Commissioner Ron Zwaite proposed changing the Historic Preservation Commission’s regular meeting time from 5:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to reduce overtime demands on city staff and make participation easier for consultants and staff who work standard hours. Several commissioners objected, saying the earlier time would burden volunteer commissioners who hold day jobs, applicants who work 9–5 and could discourage potential future commissioners.

Commissioners discussed that bylaws changes require a written proposal and advance notice; the acting city attorney advised that a written request be filed for the record so the commission could consider language at a later meeting. Commissioner Zwaite agreed to submit written language and the body did not vote on the proposal at this meeting.
