Wellington ARB reappoints Stacy as chair, names Maria Respati vice chair

The Wellington Architectural Review Board reappointed Stacy as chair and selected Maria Respati as vice chair during its June 25 meeting. Nominations were made from the board, seconded, and approved by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript.

The reappointment follows the board’s biennial practice of selecting leadership every two years. After nominations and a voice vote, the presiding member addressed the board: “You are chair again,” a statement recorded in the meeting log after the vote. The board then held a separate voice vote to appoint Maria Respati as vice chair; members who seconded and voted were not named in the record.

Board members discussed potential scheduling for the July meeting; the board identified July 23 as a tentative date but several members noted potential conflicts, and staff said they would follow up to confirm a quorum and final date. No formal changes to meeting schedule were made during the session.

Why it matters: Leadership appointments set the board’s procedural direction and agenda management for the next cycle of meetings. The board’s next meeting will determine whether pending items (including any late submissions such as the Farrell West application) require a revised schedule or special agenda placement.
