Evanston Preservation Commission elects 2025 chair, vice chair and secretary
Summary
Commissioners selected new officers for 2025: Carl Klein as chair, Thomas Solomon as vice chair and Amanda Ziem as secretary; the selections were announced after a staff-run ballot.
The Evanston Preservation Commission elected officers for 2025 during the January meeting. Ballots collected by staff yielded the following results: Carl Klein was elected chair, Thomas Solomon was elected vice chair and Amanda Ziem was elected secretary.
The commission held a brief internal balloting process consistent with its ordinance. A staff sheet was used to collect votes; one commissioner withdrew from consideration for secretary after a second candidate was nominated. The meeting record notes the winners and that Carl Klein will preside as chair after the meeting.
Why it matters: Officer elections set the commission’s leadership for the coming year and determine who will chair meetings and serve in the commission’s liaison roles to other city bodies.
Vote details: The meeting transcript records the officer names announced by staff; the transcript does not include a roll‑call tally or recorded mover/second information for the vote.
Ending: Outgoing chair stated she would finish the current meeting and that the newly elected chair would assume duties for subsequent meetings.
