the July (or early post-appointment) cycle so officer elections coincide with new appointments.
