Clay County preservation board acknowledges departures, new senior planner and open seats; officer selection deferred
Summary
The board said officer selections will be deferred because the meeting lacked a quorum and noted Maureen's departure, the pending consideration of two applicants for board seats, and the county's hiring of Bernadette Fisher as senior planner to support preservation work.
At its June 1 meeting the Clay County Historical Preservation Board—meeting without a quorum—reported personnel changes and membership openings. Chair remarks and staff updates covered an expected vacancy on the board, a pending application, and the board’s decision to defer officer elections to the August meeting because July has no scheduled meeting and several member terms expire July 1.
Chair and staff explained that Maureen (last name not provided during the meeting) is leaving the board and that the board will miss her service. Staff said both the departing member’s seat and another at-large seat are available; staff also noted a vacancy in District 4 (which covers Middleburg and Keystone). The board said interested residents should contact staff for application links and that there are limits on at-large membership (no more than three members from the same district).
Staff introduced Bernadette Fisher as the county’s new senior planner. Staff said Fisher has experience in historic preservation and will begin supporting the board’s projects in August; the staff member who currently supports the board said she will remain available to assist during the transition and will work with Fisher.
Because no quorum was present, the board did not hold a vote to select officers or to confirm any appointments; the chair said officer selection would be deferred to the August meeting. The board also confirmed it would continue work on ongoing projects, including the Middleburg Colored School effort, and encouraged members and applicants to remain engaged.
No formal votes or motions were recorded at the meeting due to the lack of a quorum.
